Chapter 110: Missing?, Part 2

For the next week, I spent my days at school taking final exams, my evenings studying, and my nights scanning pictures. The boxes were never-ending, and I was starting to think I needed to renegotiate my pay rate for this job.

Trent was still missing. I'd overheard Olivia say he hadn't texted her, and he wasn't answering her calls. That both thrilled and upset me. Where could he have gone? And why didn't he bother to tell anyone he was leaving? But more than that, why on earth had he given his number to Olivia and not me?

Once again, I found myself fighting the urge to text Jaxon. But what would I say? I'd made it clear when I quit tutoring him that I no longer wanted to see him. Not having him and Trent around was both a relief and a constant source of angst. I missed seeing Trent, and I missed the ease of talking to Jaxon, but I didn't miss the waves of deja vu and confusion that came when I was in their presence.
