Chapter 27 : Lauren Finds Out the Truth

*Shelby*

My eyes burned from all of the crying I had done the night before. I’d spent the whole day in my room, and I’d barely slept that night, worrying about how many magazines would have the picture of me and Michael on the cover the next day and thinking about my decision to leave.

I just hoped that I would be able to make it home before the media caught hold of the story. I wanted to be as far away from Lauren as possible when she got ahold of the picture.

I texted Lin, telling her to confirm the flight for the next day and wondered how I'd even get there. Flying commercial meant I couldn't use the private airstrip.

Maybe Reggie will be able to help me. Or Brenna. Now more than ever, I wanted to escape this vacation.

I’d gone to the bathroom and started the shower, filling the room with steam, when I heard an urgent knocking on my door.
