Chapter 37

Melanie POV

I call the cab to pick me up at Heath’s house. I hope this goes the way that Jade thinks it will. I know she would have no problem sacrificing me to save Dakota’s ass, but I am not really in the mood to die today.

Heath comes to the bedroom to let me know the cab is there to pick me up. He takes me into his arms and holds me so gently. These new emotions and feelings are so unusual for me. It is strange to have someone care for me. I hope I do not fuck it up.

Heath walks me out of the house to the cab. I get in and give the driver the address for the diner. I am nervous. I feel like I may be sick, but I need to pull myself together. I have to be my usual sassy self when I meet her at the diner, or she will know that I know all about her.

The cab pulls into the diner. I see Melanie sitting inside, already waiting for me. I pay the driver and get out of the cab. I go into the restaurant. She waves me over. I go and sit down with her.
