Chapter 22

Lug Nut

The door was cracked so I could hear everything Ace said to Ailee. I wanted to give them privacy but I also didn’t trust Acee one hundred percent yet. He would have to earn that back after what he did. Ailee would be here if he had gotten off his ass months ago. I listen to Ace tell Ailee that he was going to make her better. He said he was going to try to be a better father from here on out. But what got me is when he said he loved her. I looked around the corner of the door and saw Ailee looking at him. I don’t know what she said to him but he suddenly jumped up and hugged her. It looked like Ailee had forgiven him. That makes me smile. But not for Ace. I’m still pissed off at him for waiting this long. And for what. Even if he didn’t talk to her he should have gone ahead and donated his marrow so Ailee could survive to try to fix his fuck up. B
