The Thin Redline Between Love and Hate Chapter 60
Calla:By the time we finally lost Reve, my nerves were shot, Not frayed, Not strained, Completely fucking gone. I kept checking the rearview mirror long after the black BMW disappeared from sight. Nothing. Just traffic, A delivery van, A silver sedan. A minivan with two screaming kids in the back. Normal. Safe. Except I didn't feel safe anymore. Not after yesterday. Not after Bishop. Not after Dad. And definitely not after watching Reve chase us through downtown like he had nothing left to lose. Jace must have noticed me checking the mirror for the hundredth time because he reached over and gently lowered it."You're going to give yourself whiplash.""I want to know if he's behind us.""He isn't.""You don't know that.""I'd hear him."I glanced at him. "How?""That BMW sounds like an angry lawn mower."I almost smiled. Almost. Then my eyes drifted toward his face. The cuts from yesterday were darker now. A bruise had started blooming along his cheekbone. His ribs were wrapped beneat

Jace:We woke up the next morning with a plan. Or at least, something close enough to a plan to make me feel like we weren't completely screwed. We needed three things. Clothes. Food. And the papers. Everything else could wait. Calla stuffed her phone into her purse while I checked the windows downstairs for the third time. The warehouse was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that made every little sound feel like a warning. A pipe groaned somewhere above us. A truck rumbled along the industrial road outside. Then silence again.Riggs had given us the green light to leave, but he'd also given us one hell of a warning. Don't go home. Not Riverside. Not Eastside. Not Vance Performance. Not anywhere either of us could be easily found. So that was the plan. We weren't going home. Not yet. Calla came down the stairs wearing yesterday's jeans and a borrowed Reapers T-shirt she'd tied at the waist. Her hair was pulled into a messy knot, and there were shadows beneath her eyes. She looked ex

Calla:Something was ringing. Over, And over, And over. It was my phone. Fuckkkkkk. I groaned into the pillow, burying my face deeper beneath the blanket. Whoever it was… They were persistent. My hand blindly searched the nightstand. Nothing. I cracked one eye open. The unfamiliar room slowly came into focus. The faded walls. The old dresser. The cracked window looking out over the marsh. Right. The Reapers clubhouse. Jace. Everything. I sat up too quickly. My head protested immediately."Ow..." My phone vibrated again. It was sitting on the chair beside the bed. Dad. Of course it was. I glanced around the room. Empty. Jace was gone. Probably downstairs. I answered. "...Hello?""Calla." His voice sounded tired. More tired than I'd ever heard it. "Thank God. I've been calling you.""My phone was on silent.""Where are you?"I hesitated. "Safe.""Calla.""I'm safe."Silence. Then… "I want you to come home. Now."I looked toward the window. "No."Another pause. "Your mother is worried si

Jace:The drive out of Eastside felt longer than it really was. Mostly because every bump in the road reminded me just how hard I'd been hit. I shifted in Bubblegum's passenger seat. Bad idea. A sharp pain shot through my ribs. "Easy," Calla said without taking her eyes off the road."I am.""You just made a face.""I didn't.""You absolutely did."I looked out the window. "...Maybe a little."She smiled to herself. "Thought so." The roads slowly gave way from polished Eastside streets to the cracked pavement surrounding the industrial port. Tower cranes stretched into the evening sky. Cargo ships sat docked in the distance. The smell of diesel mixed with saltwater drifted through Bubblegum's open windows. Calla glanced over. "So...""So?""Where exactly are we going?""The safest place I know."She raised an eyebrow. "That sounds reassuring.""It'll make sense." We turned off the main road onto an old gravel lane. An abandoned boat repair warehouse sat tucked between the marsh and t

Calla: I couldn't breathe. Dad's words still echoed through my apartment long after he'd slammed the door. Stay away from Jace. I've already lost one kid. I'm not losing another.I leaned against the kitchen counter, staring at nothing. The apartment suddenly felt too small. Too quiet. Too much like a cage. No. I needed air. I hurried into my bedroom, throwing my hair into a messy ponytail. Fresh jeans. An oversized faded teal T-shirt. My favorite white and teal Nike Dunks. I didn't even bother with makeup. I grabbed my keys and practically ran for the door. The second Bubblegum fired to life, I felt myself breathe a little easier. Just drive. That's all. Clear your head. Figure everything out later.Traffic rolled steadily across the Eastside Bridge. The bay sparkled beneath the morning sun, calm enough you'd never guess a storm had torn through the city just hours before. I rolled the windows down. The salty breeze whipped loose strands of hair across my face. My phone was in th

Jace:We were running out of time. That thought sat in the pit of my stomach the entire drive away from Sally's. Reve didn't just happen to find me. He hunted me down in broad daylight, in the middle of Riverside. That wasn't some jealous boyfriend throwing a fit. That was desperation. And desperate people… Did desperate things. My hands tightened around the steering wheel. Calla. I grabbed my phone and hit her contact. The ringtone echoed through the car. Once. Twice. Three times. Come on… Pick up. Voicemail. "Damn it." I hung up and called again. Straight to voicemail.My stomach sank. She never ignored me. Not after everything. Not now. Maybe she was in the shower. Maybe her phone was dead. Maybe— No. I wasn't letting my brain go there. I shoved the car into gear. If she had left her apartment, she'd be headed to one place, The garage. There was one road she'd almost certainly take, the main stretch along the water from Eastside into Riverside. Which meant… I had a chance. A hot-
