"That see deal to slip his mind"

"Contrary to what all you Archers have stuck in your head there was a loton with ht Remy was a different person after he found you He was always a good guy, always the best of all of us but once you caave hie the rest of us had You ht into turn inside out "Well he saved me so we made each other better"

We fell into an uncoain until the car stopped in front of his apartment complex He turned in the seat and looked down at me I peeked at him from under my arm The blue in his eyes was all but sed up by the paler silver and gray "Can you get back to University Park or do you need me to take you? I can have Nash follow us since he’s home from work" It was a nice offer, one I was surprised he extended, but I had had my fill of Archers for the day and the drive from Capitol Hill to University Park wasn’t that bad on a Sunday in the early evening

"I’ll make it It’s not that far" I scrambled out of the back and had to lean on the door fra so close I could see the pulse in his throat thu bird "Thanks though"

He exhaled and rubbed his hands roughly over his face He took a step back andhim dead in the eye when he told me, "I’ me to play nice I’ers to my brow and let e received My services as chauffer slash buffer are no longer needed, whichyou around Try and take care of yourself Rule, seriously somebody has to"

I shut the door before he could say anything else and didn’t even wait until he moved away from the car to put it in reverse and pull away from the apartment complex It was a short drive to my own apartment that I shared with my best friend Ayden I had ether She was a chem major, worked at the same sports bar I did and totally had the patience to deal with all round was no picnic either so I loved that I could always rely on her to be there for me, she was also sure the reasonand that I could never co up on Rule Archer so when I ca with tears in my eyes she put me to bed without questions and pulled the blinds in iant glass of water

The bed depressed when she clied h the loops on my slacks

"It was bad today?" Ayden was from Kentucky and her southern drawl rolled overbalain, he had a hickey the size of Alaska on his neck, h school hit on hiot and Dale less than a minute to insult his clothes and hair and remind him he is not now or never will be his dead twin brother Luckily this tiard for manners but he blew his top and storer co this the second faure it out and just love and appreciate one another and to top it off Gabe has been blowing up my phone all day and I can’t think of anyone I want to talk to less, so yeah it was really fucking bad today"

She brushed a hand over hed softly "Girl, the situations you find yourself in"

"Tell ive him the key to his place back?"

I moaned a little and buried my head in the pillow "No I totally spaced it but it’s not like I’ain Honestly I’ll be super glad to never have to see Rule’s pierced junk again"

She snickered a laugh atat the ceiling Ayden’s hair was as black as mine was blond and cut in a funky short pixie style She had big whiskey colored eyes and a heart that was pure gold Besides Remy she was the best friend I ever had and I loved her for not h She just got it and while sheand loving a person that viewedmore than a nuisance, she never condemned or criticized me for it
