Chapter Three

Jake

It had been a very cozy morning until Beth saw the hickey on her neck.

Could I help it if I got lost in the passion and forgot about appearances?

Wasn’t that supposed to be a good thing?

Then, once the mood was broken, she wanted to run home.

Mum would tell me to apologize for using the B-word, but I was just trying to play and get Beth’s mind off her worries. Wasn’t like her mother would die tomorrow if she had a little fun, right? Yeah, she’d only been a legal adult for a little over a month, but couldn’t she try for a little independence? Everything was what about my parents even before her mum got sick.

what about my parentsI didn’t wish ill on her mother at all, but…I also didn’t want to be used for comfort, and that’s what sneaking around felt like. A dirty secret was only fun when it was meant to be hot, like sneaking into janitor closets in classroom buildings. It would just be nice to get a little appreciation for crossing an ocean and a continent to be here.
