Hailey’s POV
My heart leapt out of my chest at Tyler’s words. That bastard. That conniving, no-good, mother f*****g, rat bastard.
“What?” Derek said.
“Yeah man, she’s in the closet. You should go in there, maybe play a little seven minutes in heaven.”
“Oh, oh yeah? She’s in there?” Derek said sarcastically. “So I’ll just open this door and find Hailey standing in your pile of s**t-stained underwear?”
“Yup,” Tyler said with a laugh.
I heard footsteps making their way towards the closet. I sucked in my breath and held it, careful not to move or make a sound. I saw the door handle jiggle and I closed my eyes.
This is it, I thought. Derek’s going to figure out I f****d his brother, thinking it was him, and it’ll get back to mom and Aaron and he’ll dump her and my mom’s life will be ruin
