Harlow
Three months later . . .
Only nine months. Just nine months. I could make it nine
months. I would hide in my room and only come out when she
wasn’t here. Classes would start soon and I would have my
courses to distract me. Then Dad would be home and I’d leave
this place behind me. I could do it. I had to. Dad hadn’t given
me any other option.
The house was quiet. The loud sounds of Nan having sex
with some idiot had woken me up around two this morning. I
had put on my Beats and cranked up my favorite playlist. At
some point I had fallen back to sleep. Because the music had
been pumping in my ears when I woke up this morning, I
wasn’t sure if I was home alone or not. It was after ten and the
house was so quiet, I was pretty sure no one was here. Besides,
Nan didn’t seem like the kind to have a sleepover this late.
She screwed them then tossed them.
I threw back the covers and ran my hands through my hair
to tame the tangles before stepping into the hallway. Silence
was all that met my ears. I was safe. I could eat. Nan hadn’t
been here when I arrived last night, but I knew she must have
noticed my car outside. Dad had an Audi waiting on me when
I had landed at the airport.
After finding the house, I had gone to buy some groceries,
then unloaded my food and luggage. Dad had bought this
house for Nan with the understanding that I would stay with
her for nine months while he was on tour with Slacker Demon.
She wanted a house in Rosemary Beach, Florida. He had
supplied a big one. Dad did everything big. Which was good
for me. I could hide from her more easily. Unfortunately, there
was only one kitchen.
I walked down the hallway and headed down the winding
staircase, which spiraled past the top two floors before ending
at the bottom floor. My bare feet made very little noise as I
walked across the hardwood planks. I had just opened the
fridge to get my organic milk when a door opened and closed
somewhere in the house.
I froze and considered shoving the milk back in the fridge
and hiding. I wasn’t ready to face Nan yet. I needed coffee
before I dealt with her. The heavy footsteps on the stairs
weren’t Nan’s. Which made me even more nervous. Facing
some strange man wasn’t appealing, either. I wasn’t dressed. I
still had on my pajamas. Pink satin polka-dotted shorts and a
matching tank top were all I had on. I glanced around for a
hiding place, but before I could figure out what to do the
footsteps landed on the bottom floor.
I was stuck . . . unless I hid behind the counter while he
escaped. Maybe he wouldn’t come this way. The front door
was past the kitchen, but the back door was just as close to the
stairs. I set my milk carton on the copper countertop and
waited. The footsteps weren’t heavy anymore. I barely heard
them. Straining my ears, I tried to figure out where they were
going.
