I was about to protest that I couldn’t just leave with him without others being suspicious. But before I could utter a single word, there was a knock on the door. My entire body tensed, and I felt my cheeks burning hot. Gavin didn’t seem to be as worried because he backed away from me and then he winked. It made my checks burn even more and I wanted to jump in front of him to keep him from opening that door, but it was too late.

He swung open the door, and my mother stood on the other side with wide eyes. She stared up at Gavin, her body trembling before her eyes found mine.

“Judy, sweetie,” she breathed as she brushed past Gavin and entered the bathroom. “Are you okay? What happened to you?”

“It’s okay,” I rushed out, not wanting her to worry. ” okay. Gavin patched me up. I’m good as new.” I showed her my hand and she cradled it gently, tears filling her eyes. I knew my mother was aware of what was going on with me, but she was pretending that everything was okay, acting as if she wasn’t seeing or hearing things through the grapevines. I couldn’t blame her; she was only doing all of this for my father. She wanted him out of prison desperately and she would do anything to make that happen.

At one point, I would have done the same thing for Ethan.

“I’m so sorry,” she whispered.

“It’s honestly okay, Mom,” I reassured her. “It was only an accident. It happens.”

I hated lying to her, but I didn’t know what else to say to make her feel better. Gavin’s eyes darkened because he knew it was a lie; he saw what had happened and he was furious on my behalf. I gave him a slight head shake as my mother threw her arms around me to hug me; I didn’t want him to reveal my lie.
