Chapter 84 The Most Important Thing in a Relationship is Trust

When I saw those two pics pop up in the message, I totally lost it.

The first one showed Lacey helping Ethan into a hotel, and the second one had them going into a room together.

Ethan looked wasted in the photos. When he's that drunk, anything could go down. If something did happen, it was game over. My worst nightmare was coming true. Right then, it felt like a sharp knife was cutting into my heart.

"What's up?" Jason must've seen my face and asked.

"Nothing." My voice was barely there, and I probably looked like a mess.

A bit later, another text came in from a different number.

It had the hotel's name and room number.

Without thinking, I grabbed my phone and bolted, not even changing my clothes.

"Emily, where you headed?" Jason called after me.

I didn't answer and ran into the rain.

Lightning lit up the sky, and thunder boomed like it was gonna tear the world apart. But I wasn't scared. I was more freaked out that things were already too far gone. Soon, a car pulled up next to me, and the window rolled down. Jason shouted, "Emily, get in!"

I didn't think twice, opened the door, and jumped in.

"Where to?" Jason asked.

I told him the hotel's name, and we sped through the storm.

Rain pounded on the car, making a racket like it could destroy everything.

I was soaked but didn't feel cold. The pain in my chest was all too real. Maybe there were already cracks between Ethan and me.
