I can’t imagine feeling safe here with Landon under the same roof.
I also don’t want his dad to make him leave. Maybe he’d deserve it, but it doesn’t feel right.
I don’t know how any of us will get what we want out of this.
Mom’s smile steals my attention. I watch Hayden grab her hand and bring it to his lips to kiss it. They look so in love, and then he says, “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
My heart contracts.
I know my mom better than he does, and I know that even if she wants that more than anything in the world, if she knew how Landon just acted toward me in the house, there’s no way it would ever happen.
No way it will ever happen.
She’d never ask me to live here if she knew how much it would cost me, but I can’t let her give up her happily ever after just because Landon’s a jerk.
He might not care if they’re happy, but I do.
Unfortunately, he knows that now.
I just told him.
Shit.
Sighing softly so Mom doesn’t hear, I lean my head back against the seat.
I may not know how we’ll all manage to live together, but I know one thing for sure.
Senior year is going to suck.
