FREDA WHITLOCK
“Dad’s ce?” Lyra softly asked from where she was, ncing in the rearview mirror. I shook my
head and she nodded in
response.

“Are you okay?” Lyra asked, walking into my room without knocking. I looked up at her from the
novel I had been reading. Well, trying to read. I had been reading the same line for the past thirty
minutes and whether I was willing to admit it or not, it was driving me crazy. I was thankful for her
coming in, whether I chose to admit it or not.
“Yeah,” I said in response to her question. I watched her climb into the bed beside me and pull the
covers over herself.
Wey together silently before I tucked myself into her side. Iid my head on top of her chest and
let out a small sigh. “Francisco…” I said softly.
“He’s asleep.” She responded and I nodded. I had gone to bed as soon as I got home and I had
woken up an hour before. It was already dinner time by the time I woke up, but I did not have the
appetite to eat or do anything. I attempted reading and that had only frustrated me more.
“Freda, I can exin Lyra whispered and I let out a sigh. “You don’t have to exin anything to me,

never actually do anything like she imed, “I said, taking a pause. “Besides, I have nothing to do
with him. I thought I already made that clear to–”
She cut me off.
“You need to cut the c**p, Freda. I know you have feelings for him. You always have, even though
you tried to hide them,” she said, looking down at me. “You probably will never admit those feelingsCcontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
for him, but whatever she said will keep bugging and hurting you. I have to exin,” she said and I
said nothing.
“After you left the party with Cole yesterday, he was really upset. So much that he hurt himself
without even knowing. I crushed a soda can in his hand and it cut him. I felt horrible for him because
I knew he was feeling the same thing you are. You both are going through hell. I took him to the
bathroom and helped him clean up,” she said and I listened attentively.
I did not know how much I needed this exnation until she started making it. “He was explosive,
and most of the time, he was a d**k, as usual,” she said,d, and I knew she was rolling her eyes,
which made meugh.
“He was hurting. I know he’s sorry for all he has done. He may have said it himself but I was not
listening to him. I was lost in my thoughts,” she said and I nodded.
“Ished out at him when heshed out at me. He calmed down immediately and went back to
being a sad d***k,” she said and paused. We both giggled.
“He asked if you love Cole,” she said and my heart stopped and started at High speed in my chest.
Why was he asking that? What was his motive behind asking that? What exactly…

“What did you tell him?” I asked, taking a deep breath and asking the next question that came into
my mind. “Nothing. I told him nothing. I left as soon as I saw your text,” she said and we both went
silent.
“Oh, and I left my handkerchief with him,” she said, and I smiled. “Yeah, he asked me to give it to
you,” I told her, and she pulled away from me to look at my face. “He did?” She asked with a raised
eyebrow and surprise on her face. “Yep,” I said.
“Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you ask me anything?” She asked with confusion and
surprise on her face. “I trust you, Lyra. Letting Kaidene in between Safiya and me was a big
mistake. I’m not going to make that mistake again,” I said, shaking my head and kissing her cheek.
She smiled and her face went red. “Are you blushing?” I teased. “Macho Lyra is blushing?” I took
my fingers to her ribs and she pushed me off with augh. “Get off me!” Sheughed.
I rolled away from her and looked at her with a smile. “I love you. And I’m not going to let anything
or anyonee in between us, okay?” I told her and she smiled as she nodded. “I love you too,”
she responded affectionately.
“Now what are you going to do about Kaiden?” She asked with a teasing smirk on her face. “Oh
shut up. I’m more worried about Safiya,” I shook my head at her. “That’s right. F**ng Safiya. I
wonder how she heard that I was with Kaiden,” she said, shaking her head.
