                  I didn’t know what was in store for the future, but I didn’t want to be anywhere else except in his arms. But then my gut kicked and I knew this temporary shelter would be ripped away once more.
    Jesse was always ripped away from me.
     
     
    CHAPTER FOUR
     
                  When we woke up, it was the afternoon. Normally we would be intimate the night before and go our separate ways the next day, but this time we went backwards. I woke up when Jesse nudged me onto my back and then moved above me. When my eyes opened, I knew what was happening and I wanted it. As his lips touched my neck, I wound my legs around his. Soon we were both groaning.
                  An hour later, after we were done and Jesse had collapsed on top of me, he groaned and got up. He padded barefoot into his bathroom. His shower turned on and I took that as my cue. Instead of my dress, I nabbed one of his larger shirts and shorts. I knew they weren’t Ethan’s so I knew Jesse wouldn’t care. As soon as I was dressed, I hurried out of there.
                  When I got home, I had an hour to shower and get to my shift at the mall. The house was empty as I rushed upstairs, but I was used to it. It seemed that my dad lived at his offices and my mother was usually in bed at all hours of the day. It wasn’t until I pulled into the mall’s parking lot that I realized I hadn’t heard the television in my parents’ bedroom. Mom always fell asleep to the news. For some reason, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, but I tried to shake the uneasy feeling. I’m sure my mother was okay. She was always okay, distant but okay.
                  Ben arrived at the coffee hut at the same time as me. It didn’t take long for the other two girls to leave and we got comfortable. It was a weekend night; we wouldn’t have that much business. And after an hour when we hadn’t had one customer, the sight of Angie and Marissa had me feeling giddy. Ben stopped in the middle of his story, but I was okay with that. I couldn’t hear much more about his dog, Mickey, who liked to hump other dogs and was the happiest English Cocker Spaniel there was in the world.
                  “Hey, guys!”
                  Both shared a look at my bright smile.
                  “What?” I rolled my eyes. “You guys want coffee?”
                  “No.” Angie snorted. “We’re just at the coffee hut to smell the merchandise, not actually to buy it.”
                  Marissa grinned and tightened her hold on the bags in her hands.
                  “Where’d you guys go?” I tried to count the bags, but there were too many. I wasn’t surprised. Marissa was the shopper in the group.
                  She shrugged and flipped her black hair over her shoulder. “Just some stores. I got a sexy outfit for school. You need to go with me next week. I’ve seen your wardrobe. You need something sexy for the first day.”
                  Angie narrowed her eyes. “Where were you last night? Justin had people over, but neither of us could get a hold of you all night.”
                  Ben sucked in his breath beside me. He started to hum from his excitement.
                  I shrugged. “I stayed home. I didn’t feel like going out.”
                  “But you couldn’t tell me that? I texted you a million times.”
                  Marissa arched her eyebrows and looked at Angie in surprise. She bit her lip as a frown formed.
                  “I know. I’m sorry. I’ve been out of sorts.”
                  “You’ve been out of sorts for a long time,” Angie snapped and crossed her arms. “What’s going on with you?”
                  “Hey—” Marissa opened her
