fuckin’ hotels now.”
    She blanched, her once red cheeks turned ghostly white. “Right, one room and how long will you both be staying?”
    “Don’t know,” Caden answered. I stepped back, glad he was the one to answer because I would have said something else she wouldn’t like.
    “It’s one hundred and thirty a night.” She smirked. The bitch changed her ‘tude and looked at us from head to toe, probably thinkin’ we wouldn’t be able to afford it.
    “That’s fine.” Pick sighed.
    “Great.” She turned to get a paper that just printed out and in that time, Caden looked over his shoulder at me. I glared. “Just sign here,” the woman said. Pick did. “Thank you, you’ll be in room 209 and I hope you enjoy your stay,” she said only to Caden.
    In silence, we went out to our bikes, parked them under the hotel in their car park and took the lift to the fourth floor.
    Once in the room, that held a small kitchenette and lounge, the room off to the side which no doubt held the bathroom in with it, I said, “I’ll take the couch.”
    “Fine.” His short reply pissed me off and when he walked off to the bedroom saying nothing else, I found myself furious.
    Yeah. The month was gonna be fuckin’ hell.

Chapter Four
    J osie
    My heart was in my throat. It was how I woke nearly every morning, with a sweaty, trembling body and my heart fighting its way out of my chest. Night terrors weren’t a blast. They were exhausting and terrifying. I had hoped over the last four years, since I was saved from David, the night terrors would eventually fade. They hadn’t.
    What helped them stay, my guess, was because I was weak.
    It was also the fact that my life was upside down once again.
    “Josie, time to get your cute butt moving,” Simone yelled from the hall. She would be walking past so she could get to the bathroom first, which was why I started taking showers at night; she took too long in the bathroom, making us both late.
    Even though I had just woken with fright filling my veins, I smiled.
    I smiled because Simone could do that to a person. That smile may not reach my eyes, but it helped me get out of bed each morning. It also helped me continue on each day to reach the goals I wanted to.
    Climbing out of bed, I donned a pair of jeans and a flannel shirt. It was big, but warm on the colder days in winter times. Packing my bag, my mind drifted to my family in Ballarat. I wondered what they were all doing. Would Zara already be up with her twins who were turning three in a couple of months? Would Julian and Mattie’s plans for their wedding be all organised?
    My thoughts even glided to Deanna, or Hell Mouth as most called her. It was only just over a year ago she had her baby boy, Nicholas. Zara had emailed me a video recorded by Dodge. I’d lost count of the amount of times I’d watched it. Still, every time had me laughing and smiling and then wishing I was home.
    “Are you recording?” Zara asked, smiling into the camera.
    “Is the fuckin’ light flashing red, Wildcat?” Dodge growled.
    “Yes.”
    “Then it’s recording.”
    “Awesome.” Zara smiled and started walking down a hall. “Hey, Josie, I wish you were here today. We miss you so much. However, seems you’re working hard studying, I thought I’d share this special day with you this way.” She stopped, faced the camera, and clapped with glee. “Guess what, Deanna is having her baby right now.” She turned and then rounded the corner. The camera adjusted to zoom in on Deanna standing at the bar, one hand supporting herself on the wooden top while her body bent forward as she breathed hard.
    Her head turned toward the camera, her eyes widening. “What in the fuck are you doing?”
    “I’ve got Dodge to film it for Josie,” Zara said.
    “Are you fucking high?” Deanna bellowed and then all thoughts flew from her mind when a contraction started. She moaned in pain. Griz stepped up behind her to rub her back.
    “We need to get to
