“So does that explain why we butt heads?”
“Maybe.”
I shove him, but not without my own smile. Something's different between us this morning. “Why didn't you tell me?”
“I didn't want to shove more responsibility on you.”
“Come on, Cayden. You know I would have taken it.” Now I know why Everly pressured me to talk to Cayden. But what he says feels right.
“And that's what scared me.”
“Look, we're in this together,” I say, intertwining my hand with his. Cayden's strong, warm, and most of all, still conflicted. He scuffs his shoes against the pavement. The pain still exists and while we might have put a bandage on his wounds for now, anything could tear it off and make his pain fester again.
And perhaps, mine.
He lifts his gaze from the street. “Okay. Together.”
“I mean it, Cayden,” I say, planting a kiss on his lips.
With no one between us, Cayden and I make out on the street like we can save each other.
“Okay,” I say when we come up for breath. “We make up this story together. I do one line, and then you do the next, and we'll make it a game. When we saw Matt convulsing, we both froze in horror.”
We walk again. “You thought about doing CPR on him.”
“And I vomited at the thought.”
“So we both ran to the bathroom to wash off.”
“And as we were in the hall, we heard growling.”
“Neither of us know what happened.” Cayden pinches my arm.
“Not at all,” I say. The story needs work, but we have time. This morning, Breck is safe.
The two of us keep a tight grip on each other as we near the school and the storm that waits.
