Chapter 38: Talking Makes It More Confusing

Blythe’s POV.

Well, I didn’t tell Isla everything. She asked a lot of questions, and I gave very vague answers. Until she

started pressing me about my husband and why I was running from him. Apparently, everyone knows about

my husband, but it doesn’t seem like everyone knows about what Daniel put me through.

And they all apparently came to the conclusion that I was running from my husband. Which, technically,

wasn’t wrong. I was running from him, from Daniel, from Silent Divine, and the club. I was running because

running was the only way to get my freedom. At least, as free as I could get.

Eventually, Isla gave up. The way her eyes kept flickering to Karma made me feel like she thought I just didn’t

want to talk in front of him. Her words to catch up later held a promise that she would be asking me again. In

private. She was going to be disappointed when I gave her the same answers then.

I love Isla, and after tonight, I really don’t think she knows about the abuse I went through. Still, she’s Karma’s

mother. I have to remember that. I have to remember that none of these people fought for me when Daniel

decided he wanted to take me. None of them even checked on me when I was gone.

Outta sight, outta mind, I guess.

I tried not to dwell too much on all the negative feelings, but I couldn’t forget. I had to keep it in my mind just

enough to remember that I’m not safe here. I’m not safe anywhere. They all proved that to me.

“So, now that it’s just the two of us,” Isla said once we were in the kitchen making lunch. “Do you want to tell

me why you ran away from your husband?”

“He was a bad person,” I muttered. That was more of an answer than I gave in front of Karma. That’s all Isla is going to get out of me though.

“What did he do to you, Blythe?” She asked quietly.

I didn’t look at her or respond.

“Did he hit you?” She pushed. “Force you into something?”

The irony.

Actually, Sean was the only one of my abusers who never “forced” anything on me. Not really. Did he hit me?

Yes. Did he force anything on me? No.

He just tricked me instead. Tricked me into thinking I was being saved. Tricked me into thinking he loved me,

cared for me.

Sean knew I was willing to do anything to get out of Silent Divine. Of course, he did. He used my desperation to get out of that place as a tool to get what he wanted from me. Sean was the type that liked his women eager and desperate, not afraid and struggling. He got what he wanted with me.

Almost anyway.

“Why won’t you talk about it with me?” Isla kept on when I didn’t reply. “Are you waiting to tell your mom first?”

That made me scoff.

“Like she would care,” I muttered under my breath.

“Bly… of course she would, she’s your mother,” Isla replied softly.

Tears threatened to fill my eyes and I clutched the knife in my hand, my anger rising rapidly.

“Then why would she let that man take me without a fight?” I snapped in a low voice.

“Blythe, honey, you don’t know everything-”

I scoffed again, interrupting her before going back to chopping vegetables for a salad.

“Maybe you’re the one that doesn’t know everything, Isla,” I mumbled.

“I’m trying to though,” she replied softly. “You won’t let me in.”

Again, I didn’t reply. Isla blew out a breath, probably frustrated with me. Tears brimmed my eyes as I wondered if she would push me away now too. Maybe Isla will grow tired of my new attitude and hate me.

Just like everyone else. Maybe then they’ll all stop pretending that I belong here.

“Will you at least tell me why you never came back here?” Isla asked. “I mean, I know your dad had money,

and he spoiled you, and you didn’t really even care about what was going on here, but that was a long time

ago. You were just a kid back then. Most of us understood. You were just a kid who finally had money and

more friends than ever. We understood that you wanted to hang out with your new friends and fit in. But you’d

really rather run in fear than come back to us? You know we could have protected you here.”

I stopped chopping and looked at Isla for the first time. I wasn’t sure what to make of everything she said.

What is she even talking about? Money? Friends? They understood? Protect me?

“Did my mom tell you that?” I asked, starting to feel angry all over again. Did they really tell everyone that I

was living some lavish, spoiled life? They all think that I was having the time of my life without a care in the

world? Clearly, they don’t know that I did come back. And I was thrown right back into the pits of hell by the very people claiming that they would have protected me.

“Well, honey, sometimes we were around for the phone calls with your dad-”

“Stop calling him that!” I snapped, slamming my fists on the counter. I clenched my jaw and looked away. I dropped the knife and gripped the counter as I took a few deep breaths. I shouldn’t have lost it like that. It’s going to look suspicious now. “I don’t know what phone calls you heard, but somebody is lying to you, Isla.” I stated, calmer, but still angry. “I would appreciate it if we could just not talk about any of this anymore.”

“Bly…” Isla said softly, but I ignored her.

After a moment, Isla finally dropped it. She was silent for a while before she started chatting all about their family back in Scotland. I finally started to relax a little and even smiled as I listened to her. I used to know all of their family members, and trust me, there’s a lot. It’s kind of crazy to hear how some of them are married with kids now.

“And Bonnie, bless her little heart,” Isla said as we brought lunch out to the guys. “She’s really killing it over there.”

“I’m so happy for her,” I replied with an honest smile.

“I wish that she would have stayed around more,” Isla said, pouting. “You two would have been such good,

friends.”

I wonder if that would have been true. I know that Everly is the reason that Bonnie never wanted to come

back. Everly told me that herself. I wonder if Bonnie had been here, would we have been a team? Would

things have turned out differently?

“She’s coming to visit in a few weeks,” Isla told me. “She’ll be here for a full month. Maybe we can all go out

together.”

I smiled at her.

“T’d like that,” I replied. If I’m still here, that is. I learned a long time ago to take things one day at a time. Things can change in an instant.

It can take years to build a wall, and seconds to demolish it.

It was dark outside when the doorbell rang. We all went quiet, and I expected someone to get up to see who it was. Before that could even happen, we heard the front door open and shut.

“Yo!” called out a familiar voice.

A second later, CG came around the corner, standing in the doorway of the living room. His eyes found me immediately and a huge smile broke out on his face. I eyed him warily as he started making his way over to

1. Then he leaned down, as if this were all normal. I leaned back, kind of freaked out, but then CG just kissed the top of my head and stood back up.

“Missed you all day,” he mumbled to me.

I looked at him like he’d grown an extra head.

“Are you high or something?” I blurted.

CG laughed.

“Nah, just happy as hell that I don’t have to ignore you anymore,” he replied. Then he winked at me and turned to face everyone else. CG hugged and welcomed Isla home. Then he had a few words with Blaze before

finally bumping fists with Karma. “Dude, what the hell happened to your head?” He asked when he noticed

Karma’s injury.

Everyone in the room looked at me. Isla and Blaze look all too happy. Karma was giving me a look that I really didn’t understand. Then CG slowly turned his head to look at me, raising a brow.

Wait, when the hell did he get his eyebrow pierced? That wasn’t there this morning, was it?
