"Perfect all american bitch." -Olivia Rodrigo

The sun woke all of us up and forced us back on the road, this time in Harry's car that he had ordered. We abandoned Xavier's car on the road, Harry hiring a towing service to tow it back to Las Vegas.

We had two hours left in the car which felt like six. When we reached Los Angeles, Willow became our tour guide. She pointed out our spot for the night and Harry was eager to park the car and leave.

A little too eager

As of right now, Xavier and Willow were sharpening knives for the mission later while I picked out of my outfit. I was going to wear a flowy black dress and black heels, that much was planned.

"Where did the love of your life flock off too?" Willow pulled my attention away from my suitcase and to the door.

"Probably to the casino he's planning on opening here." I shrugged.

"He's lying to you. I know it." Willow sat down on the bed. I continued to shuffle through my clothes for items to wear.

"Why do you say that, Willow?" I sighed, playing into her game.

"I've been keeping tabs on you two for the past few years. I don't let no one who tries to kill me get away for good. And H, he's a special person to me." Willow picked up one of my necklaces and looked at it.

"He's treating you too good, Kennedy. Don't ya see it?" Willow set the necklace back and looked at me.

"I don't know." I said, honestly.

"Watch him, very carefully. I don't think it's cheating or anything like that, but I know that man. He's hiding something." Willow warned.

"Why do you care?" I asked.

"Because, I like you. You're strong and level headed. Unlike me." Willow frowned.

"Thanks, Willow." I smiled.

"Plus, he's a player and a deceiver. I've known him way too long to not know him like that." Willow narrowed her eyes.

I suddenly found myself feeling the same way. With everything that happened with us the past two years, it is very strange he flipped a switch and is suddenly mine and mine only.

Is he cheating?

No way.

Probably worse... Natalie

"You know, he made us go to couples therapy." I laughed remembering the aftermath, more fighting.

"You've made him soft, Monroe." Willow chuckled and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Do you remember Natalie?" I asked, wincing at the sound of her name on my lips. Willow straightened and looked me up and down.

"I do. She was fiery. But I could never get a good read on her." Willow sighed.

"She left right after, or before, we took down Sucker's casino. Harry has been driving himself crazy for the past few years trying to find her. And recently, he completely gave up." I sat down beside Willow and collapsed my clothes in a ball on my lap.

"Kennedy." Willow whispered.

"I don't think he can just give up an obsession like that so easily. I wanted him all for myself but I feel like I pushed him away." I collapsed my head and felt tears forming in my eyes.

I haven't told anyone this except my notes app

"Kennedy." Willow said again, placing a hand on my shoulder.
