The Space in Between

Chaptet Twenty-Nine

Harlow Cole

I rubbed my hands through my hair before tossing the covers off my body. I got out of bed and made my way to the banging door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Harlow it's me, open the door." Kat said.

I sighed, she's been coming here for the past week. I sighed and opened the door causing her too wince.

"Jesus you look like shit." She said coming inside.

I huffed and closed the door.

"Thank you." I said sarcastically.

"I know you're still upset with the Jay situation but baby, it's been a week." She said.

"I don't even know where he and I stand, he hasn't reached out." I said.

"Really? Fuck him then." She said.

I laughed and shook my head.

"Yeah." I mumbled twisting my engagement ring around.

Kat looked at me and sighed.

"I'm sure he'll come to his senses." She said.

I nodded before I felt my phone vibrate. I grabbed it before unlocking it, seeing I had a text from an unknown number.

???: I know who your father is, meet me at this location for more information.

I felt my heart come to a stop before grabbing my chest. Kat looked at me weirdly before walking towards me.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Can you take me somewhere?" I asked.

She looked at me and slowly nodded.

"But first tell me what's going on." She said.

"I'm going to find out who my father is." I said showing her my phone.

"I don't know Harlow, this seems fishy. Maybe we should get Jay involved." She said.

"Are you going to take me or not?" I asked with a bored expression.

"Fine but if shit gets weird I have my man on speed the fuck dial." She said.

"Thank you." I sighed.

We walked out of my apartment before getting into her car. The drive was long, by the time we made it was dark.

"Harlow you sure you don't want me to-"

I looked at her causing her to be quiet before we exited the car. I heard her mumbling something under her breath as she dug into her purse.

"What are you rambling about Kat?" I asked.

"I said good thing Min-Suk bought me a gun." She said.

My eyes widen.

"A gun? Kathleen." I said.

"Hey, it's crazy people out here." She shrugged.

True, I shook my head as she we continued walking into the home. I knocked on the door and patiently waited.

"Who is it?"

Kat and I looked at one another.

"Umm Harlow." I said.

I heard the door unlock before it opened revealing a young man. Probably mid 20s, he looked at me up and down before checking his surroundings.

"Come in." He said stepping aside.
