"Wait.. so why did he break into our apartment?" Jace asked as we were standing in our living room. I was looking around the place as we weren't even close to being done cleaning.

Shaking my head, I really couldn't understand it either. It didn't make any sense, but then again nothing ever makes sense anymore here.

"He's a dumbass."

Jace snorted. "I already got that." He looks around before looking back at me. "Does it have anything to do with her?"

"Why would it? They never dated. They only hooked up."

"Maybe because you're seeing each other? And what you explained to me, about him wanting his daughter. Maybe this is revenge for that?" He looks at me. "I have no idea, Micah."

I sigh as I rub my temples. "I don't either." I groan.

This whole situation was driving me fucking crazy. I've already been through so much shit. I really didn't need this.

"You went to her house after you went to see Kody?" Jace asks.

I look over at him then nod. "Yeah."

"I figured." He shrugs.

"How?"

He looks at me before walking towards me and touching my neck. "You have hickies on your neck. Not very discreet." He walks out of the living room and into the kitchen.

I follow behind him then lean over the counter as he opens the fridge and grabs a water bottle. Once he opens it and turns out, I look at him. "I need to find Daniel and end this shit."

"Wait," He says after he closes the cap on the bottle. "why put yourself into this situation?" I stare at him for a moment, not knowing what he meant. "Maybe you shouldn't keep getting involved with this woman. That would solve all your answers."

Looking at him, I really couldn't understand why he said that. But then again, he had a good point.

I shook my head. "I'm not going to just walk away from this. Plus, he won't leave her alone if I left."

"Not your problem anymore."

"You're really talking stupid right now." I sigh. "I can't leave her."

He looks at me. "You really wanna stay with this woman? Wow. I never thought I'd see the day where Micah Brooks actually stays with someone and not just for sex." He chuckles. "Wait, have ya'll already fucked?"

I stared at him for a moment before pointing at my neck. "What do you think?"

He shrugs then takes a sip of his water. After he sets it down, he looks at me. "Ok, so what's the plan?"

Staring at the counter, I had so many running through my mind at the moment. I glanced over at the clock and noticed that it was only a little after five in the afternoon, so I had plenty of time to do shit.

"I'm gonna track him down then threaten him." I shrug as I watched him stare at me in complete disbelief.

"Yeah.. that's not a good plan, Micah."

I made a gesture with my hands as I looked at him. "Why not? He broke into our apartment twice and destroyed the place. So, what's the harm of threatening him?" I watched as he sighs, but before he could speak, I continued. "The cops aren't doing shit, so I'll do shit."

He shakes his head before leaning on the counter and looking down. "I don't know, Micah. I have a bad feeling."

"Yeah, me too. But I'm not letting that stop me."
