I meet him at the right time. Or a completely wrong one, depending on the perspective you look from.
I am not the one to fall head over heels in love with someone and he is not the guy someone should even fall in love with.
But there are all the wit...

I put a blanket over Kadie's body that I find in Cruz's car that's already waiting for us. She sits in the passenger seat and I get behind the wheel. My jaw is starting to hurt from gritting my teeth together so hard.
I look at Kadie, but she's just staring forward. I start the car and drive the hell away from this place. Neither of us speaks and the silence in the car is making me uneasy because I'm not used to it when it comes to her.
"You're very quiet," I say as a simple observation.
I see Kadie puts the blanket around her even tighter. "Is this your car?" she asks.
"No, it's Cruz's."
She nods and falls silent again.
"I'm sorry," I say softly. I'm worried that this is our breaking point and we have nowhere to go from here.
"For?" Kadie asks. Her tone is clipped.
"For everything they did to you."
"You didn't do anything you have to be sorry about."
"This is all my fault," I say, gripping the steering wheel tighter. If it wasn't for me, Kadie wouldn't go through what she went through. And I'm not sure if I want to know what they did to her.
"Stop," she says. "You didn't kidnap me. You didn't tie me to the bed and beat me. You didn't do any of this. I don't want to hear you apologize for this because it's not you that has to apologize for anything."
Her voice is harsh and leaves no room for contradicting. It's weird how she's still so feisty and strong. I know many would cry if they were in her position. But not her. She's still spitting fire, although I know she's hurt. I saw the bruises.
