Dawn by McKayla Box
Chapter 27
Trevor texts me later in the afternoon.
Hey. Brett and I are working again tonight. I told you I’d tell you so I’m telling you.
Ugh. Why so soon?
Don’t know. Just do what we have to do.
How many more of these?
I don’t know.
5? 10? 100?
Less than 100. We’ll be fine. Trust me.
It’s not you I don’t trust.
What does that mean?
I don’t trust whoever it is that you’re doing this for.
We’ll be fine.
You said that already.
And have I been wrong?
Not yet.
I won’t be wrong. Relax. We’ve got it.
I can’t relax.
Should I come over after?
I think hard before I answer him.
No. Not tonight.
Are you seriously pissed?
No, it’s not that. But my dad asked if I was up last night, so I think he heard something.
Shit. Was he mad?
I didn’t tell him. So I just want to be careful.
Okay.
But you’ll text me?
The second we’re done. I promise.
I’ll wait up.
You don’t have to.
I want to.
I promise. The second we’re done.
I hate this. I really hate this.
Be done soon. I love you.
Love you too.
I drop my phone on my bed. I hate lying to him about my dad and hearing us. But I know that the girls and I are going to try and get a better feel for what he and Brett are doing tonight and if things get weird, I don’t want him showing up at my house in the middle of the night, wondering where I am.
And I’m also hoping he won’t get pissed when he finds out I’m not just sitting at home waiting to hear from him.
