Chapter 39
Once we got to the building, Blake drove into the underground car park. We drove past Taylor’s one and her parents cat wasn’t there anymore fut there w
a different car.
We got out and headed to the lift. Once we got to the 10th floor, Blake walked over to the door and opened it.
“Remind me to find you the spare key to th
place. I’ve got it here somewhere” Blake said as walked in and motioned for me to come in.
I looked at Taylor’s apartment door. For the last 6 years I had lived in that apartment with her and today I was standing outside knowing I couldn’t zo hack in. I opened my bag and pulled out my keys. I took off the key to Taylor’s apartment and walked over to knock on her door. Rocky opened the door
“Hey! You guys are back. How was the drive?” Rocky asked me and then looked behind me “if you’re still holding the door open for her then I’m guessing Beth hasn’t scared you away?” He asked Blake and chuckled a little.
“Well I can tell you that fuck she’s scary but no, she hasn’t scared me away” Blake replied.
“I’m glad to hear that” Taylor spoke from inside the apartment. She appeared behind Rocky and leaned on the door frame.
“You wanna come in? Mum and dad have gone” she asked.
“No I’m good thank you. I just wanted to return your key” I held out the key for her and she looked at it.
“Keep it babe. It can be for emergencies”
“Take it please. I don’t want your dad accusing me of stealing something from your house if he finds out I still have a key I didn’t want Mr Callum to have any reason to have any argument with Taylor. She nodded and took the key from my hand.
“Who’s car is parked downstairs ?” I asked. It was none of my business.
“Chris. His here. Dad wanted to make sure that there was no chance for me to bring you back in once they left. So he made Chris move in today.” She wouldn’t look straight at me. Her glassy eyes wandered everywhere.

“Tay, his your father. I don’t want you ruining your relationship with them over me. Please just do as they ask. I’ll be fine.” I reached out and rubbed Taylor’s arm. “Thank you so much for letting me stay with you till now. It’s time I learn to spread my own wings.” I turned around and walked back to Blake’s apartment door. “Have a goodnight” I called over my shoulder and walked in. I heard Blake say goodnight to them as well. He said something else.
but I didn’t hear it.
I walked straight for my bedroom and shut the door. Tears started flowing again and I needed to have a cry. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Without caring about the water temperature, I sat on the shower floor letting the water drench me. Just like a few nights ago, I hugged my knees and just let go of my tears.
I don’t know how long I’d been in there. The water was running cold and I was shivering but I stayed there. My mind was filled with too many things and I couldn’t get rid of them. Memories of what Vince did played in my head and were mixed with memories of my mums clients trying to get their way with me. The flashbacks were painful and somehow the cold water was numbing that pain.
“Rosy you in there?” Blake’s voice came from the door way. I hadn’t closed the bathroom door.
When I didn’t answer, Blake’s head appeared on the edge of the door and his eyes widened when he saw me.
“Rosy what the hell are you doing??” He walked into the bathroom and grabbed a towel. He leaned over me and turned off the water.
“Fuck that’s cold! Are you crazy!?” He said and wrapped the towel around my shoulders and pulled me to my feet. “We need shivering!” His voice was very concerned. My teeth were chattering and my fingers had shrivelled from being under water for t
you warmed up. You’re
