eyes, I can't seem
    to get back there. Please just remember
    that I really care about you.”
    I notice the call end just as she
    finishes.

    Please just remember that I
    really care about you.

    She has a shitty way of showing it.

    I look out the window and see that
    we’re still traveling through the desert. I
    spend the rest of the ride going over my
    conversation with Ivy. I let my mind
    replay most of our memories that we
    have made over the past few months. I
    just can't shake this feeling that I'm
    missing something. We might have had a
    struggle to connect in the beginning, but
    we definitely got over that in the past
    couple of weeks.
    I decide to call her back, but it
    goes straight to voice mail.

    Ivy
    Eaven is hell bent on getting to the
    bottom of what is going on. I need to tell
    her, but I can't let Taron know. He will
    leave the tour and come home if he finds
    out. I'm pretty sure he would kill Dylan
    if given the chance. Hell he would kill
    Aiden if I didn’t keep him from it.
    He deserves to be sheltered from
    my distractions. I want him to focus on
    the tour and help Rebel Walking become
    as successful as we know they can be.
    He can't do that if he feels like he needs
    to protect me.
    “Get in here and spill it.” Eaven
    meets me at the door. She stops cold
    once she looks at my face. Her fingers
    brush over my bruised cheek.
    “You are scaring me. Please talk
    to me.” She wraps her arms around me
    and squeezes tight. Her hold builds up
    strength in me. I stand there and let her
    build me up enough to get through this. I
    don’t hug her back and I know that
    screams the severity of my situation to
    her.
    I start to breakdown and she leads
    me to Taron's couch. In Taron's house. I
    feel him everywhere. I have to use that
    to get me through this conversation.
    “Dylan tried to rape me last
    night.” She puts both hands over her
    mouth and tears begin to run down her
    face. I knew she would feel my hurt as
    deeply as I do.
    “Where? When? How? I thought
    you left with Taron.” I swallow past the
    lump in my throat to tell her.
    “In my room after Taron left.”
    “Oh My God. Taron came here
    for his bags to go back to you. Was it
    then?” It all clicks into place at this
    moment. He was coming back to wake
    up with me. He must have seen me with
    Aiden after Dylan left the apartment.
    “Yes I woke up to Dylan sitting in
    that black chair in the corner of my
    room. I was naked and he….” I stop
    talking because the urge to vomit over
    takes me. She doesn’t push for details. I
    finally compose myself and swallow
    down the urge to throw up. This is
    progress.
    “Aiden busted down the door to
    save me, but Dylan got away when he
    was checking on me.”
    “How did Aiden know?”
    “He saw Dylan's car in our
    parking lot. I managed to scream when
    Aiden knocked.” She doesn’t wait to
    wrap me in her arms again.

    “I should've been there.”
    “I'm glad you weren't.”
    “Please tell me that you went to
    the police.”
    “Yes, Aiden took me.”
    “Where did you stay last night?”
    “I stayed at Aiden's. He let me
    sleep on the bed and he never left my
    side. He slept next to me on the floor all
    night long.”
    “You should have called me.” I
    notice how upset the look on her face is.
    I guess I should have called her.
    “I honestly didn't want to talk
    about it. I still don’t. I can't tell anyone
    else about this.”
    “Did you tell Taron?”
    “No, and I'm not going to.”
    “What? You have to.”
    “No, Ev. He will leave the tour
    and ruin everything for the entire band. I
    can take care of this.”
    “Where are we going to stay?”
    “I am thinking you could stay here
    at Talon's and I will see if Aiden will let
    me stay there for awhile.”
    “You will stay here too. Just take
    Taron's room. I will tell Talon tonight.”
    “I don’t want him to know.”
    “Ivy, I can't keep secrets from
    him. He will want to get security for
    us.”
    “I'm not asking you to
