I come out of my room, freshly showered and feeling a bit better.
Luckily, 3 had brought me food by the time I got back to my room. My Golden-Eyed Boy—so thoughtful. He left afterward, knowing instinctually I needed some time alone.
“Phoenyxx?”
The deep male voice makes me jump a little and I turn to see Jax standing there.
“Yeah?” I ask.
“I’ve spoken to your father. He confirmed they live in Collings Lakes, as you were told. I already spoke with Harris,” Jax begins. “I've had feelers out for a while now and obtained his phone number. He wants to meet you—in person. As does your mother.”
I feel myself go weak, and I lean a hand against the wall to support my weight. My parents? Both alive, and… wanting to meet me?
Tears streak my face, my bottom lip wobbling. I can’t even speak I’m so overwhelmed with emotion.
“Let’s go find your guys, okay?” Jax says gently, taking my arm to help me down the hall.
Hunter sees us and hurries over. “Jax? What happened?” He takes me into his arms, shushing me with kisses to my head.
Jax relays the message, and Hunter nods. “Pretty Girl? Do you want to meet them?”
I compose myself the best I can. “Yes, but not alone. I want my guys.”
“Of course, beautiful. Who do you want with you?”
I go to open my mouth, then close it again. Truthfully, I want everyone. All eight of my guys, and Valley, Bryan—maybe even Cynthia.
Hunter seems to read my mind. “Not everyone, okay? We don’t want to overwhelm them.”
I chew my lip, thinking. “You, Valley, Ghost, and Frost. Please.”
“What about me? I feel strangely left out right now. Yes, I was listening,” Razor’s voice says, his mass of crazy red curls popping into view. He really is striking. He's also right. I've neglected him.
“Yes, you, too. I'm sorry, Razor. I love you,” I say timidly, my emotions threatening to burst at the seams.
“That’s fine,” Jax responds. “They want you to come to their home. Perhaps it will bring some memories back for you. We will have security surrounding you. Your safety will be secure.”
I lick my suddenly dry lips. “Okay. When?”
“Gather who you want to come along, and let’s meet back here in thirty minutes?” Jax suggests.
I nod, looking at Hunter and Razor. “Can you get Ghost and Frost? I'll track down Valley.”
“Anything for you, Fiasca,” Razor agrees.
I hug them both, going to look for my bestie.
I’m scared and excited at the same time.
My... family.
Wow.
