Gracie has rushed over, dropping down to her knees in front of me. Tommy doesn’t give her the space to get close enough though.
“Maya?” He takes my cheeks between his palms. “Talk to me. What just happened?”
“I… I went on a date with someone. The morning of my birthday,” I pant out, my panic attack in full swing.
“That’s okay, don’t worry over that. You didn’t know…”
“No Tommy, you don’t understand!” I shout. “I didn’t know who it was. He said his name was Jack,” I hand over my phone with trembling fingers.
He takes it and begins to read the message as Fallon rubs my back from behind.
“You need to breathe Maymay, slow deep breathes,” She says soothingly.
In the most lethal calmness Tommy turns to me and asks. “Maya, who is Jack?”
I know he knows already. The anger behind his eyes and how tightly he is clenching his jaw proves it.
“Jake. It was Jake.”
