Chapter 109 Healing

• Alissia POV
• It’s been a full month since I got back home, and I can finally move around with almost no pain. My days have been split between diving into my writing and hanging out with Jenni. Oddly enough, Demitri suggested that Jenni could stay here for a while, apparently to make sure Jake—or any other lingering threat—wasn’t coming back. Not that she’s really “moved in” here. Most nights, she ends up at Axel’s place down the hall.
• I’m convinced that her spending most of her time with Axel has more to do with some kind of unspoken deal between Demitri, Blake, and Lucas. In those first few days, I did nothing but sit with Jenni, ignoring my writing and barely interacting with the guys. Whether or not it’s true, I can’t shake the suspicion that they gave her a bit of a time limit on visiting me. True or not, it worked. I threw myself into my writing, cranking out chapters faster than I ever have in my life. I’m almost scared to go back and read through it all—who knows what kind of emotional mess I poured into those pages? At some points in the story it was like reliving everything even though I changed so many details.
