before I call the cops.” Mr. Spencer pulled out his cellphone from his suit jacket. Most of the art gallery crowd had turned their attention to us.
     
    Lilly put her hand on her father's shoulder. “Please, Daddy. Don't call the cops. He didn't come here to start trouble. Kellan was just about to leave.” She looked at me with those blue eyes that I thought loved me so much. But instead they were filled with embarrassment.
     
    The skinny man dressed like a penguin pointed the security guards in my direction. It was time to go now. I left without saying another word.
     
    Lilly and I were done now. I knew the truth deep in my heart. But I didn't want to admit it. Whatever love she had for me was lost when I went to prison. I'd keep my distance from now on.
 

Chapter Five
     
 

Lilly

I had to say whatever I could to keep my father from calling the cops. I couldn't be the reason for Kellan going back to prison. Getting him out of there as fast as possible was in his best interest. I agreed that we needed to talk further. There was still feelings between us that I couldn't conceal. But now was not the time.
     
    I slept for two days straight after the art show. I didn't want to deal with life at the moment. Sam kept calling me and I kept on ignoring her. I had sent Kellan a text message that we should talk but he never responded. I really hurt him at the art show. I could see it in those damaged eyes. He'd never want to speak to me again.
     
    My mind was mush. I didn't know what to think anymore. I knew deep in the pit of my stomach that I still loved Kellan. I was never able to get over him while he was locked away. But I couldn't be with a criminal. Kellan said he was innocent but there were too many things I didn't know about his MC. The Blood Dogs were known around town for doing some unspeakable things. It wasn't so far-fetched that Kellan tried to kill a member of a rival MC.
     
    If he was such a bad guy then why couldn't I get him out of my mind?
     
    I finally got out of bed and bypassed the bathroom. I didn't even care what I looked like anymore. I went straight to the kitchen to cook some breakfast. It was nine at night but my empty stomach craved eggs and bacon.
     
    I cracked two eggs over the sizzling pan and laid strips of bacon down on another. The aroma twisted my stomach into knots. It wouldn't be much longer until I could finally eat some solid food.
     
    A knock at the door stopped me in my tracks. Was I imagining it? I could barely hear anything over the crackle of the cooking food. I listened hard and heard another knock. My heart jumped at the thought of Kellan being there.
     
    I ignored the food and went to the front door. I looked in the mirror and almost vomited in my mouth. Enormous black bags hung underneath my eyes. My blonde hair was all in knots. Makeup also would've been a good choice. There was no time for it now.
     
    I inhaled a deep breath and opened the door. Sam stood there in a dark blue dress with heels. She held a brown paper bag in one hand a small black bedazzled clutch in the other. Her face turned to horror at the sight of me. “Oh dear, you look terrible.” She rushed past me before I could even say anything. She sniffed the air. “Is something burning?”
     
    “Oh shit!” I ran to the kitchen and found my eggs and bacon burnt to a crisp. My stomach grumbled. Cereal would have to do for now.
     
    Sam set the brown paper bag down on the kitchen island. “I let you sulk about Kellan for a couple days but no more.” She pulled out a variety of alcohol from the bag: rum, vodka, tequila, and whiskey.
     
    “Damn, Sam. Buy enough booze?”
     
    She smiled and opened up the cupboard to grab some shot glasses. “Tonight called for an emergency.”
     
    “You didn't have to do all this, Sam. I'm fine, really.”
     
    Sam laughed as she poured the vodka into the shot glasses, spilling some onto the island. “Did you see how you look? You're definitely not fine.” She
