Yuvonne:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think that will be a good idea?\u201d I asked Lady Eugenia, holding the phone in my shaking hands, a small bag slung over my shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had found out through Lord Eldon that Baxter and my stupid ass Madeline were staying at this motel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So I took a bus to the end of the border and then had to walk all the way to the motel because I needed to give Baxter the perfect impression that I had left everything behind for him. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust do as I\u2019m telling you,\u201d Lady Eugenia responded on the other end of the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not know how much her plan was going to work because it basically meant that I would get tortured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wanted me to stay in the rogue community with him and ruin his relationship with Madeline because that would be the only time I could do it. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I was not close to them, my sister would just win his heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I needed to stop calling her my sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I grunted to myself and reminded myself that she was not my sister and that she definitely did not deserve the respect of being called one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNow cut the call, and remember, whatever he says, do not lose your mind. Just play the perfect role,\u201d his mother instructed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I nodded my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was not sure what kind of master plan this was, but she said that if this did not work, there was another plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She also told me that the other plan was quite nasty and that it would be painful, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She warned me to make this plan work, or else I would be in a lot of pain with the next one. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not understand what that meant, but here I was, standing at the counter and asking for Baxter and Madeline\u2019s room number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was pretty late at night, so I knew they must have had their dinner and would be asleep by now, if rogue people even had dinners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was not sure where rogue people ate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The lady at the counter guided me to the room. I walked out into the cold air and then stood in front of the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My fist kept clenching as I wondered what would happen next.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a lot of confidence and a lot of fake tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I heard the cheers of children from inside, and that confused me. I thought they would be crying, but I guess not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, why would they be crying? Their mother had stolen someone else\u2019s man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Footsteps approached the door, and I quickly prepared myself to cry some more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment the door opened, I squeezed my eyes shut and opened my mouth to cry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then I noticed it was Madeline, and my expression went still.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew I must have looked bored, and even she could see that I had been about to cry but had stopped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYuvonne?\u201d she said my name bitterly, full of hatred.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is Baxter?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I forced myself to cry again and pushed past her, rushing into the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And what did I see? There was only one bed, which Baxter was occupying with the children, playing games with them like a father would.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was also one couch with two pillows pushed together and a blanket.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ideas started forming in my head, so many that my brain began to hurt. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
I avoided all of that and rushed straight toward Baxter, who had just gotten up from the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he was on his feet, I crashed into his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silence followed. I was the only one crying, sniffling, and wailing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve missed you so much,\u201d I continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was not sure what they were thinking, but there was a long pause before Baxter grabbed my elbows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It only lasted for a second, and I thought he was going to pull me closer. Instead, he pushed me back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d he demanded, then corrected himself. \u201cI mean, what are you doing here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice was stern.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked over at the children, and my mood soured instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew one was not supposed to be nasty toward children, but there I was, directing my thoughts at them anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I turned to look at Madeline, who had walked over to stand next to Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI left everything behind for you.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment I said those words, I watched Madeline\u2019s face turn pale,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, I was right. That bitch was planning to steal my man forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But it was Baxter\u2019s eyes widening that upset me the most. I began to wonder what that look meant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was he impressed? Was he upset? What was he thinking as he stared at me like that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d he asked me. \u201cHave you lost your mind? We\u2019re talking about the mountains. We\u2019re going rogue. We\u2019re not going on a picnic.\u201d 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had already started scolding me, and I convinced myself it was because he was worried about how I would\u00a0<\/p>\n
survive in the woods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So I decided to ease him a little.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s okay. I don\u2019t want luxuries. I don\u2019t want anything. I just want to be with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as I said that, I tried to lean into his chest again, but he pulled back, his hands raised to gesture for me to\u00a0<\/p>\n

step away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I did not know why, but I had never felt so rejected before. It hurt me, and it hurt my soul.\u00a0<\/p>\n
