“They… They slept together?” I nearly choke, hating myself for how transparent I’m being.
She nods. “Yep, she finally opened her legs. About time, if you ask me. She could use the experience.”
I told Kass the same thing once. Biggest lie I’ve ever told in my life. She knows exactly what to do in bed. My dick can attest to that. Jesus, is that what she meant by “What if it is” earlier?
She warned me.
Said it straight to my face.
I shouldn’t be surprised.
“Apparently, he’s huge,” Zoey says.
It feels like sandpaper is scrubbing my insides.
“Oh, don’t look so sad, Willy.” Zoey steps forward, and I flinch at the nickname—Kass’s nickname for me. Is this the Universe messing with me? Chill, Universe.
I’m already fucking dying.
“Forget her. She doesn’t appreciate you. I, on the other hand…”
I stare blankly into space.
“In fact, she said not to bother her tonight. Luke’s probably banging her as we speak.”
Explains why I can’t find her.
I lost her.
The girl who talks back at me.
The girl who cares.
I lost her because I can’t treat her right.
“It’s just you and I, Willy,” Zoey adds.
“Stop calling me that,” I hiss.
Zoey crowds my space, pushing to the tip of her toes with a vicious smirk covering her red lips. I can’t move. All I see is Kass moaning beneath Riverside’s golden fucking boy. Happy that she dodged a bullet—happy that she dodged me. Zoey’s mouth crashes against mine.
Will, wake the hell up!
It must last two seconds tops. I shove Zoey away from me, ready to bite her head off.
That’s when I see Kass.
Standing by the fire. Staring at us, eyes brimming with tears.
Then she runs off.
Kassidy
I want to scream.
Scream until my voice is so broken no sound comes out. But most of all, I want to cry until I can’t feel my face. We must’ve gotten here less than five minutes ago and I’m already dying to leave. I only realize how fast I’m running when I bump into someone.
“Sorry,” I mutter, rounding the stranger, whose arm goes out to stop me.
