That fucking nobody?
They’re still talking, and by talking, I mean arguing. Vee is obviously disgusted by every stupid word coming out of his stupid mouth. Just as I’m wondering if he can feel my eyes boring holes through his skull, he twists his head to the side and notices me glaring at him.
I don’t budge, my jaw twitching.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
You didn’t deserve what she gave you.
You didn’t deserve her.
Neither did you, the devil on my shoulder reminds me.
This Logan guy flicks his gaze back to Vee, leaning way too close to her for my liking and whispering something in her ear. Right away, she glances in my direction and catches me staring.
Bastard snitched on me.
I should pretend I wasn’t looking, but I can’t fucking tear my eyes away. I stare hard, mentally concocting a handful of ways to murder the guy. Then I see him slip something in her drink.
He. Slips. Something. In. Her. Drink.
It was fast.
Two seconds at most.
Anyone who wasn’t paying close attention would’ve missed it. I beat up Axel for talking shit to her once. This guy has no idea he just signed his death warrant. Rage churns in my chest when Vee shoots me a bitter look that’s tainted with sadness and zeroes in on Logan again.
She didn’t see a thing. Logan offers her a predatory smile, topping it off with a comment Vee definitely doesn’t like because she responds by pushing him away and scampering off.
Fuck, she can’t drink that.
I have to stop her.
I’m dissolving into the crowd the next second, terrified to lose her in this clusterfuck of a neon party. Here I am, chasing after the girl I promised to leave behind.
The girl I promised to break.
And I did.
I broke her heart.
Little did I know I’d be breaking mine, too.
Aveena
I thought I was having a terrible night.
Then I ran into the worst mistake I ever made and realized I hadn’t even begun to approach “terrible.”
The night was bad, yes.
But I only achieved terrible when Logan cornered me by the bathroom. He started by complimenting my body in a repulsive way before point-blank telling me to have sex with him again.
After he laid hands on my sister, hurt her, pulled her hair. The nerves on this guy.
