I closed my eyes and pulled out my phone. I quickly sent Libby a text message.
Me: Libby, you’re a grown woman, so I won’t tell you what you can and can’t do, but I sure hope you know what you’re doing…with Zack, I mean.
Libby: I need to get out of here. Please come get me.
My heart started pounding. What if that fucker forced her to have sex with him?
Me: Libby…did Zack hurt you? I’ll fucking kill him.
Libby: No.
Me: What’s wrong then?
Libby: I just made the biggest mistake of my life, Will. I slept with Zack. I thought it would help me forget Luke. I need you, Will.
Me: I’m on my way.
Luke came down the stairs with a duffel bag.
I grabbed his arm to stop him. “Don’t go to Abigail.”
He looked at me, shocked. He slowly shook his head. “I haven’t seen Abigail in weeks. I took my last final today. I’m going home.”
He pulled his arm from mine and headed out the door. I let out a deep breath and hit Lex’s number.
“Hey, handsome. I’m about to take my last final, and then I’ll be packing up the rest of my stuff and saying good-bye to UT!”
I smiled, and if I wasn’t so worried about Libby and Luke, I would be turned-on. Just the sound of her voice had my body craving her.
“Awesome. Baby, I’ve got a problem.”
“What? Are you okay? Is everything okay?”
“I’m fine. It’s Libby and Luke.”
She sighed. “Grace just showed me a text from Luke. He said he is on his way home and that he ruined everything with Libby. Is he okay?”
“No, he stopped by Libby’s dorm room to talk to her. About Libby and Zack. The only problem is, he walked in on Libby and Zack together. I
texted Libby, and she is really upset and asked me to come get her.”
“Oh God. She slept with Zack? He didn’t force her, did he?”
“No. I asked her, and she said she just made the biggest mistake of her life. Lex, can you call her? I’m on my way, but talking to you and Grace might help.”
“Of course. Yes. Grace will call her right now, and we’ll talk to her.”
“Thank you, baby. I’ll call you in a little bit.”
“Will?”
I grabbed my truck keys and started heading out of the house. “Yeah?”
“I love you so much.”
My stomach did that funny little flip thing, and my heart felt like it skipped a beat. I realized how damn lucky Lex and I were.
“I love you, too, Lex, more than you will ever know.”
