“So you’re Cain’s latest? Good luck with that. Nothing more awesome than a guy who leaves you on the floor while he starts a barroom brawl.” She snickered and exchanged an amused glance with her friend. “That’s not pathetic or anything.”

Ali was clearly pleased with herself. She looked like she knew the fight between the twins was over her and she was enjoying that. She had also tapped into the one thing that would hurt me—being singled out. Because I was at the end of my patience and thoroughly disgusted with her, I said, “Fuck off.”

Bella gasped. Kennedy gave me a look like she had a renewed respect for me.

“Classy,” Ali said. “All of you.”

That made me seethe with rage. “Says the bitch who abandoned her baby.”

She narrowed her eyes.

Bella gasped. “Is this Camp’s mother?” Bella straightened herself up. “Bitch isn’t even strong enough.” She went over to Ali, pointing a finger at her in the mirror. “You’re a horrible human being.”

I had secretly been hoping Bella would pull out “twat” or “cunt” but that wasn’t my sister’s style. And while I wasn’t sure how “horrible human being” was worse than “bitch,” I did appreciate her in essence defending a baby.

“You don’t know my life.” Ali turned and got in Bella’s face. “You want to start shit with me, you fugly lush?”

Uh-oh. Those were fighting words. It would insult my sister no end to be called ugly or a lush, but both? Though I was pretty sure that in an actual physical altercation Bella would not come out on top.

“And you don’t know mine,” I said, not wanting this to go further. “So back the fuck off.” I tried to sound threatening as I pulled Bella by the arm. “Let’s go.”

Bella came with me, thank God.

Kennedy, in high-waisted shorts with heels and my cardigan, tossed at Ali, “Your extensions look like shit.”

And with that, we walked out and the bachelorette party came to an end.

Just like my relationship with Cain.

I didn’t even look in his direction as I hustled my sister out of the bar.
