“Someone messed with the footage, it’s edited. We see us pulling in, but no one ever getting out, nothing. What the fuck is going on Jade?” he asks, grabbing my hand. I shake my head at him, tears dropping from my eyes. I feel like I’m losing my mind. Were they here? Am I making this all up?

“I’m a mess Slim, an utter fucking mess. So much has happened in the past two months. My heart hurts. My head tells me one thing, but my heart yearns for another. I can’t stop wanting to numb myself. I don’t want to think let alone feel. I’m so fucking angry and hurt and I can’t make it stop. Someone is definitely messing with me. But I don’t want to think about it. When I think, I break, and I don’t want to be weak. Not anymore. We can figure this out later. I need a hot shower and a bump. Plus, you haven’t seen Kayla, and I think we should do something together tonight before we have to go to the Academy,” I say, hoping he will just take the bait at the mention of Kayla.

“Yes, I have missed her so much. Text her when you get out of the shower, and I’ll make us something to eat.” He says, jumping off my bed and heading out of my room. I swipe to my texts. I see Kayla’s name, but just below it is the group chat with the guys. Another tear drops from my eyes as I ponder on texting them, just to get all my feelings out. It’s not like they are going to reply. I hover over it and decide to open it. I don’t even know what to say or how to convey my feelings. Last night felt so fucking real; they hurt me, they broke my heart with their cruel words, and both of them were so angry with me. I don’t blame them, though. I hurt them in the worst way possible, so I deserved it all, but it wasn’t real, was it? It must have been my subconscious, missing them, knowing they would dismiss me and throw me away if they were alive. I quickly close it out and open Kayla’s thread.

Me: Bestie…you will never believe who fucking showed up last night at the compound.

Almost Immediately.

Kayla: Ah shit, who? If it’s who I think it is, then fuck yes.

Me: SLIM IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Kayla: FUCK YES! WHERE YOU AT? I’M COMING NOW

Me: My house, key in 1431 on the gates. I changed the code.

Kayla: Do I even want to know why?

Me: Nope, lol. See you in a few, I’mma wash my ass.

Kayla: Nasty hoe.

I leave her on read and scream to Slim that ‘Bubbles’ is on her way. All I hear from him is “Fuck yes, it’s time to party!” I laugh. It feels so weird to laugh.

After I shower, get dressed, and throw some makeup on, I head downstairs and hear laughter. It’s such a relief that Cillian is here, he compliments us and brings our little trio together. I’m not going to lie, he’s the perfect distraction from all the things happening. I walk into the game room with my hands on my hips.

“I have arrived. Are we ready to fuck shit up?” I say, walking over to the bar.

“Fuck yes,” they say in unison. I see Slim has lines of Snow waiting for us on the table, and Kayla is pouring shots.

“What shall we do tonight? Any ideas?” I ask.

“I’m new here, so I’ve got nothing,” Slim replies, and we both look at Kayla.

“I have somewhere we can go. There’s a new spot, just outside of Brimstone, everyone is going tonight. Fuck it. Let’s go have some fun.” Kayla raises her brows up and down.

“Okay, I’m down.” I take a shot, and they follow. Slim grabs the bills, handing us each our hundo, and we snort our lines together. I absolutely love the feeling of getting high off the Snow. Already starting to feel better, I divvy us up another line while Kayla pours us another row of shots.

“We can head out after this, it’s going to take about forty-five minutes to get there, oh and let’s not tell your brothers where the fuck we are going tonight. I don’t need them stalking my life,” she says, rolling her eyes.

“You know damn well I won’t say a word, but they probably have a fucking tracker on you; so have fun with that, Bubbles.” I chuckle at her.

“Wait, wait, wait. The twins? As in Ryder and Ryker? You’re the girl they are with?” he asks dumbstruck.

“Yes, yes I am,” she raises a brow at him, and his face pales. Huh? Did I miss something?

“Oh, Slim, did you think I didn’t know?” She smirks, and his face pales even further.

“Wait, what?” I say, but no one is saying anything; they are just looking at each other.

“Someone needs to spill, because I’m so confused,” I say, still waiting to be updated. Slim takes a deep breath, but Kayla is the first to speak.

“Apparently, one of my boyfriends, Ryder, to be specific, has a fuck buddy.” She nods her head at Slim. My jaw drops. No fucking way. I laugh. I laugh so hard as I divvy up another line. Jesus fucking Christ, the plot thickens.

“So, you’re fucking Slim too?” I smirk.

“Ew! No.” they both respond. I laugh even harder. This is fucking great.
