As she shifted closer to me—probably to seek protection and give it both—Chance snarled, “What the fuck are you doing here?” He sported a black eye, courtesy of Beck, and I couldn’t help but feel a thrill knowing Beck had hurt him back.
“I go to this school,” I answered the obvious before sniffing and rolling my eyes. “Moron.”
Melody finally reached us, hearing the tail end of my “compliment.”
“Who the hell is this chunk?” she asked.
Tess took hold of my arm, obviously offended on my behalf, as Chance snickered and motioned to me with his chin before answering, “Don’t you know? This is the lying bitch who got Hilliard out of jail.”
Mouth dropping open and eyes bulging wide, Tess turned to ask, “Did he just call you what I think he just called you?”
I didn’t get a chance to answer before Melody interrupted us, squawking, “What? But she doesn’t have rainbow-colored hair.”
Wow, she was a quick one, she was.
I sent her a saccharine smile. “Well, some things change, sweetheart. Too bad my first impression of you didn’t. Turns out you really are a manipulative whore.”
“Hey,” Chance growled, stepping intimidatingly closer, which made Tess squeeze right up against me, her breathing picking up as she grew more anxious. “Watch your mouth, cunt. My sister’s been through enough.”
I bit the inside of my lip before nodding to agree. “You know, you’re right. I bet she has.” Meanwhile, I whipped my phone from my back pocket and slid my finger across the screen until I was looking up my videos. “I’m sure cheating on her boyfriend takes a lot out of a girl.”
Then I pressed play, making her caterwauling orgasm screech through the speakers of my phone.
“Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Beck. Right there. Right fucking there. Fuuuuck. It feels so good,” she bleated. “Fuck me, fuck me, fuck—”
Gasping, Melody snagged the phone from my hand and threw it on the ground before crushing it under her boot heel.
It happened so fast I could only gape, with Tess standing frozen speechless next to me.
Even Chance looked struck dumb as he ogled the shattered phone. Then he lifted his eyes to his sister, and I could tell—hell, anyone watching could tell—he knew without a shadow of a doubt his precious sister was a liar.
She hadn’t been raped at all.
“If you showed this to anyone—” she started, pinning me with a death glare.
But I laughed in her face. “I showed it to the police, you idiot. How do you think I got Beck out of a jail? And why the hell did you send him there in the first place? Seriously, do you have any idea what your lie did to him? You destroyed another human being to keep yourself out of trouble. How do you sleep at night?”
Letting out a scream of outrage, Melody launched herself at us, but Tess and I kind of worked as one super-human to shove her back before she could strike. She lost her balance, tripping backwards before she landed on her ass.
That was all it took to piss off big brother.
“Don’t you ever fucking touch my sister.” He grabbed my wrist, hard, and yanked me toward him.
“No!” Tess shrieked, still hooking her arm through mine so that she was dragged with me.
The cowboy reared back his fist to strike when a shout from behind us stalled him short.
He glanced over our shoulders, then abruptly released me, snatched his sister from the ground and took off jogging away with her.
“What the hell is going on?” a panting Jonah demanded, reaching us a second later so he could yank Tess into his arms and hug her. “Who the fuck was that?”
“Oh my God. Oh my God, Jonah.” Tess burrowed into him, tucking her face under his chin and clutching him tight.
“Wha…?” He glanced meaningfully at me as he patted her back and smoothed her hair, his gaze demanding an explanation.
I cleared my throat and shifted uncomfortably. “Apparently, I’m such a badass now I have some violent enemies.”
“Violent is right.” Tess pulled away from her boyfriend to hurry to me and look me over as if I might actually have a wound.
