“What does it matter, baby? I will be your last.”
And that was the wrong thing to say, obviously. Jace loses it. He shrugs her off and screams at everyone to leave. The party is over. When she tries to grab him again, he yells, “Leave, now.”
Nothing shuts a party down faster than finding out the girl you’ve loved your whole life lied to you about your first kiss.
The music stops, and the sounds of cars and people leaving echo around us. The three of us don’t speak until things are quiet outside.
Jace turns to me, then faces Roman. His jaw ticks as he takes a deep breath. “This is why we have the pact. Did you see what’s happened already? She played us all. She left for four years without a word, and in just a few minutes with her back in our lives, she had us all at each other's throats.”
Roman grumbles in agreement, and as much as I want to tell them both to fuck the pact, I know it’s the truth. It was just as Jace had said when we were ten. She would pick one, breaking us apart. Look at tonight, all that over a kiss. One little kiss, and we were fighting. Imagine how it would be if she did pick one of us.
These guys have been my best friends for so long. They’re my brothers, and I would do anything for them. Even tamp down and hide the feelings I still have for Mila. I won't let her come between us. I need them as much as they need me.
All three of us place our right hands over each other’s and call out loudly like we had many times as kids.
“The pact still stands.”
