“Yup. She told me all about it.”
“Wait. Have you two been hanging out?”
“Nah. Not really. I’ve just been on her ass about the key. Then I realized she didn’t have it and she realized it wasn’t me or you doing that shit. She thinks it’s Neo.”
We both look at each other, neither wanting to ask the question weighing heavily on our minds.
“What do you think?” he asks, taking the initiative.
“I dunno, man. What about you?”
His head tilts to the side, staring blankly as he thinks. “I don’t know either. I just don’t think Neo would go behind our backs like that. We’ve been pretty up-front with each other about our plans.”
“Yeah. You two have. Me, not so much.”
He scoffs. “What do you mean?”
“You know exactly what I mean. It’s the reason I got pissed the other day. You two are always changing plans or doing things that don’t involve me. It’s getting real fucking old.”
“Truthfully, man, we haven’t done much of anything without you.”
“Oh yeah?” I tip my chin. “What about the night at the springs? Anything you wanna tell me?”
His eyebrows pinch together and he looks at me. I don’t even have to ask. He knows exactly what I’m talking about. “How do you know?”
“I have my ways.”
“For what it’s worth, it wasn’t planned. Neo was gonna fuck with her, but I got to her first.”
I can feel the rage climbing inside me. Reaching a point of no return. My voice rises. “Doesn’t matter whose fingers were inside her, just that they were.”
His chin drops to his chest, weaving his fingers through his hair. “Can’t believe she fucking told you.”
“What’s done is done.” I don’t tell him Scar wasn’t the one who told me, or that I know because I saw it with my own eyes. “What we need to do is make sure no one outside of The Lawless has intentions with our girl. I wanna make damn sure we know it’s not Neo, so we can put these assholes in their place. The question is, are you with me?”
Jagger opens his mouth to speak, but our conversation is interrupted when Neo drops his tray on the table with a thud. “What are you two talking about?”
There’s a beat of silence before I finally say, “Fuck it,” dropping my fork onto the tray. “You wanna know what we’re talking about, here it is. Someone’s been stalking Scar and I think it’s the same person who has my key. So, tell me, Neo,” I turn in my chair, eyes level with his, “is it you?”
His face reddens at the question. “First of all, fucker. Why the hell would I steal your key? Second, why would I stalk Scar when I can do whatever I want with her in the light of day?”
“Because she’s Scar—a handful of disobedience, who calls you out on your shit.”
“You think I care what that bitch calls me out on? She called me out three hours ago in class, and two minutes later, my fingers were swimming in her pussy.”
“Come again?” My brain rapid fires as I try to piece together what he’s saying. I look at Jagger, who’s got his head down, shaking it in slow motion. “Did you know about this?”
I expect this shit from Neo. Doesn’t surprise me one bit that he’d pull something like that. He probably gave her no choice but to sit in her seat and comply. But Jagger’s different. Slightly more levelheaded with a sliver ofheart. Whereas, I’m not sure Neo has one at all.
The chords in Jagger’s neck flex as his eyes lift. He scratches his forehead. Pokes at his food. He does everything but answer the fucking question.
“Well!” I shout, slapping the table and rattling the silverware on our trays, “did you?”
He did.Fucking A. He had every opportunity to tell me five minute ago before Neo got here, yet he said nothing.
“Why the hell do you even care?” Neo asks with his holier-than-thou attitude.
“Why do I care?” My voice rises. “Maybe I care because you two all but disowned me for fucking Scar and now you’re both dipping your fingers in her, too.”
