“Just go.”
He keeps moving and so do I, hoping that Crew isn’t too far away.
As soon as my feet hit the ground, I see him. Face to face with Jagger; his fist clenched at his side.
He doesn’t even look at me, just raises his fist in the air and lays it right across Jagger’s cheek.
“Crew! No!”
ChapterTwenty-Three
CREW
I lose all control.Over my mind, my body. Words fly out of my mouth as my fists whale, but I can’t stop. “Who the fuck do you think you are touching her like that?”
Another one lands, this time on the back of his head. If Jagger weren’t three sheets to the wind, I’d be the one with my back pressed to the ground.
“Get off him, Crew.”
Her voice is there, but I don’t hear her. Everything she’s throwing out slips through my ears as empty words.
We’re rolling in broken pieces of glass, and I can feel them splintering my hands, but the pain doesn’t stop me.
It isn’t until Scar puts her arms between us that I finally get a grip. I grit my teeth in warning.“Get the hell away from me.”
I can see the turmoil in her eyes with just those few words.
In a moment of weakness, Jagger shoves me off him and I fall backward, catching myself with my hands to the ground.
“What the hell is your problem? She doesn’t belong to you. Never has and never will,” Jagger shouts, kicking up glass with the toe of his boot.
“She doesn’t belong to you either.”
“Hello,” Scar raises her voice, “I’m right here. Quit acting like I’m not.”
We both look at her, but she only looks at him. “Jagger. Can you give us a minute? Please.”
A sense of relief washes over me and I get off the ground, dusting my hands off while rubbing streaks of blood into my palms.
Jagger doesn’t say anything as he huffs and walks away.
Scar shoves me back a few steps. “What is the matter with you?”
“You kissed him!”
Her hands fly in the air as she shouts back at me, “So what?”
“Are you fucking stupid, Scar? Didn’t you learn your lesson last time you let that fucker touch you? It’s a game to him. It’s all a game!”
“It’s a game to you, too. Isn’t that what this week is about? A bunch of stupid games that hurt everyone?”
“No!” I shake my head, hoping she hears the truth in my words. “It’s not a game to me. Not this time.”
Her shoulders slouch, and she tilts her head. “What are you saying?”
“I’m saying I want to help you. Find out who this asshole is who’s fucking with you. I was coming up there to talk to Jagger about it since Neo agreed, then I saw you sucking his face.”
She crosses her arms over her chest, popping her hip up. “What’s the catch?”
