Tossing the bag at her, she rolls her eyes and catches it in the air.
“Well, hello to you, too, sis.”
ChapterSeven
JAGGER
Laughter roarsthrough the trails as we walk back to the dorms, or in our case, our house. Sleds left behind, we make the trek, because Lord knows none of us are in any shape to drive.
Scar tips to the left, crashing into Crew while giggles escape her. I tighten my grip on her waist, holding her up with Crew’s help. “One foot in front of the other, baby.”
“I’m trying.” She chuckles. “I’m trying so damn hard.”
When she stumbles again, I crouch in front of her. “Hop on.”
“Ahhh,” she bellows, with a bounce in her feet, as she crashes into my back. With her hands in the air, she squeals. “I can fly.”
“Let’s not fly,” I tell her. “Hold on before you fall.”
“I won’t fall,” she argues. “I’m not even drunk.”
Crew and I share a comical look and I’m positive she’s further gone than we are. At least I’m able to stay on my feet while carrying the weight of her body.
It’s nice hearing her laugh, though, and now that I think about it, it’s been hours since any of us have even mentioned Jude or the threats. Scar said we needed this, and she was right. Even if it’s just for one night.
We part ways with the rest of the students, taking a different trail to our house. “Wait,” Scar says in a panic, her legs stiff in my arms, “we forgot Riley.”
“No, babe. Riley’s in her dorm room with Melody,” Crew assures her.
“You’re sure? Because if that bastard hurts her because I left her, I’ll never forgive myself.”
“I’m sure,” Crew says. “Melody’s staying with her. She’s fine.”
Crew’s words seem to appease her because her body goes slack again. With her arms wrapped around me, she rests her head on my shoulder. “I love you guys,” she mumbles. “I really do.”
“Love you, too,” I tell her, while Crew just laughs at her drunkenness.
Her head shoots up and her voice rises. “I have an idea.”
“Oh boy. Can’t wait to hear it.”
“We can all sleep in my bed tonight.”
When neither Crew nor I respond, she keeps talking. “Oh, come on. It’s not like you guys have never shared a bed with a girl. I’ve heard all the stories. What’s the big deal?”
“No big deal,” Crew says. “If that’s what you want, then fine. We’ll all sleep in your bed.”
Once again, she’s satisfied with the response, so she puts her head down again.
A couple minutes later, Crew is opening the front door while I walk inside with Scar still on my back.
“Is she sleeping?” I ask Crew as he closes the door.
He takes a peek at her and nods. “She’s out cold.”
“Damn. I was sort of hoping she’d eat and drink some water before bed. She’s gonna feel this one tomorrow.”
I walk over to the couch and let her fall back so I can pick her back up with a better hold. If I attempt to walk up the stairs with her on my back, there’s a good chance she’ll fall backward, taking us both down.
