Ouch. Holy shit.I didn’t think anything could hurt worse than watching my best friend lie lifeless in a hospital bed, but this one did it. I’d rather die than feel a pain like this ever again.
“You’re lying.”
There it is. More pain. Take me out of my misery, God. I can’t do this.
“I’m not lying, Jagger. I don’t love you or Crew and I don’t want to be with either of you.”
I spin around to leave, unable to do this anymore.
I’m not even out the door when the harrowing sound of something crashing to the ground has my eyes shooting over my shoulder. Jagger has tipped his entire dresser over. He glares at me with hard-pressed lips as he kicks it repeatedly.
Holding back my tears, I save them for when I’m in the hall. Once I am, I fall to the floor.
ChapterThirteen
NEO
“How’s itmake you feel knowing you inflicted this pain on your best friends?”
Crew and Jagger moved out five days ago after Scar broke up with them. I didn’t see it coming, but I can’t say I’m disappointed. Now the fear of them finding Maddie is eliminated. She’s safe to recover in the comfort of our house. I’ve moved her from the basement to the spare room, installing countless locks to be certain no one will enter.
Riley’s still here. It was a last-minute deal struck with Scar, and I should’ve fought it harder, but I’m beginning to lose all fight inside me. I pride myself as being indestructible, but those who appear strong are usually the weakest players. I can finally admit to myself, I am weak. And each day that passes, I become weaker to desire.
“To answer your question,” I begin, biting hard on the toothpick wedged between my teeth. “Feels good.”
“Of course it does. You’ve hurt people. Isn’t that your goal in life?”
“Not my goal, per se, but it doesn’t hurt me at all, so why should I care?”
The next thing I know, Scar is shoving her thumb into my swollen cheek. “What the fuck?” I shriek, jerking my head back.
“Hmm. So you do feel things? Weird.”
Scar gets up from the opposite end of the couch where she was sitting. Slow steps lead her toward me. “I think you just want everyone else to be as miserable as you are.”
I shrug, not agreeing, but also not disagreeing.
She’s in front of me now. Crouching down, she places her hands on my thighs and I squirm unintentionally. “What are you doing?”
Her hands move up, trailing along my inner thighs, and I pick one hand up, removing it from me. “Stop touching me.”
“This is what you wanted, isn’t it? Me. And you?”
“Hell no.” I pick the other one up, also moving it until both her hands are resting on the couch cushion on either side of me. “It’s for Maddie. I don’t fucking want you.”
She pushes herself up until her legs are bent and slides on my lap. When she grasps my head with both hands, I turn to the right. “Get the fuck off me, Scar,” I grit out, heart hammering inside my chest.
Turning my head, she forces eye contact. “Maybe I do. Maybe I want a taste of something I’ve never had.”
“You’ve tasted my mouth, so what is it you want? My cock?”
She doesn’t respond, just stares lustfully back at me, and I’m done for. “Well. Is it?” I grab her waist, jerking her close while lifting my hips and giving her a feel of my bulging cock. “You wanna suck my cock, Scar?” Her eyes widen in surprise and her hands fall from my head. “That’s what I thought.”
As quickly as she climbed on, she climbs off. Her head drops as she paces in front of me. “I can’t do this.”
“Sure you can. It’s not forever.”
“Are you sure, Neo?” She pins me with a hard glare. “Because it feels like I’ve lost Crew and Jagger for good, and while I might get Jagger back, I’m not so sure about Crew.”
