“Scar,” Crew calls out. “Wait.”
I stop walking, close my eyes, and draw in a deep breath.
I can’t do it.
His footsteps behind me carry the weight of a horse. Each step is deafening as he draws closer and closer to me.
“Can we talk?”
I open my eyes, a tear breaking free and sliding down my cheek as I say, “No.”
I just can’t.

JAGGER
“At least weknow they're safe since Neo has Jude. Still. I don’t get why she’s being so damn cold.”
“I told ya. She doesn’t give a damn,” I tell Crew, who’s walking by my side.
“No. He did something. I fucking know it. I don't know about you, but I know what I had with her was real.”
My feet stop moving, rage coursing through my veins. “Are you implying what I had with her wasn’t real? You think she was just a quick fling?”
“Didn’t say that. But if you’re so sure she’d turn on you this quickly then you must not have had what I did with her.”
“It was fucking real! It was the realest thing I’ve ever felt in my goddamn life, so don’t act like your relationship with her sat above mine.”
“Calm down, man. I wasn’t implying anything. Look. We’re both angry right now. Both fucking hurt. But if we wanna get her back, we have to give her the space she needs while fighting for her behind the scenes.”
He’s right. I’ve been a mess lately, and Crew’s the only punching bag I’ve got right now, so I’ve been taking all my aggression out on him. Fuck. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep. I’ve gone to the house twice, just to try and steal a glance at her, because I miss her face so damn much. Both times, I failed. Neo changed the fucking locks on the doors and all the curtains have been drawn shut.
Hell, maybe Crew and I should tie that fucker to a chair right beside Jude, and we can really put this shit to rest.
We come up to the door, right away noticing that it’s open.
Crew scoffs. “He’s pretty brave, leaving the door open for anyone to see what’s in there.”
“It’s Neo. He doesn’t fucking care.”
My phone buzzes in my pocket, so I reach inside. When I pull my it out, I see that it’s Scar’s mom. “Fuck. Mrs. Sunder’s calling me.”
“Don’t answer it. Just send her to voicemail.”
I tap the Decline button and put my phone back in my pocket.Wonder what she wants?
As soon as we step inside the room, my eyes are shooting wide open.
“What the fuck, Neo!” I hurry over to where Jude’s strapped to the chair, all bug-eyed and bloody. “Have you lost your damn mind?”
“We want answers and he won’t give them, so we’re doing this the hard way.” He continues to choke Jude, not allowing him a single breath.
“And how the fuck are you gonna get answers when he’s dead?” Crew grabs Neo’s arm, tugging and pulling to no avail. In fact, I’m certain Neo just tightened his grip.
No thought process behind it, I cock my fist and land it right on the side of Neo’s head, forcing him to let go.
Neo stumbles to the right, catching his own fall. “What the fuck!” he screams while at the same time lunging at me. I step to the side, and he misses, falling straight to the ground. “He almost killed my fucking sister!” he screams even louder. “So what if he dies?”
