He wouldn’t keep something like this on a computer, right? Not if it can be tracked or something? He may just not have the evidence at all. Why should he? He got away with it. Maybe this was a dumb idea.
I shove the files back into the drawer until I notice something at the bottom.
Accident Report
“Gotcha.”
A close voice startles me. “He’s not too bright. He will do the right thing.” I jump out of my skin at the sound of Mark’s voice just outside the door. “He’s here, isn’t he? So clearly he isn’t getting anywhere with her.”
Quickly, I grab the file and close the drawer as quietly as possible.
“He’s been trying to make his way in with her and she’s falling right into it.”
Ted? Why the fuck is he here?
“That’s why you need to quit with your little tantrums and stay with her whenever she pisses you off. Get over whatever your problem is and handle her. I will settle Lucas down.”
What the fuck is going on?
“But if you keep leaving her for your little whores, she won’t take you back again, and he will weasel his way in with her with that charming smile.”
The door to the study opens and I slide down underneath the desk. My heart pounds in my chest and beads of sweat form on my forehead.
Please don’t come to this side of the room.
Mark speaks up again after the door shuts. “This was the deal we made, Ted, and you are not holding up your end of it. I needed you to do this a year ago and get her out of this town. If he were to suspect something, he would try to be the little hero just to get some ass. We cannot afford that right now. I have too many opportunities coming up and I won’t screw them up because you can’t wrangle an annoying little girl because of some old teenage jealousy over Lucas Kennedy.”
My phone vibrates in my pocket and I grab for it while sticking the file in my mouth to hold it all together.
“Is that your phone?” Ted asks.
“No, yours?”
Fuck!
They’re going to find me.
“Hmm.” Neither of them revisits it, and they go back to their conversation while I silence my damn phone.
It’s a text from Allie.
Allie:I’m sorry for the way I acted. I was hurt and I know there are issues. I just need to know that this isn’t a waste of my time. I wouldn’t mind having a conversation with you sometime if you wanted to have a serious one.
Even if Ted wasn’t so damn shady, he would never deserve her. I send a text back to her while Ted and Mark spill the fucking tea.
Lucas:Can I come over later?
I knew something wasn’t right about this relationship. He never had anything for her and the only reason things were so damn perfect was because they never were. He’s with Allie because Mark wants him with Allie. But why?
Holy shit, Ted’s covering up the accident for Mark.
My phone lights up with her response.
Allie:To stay the night?
I wasn’t planning on it, but I won’t say no to that.
Another message comes in.
