“I didn’t, Cage.”
“You got till the count of ten to get the fuck outta my sight,” I tell her. She doesn’t move. I release my grip and pull my gun from the back of my jeans, pointing it directly at her.
“One,” I begin to count. She still doesn’t move. I cock the motherfucker. “Two,” I tell her. She swallows hard, and at first, I think she’s going to wait it out, but she doesn’t. As I count to ten, she turns and walks away from me. Something in my chest hurts seeing her go.
I finally lower my gun and shove it back into the waistband of my jeans. Everyone is watching me cautiously. They all know I could snap at any moment.
“Delete it. All of you!” I see everyone pull their phones out and delete the video Twitch sent them.
“Who is he?”
“Do you really care? She was whorin’ around, Cage.” I should kill him too. I should shove the barrel of my gun down his no-good throat, but instead, I turn on my heel and walk to my room. I drop onto the edge of my bed and rest my head in my hands. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have trusted her? I did, and now look what happened.
I swallow the lump in my throat and try to control my rage, but nothing seems to work. I want revenge. I want to snap her neck. Fuck why did she do this?

Yenni
I feel lost. I don’t know what to do with myself. I want to crawl into a hole and die. Who would have sent that to him? Why?
I climb into the car with tears burning my eyes. He believed it. Cage believed the lie on that screen. It was years ago. I remember the drunken night when Scott made that video. He told me he deleted it. He promised me, and he lied. I should have known better. I was stupid and drunk.
I shake my head as I start the car, but when I look in my rearview mirror, I see Twitch standing there. He walks to the side of my car and knocks on the window. I debate rolling it down. I shouldn’t, but I do anyway.
“What?” I ask as I wipe my eyes.
“Why’d you do it?” he asks, eyeing me like I’m the biggest piece of shit.
“I didn’t do anything. That’s an old video. Someone messed with it,” I reply. He chuckles and leans down by the window.
“You should have been with me and not him,” he says.
“I wasn’t with anyone except Cage, and you know it, Twitch.”
“I don’t know anything anymore. Just like your man in there. You fucked him over, Yenni, and it wasn’t even with me.”
“I didn’t do anything,” I declare again. Tears cling to my lashes before slowly falling down my cheeks. Twitch reaches in and wipes one away before pulling away from me. I roll the window up, shift the car into drive and haul ass out of the parking lot.
My heart feels like it’s shattering into a million little pieces. How could he believe I’d do that to him? After all that we’ve been through? He should know me better than that.
Anger settles in my chest as I race through town and straight to Scott’s house. He had to have sent it, but how did he know? How did he know about Cage? It’s not like I went around telling everyone my business.
I pull into his driveway and climb out, leaving the car running as I rush toward the door. I pound on it with my fist until he opens the door. Then I punch him in the chest as hard as I can. He stumbles back, rubbing at his chest as he stares at me.
“What the hell, Yenni?”
“You told me you deleted it!”
“Deleted what?”
“That video years ago. You said you deleted it.”
“Of us? I did delete it,” he says.
“No, you didn’t. How the fuck did you find out about Cage and me?”
“What the hell are you talking about? You need to calm down. You’re not making any sense right now,” he says, trying to come closer to me. He did this. I know he did. I slap his hand away when he tries to reach for me.
