Wynn
Lazy afternoonsand evenings with Liam and Lanston make life feel cozy.
I wonder what will happen once we leave this place. Will we fall out of touch and go about our lives until we inevitably get sick again? Or will we remain intertwined and stay sane?
I wonder.
Jericho looks particularly relaxed today. He’s been grumpy and stressed out all week leading up to the Fall Festival.
“Is everyone ready? Get with your partners and meet in the south parking lot. I need a full head count by six p.m., so don’t be fucking late,” the counselor snipes, but he looks really excited.
“Damn, Jericho, got a date meeting you tonight or something?” Liam jests, raising a brow like he’s genuinely interested in knowing our counselor’s business.
“It’s no concern of yours,” Jericho responds without looking up from his clipboard, but I don’t miss the red blooming across his cheeks.
Lanston throws his arm over my shoulder and pulls me in close. He has a big smile and a glimmer in his eyes. “Are we going to race to town again?”
Liam shoots him a dirty look as he grumbles, “Wynn’s my partner. Aren’t you going with Yelina?”
Lanston fidgets with his baseball hat before groaning and sliding his hands down his neck. “Yeah, I was hoping I could get out of it though.”
I shove his shoulder. “That’s terrible.”
“She’s such a bitch sometimes.” He avoids my eyes.
Liam shoves him playfully too. “You’re an asshole. Go meet her before she goes on a manhunt.”
Lanston lowers his shoulders, defeat and dread visibly pulling his spirit down.
“Liam and I will be there too. We’re all going to hang out anyway,” I tell him.
His hazel eyes rise to mine. “Promise me a dance?”
I smile and hold out my pinky. “Promise.”
Liam glowers and grumbles, “One dance. The rest are mine.”
It’s enough to lighten Lanston’s mood. That handsome smile returns to his lips and he heads back to the mansion to meet with Yelina.
Liam takes my hand and pulls me toward the garage. He punches in the code for the door and my heart leaps when he looks back at me. His blue eyes are bright and weightless today. “You like going fast in cars too, or just motorcycles?” He swings his car keys around his forefinger and raises a curious brow. He’s teasing me.
I shrug. “Let me drive and you’ll find out.”
“Yeah, right.”
The Camaro’s lights flash as he unlocks it and opens the passenger door for me.
“You scared, Waters?” I brush his cheek with my hand as I pass him and take my seat.
He chuckles and lowers his head. “No. But you will be, sunshine.”
Jesus fucking Christ.
Iamscared.
Liam floors it with a maniacal grin on his face that I’ve yet to see. He cranks the music up and blares “Thunderclouds” by LSD.He glances at me, that adrenaline-pumping energy filling his eyes, and I squeal when he takes the turn onto the highway like a speed racer. The engine roars and the wheels scream against the asphalt.
“Liam!”
