Shit.

“Maybe one of us should call them and see what they’re doing.” I shoot a look at Mason. “Call Ava.”

He grins, a relaxed expression on his face.

“Ava has no reason to be mad at me for anything. But you three? Yeah, you’re fucked.”

Tanner, Gabe and I all look at each other, Tanner breaking the awkward silence.

“They wouldn’t.”

“Have you met Ivy?” Gabe counters.

“Which means they would,” I groan.

Annoyance flashes across Tanner’s expression.

“Whatever, we’ll deal with that later. For now, we need to plan our next steps in the server drama. It would have been seriously fucking nice for Shane to be here since our next step is finding and cornering Brinley. Anything new on that, Taylor?”

Without looking up from his screen, Taylor answers, “I’m going with Shane to Myth next weekend. Mason’s coming with us, I think.”

“I am.”

Tanner looks at Jase.

“I thought you were going.”

“Not into it,” Jase answers without bothering to look up from his phone.

Dropping his weight down next to me, Sawyer stuffs a few chips in his mouth.

“Probably because you’re still up at night crying about Everly.”

That gets Jase’s attention.

“Man, shut the fuck up about that before I get out of this chair and walk over there.”

“Bring it on,” Sawyer laughs.

“Both of you, shut up,” Tanner barks. “Jase, why are you not into it?”

I run a hand over my head, not in the mood for this shit tonight.

Over the past few nights, I’ve barely gotten any sleep while over at Emily’s house. Although that’s more my fault than hers. I also haven’t been home much because we’re trying to stay out of Damon’s way while he gets used to the idea of us being together.

I was looking forward to getting a few hours of solid sleep in while Emily was out with her friends, but then Tanner called and told me to swing by.

The only reason I came to his place before heading home was because Tanner said we needed to figure out where to go with everything. But if it’s going to turn into a shitshow where everybody is griping at everybody else, I’m not interested.

“Jase, answer me.”

Judging by Tanner’s expression, Jase is about two seconds away from an ass beating.

Maybe I will stay.

This could be interesting after all.

Stealing a few of Sawyer’s chips, I dance my eyes between Tanner and Jase, wondering which one of them is going to step up first.
