“Same,” she moans. “My head is killing me.”

“Surprisingly, I don’t feel all that bad this morning. But based on the gross taste in my mouth, I did my fair share of puking last night too.”

Most girls would be mortified of puking in front of someone they liked, but not me. Ever since we were kids, Toby would sit with me when I was sick, trying to get my mind off of it. Even if my mom or one of my dads was sitting there with me.

He was also the one to hold my hair back the first time I got drunk. He didn’t help by cracking jokes while I emptied my stomach. Do you know how hard it is to laugh and puke at the same time?

“Lucky bitch.” She brushes some of her black hair away from her face.

Vibration against my ass has my brows furrowing. I stand up and reach into my back pocket. It’s my phone? “He couldn’t have even taken my phone out of my pocket,” I mutter and check to see who's calling.

“Who is it?”

“My mom,” I tell her, pressing the answer button. “Hey, Mama, what's up?”

“Lilly,” her voice is stern, and I know I’m about to get chewed out.

“Yes?” My eyes flick down to Bee’s.

“Put it on speaker,” Bee whispers. Ever the nosy one.

I press the speaker button, tossing the phone on the bed, and my mom starts again. “Would you care to explain why not one, but all of your fathers got emails today with links to photos and videos of you and Bee dancing on top of a table without your shirts on?”

Dread fills my stomach. “No,” I whisper, my eyes widening in horror, Bee’s doing the same.

“Well, you’re going to anyway,” my mom sighs, any anger she had fading away. “Lilly, what happened?”

“I don’t remember,” I groan. “The last thing I remember was seeing something that upset me and needing to drink to forget it.”

“Are you okay? What did you see that got you so upset?” her voice is full of concern.

I bite my lower lip, scrambling to think of something. I can’t tell my mom I saw my stepbrother, whom I’m in love with, get his dick sucked. So I panic and say. “I saw Jonas kissing another girl.”

Bianca’s eyes widen, and I cringe. “Oh, honey, I thought you two ended things on good terms.”

“We did. I guess it was just a reminder that things are over. But it’s okay, I’m okay.”

“I’m glad you're okay, but, Lilly... it’s all over social media. Theo has gotten many links on the school message boards taken down. But they’re on Instagram too.”

My belly turns as I bring up the app. It doesn’t take long to see I’ve been tagged in a ton of posts. I read the captions. ‘Coaches daughter is a bombshell.’ ‘Dean’s daughter is a wild child.’, and then there's one that pisses me off the most. ‘Like mother, like daughter. Both love the attention.’

I click on the profile to see who it is. Just fucking great.

“It’s fine,” I sigh. “Just means I’ll have to be more careful. But it’s nothing new for Silver Valley. And the fact that all of my dads are some kind of faculty figure means that more eyes are on me. I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean for anything like this to happen. You know me.” There’s shuffling on the other side of the phone, and I wait for a response.

“Hey, Lills,” my mom, Rain’s, voice comes through the speaker.

“Hey.”

“Your dads are talking your mom down from going full mama bear mode.” She sighs. “Do you have any idea why they would have posted it? We can do a mass reporting, hopefully get it taken down.”

“They’re all being reposted from the original post. You remember that girl who had a very unhealthy obsession for Dad back when you all were in college?”

“Yes...” I can hear the disdain in my mom’s voice.

“Well, It’s her daughter, Katie, who posted the photo and video.”

“You have got to be fucking kidding. God, this is fucking bullshit,” Rain groans. “I swear, I will lose my shit if she does anything batshit crazy like her mom.”
