She drags her away and I watch as they both head to the hall, probably to the bathroom. This hotel is huge, and I don’t want to lose them, but I also can’t really follow them to the girls’ room.
I decide to join my friends instead, as I spot Chris and Ozy man-talking Luke. They’ve complained so much lately that I don’t spend time with them anymore. I love them, they’re my family, but they don’t understand that I’m addicted to Jamie.
I don’t call her Angel as a mockery anymore. I think she’s fallen from heaven and was meant to be in my life. The way she keeps me happy and in check is forcing me into believing someone up there sent her for me. Not once since we’ve been together have I lost my shit over some unimportant stuff that makes me feel out of control. Or maybe once, which I have failed to mention to her, but it was anything but unimportant. Beating the shit out of Nate was long overdue not only because he’s been harassing Jamie but for all the things we never solved in the past.
That won’t happen again because I have Jamie now and she teaches me to let go of what I can’t change. She reassures me when Rose comes back home stinking of Sam’s cologne. She takes all the horrible thoughts away and replaces them with pure bliss. She even chased the nightmares away. I used to get Camila over to my house in the middle of the night to take the anger out, now Jamie wakes up to calm me down with her soft lips. That’s how I know she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
“…she’s a great girl, Luke, why do you always want to fuck things up?” Chris finishes as I approach.
“You’re fine, she’ll come back,” Ozy says lazily, typing a text on her phone at the same time.
“I don’t think you’re in a great place to give girlfriend advice,” I taunt my sister.
“Oh, look at that. He remembers we exist,” she replies with a lopsided smile. She puts her phone in her purse and I look up and down at her.
“Yeah, you’re seeing right. She’s wearing a dress,” Luke cuts in before I can say anything. Her long black silk dress touches her ankles, and I can’t help but smile when I notice the white Nike sneakers she’s sporting proudly.
“So you are a girl after all.” The tone in my voice makes her chuckle but she doesn’t let me walk all over her.
“Not as much as you but yeah.” She nudges Luke in the shoulder. “Nice change of topic by the way.”
“What’s wrong with you and Em?” I ask as my friend runs his hand through his pale blond hair.
Luke has always had any girl he wanted but it was mainly them who wanted him. He doesn’t often go out of his way to hit on girls and it happens for him to just take whoever falls on his lap - literally sometimes. But with Emily? Boy, has she made him work for it. He’s acting like he can move onto someone else anytime but if he really could, he would have by now. No, he’s too into the stubborn hellraiser to let her go.
“They’ve entered an unofficial competition as to who can make the other the most jealous. I think Emily is winning,” Chris mocks.
“No, she’s not,” Luke growls. “I am, which is why she’s mad as fuck. Shouldn’t have let Jason hit on her after practice if she didn’t want me to talk to her cheer teammate.”
“Jason?” I ask. “He hit on her? I swear he’s never mentioned her before.”
“Oh, he has,” Rose says before taking a sip from a flask. Where did that come from?
She rolls her eyes when we all look at her with disgusted eyes. None of us want to hear of her sexual adventures with Jason. “I won’t go into more details but just know it includes a time where he told me his ideal threesome. And it did not include Beth.”
We all laugh as she passes the flask around. I take a sip after Chris and almost choke on pure vodka.
“Hey, pass me your phone,” she nudges Luke. He does it without asking any questions and I roll my eyes at him, letting my head fall back in a groan.
“Luke.” I snap the phone from Ozy’s hands. “Times like this are when I wonder if you know her at all.”
“You’re a dick,” she huffs before I can even ask her why she needs his phone.
“You own a very nice phone, why do you need Luke’s?” I smile but she perfectly knows she’s angering me. Does she think I like checking out everything she does?
“Why do you act like a big brother when you’re the exact same age as me? You’re not wiser. If anything, we both know I’m smarter. Give it back.”
I give the phone to Chris, offering her my most innocent smile and he takes it gladly.
“Here. He’s older, wiser, and smarter,” I taunt.
She looks daggers at the both of us. “You two are shit.”
“Why do you need Luke’s phone?” Chris repeats my question as Luke looks at her with a sorry face that says, ‘I tried’.
“Because Roy and Carlo won’t sell to me and we all want to have fun tonight,” she replies casually. “What are we gonna do, score from Volkov? Can you imagine if he knows we’re related to Nate? I don’t want to die, do you?” She completely ignores Chris’ disapproving look and speaks only to me. “Come on, Jake, as if you wouldn’t drop on the last day of school.”
It pisses me off that she’s right. I do wish we could all take pills together tonight. I wouldn’t be against doing it with Jamie and having the best sex of our lives.
