“Sure did,” he says.
“Yeah, but that’s kind of a dick move…”
He grips the steering wheel. “Do you want my help or not?”
I don’t get Kevin. He has such a split personality. One minute he is a total asshole, and the next he is nice. Like right now, he’s driving me to where he thinks Kai could be. Helping me.
How nice of him.
“So where is this place you think he is at?”
“Some frat house that people party all weekend at. Rarely does anyone leave until Monday morning.”
“So they party all weekend long without going home?”
“Pretty much.”
“What the fuck?” I whisper. That’s disgusting.
We pull up to a big brown brick house. It’s two stories high. It looks like the typical frat house you see in the movies. The closer we get, the more nauseated I feel.
What am I going to walk in on?
Is he with someone?
A girl?
I pray he’s not here, but I also pray he is so I can at least know he’s fine.
We walk into the bass-pounding, vibrating house. Or is it all the people that are in here shaking the house? I follow Kevin as we squeeze past people. Some stop and greet Kevin as we make our way through.
We round the corner and my whole body freezes at a sight I never wanted to witness. A sight I never thought I would see. A chill runs down my body in disbelief.
Kai and Allison.
Allison and Kai.
What the fuck?
They’re talking and laughing together.
Kevin walks right up to Kai and knocks his drink out of his hand. Kai looks at Kevin, confused. Allison jerks back.
“What the fuck?” Kai says.
“That’s right, Kai. What the fuck?”
They haven’t noticed me yet. I’m standing a little back behind Kevin. I bite my lip, fighting back the tears.
“Dude, what is your problem?”
“Get the fuck outside!” Kevin sternly says.
“Why?”
Kevin moves to the side, and I appear in Kai’s sight. He swallows the lump in his throat as his face falls from seeing me. Holding back my tears, I walk out. I’m not giving Allison the satisfaction of seeing us argue. I know her type. She’ll think she won. I'm sure she thinks she already won.
I lean against the car, watching Kevin storm out of the house with Kai right behind him.
