“Stone, I swear to God you live to make my life more complicated,” I growl out. Stone is on speakerphone in my car.

“Don’t blame me for how fucked up your life is. I told you to come with me to school, but you choose to stick by my father.” He forgets I had nothing, not a penny to my name. The FBI froze all of my father’s assets during the investigation into Robert West’s disappearance turned homicide investigation.

“How did you want me to do that?”

“I would’ve helped you. I can still help you.”

“You are helping me, Stone. Danvers. Alibi.”

He breathes out loudly and grunts. “I hate that you’ve put him on Breaker’s radar.” He loves Hayden almost more than he loves his brother. “I told you to stay away from him. This is what Breaker does, he finds your weaknesses and exploits them until you cave. Now you’ve given him a common thread.”

“What are you babbling about?” I shout as I pull into a parking spot.

“My best friend and your boy toy. Breaker’s going to threaten him until he gets what he wants from us.”

“He won’t.”

“He’s already doing it—”

“You should be thankful I’m giving you a heads-up. Breaker wanted me to blindside you with this.”

“Thankful?” he belittles. “For what exactly?” He blows air out through his teeth and scoffs. “You know what? Forget it.”

I can’t forget it. “I’m going to ask him tonight before Breaker does it for me.”

“I don’t like this, Kelsie. He’s setting us up for something, and I have a feeling the party’s going to end up bloody.”

I sigh as I turn off the ignition. Grabbing my phone off the holder, I take it off speakerphone and exit the car. “Nothing is going to happen to Hayden. I swear.”

“Whatever. One way or another, you’re the one who’s going to end up hurting the most. I’ll see you later.”

I glance up at the coffee shop and familiar bus stop. “See you at the bar.”

“Kelsie?” he says right before I end the call.

“Yeah? Can you not disrupt the party? I need Hayden in the hot seat tonight. If you’re there, he won’t do what I need him to.”

I saw that fucking ad on the Internet. There were way too many shares and even more likes. “What do you need him to do.”

“Be himself, basically, but instead of kicking girls out of his room, I need him to kick girls off his lap.”

I don’t like the way that sounds. Jealousy is a foreign emotion, but I’m pretty sure it’s introducing itself to me right now. “Does he know that?”

“He knows the plan… he just isn’t privy to the changes yet.”

“I’m feeling the need to add Santa Chasers to my list.”

“Well, spare the naughty ones, I need their money.”

I crack a smile. “I’ll think about it.”

“I mean it. I don’t want to end up asking Dad for help.”

“Fine.”

I power down the phone, put the ad with Hayden permanently out of my head, and cross the street. I stroll into the store at exactly 11:00 a.
