I knew trying to keep up with Jonas was a big mistake.

He’s downed three more shots, and despite devouring nearly an entire basket of mozzarella sticks, I’m feeling it.

I’m not drunk, but I am buzzing pretty hard.

Which is probably why, like a complete idiot, I agreed to share a ride home with my nemesis.

“You sure you’re okay riding home with him?” Julian asks for the fifth time.

I nod. “It just makes sense. We live close to one another. You live on the other side of town with all the other rich kids who still live with their parents.”

“Oooh, drunk Frankie is mean Frankie. I’ll have to make a note of that.”

“One, I’m not drunk. And two”—I poke his nose—“boop. You still love me.”

Laughing, he wraps me in a warm hug. “I do still love you. Just make good choices, Frankie. You have a weakness when it comes to him.”

“You have nothing to worry about. Anything I had with Jonas is long past.”

“You’re drunk and, seeing as you’re agreeing to share a cab with him, obviously already not thinking clearly.”

“Buzzed,” I insist.

“Either way, be smart.”

“Yes, Dad.” I squeeze him. “Thanks for giving me a night out. I needed it. I mean, inviting Jonas was a dick move, but thank you.”

Our cab pulls up and Julian releases me. He walks over to Jonas, and the two shake hands. I see their lips move, but I can’t make out what either of them are saying.

Julian gives me one last wave, walking backward toward his car. “Night, Frankenstein.”

“Night, Igor.”

I gulp in a deep breath, gathering the strength I need to make it through this ride, and turn toward the cab.

Jonas holds open the door for me. “Frankenstein, huh?”

I huff, walking around to the other side, ignoring his gesture. “It’s a hell of a lot better than what you came up with.”

His eyes smile at me over the top of the cab. “I’ll be the judge of that, Frank.”

We climb inside and I rattle off my address to the driver then begin telling him we’ll be making another stop at Jonas’ house.

“No we won’t,” he interrupts.

“Uh, yes we will.”

“I’ll walk from your house.”

“Jonas, it’ll be midnight by the time we get to my place, and you live almost a mile away. Don’t be stupid.”

“I’m not being stupid. I want the fresh air.”

“Fine.” I huff. “Suit yourself.”

Then, it’s quiet again.

Our go-to.

Despite our arguing earlier, I actually had a good time tonight.

Hanging out with Jonas wasn’t so bad when Julian was there.

I guess that’s our issue—we can’t be alone together.

We’re either fucking or fighting, and since we definitely aren’t fucking right now, fighting it is.

“Your voice sounds different than it used to.”

“The more I drink, the deeper it gets. I’ve been spending a lot of my time drinking lately.”

Despite how I feel about Jonas and the way he left me, my heart aches at the thought of him losing the one thing he loved most in this world—the game.

Even though we didn’t attend the same college, the
