“Kaylee McGee is having a party tonight,” I said, “but I don’t know where she lives. Look it up on your cell phone.” Josh pulled over to the side of the street. “I don’t have internet on my phone. Can you look it up on yours?”

“I didn’t bring my phone with me.” I hadn’t known when I left my bedroom that I was going anywhere.

Josh took out his phone and called someone. While he waited to get the address from whoever he was talking to, he looked over at me. After studying me for a moment, he slipped off his suit coat and gave it to me. “Here, you must be freezing. Your nose is all red.” I didn’t want to explain why my nose was red, so I put on the coat without saying anything. Josh went back to his phone conversation. He got the address and a few minutes later we pulled onto Kaylee’s street. It was easy to spot her house. The lights were on and cars lined both sides of the street.

Josh double-parked in front of Kaylee’s house and left his keys in the ignition. “If anyone needs to get by, move the car for them.” He opened his door, then turned back to me and added, “Carefully.”

I rolled my eyes at him, but he was already heading toward the house and probably didn’t see my facial commentary. I sat in the car, waiting, and wondered what Elise would do when she saw me. Would she be mad I’d helped Josh track her down? I was glad I had Josh’s coat. It was comforting to be wrapped up in something that smelled like his aftershave.

A few minutes later, Josh came out of the house. Elise followed after him. She wobbled into the back seat of the car, reeking of beer. “Well,” she mumbled, “if it isn’t the three Musketeers come to save me from myself. At least I think there are three of you. If you stopped waving up and down I could count.”

She laughed, but I didn’t. This time she was laughing at me.

Without saying anything, Josh put the car in drive and went down the street.

I twisted in my seat to face her. “Why did you tell your parents you were with me?” She lay down across the seat. “Because Josh has told them about you. They think you’re a good influence.” She pushed some hair away from her face. “Although obviously not a good enough influence tonight. I think I’m going to throw up.” She waved a hand in Josh’s direction. “Can’t you drive without making the car sway around?”

Josh unrolled the back windows, letting in a blast of cold air. “Don’t you dare throw up inside my car.” Elise moaned for a few moments. Then, moving faster than I’d thought her capable of, she jerked upright and leaned out the window. Her body shuddered and her hair whipped around in the wind. After a minute she pulled herself back inside. Even in the dark, her skin looked blotchy.
