The next day, I was wearing shorts with a stretchy band, a tank top, and flip-flops. I had third-degree burns on my legs and feet, and my arm was broken, hence the clothing choice that wasn’t normally my style—at least not in public. Trent had to drive me to school, and Gemma tagged along since she was feeling nauseated and didn’t want to drive.

My brother grabbed my good arm, keeping me in the car until Gemma got out. I sighed in exasperation, turning to look at him. He narrowed his eyes at me. “No skipping school,” he ordered.

“What in the hell am I going to do with a burnt leg and a broken arm?” I snapped at him. My pain medicine had yet to kick in, so I was in a foul as fuck mood.

He chuckled and released me. I shoved open the door. Gemma was waiting for me with my bag in her hand. “Gemma, make sure you help her walk around and get to and from class,” Trent told her, leaning over the middle console so she could see him.

I rolled my eyes and managed to get out of the car, clenching my jaw at the pain. Dad and Mom had both tried getting me to stay home, and though it would have been nice, I knew I was behind from yesterday. I needed to be here to make sure I could keep up with my classes.

Gemma put her arm around me, allowing me to lean on her some, and we walked into school together—well, I hobbled. Everyone stared as I walked down the hall, but I kept my head down, focusing on breathing and not screaming. Why did pain meds have to take so long to kick in?

When I walked down the hall where my locker was located, my eyes widened in horror.

Seth had some random girl pushed against the lockers. His tongue was down her throat, his thigh pushed up between her legs.

Humiliation swept through me. My cheeks burned.

After all that I had done for him, this was how he fucking repaid me.

I stepped on a wet spot on the floor. Didn’t even notice it since I’d been so focused on Seth. I screamed in shock, my arms flailing. Gemma accidentally released me instead of trying to keep me upright. My back slammed to the floor, the wind momentarily knocked from my lungs. I stared up at the ceiling, unable to suck air into my lungs.

“Bailey!” Gemma yelled in horror, bending down to help me. I groaned, tears burning in my eyes. “Bailey, please say something,” she pleaded.

“Shit.” I rasped. My back was pounding, and my legs and arms were throbbing more than they already had been.

Everyone was whispering. I could hear them now that my ears were no longer ringing. I slowly turned my head, my eyes instantly landing on Seth. He was pushing someone out of his way and moving over to me.

I swallowed thickly as he stepped over me and grabbed my waist
