Chapter Nine – Zoey

It was hard getting back into the grind after Lake left, mostly because I missed him so much. His presence was so calming, so soothing. He really was the best part of us all pure and sweet. I loved him so much.

I loved him so much that I wasn’t quite myself Monday or Tuesday. I didn’t pay much attention to my sister either day, nor did I really feel like spending any time with Wyatt. Still, I knew time was too valuable to waste, so I forced myself to eat lunch with him on his break on Tuesday.

Wyatt noticed something was off with me, and when we got our food and sat down together, he said, “You okay? You seem… off today.” He sat across from me, leaning over the table to get a little closer to me. Thank goodness he didn’t try to sit beside me or anything; the kiss he’d given me after the party was still too vivid in my head.

I didn’t want to kiss him. I wanted to kiss Lake. Or Carter. Or Roman. Anyone but him, really. And it was nothing against Wyatt; he was nice. He was sweet. He was everything guys in Hillcrest normally weren’t—and that’s why I was beginning to feel torn.

I was using him, and he’d developed real, genuine feelings for me. What I planned on doing… could I really do it? Did I have the balls to hurt someone like Wyatt all in the name of getting back at my sister?

Time would tell.

“I’m all right,” I said, picking at my food. I wasn’t really hungry. “I’m just… I’m thinking.”

“About what?”

“You’re really nice, and I like you a lot. I’m sorry to drag you into the middle of this thing between me and my sister,” I muttered, frowning as I bit the inside of my cheek, mind drifting off. “Most people want to stay away from drama.” Willow and my parents not included in that number, obviously.

“I’m not a fan of drama, but I meant what I said. I like you, Zoey. What your sister did was shitty. I’m not going to pretend I don’t like you all because your family sucks. That’s kind of what families do—just not to the extent yours does. I’m not going to let Willow drive me away from you, and you shouldn’t let her do it, either.” Wyatt sounded so sure of himself, and his words might’ve made me feel better if I wasn’t already guilty over my plan.

I smiled at him. “You’re sweet.”

He grinned. “I try.”

We talked a little, and I did my best to eat even though I wasn’t really hungry. I walked him back to the store afterward, and I lingered there in the union for longer than I should’ve. I should go to my next class, but I stared at Wyatt behind the register for a few minutes, knowing I could regret my choices later. For now, it was time to fuck shit up around here.

But when I
