Drake was up and out of his seat the moment the words left West’s lips. He crossed the distance between them before slamming his hands down on the back of the sofa, forcing West to sit back and look at him.

“What the actual fuck, West?”

For once in his life, West didn’t give us one of his maniacal smiles. He didn’t act like a cocky little shit either. He stared at Drake with abject misery written all over his features.

“She needed to remember,” he whispered, his voice laced with pain.

“So what, you decided it was a good fucking idea to put her life in danger? Jesus fucking Christ.” He gripped West’s shirt in one hand and looked like he wanted to strangle our best friend. “What happened that night was an accident. We all know that, but this… you took her there and fucked with her head.”

Drake paused, his voice coming out strained and full of anger. West hadn’t moved. He was still staring up at Drake with too many emotions in his eyes.

“I begrudgingly accepted you branding her because of things I don’t claim to understand about your relationship. Then you do this.”

“Her memories came at a cost.”

“A cost? What if you dropped her, West? Did you think about that? What if you fucking well killed her, huh?”

West flinched. The last thing he would ever want was Scarlett’s death on his conscience.

“I didn’t kill her. I would never. You know how I feel about her.”

“How you feel? How you fucking feel?” Drake dropped West’s shirt and waved his hand around. “What about the rest of us? Don’t you think we feel something for her too?”

West looked absolutely defeated, as if the evening had taxed him heavily. And judging by what he’d told us, it had. Then he steeled himself and glared at Drake.

“I needed her back. We all need her back. Pres wanted it. Frankie did too. You’re the only one who was standing in our way. You didn’t want to face the consequences of her finding out. And now she has, we all have to fucking face it.”

Drake straightened and put the fingers on the bridge of his nose.

West wasn’t wrong. Prescott had been adamant about it for weeks. While I hadn’t exactly voiced it in the same way, I’d wanted her to remember too. Drake was the one who’d stopped us. He slammed the brakes on it. And it was something we were supposed to be discussing tonight, on top of the damn memory stick. Now, I had no idea when we’d deal with that shit. Didn’t matter when Scarlett was missing. She was far more important.

“What happened after you dangled her off the building?”

West didn’t immediately answer. He looked out of the window and rubbed his thighs with his hands.

“I didn’t drop her, not after she remembered. And she does. The way she looked at me when I hauled her up. She saw me. She recognised who I was. She knew me. And it was everything.”

He rose to his feet and shoved Drake away from him before walking to the window.
