Two hours later, we’re in Colorado and it’s cold as hell.

Not just because of the weather, I fucking grew up in Westbrook Blues so this is familiar—but because I’ve felt nothing but the chills since Spider took my fucking Jack.

“Give it back, we’ve landed,” I mutter at him as we step off the plane.

“No man. I think I’ll hold on to this for a while longer,” Spider says, his eyes covered in shades.

“Go get your own,” I grit out, checking him out. He’s walking with his bag slung over his shoulder, sans the brown paperbag that the bottle was in.

“I’m more of a Cognac and Ciroc kind of guy,” he says instead, not phased at all.

“You’re a cold beer kind of guy,” I fire back, getting pissed the longer this shit’s going on. “The fuck were you drinking mimosas for?”

“Trying to be fancy.” He chuckles.

“That’s not you,” I mumble. “Give me back my damn Jack.”

“You need to sober the fuck up, or this whole thing is going to be a mess,” he mutters for my ears only and I realize why, because right ahead of us is a black minivan, with King and Baby Blue standing there waiting for us like a fucking annoyed king and a nervous but excited queen.

No doubt the two make one hell of a striking couple, but this whole operation they have going on here, bringing all of us under one roof, it’s already fucked and all without my bit of input to mess it up as is my recently acquired custom of making everyone around me miserable.

And I thought I could handle it, even with the reinforcements we brought with us.

“Oh my gosh, you’re here!” Astraea all but screams, as she runs to hug Ivy the sweet and Kim the liar.

They hug for a long ass time, doing that side to side shit, high-pitched cries coming from their circle. “Ah, I know you’re all a bit mad, but I don’t really care!” Baby Blue squeals.

Yup. There’s my answer if I ever bothered to wonder if she regrets putting any of us in this situation.

She wouldn’t be the one and only Baby Blue I love if she did.

She spots Spider and gasps. “Spider!”

“Raea Raea,” the jerk shouts back. He picks her up and twirls her around. She giggles and I for a moment, I really do want to enjoy this trip, but I’m too fucked for that.

“Em!” she shouts, running for the brute god. He drops his bag, opening his arms for her. When she all but flies into them, he picks her up, twirling her around again, I wish she’d puke on him like she did when we were in sixth grade. Highlight of my year.

Glancing at King, I try to gauge his annoyed meter and see it’s bordering on anger. Good.

Some things have changed, but not everything. Life-long insecurities never really go away. I should know.

“Hey baby,” I hear Emmett say in that deep ass voice of his. When they pull apart, I’m surprised to see tears on Astraea’s face.
