“Where were you?” Lilly had that post-sex glow about her. Jealousy ran through me, only adding to my restlessness. After stopping things before they went too far, Evan had pressed a chaste kiss to my lips before announcing he had to get back for Eli. He’d only come out to Rogues to check that I was okay. I guess once he had seen with his own eyes that I was fine, that was enough for him, and he left me … again.

It was becoming a pattern with him. And it left a bitter taste in my mouth.

“I already told you. Nowhere. I went to pee and got lost.” I peeked over at Malachi, but he gave nothing away. It was likely someone else had seen Evan. Me and Evan … together, but if they had, no one said a word. And with the way Vin lingered around me like a bad smell, he was definitely none the wiser.

“You should have waited for me; I would have escorted you.” He slung his arm over my shoulder. “It’s not safe to walk these streets alone.”

“Stop being such a creeper,” Lilly scolded.

“Chill. I’m just saying, if Becca needs a friend, I am more than willing to—”

“Jesus, dude, she is not interested. Can we please move on? Another beer, Becca?” Jay kicked back against the bumper car he and Lilly shared. I shook my head, sliding out from under Vin’s grip. The slight buzz I’d felt earlier had vanished like an ice bath when Evan slipped out of the abandoned office and sent me back to my friends.

I still couldn’t believe how I’d acted. How out of control I’d been. But I craved the connection—needed it—so much it hurt. Evan wanted it too. I saw it every time I looked at him. But like a storm on the horizon, I didn’t know whether he would sweep me up in its devastation or shelter me from its ruin.

“Where’s Scarlett?”

“She said something about food,” Vin answered. “That girl can eat.”

“Please tell me she didn’t drive off, alone and high?” Lilly’s eyes widened with alarm.

“She wasn’t that high. Just one smoke.”

“Vin! What If something happens to her?”

“Happens to who?” Scarlett stood just outside of the bumper car track with a bag of Chick-fil-A in her arms. “I come bearing snacks.”

“Awesome.” Vin jumped up and went to her. “Did you get fries? I could kill for fries right now.”

“Whoa, whoa, I brought stuff for everyone, jackass.”

I settled back in my car and watched the two of them argue over who got what. A month ago, I wouldn’t have imagined being here—doing this. I didn’t fit in a place like Credence High, but Evan had told me that I just needed to find my people. And maybe I had. Scarlett, Lilly, Jay, even Malachi, and Vin—were they my people now?
