Chapter 8

Adam

Who am I? What have I turned into? I feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience where I see a guy who looks eerily similar to me on top of a girl. He's thrusting into a brunette as she gasps in ecstasy, and my stomach knots at the sight. His brows are pinched, and he looks absolutely destroyed.

I pity the boy in front of me. Because I know that he's in the middle of throwing away the best thing that ever happened to him.

He's weak.

He's hurting.

He doesn't deserve her.

I roll off of Lana as soon as we're finished. She sighs softly before sliding closer and snuggling into my naked chest on the couch in my front room.

I feel dirty.

Like I need to shower and rinse my mouth out with bleach.

The high that usually comes after sex never arrives. Instead, I'm hit with an overwhelming sense of loathing.

Of hate.

Of revulsion.

Lana opens her mouth to say something, when there's a loud knock on my door.

I don't move a muscle as the pounding continues.

What the hell?

"Adam! It's me! Open up!"

Luke’s voice sends my heart into a panicked gallop against my ribs.

Shit.

"Adam! Seriously, man! It's about Liv!"

Her name alone hits me like a physical assault, making me gasp for some much-needed oxygen.

Lana lifts her head, looking down at me with her hazel eyes that are all wrong. They're not the stormy gray ones I love so much.

What the hell did I just do?

"You gonna get that?" Her voice reminds me of nails on a chalkboard, and I wonder how the hell I ended up in this position.

Luke has a key to our house. He’s had it since we were in middle school and promised to feed my pet fish when my family went on vacation.

It didn’t survive the week, but Luke kept the key anyway.

He rarely uses it because my mom would flip her shit if he walked in unannounced when she was home. But it doesn’t surprise me when I hear his keys jingle on the other side of the door.

The foreboding feeling in my gut is impossible to ignore.

My body feels as though it weighs a thousand pounds as I slowly sit up. Grabbing a maroon throw blanket from the back of the couch, I wrap it around my waist before walking toward the door. Each step feels like I'm inching my way to the guillotine. My hands tremble as I watch the deadbolt flip and the door handle twist.

Luke shoves it open before stalking inside like a wild beast.

When his gaze collides with mine, I know I've screwed up. Not like I didn’t know beforehand, but still. The damage I've caused is so brutal that it'll be impossible to repair.

Luke looks around the entry way in confusion before taking notice of mine and Lana's clothes strewn across the tile.

Luke's voice is eerily calm when he asks, "Where's your mom?"

"She's out."

His jaw clenches as he scans my naked chest. "Anything else you wanna say?"

My nostrils flare. Maybe it's the alcohol pulsing through my veins, but I'm not ready to admit I'm in the wrong right now, so I go on the offensive.
