CHAPTER SIXTEEN

ASPEN

I’m pretty positive that I’m the only sober person at this party right now. Delilah invited me along and I thought it was worth attempting to get out of the house for the night. Now that I’m here, I honestly wish I wouldn’t have even bothered. Delilah has been working part-time at the local hospital and one of the guys she met invited us here.

There isn’t a single person I recognize here, but Delilah doesn’t seem to mind. She introduced me to a few of her friends from work. This is the first time she’s hung out with any of them outside of work and with the way she’s hanging all over Carter, I can see that she has ulterior motives.

After things didn’t work out with Alexander and she pretty much told him to get lost, it didn’t take her long to move on to the next guy that showed her some fraction of attention. I can’t say I fully blame her for it. Delilah craves male attention, probably from her lack of having a father present in her life.

And honestly… sometimes that attention is nice for anyone. Delilah’s only problem is she usually falls quickly and when she does, she falls hard. And after everything comes crashing down, I’m the only one who is there to piece her back together again.

Delilah saunters over to me as I drop down onto an empty spot on the couch. “You look miserable,” she slurs, her eyebrows tugging together in disapproval. “Did you want to leave? I can see if one of the guys can give you a ride.” She calls out to someone named Leo and waves him over.

I shake my head at her. “I’m pretty sure no one is really in any condition to drive right now.”

Leo walks over to us, looking like he stepped right off the front of a GQ magazine. He smiles at me, revealing perfect teeth that only money can buy. “Hey, I’m Leo,” he says, extending his arm for me to shake his hand.

“Aspen,” I tell him, slicing my eyes to Delilah’s as she shrugs. “I don’t need a ride.”

Leo drops down onto the couch beside me, his cologne overwhelming my senses. Delilah lifts her eyebrows at me, a smirk playing on her lips before she winks and leaves the two of us alone. I’m uncomfortable next to him and shift my weight nervously as he takes a sip of whatever is in his plastic cup.

“So, are you pre-med too?” he asks me, his gray eyes burning with curiosity as he turns to face me. “I know Delilah from the hospital. I’m finishing up my first year of med school this year.”

My eyes widen, my curiosity piqued. “Yeah, I am. What specialty are you interested in?”

Leo smiles, taking another sip of his drink. “I want to be an orthopedic surgeon, but I plan on exploring my other options before completely committing.” His eyes search mine, a fire burning in his irises. “Have you decided on
