Chapter 12

Xander

“You’ve been acting like a real ass lately,” Asher says, taking a long gulp of water from his bottle. “Ever since that girl showed up on the scene the first day of school. Are you gonna tell us what’s going on with her? Why she’s got your dick in such a twist?”

“Lemme guess. You tried to nail her and she kicked your ass to the curb because she found out about your little cock, right?” Chase snickers and shoots a spray of water into his mouth.

I mop my sweaty face with the edge of my tank top and bounce the basketball a few times before looking at my friends.

Friends. Interesting choice of words.

True, I have nobody closer to me than Asher or Chase. But they don’t know me, not the real me, anyway. Not the guy I was before…the guy I was with Char, the one without a black soul and red-tinged future.

Nobody else knew that guy, and nobody has known him since I pretty much locked him down the night before she left for London.

The monster who remains is the one they all see.

And fear.

I quirk a brow as I regard them both. “And you’d know all about little cocks, right?”

Chase rolls his eyes. “We’re just concerned, Xan. I mean, you’re usually a prick, but lately it’s been more so.” He gives my shoulder a nudge. “Is Melina not giving you the ass anymore? Maybe you need to pound her a little, work out all of the crap festering in your head.”

“I hit it plenty, thanks.” I let out a snort. “Getting laid isn’t the problem, but I appreciate the concern.”

They exchange a look before Asher speaks up. “You guys used to be friends, didn’t you?”

My nostrils flare. “How do you know that?”

He shrugs. “After that whole thing with the locker, I overheard a couple of people talking. Said something about her leaving in the middle of sophomore year and that you guys used to be close.”

I rake a hand through my damp hair and pace toward the basketball hoop. “It’s none of your goddamn business, Asher!”

“Look, Xander,” Chase says, grabbing hold of my arm as I stalk past him. I shake off his fingers and root him to his spot on the concrete with a death glare.

He backs away, his hands up in surrender. “Don’t shut us out, man. We’re only trying to help. Shit got crazy last night. It looked like you were going to tear her apart at the club. If her friend hadn’t shown up, what the hell were you gonna do next?”

“And today at the lockers, you had that same look on your face. We know you’re a sadistic fuck, but with a girl? What the hell happened?”

My breathing hitches, my pulse throbbing hard against my neck. I want to lash out, I want to claw their fucking faces off right now for questioning me. They think they know me. Ha! What a joke! They know nothing! They have no clue about the things I’ve done, the blood I’ve spilled, the lives I’ve taken.
