Once I finally got Finn out the door, I was able to dodge the bullet—I called my brother—for a total of twelve minutes and thirty-seven seconds. I would have lasted longer, but I’d hid in the bathroom to avoid having to tell him about Dalt. I needed the time to compose myself, but after seven of those twelve minutes and thirty-seven seconds, he threatened to remove the door from the hinges if I didn’t come out. I called his bluff. Right up until I heard the high-pitched sound of a drill.

“Stand down, Matt,” I said, coming out with my arms raised, my tone nowhere nearly as playful as my words. “I’ll tell you what happened.” I led him out to our cramped living room, indicating he should sit on the sofa while I pulled up a couple square feet of carpeting, sitting uncomfortably on the floor at his feet.

“It was Dalt who came by,” I said softly, wringing my hands together again. Matt was likely to try to go after him on the track, and he didn’t need to invite the kind of viciousness my ex was clearly capable of.

“What did the little fucker want? To get back together? You know he’s banging Sandra Carson, right?”

“I don’t care who he’s banging. I’m not getting back together with him.”

“So, you told him to take a hike?” My brother looked at me, impressed.

“I tried, but...” I trailed off, cringing. I hated my brother knew I starred in my very own sex tape, but to have to bring it up again was even more mortifying. “When I refused to get back together with him, he demanded cash to keep quiet about the video.”

I scrunched my eyes closed and waited for the bomb to explode. When I only heard labored breathing, I cracked one eye open to see a red-faced Matt, his chest heaving.

“Please, tell me you didn’t give him any money or say you would,” he finally replied, lowering his brow and leveling his gaze on me.

“No, of course not, but he walked away, still demanding it.”

“Wait, Hawkins went out there. Does he know?” Matt’s eyes went wide with anxiety. I couldn’t blame him. I was an embarrassment.

“No, and he can never find out. We need to pay Dalton whatever he asks.”

“That brings me to my next question. How much does he want?”

“Thirty-thousand.”

“Dollars?” Matt shouted as he leapt to his feet, the bomb I’d been anticipating starting to tick faster toward detonation. “Kenni, that’s all the money we have left. I’m doing okay this season so far, but you know we have to watch our pennies.”

“I know, I know. This just can’t get out, though. You don’t need the shame on the circuit, and I... I want to see if things can work out with Finn.” Again, I cringed, waiting for my brother’s booming voice to echo around the room.

“Are you high? I swear, you have the worst judgment, you know that? First making that godforsaken video with Simmons…” Leaning toward me, his face right in mine, he began to count on his fingers.
