“Seriously, this shit needs to stop.”

Sarah was so hung over she wouldn’t even wake up. She just moaned and rolled across the bed. Empty bottles of liquor were around the sheets. The room stunk of stale air. The place was a mess with her thrown clothes and shoes.

“You’re a fucking leach, Sarah. I’m sick of it.”

She just moaned, rolled up into a ball.

“You’re going back to rehab.”

That got a reaction out of her. “No…I can’t go there.”

“Too fucking bad.” I grabbed her clothes and shoved them inside a suitcase. I didn’t bother folding anything. I just snatched whatever I could find. “This crap has completely ruined your life. I’m not putting up with it anymore. I don’t feel like I even have a sister anymore.”

She sat up, her hair a mess and her face lifeless. “River, no.”

“Yes.” I zipped up the bag then grasped her wrist. “Let’s go.”

“No.” Her voice came out stronger. “I’m not going.”

“Too damn bad.” I yanked her out of the bed.

She twisted out of my hold with a sudden burst of energy. “You can’t make me do anything.”

“Oh yeah, I can.” I grabbed her again and yanked her forward.

She fought me the entire way, kicking and screaming. I didn’t budge. She was doing this. I didn’t give a damn what she wanted. This was no way to live. It was pathetic and sad.

When I finally got her in the car she calmed down a little. But I think it was because she extinguished all the energy she had. Since she didn’t eat much, just drank liquor, she didn’t have adequate nutrition to put up a real fight.

I’d taken her to rehab clinics in the city but none of them seemed to work. I knew I needed to take her somewhere else, a place where she wouldn’t feel distracted. They had a fancy rehab facility in the Hamptons. It was expensive but it was isolated. Perhaps Sarah would have better luck there.

Jett had been blowing up my phone for days.

We need to talk, asshole.

Call me.

What the hell is going on with you and Waterfall?

River, talk to me.

It got to the point where I couldn’t ignore him anymore. He’d come to my apartment and almost broke down the door. I already knew what Jett would say, which was why I was dreading the conversation. I couldn’t put it off any longer. I’ll meet you at the bar.

About time, jackass.

I arrived at the bar ten minutes later, and Jett was already there. He sat at our usual booth with an untouched beer in front of him. He eyed me the moment he saw me, but he didn’t wave me over like he usually would. He just stared me down like he wanted to kick me in the nuts.

I slid into the booth across from him with a heavy sigh. I considered ordering a beer first since Jett was about to irritate me beyond belief. Silence ensued for minutes. He just stared at me. “You’ve been hounding my ass all week and now I’m finally here.
