Spider

“YOU SAID YOU’D LEAVE HER alone,” my father yells as we face off against each other in the kitchen of the flat. He glares at me as he paces around the penthouse. I sit on a barstool with no shirt on, drinking the watery Jack and Coke Sebastian left out for me before everything went to hell.

I set the glass down and rake a shaking hand through my hair, tugging on the ends. Fuck. I really screwed things up now.

Rose has already left, whisked away by Anne as soon as she threw her clothes on.

God, her face.

It was white as a sheet.

She was mortified . . . and calling my name.

What a cluster fuck.

“You’re a bloody liar who can’t keep his hands to himself,” Father tosses out as I take another drink and slam my glass on the counter.

“You can leave any time,” I grind out.

“This is my penthouse.” His lips tighten. “Whether it’s women or drugs or booze, you always take too much.” He shakes his head. “By the way, the housekeeper found the coke you left in the bathroom upstairs. You go too far, Clarence. Too far.”

“Piss off.” I scrub my face.

Rose.

That’s all I can see.

Her face. Those eyes that look at me like I am a fucking hero.

Far from it—I am a goddamn mess.

I’m not fit for anyone—not like this, not really.

I clench my fists. What have I gotten her into?

I need a bump.

I need a hit.

I need anything.

I need Rose.

My heart cracks, fucking breaks in my chest, and I want to rip open my body and yank it out. Instead, I jerk up and pace around the room, opting to make myself another drink and suck it down. Father watches me warily, his lips flat.

Sebastian walks in the door and comes to an abrupt halt, a look of confusion on his face as he takes in the scene. His gaze sweeps the place, looking for Rose. He showed up here yesterday to check on me and convince me to pack my bags and come to LA with him now instead of later.

Father turns his gaze to him, his voice lower than when he spoke to me. “This is a private conversation, Sebastian.”

Sebastian takes one look at my face and stands his ground. “I understand, but I think I’ll stay, sir. Spider may need me.”

I exhale. Sebastian is the best mate I have. He’s always been right here with me since prep school days, picking up the pieces. I don’t deserve him either. I don’t deserve shit.

“He walked in on us.”

Sebastian’s face pales. “Shit.” Ignoring my father, he comes over and puts a hand on my shoulder. “You good?”

I nod my head.

Then I shake it. “No.” My stomach hurts, and the look on Rose’s face when she walked out wrecked me. I clench my fists together and rub my eyes. “I fucked up. I need to go find Rose.”

A long breath comes from Sebastian. “Spider . . . dude . . . think long and hard about that.
