We’re all playing Call of Duty in the rec room when Lars gets a call from his step-sister about some family emergency. He leaves and tells us he’ll be back for the party. There’s an abundant amount of tension sitting between Tommy and I, and I wanna reassure him that we’re cool, but the good thing about these guys is, we don’t need words to show our loyalty. And the truth is, if I had to trust one of these guys with Marni, it would be Tommy. He has that empathy that most people do. He was raised by good people, and for the most part, he makes good choices, aside from running around with us since he was six years old, vandalizing private and public property with paint, and stealing glances at his dad’s wife.

Grabbing the metal tin on the end table, I pull out a joint and spark it up. After a long drag, I pass it to Tommy in an attempt to break the ice. “You going to school tomorrow?” Smoke rolls out of my mouth and I cough on the last exhale.

He smirks. “Guess we’ll see what the night brings.” Taking a drag, he passes it back to me then begins cursing at the game.

Tommy is passive aggressive when it comes to our vile ways because he knows what a mess we all are. I’m pretty sure he pities our past and that’s why he’s always stuck by us and defended our actions.

We continue to puff and pass and I use this opportunity to do a little digging. “Now that it’s just us, you ready to tell me why you’re so damn protective of her?”

“I’m not protective of her. I just think you and Zed both have some seriously fucked up motives. I told you both that in front of her house and when you and Zed made the deal.”

“Yet, you agreed to it?”

“What choice did I have? We stick together, right? You’ll do the same for me when the time comes.” He looks over at me, and I nod in agreement.

I’d absolutely do the same damn thing for him.

Tommy drops the controller on the seat then sticks the roach end of the joint in the tin, before smothering it with the lid. “And why are you so protective over her? You sprouting the feels for this girl?”

Laughter in the form of air blowing out of my nose has me shaking my head. “Not a chance in hell. You’ve seen her. She’s a handful. Besides, relationships aren’t my forte.”

“Probably for the best. No girl would ever put up with your ass. Besides, she’s only temporary. When this is all said and done, she’ll never forgive any of us.”

When it’s all said and done, she just might burn the fucking house down with all of us inside.
