AFTERMATH

Silas drove the rest of the way home. A couple more cop cars passed us on the way but they didn’t stop and Silas kept at the speed limit.

North was cursing in the back seat, but with his hands tied, he couldn’t lunge after us anymore, so there was some benefit.

When we finally got back to Sunnyvale Court, Silas pulled into Nathan’s drive. Kota’s car wasn’t parked at his house, so he must have still been with Victor. I wondered if he had an easier night and almost wished I’d insisted on going with him.

By that time, North had quieted. Now he mostly just giggled and rambled off under his breath. I was wondering if he was losing his voice.

Nathan got out, and Silas opened North’s door.

Nathan whistled at me. “Peanut,” he said, flashing keys in my direction. He chucked them at me. “Open the front door.”

I ran ahead of them, trying to find his house key in the near dark. I was shaking where I was standing, tired. I pushed Nathan’s door open, seeking out a light switch to turn on.

“Out of the way,” Silas thundered at me. Nathan and Silas were struggling with half carrying North. North was grunting like an animal, dropping his feet down and trying to launch himself off of his friends.

I backed up, unsure which direction to go. I ran for Nathan’s kitchen. Nathan opened a door next to the laundry room, revealing a second bedroom. There was a large waterbed in the middle. The floors were wood, bare. The air inside was stale, and I suspected it was his father’s bedroom.

They planted North on the bed. North rolled onto his stomach against the short wave of the water.

“Don’t fall off,” Silas warned. “I’m not picking your ass back up.”

“Fuck you,” North slurred into the pillows. His eyes half opened, and narrowed on me. “Sang,” he called. “Baby, untie me.”

“Get out of here, Sang,” Nathan said, nudging me out.

“No,” North wailed. “Sang,” he called louder. “Sang! Come back.”

I cringed. Hearing his pleading for me made me feel so sorry for him. He was sounding so sad and lonely now.

Silas followed us, closing the door. Nathan and Silas lumbered toward the kitchen. I followed.

“Will he be okay?” I asked. “Aren’t we supposed to keep an eye on him?”

“Let him sleep it off,” Silas said.

“I’m going to bed,” Nathan said. “I’m done.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Silas opened the front door. “I’m going to lock up. And I'll call Dr. Green. Be right back.”

Nathan turned to me. “Tired?”

I slumped. Yes! I was tired. I could have slept for weeks. “Please tell me we don’t have to do that again.”

Nathan laughed. He ducked into me, scooping me up and carried me down the hall toward his bedroom. “No more party closets for you, Peanut.”

♥♥♥

The moment I touched down on Nathan’s bed, and warmed up under his blankets, I was dead asleep. I didn’t feel Nathan climbing in on one side, or Silas getting in behind me. The bed was big enough to fit the three of us if I kept myself thin in the middle.
