Chapter 13

Lindsey

After my call to Dimitris, I felt better. Gone was the boulder that made it harder to breathe. Gone were the doubts that had driven me insane with worry. I was genuinely happy and truly smiling when I got to Carter’s place, which was a five-minute walk from my own house.

The moment I got there, I realized Brody hadn’t been joking when he had said he invited a bunch of people to “entertain” my brother while recuperating.

“Didn’t anyone have anywhere to get to? It’s Christmas Eve, after all,” I said out loud as my eyes scanned the sea of people.

When Brody had said “people over,” he might as well have said he was throwing a party. Thank the heavens there was no alcohol in sight, though I could smell weed in the air.

Carter better not be indulging in some ganja goodness, or I will seriously embarrass him right in front of all these unfamiliar faces.

Navigating through the human traffic was difficult since a few people were blowing bubbles, a couple were throwing metallic petals in the air, and on top of this mass chaos, they were playing suck and blow with what looked liked Brody’s credit card. Through it all, my brother wasn’t hard to spot since he sat in the far right corner of the room, resting on a chaise lounge while girls flirted with him. He appeared tired, though he seemed like he was having the time of his life.

Once I reached him, I made a dramatic eye roll before taking a seat next to him, shooing the little ratchets as I did so. Well, there is still some bitchiness in me, I happily thought as I grinned at Carter.

“Is this Brody’s version of recuperation? I don’t think the doctor would approve.”

He smirked just as someone came over to give him a high five. “You look more miserable than I do, and that’s sayin’ something, sis,” he addressed me right after the guy left, giving me a raised brow.

Shrugging, I whispered, “It’s nothing.” I broke eye contact and started looking over the sea of people. As usual, it didn’t take long until I found Cooper, a guy I used to date to pass the time, flirting with some poor freshman in the background.

“You’re sad he left, aren’t you?” Carter kept on yapping, not letting the subject of my obvious misery go. “Well, what the heck, why don’t you go after your dude?”

Easy for him to suggest, but not that easy to do. Well, not really.

“It’s complicated.” I hoped those two significant words would explain themselves, but nope, no such luck.

Apparently, Carter thought my love life needed to be pried into and discussed right there, out in the open, where people were celebrating whatever in their high mental state of ganja goodness.

“Not really, not to me anyway. And, if you tell me the reason you’re staying here is because of me, I’m telling you you’re not needed here. As you can see, I’m well taken care of. Don’t let these things hold you back.
