BLAKE’S LIVING ROOM IS SUN SOAKED and barely furnished. You’d assume with the money he makes from the fights, he’d be able to afford a kitchen table. A red couch is pushed up against the wall of his one-bedroom apartment, and a lamp is placed in the right corner next to it. I’m guessing his excuse of a couch is where my cousin has been sleeping. Blake lives alone, which is convenient for Kendrick, but two guys living by themselves also means dishes in the sink, unwashed floors, and empty beer bottles.

I’m so relieved when Kendrick walks out of the bedroom that I pull him into a hug. He isn’t as bad as I thought he would be; the dark bruises on his face and neck are still very much visible but they’re starting to fade. I’ve tried asking Blake why he’s not living with his parents, but he remains very secretive about it.

“I’m hungry,” Kendrick says, his hand on his stomach.

“Me too. You guys want to go get some food?” Blake asks.

“Sure. I just need to shower first.” Kendrick gets up and winces in pain. Tanner got him good. He enters the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.

Will turns to us. “We still haven’t found a girl to play Kendrick’s girlfriend.”

“I know,” Blake sighs. “We tried everything, but no one’s up to the task.”

“Well, then, we don’t have a choice.” Will shrugs, sliding his hand into his pocket to get his phone out.

“What are you doing?” I frown.

“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” he says, dialing a number.

I look at Alex and Blake in confusion. “What’s he doing?”

“Will, we can try again. You don’t have to do that.” Alex begs.

“We’ve been trying for days now. Plus, Maria already knows her. It’s perfect.”

I raise my voice. “Knows who?”

Alex scolds. “Kendrick made it clear he never wants to see her again.”

“Oh please. We both know they have that weird ‘I hate you but want you’ chemistry going on.” Will rolls his eyes.

“Who are you talking about?”

They remain silent like they’re scared to say her name.

“We’re calling Nicole.”

Cue the dramatic music.

Although I have absolutely no idea who this Nicole is, so it’s not dramatic at all.

“Kendrick’s ex-girlfriend,” Blake adds when he sees how clueless I am.

It all comes back.

“Oh my God, you mean…”

“Yeah, the one you think we’re talking about.”

Kendrick only had one serious girlfriend in his life, and it did not end well. Will puts the call on speaker.

Nicole picks up. “Hello?”

Will grins. “Hey, Nicky, it’s been a while.”

“For the love of God, what did Kendrick do this time?”

Will spends close to thirty minutes with her on the phone. He proceeds to explain it all to her, and even though she isn’t easy to convince, she gives in and accepts to help us out.

William hangs up, the guys glaring at him.

“Now, how are we going to tell Kendrick?”

I stop listening.

Hiring Kendrick’s ex-girlfriend—which ended with a horrible breakup—to hide from his mother that he got beat up and can barely walk?
