Seething, I watch Malice drive off with Leigh. I get in my truck, ignoring Hannah and her curiosity. Sheâs been asking a shit ton of questions lately since that comment of Leighâs, the one demanding I put a sock on my snoring.
Between classes, Hannah pestered me for what happened the night Henry came home. Said Henryâs friend posted something on social media about drowning a rat in the Stevenson pool. As far as sheâs concerned, they donât have a rat problem.
I can think of a handful of rats Iâd like to exterminate. One of them being my dickwad teammate John for giving Leigh a hard time. The second rat is Malice for saying Leigh is his girl. Third rodent is Henry. No explanation needed. And, Iâve saved the best rat for last.
Iâm a rat bastard for not speaking up for Leigh. A coward for not owning up to my mistakes. Iâm also a sorry excuse of a leader.
As soon as John opened his mouth, I should have put a nail in that bastardly coffin and put him in his place for talking trash to a girl whoâs done nothing wrong other than to help a guy from failing his classes.
Hanging my head, I turn the ignition, shift the truck into gear, and make my way home.
On the driveway thatâll get me to the house, I make a U-turn and park my truck alongside the fence separating the two properties. I have the house to myself. Dad is MIA. He was gone when I woke this morning. During lunch period, he texted saying heâd be gone for the week.
Did he find out where Mom is staying? Is he with her now, talking sense into her? Itâs what I wanted to text back, but I kept my text short.
Me: K
Leighâs right. I have been distracted. Have been getting into fights. Anything to get rid of the ball of aggression building in me since I overheard my mom accusing Dad of cheating on her. Iâve been there, except me and Allison werenât marriage-vow serious.
Yeah, it pissed me off that she cheated. I shouldâve had the good sense to end things between us before it got to that point. Instead, I let her talk me into keeping our lifeless relationship going.
Mom and Dad, though?
They made vows.
I grab my backpack, get out of my truck, and donât bother locking the doors. Thereâs no chance anyone will steal the old girl. The only local thief I know of is home. I bypass knocking on the front door and go in through the open window.
âLeigh, if Malice is in there with you, you better tell him to scram or Iâll fuck up his pretty face.â I drop my backpack on the floor and climb inside, shutting the window behind me.
âSuch language.â She tsks. âHeâs not here.â
Sheâs sitting on the bed, looking sexy as fuck in a pair of those yoga pants girls love to wear and us guys love seeing them wear. On the front of her gray T-shirt are the words, âGot Buns?â Below the writing is a picture of Princess Leia.
