After our talk, Callum gently leads me between two houses and out of view from the party, and we settle ourselves in the grass between two big houses. Callum’s brows furrow when he looks at me and leans in, kissing my cheek.

“I gotta-gotta…” His lips roll together when he stands, gesturing to his house down the block. Swallowing hard, his face flushes. “Go to the bathroom,” he mumbles with embarrassment, shoving his hands in his pockets. “You want to come with or….”

I smile at him and shake my head. “I’ll stay here and away from the predators,” I say, pointing in the party's direction.

He nods. “Stay and be safe. He…he looked at you with so much hate. I kind of wanted-wanted to punch him.” I smile even wider at the imagery of his fist hitting Judge Drake's face.

“Don’t mess up your hands,” I say, shaking my head.

Callum nervously waves as he jogs toward his house with urgency, leaving me to fend for myself. I pull out my new phone, enjoying the privacy the homes provide for me, and scroll SpaceFace aimlessly, looking for anything to entertain me while I wait for the assfaces—totally renaming their band that whenever they win the Battle of the Bands—who left me here to fend for myself. Seriously? How can they just walk away with their heads hung low and their puppy tails tucked, leaving me up against the damn lions circling me. My stomach churns with the similarities between them and Van. I mean, Van never would have brought me here in the first place, but still. He left me because his mean daddy said so. Oh well, I’m better off without him.

"River."

I sigh to myself, leaning my head back against the cool siding of the house. Speak of the devil. It’s like I summoned him to join me in my hiding place. I squint, looking up toward the towering figure looming above me.

"Van," I say in an equally ominous voice, shoving my phone into my pocket. To equal the playing field, I jump to my feet and wipe away the grass clippings from my ass. "What brings you to my little oasis?" I ask with scathing sarcasm dripping from my tongue.

He rolls his eyes toward the sky, shaking his head like he can't with me. "I saw you got cornered by my dad, and I wanted to make sure you were okay." He swipes his foot along the manicured grass, looking at me coyly through his eyelashes.

Fucking boys and their beautiful eyelashes. How'd they get so damn blessed? And me. I have to apply fakes to achieve what they get just by waking up and greeting the sun.

I scoff. "Okay? No, I'm not. Your dad made me lose my appetite." I shake my head in disgust, mourning the food I had to throw away. Ugh. The feeling of his slimy fingers wrapped around my arm linger on my flesh, and I want to hurl. No one should touch anyone without permission.

He snorts. "Sorry about him.
