I find Rylee pacing between two cars. She keeps tapping her phone on her palm and glancing behind her to the faint glow of the bonfire.

If Jax did anything to her…

Her attention snaps toward me when the headlights from my car flash in her direction. There isn’t a moment’s hesitation before she’s jogging to where I park where the trees give way to an open field.

“Sorry if I woke you,” she says the second the door is open. “Didn’t want to call Will because I would never hear the end of it.”

“What happened?” I ask when her butt hits the seat.

“Tell you on the drive. We’re cutting close to curfew.”

Nodding, I pull out on the darkened street, but I can’t stem the worry that something bad happened. When Zoe told me about the stupid party yesterday morning, I knew nothing good would come of it.

Hookup party. That’s what Zoe called it. No wonder Jax invited her.

After reaching the main road I shoot a glance at Rylee who was busy twisting one of the silver bracelets on her arm around and around. The silence is oppressive. Suffocating. I can’t take it anymore.

“What happened?”

“I don’t…know.”

What? “Something obviously happened because you called me to pick you up instead of having lover-boy take you home.”

She glares at me and after a deep breath, pivots in the seat, tucking one leg under so she can face me. “Let’s just say it was the weirdest party I’ve ever been to.”

I swear if she doesn’t explain I’m going to flip out.

“It started off fine. We showed up. People drank. Malcolm doesn’t like me but that’s whatever. But then Jax got super handsy, much to Haylee’s irritation.” She flicks a curl over her shoulder and reaches out to fiddle with the temperature knob. “What’s up with that, anyway? They break up and hook up more than people in soaps. It’s as if she considers him as property. I’m surprised she didn’t pee on his leg so—”

“Rylee!” I grip the wheel so hard the leather flexes. “What made you call me?”

“Right.” She slumps into the seat, resting her head on the window. “So he gets all handsy and I freak out because hello, I’ve had one boyfriend and I’m not much into PDA. So I bail and say I gotta pee and this dude points to a tree.” She catches my raised eyebrow. “Yeah. He expected me to pop a squat. Thankfully I didn’t actually have to go. So I take a breather and when I come back everyone is grinding and sucking face and I see Ava going to town on his crotch. So I called you.”

“He brought you and hooked up with another girl?”

“Well, I didn’t stay long enough to witness the act, but yeah, I’m assuming.”

“You seem very chill about this.”

She shrugs and reaches to undo the straps on her shoes. “We’re not official. Technically he can do whatever he wants.”

This girl…

“So you’re totally fine?”

“Better her than me. I’ve never been into the whole voyeur thing. Getting it on in the middle of the field isn’t really my style.
