Me: Waiting on deets, man.

Simon: Just waking up. Not much to tell. Craig’s dad showed up and took us home before Officer Hard Ass arrived. Jonah got stung. Parents made him spend the night at the station. Think he’s grounded forever. You seen Sky?

Me: Looking for her now. Expect a visit from Malloy. He’s doing rounds.

Simon: Thanks for the heads-up. See you Monday.

I sign off and slip my phone away, wondering if I should send Jonah a sympathy text. But I kind of want to talk to Skylar first.

Walking past Grayson, who of course is playing on his phone, I pick up that the dads are talking about politics, so I quickly sidestep that one and head into the den where I find Skylar curled up on the couch. She’s squished right into the corner, her knees tucked against her chest. I don’t think she’s ever looked so small…or awful. Her cheeks are pale, her eyes puffy and red. For once, she hasn’t dressed up for the occasion and is sitting there in pale blue sweats and a baggy shirt that obviously belongs to her dad.

“Hey,” I softly greet her. “You okay?”

Glancing at me, she swipes a tear off her cheek and swallows. “I feel like shit.”

I wince and walk down the two steps into the room. Taking a seat beside her, I follow her gaze out the window. Like us, Skylar’s house looks out over the water. The den has one narrow tall window that goes from floor to ceiling. A slice of blue to break up the solid, pale gray wall.

“How much trouble are you in?” I softly ask.

She hitches her shoulder.

“How bad’s the headache?”

She scoffs and slowly blinks. “Bad.”

“Do you…uh…remember much about last night?”

Her slight shoulders ping tight, her entire body tensing beside me. “I was pretty drunk,” she hedges.

I can’t help wondering if she remembers more than she’s willing to say. If she recalls dancing half-naked, making out with another guy, cheating on Craig. I want to know where she disappeared to and just how hot and heavy she got with crew cut.

Does she know Craig’s expecting makeup sex, or a blowjob at the very least?

I grimace, hating the guy. Skylar shouldn’t be with him. I open my mouth to tell her, but wonder if now is the best time. She seems kind of fragile, which is so unlike her. Does she really need to know that her boyfriend’s a complete dick too?

Craig would kick my ass if I started meddling in his relationship with Skylar.

But that shouldn’t matter.

“Hey, Sky…” I start slow, trying to figure out the best way to word things.

“How’d it go with Sav last night? I haven’t heard from her this morning. Her dad probably let her sleep in, unlike mine,” she grumbles. “Stupid parents woke me as soon as they walked in the door.”

There’s a harsh bitterness to her tone, and I can easily sense that her mood won’t allow for any extra conflict.

I’ll talk to her about Craig tomorrow, when she’s feeling better.
