Shoving my hands into my pockets, I follow the trail around the lake. I want to kiss her, ask her to be mine, and tell her about the thoughts in my head. I want to tell her she's the brightest star I've ever seen—that her thirteen freckles form the constellation I love right there on her face.

But I don't want to cross the line, either. No matter how incompatible she is with Jarod, I don't want to intervene until it's over––it's none of my business––I know that. And it's been hard.

Shaking my head, I follow the sound of the popping fire. I suppose I should head over to the guys rather than go to the house. The last thing I want is for them to get the wrong idea about Destiny and me––I don't want to cause her trouble. I'm already getting suspicious glances thrown my way.

At the sound of hushed laughter, I pause.

"Are you fucking serious, Zach?" Ella says.

I pick up the pace. Ethan and Kevin are on the ground, passed out. Zach is laughing, slumped over in the grass with Ella hovering over him, her foot on his shoulder like she's about to shove him down. Jarod is nowhere in sight.

The fire crackles, illuminating the party scene before me. White lines of coke are scattered on the picnic table. I haven't been gone for more than half an hour, and I come back to this? What the hell are these guys doing?

Ella pushes Zach with her foot, wearing such a deadly scowl I'm surprised he doesn't drop dead. Instead, he tumbles into the grass, laughing like she said the funniest thing ever.

"Oh, come on," Zach says with a loopy smile. "It's just cocaine and a lil' molly, dolly. You won't kiss me because of a little powder?"

"No, asshole. And don't ever rub your dick on me in front of your friends," she snaps.

I accidentally snap a twig underfoot, and Ella turns to me.

"Can you blame me when you're so sexy, babe?" Zach asks.

I clear my throat, not wanting to stir up any drama. But if Zach tries anything, all bets are off. "Hey," I say loudly to get his attention.

Zach's motions are so slow they're practically laughable. He squints, almost like he doesn't expect me to be here. "Hey, Carter."

"Looks like we should all call it a night," Ella spits. "I'm going in."

Zach wraps a hand around her ankle. "Already?"

"Don't be a party pooper," Kevin says from his slumped-over state by the fire. "Have some. This is the good shit." Lost in his delusions, he laughs as he stumbles up and makes his way to the table. "Let's talk." He drags his body onto the bench. "We barely even got to know one another."

"I'll talk when you're sober," I say. Zach still has his hand around Ella's ankle, sweating profusely. I eye Ella, giving her a sign that I'll jump to her defense if she needs it. "You want to go in, Ella?"

"Yeah. I'm tired. Let's—"

"No, no, no!" Zach blurts, sweat trickling down his neck.
