Carter – Warn her about his sexual activities.

Garrick – Send her medication.

Ethan – Enroll her in an insane asylum.

Talia – That girl is a menace.

Mommy-kins – She is not.

Talia – Umm. Yes. She is. She’s the one who was found with her pants around her ankles in the coach’s office.

Mommy-kins –*gasp*

Garrick – Heard about that.

Ethan – Why I said what I said.

Carter – How much do you know Ethan?

Ethan – I know that some waitress told Harlee that she was going to be your wife.

Carter – Fuck me. Not this again.

Talia – Don’t worry. Harlee already knows.

Carter – Fuck.

Mommy-kins – Language.

Carter – Yes, ma’am.

Mommy-kins – She told me to tell you to tell her that you will pick her up at seven on Friday.

Garrick – He can’t. He’s helping me at the house.

Mommy-kins – Well. Darn.

I clicked out of that thread and shot a text to Garrick.

Me – Thanks, G.

Garrick – Got your back, lil bro.

And to make matters believable, at six I headed over to Garrick and Tatum’s house.

But instead of helping them, I took Sage out back and played with her, while Garrick and Tatum had some time to themselves.

There were sounds I didn’t want to hear.

Sounds that I could never unhear.

And just to be a shithead, I winked at Tatum an hour later and said, “So, how hard was he pounding into you?”

I laughed as I raced out of their house with Garrick on my heels.

He caught up to me as I stopped at my truck.

“Gotta head out in the morning,” I told him.
