“Perhaps Owen received’t be too mad?” Eric tries to recommend, knocking on the door just a few instances.

It takes a minute earlier than the door opens, revealing Sebastian. “After all, it’s you,” I mumble, his eyes widening in shock.

He appears at Eric instantly for solutions. “What the hell occurred to her?” Bash calls for. Shit, I need to look horrible if Sebastian is worried.

“An excessive amount of to drink. Her telephone died, so I figured I ought to convey her dwelling earlier than one thing occurred to her.” Bash steps backward, letting Eric information me into the condominium.

I see Owen sitting on the sofa, and his jaw drops on the identical time the spins begin once more. “Get her to the lavatory. She appears like she’s going to hurl any second.”

I cowl my mouth with my hand and make a break for the lavatory alone, sticking my head in the bathroom simply in time. I really feel depressing proper now. I ought to have simply gone dwelling after Landon tried to drag his stunt. Why do males should make the whole lot so fucking sophisticated?

Finally, I pull myself off the ground to face the lectures I’m optimistic are ready for me. I don’t need to take a look at Sebastian proper now, so I hope he went to his room.

Besides Sebastian is ready for me within the kitchen. “Feeling higher?”

“Go away me alone,” I retort, undoubtedly not feeling higher. I don’t really feel like I’m going to throw up once more.

Is he some sadist, getting off on my ache? I can’t consider Sebastian. Is that this simply satisfying for him? Then, he surprises me by filling a glass of water and handing it to me.

I take a look at it hesitantly. “What’d you do to it? Spike it with a laxative?”

“It’s simply water. I do know higher than to mess with you the way in which you’re proper now. For all I do know, you can throw up on me in retaliation.”

I take a small sip earlier than I begin to tilt once more. Undoubtedly can’t stand. The ground appears protected. I slide down, leaning in opposition to the cupboards. “Thanks for the water.” I sound like I’m thanking him for killing my canine.

Bash appears down at me curiously. “What occurred tonight?” It’s good he’s asking as an alternative of assuming the worst of me.

“I didn’t plan on getting this drunk, I swear. I had simply sufficient to have time by different folks’s requirements, after which fucking Landon needed to smash it.”

Holy shit, I really feel like I’m burning up. I shrug out of Eric’s jacket, making a observe that I want to scrub it.

“What’d he do?”

I give Sebastian a bizarre look as a result of I’m drunk, however I’m not silly. “Why are you being so good to me? Shouldn’t you be yelling at me?”

His alluring lips tick upward in a ghost of a smile. I like his smile. “Thalia, I’m good. You’re all the time too busy calling me an asshole or driving me loopy together with your lack of clothes to appreciate it. I don’t must yell at you as a result of I feel you already really feel shitty sufficient.”

“You’re not good to me. I all the time do the improper factor and make you mad.”

Bash lowers himself to the bottom diagonally from me. “I’m sorry. It’s onerous for me to be round you,” he says rigorously, and I don’t need to hear anymore.

“Yeah, I’m conscious. I’m Owen’s child sister you’ve been caught with since we had been youngsters.”

“That’s not it,” he says vaguely, providing no additional rationalization. “What occurred with Landon?”

I drink the water Bash gave me, selecting to not name him out on the topic change. “I used to be dancing, or perhaps I used to be going to get a drink. I don’t know. Landon caught me and requested if something was taking place between you and me.” I look over at Sebastian to see if there’s one thing on his face that can inform me what he’s considering. If he’s stunned by Landon’s query, he doesn’t present it. No matter. I do know what Bash is considering. I ruined any likelihood of there being one thing extra between us the second I opened my silly mouth that evening. I advised Landon the reality. There isn’t something greater than this recreation we’re taking part in. Sebastian and I are nothing.

“Landon needed to go someplace to speak as a result of he needed to ask me one thing. I reduce him off and stated I couldn’t. He tried once more, and I stated I wanted him to be my good friend solely. He was simply so good about it, letting me go. Then I proceeded to get completely trashed over the very fact I in all probability simply ruined my friendship with him. Nice evening total.”

“What’s improper with him being good?”

“As a result of I don’t need good, Bash,” I admit softly, closing my eyes. I’m nonetheless too drunk to have this dialog.

Nonetheless, in typical Owen style, he seems earlier than one in every of us can say one thing I’m positive we’ll remorse. “What had been you considering?” he calls for, his voice chilly.

“That I needed to be a standard twenty-year-old. You’re not Dad, so don’t attempt to act like him.”

“I wouldn’t should act prefer it when you didn’t come dwelling utterly hammered, virtually being carried by one in every of my teammates as a result of you possibly can’t stroll. What the hell, Lia? What if Eric wasn’t there? The place was Vera? Landon? They simply allow you to go off by yourself?” he presses, and my head hurts on the considered going through Landon after tonight.
