My mouth went dry as I fought to keep my wits about me. “Wh-what are you ta-talking ’bout?”
“I’ve been dropping you hints for months, but that fucking Jacob has your head filled with so much shit that you can’t see straight. Well, tonight, I’m taking what’s mine, what’s always been mine. I promised Skip I wouldn’t ever hurt you, so I didn’t give you very much of the drug, baby. Just enough to get you relaxed, so we can enjoy ourselves.”
My heart began pounding as the dizziness got worse. I tried to lift my arm, but it felt like dead weight. I closed my eyes and tried to make the uneasy feeling go away.
Opening my eyes, I looked around. It felt as if I was moving, but I wasn’t. I was in the backseat of Charlie’s truck. Suddenly, there was movement.
Oh God, it’s making me feel sick.
My head slowly turned, and I saw Charlie was over me.
“Baby, you feel just like I always imagined. God…so fucking good. Does it feel baby?”
Wait. Wh-what is happening?
In that moment, I realized we were having sex. I tried to lift my arms to push Charlie away. “St-stop. Pl-please stop. I-I don’t…please st-stop.”
“Relax, Skylar. I’ve wanted to fuck you for so long. Baby, you want this. You want this, Skylar. God, I’m so fucking horny. I want to fuck you all night.”
Tears rolled down my face while I shook my head. “No,” I whispered. “Stop!”
Charlie grabbed my hips and moved faster as I tried to make my body push him away.
“Don’t,” I cried out with all my might.
He continued to move as he buried his face into my neck. The sickness swept over my body as he whispered, “I wore a condom. No one will ever have to know, Skylar.”
Sobs racked my body as he pressed his lips to mine. I tried to turn my head to break the contact.
Numb. I felt numb as I looked back up at him. Tears were pouring out of my eyes.
How could he do this to me? He’s supposed to be my friend. He’s my brother’s best friend.
Charlie pulled out and pushed into me harder as he called out my name. “Oh, fuck yes, I’m coming.”
The only thing I could do was barely whisper, “Why?”
My body shut itself down, and everything went black.
CHAPTER TWO
* * *
Wyatt
“ARE YOU EXCITED to move to Texas?” Candace asked as I walked toward my locker.
“Yeah, I am. The town we are moving to is kind of cool, a little bigger than this one. I’m sure I’ll miss New Mexico though.”
Candace leaned against the locker next to mine. “What’s it called again?”
“Marble Falls.”
She scrunched up her nose. “Sounds like a little country town. Are you sure this is what you want?”
Grabbing my books for my last two classes, I shut the door and looked at her. “Well, Candace, first off, my dad is taking a job in Austin, so I had two options—stay here for my senior year and live with someone, or move to Marble Falls and play for a great high school football team.”
“But we have a great football team here. Why do you have to leave, Wyatt?”
The whine in her voice caused my skin to crawl.
Candace had been trying to hook up with me for the last year, and I’d kept repeating over and over that I was only interested in her friendship.
I blew out a frustrated sigh. “I want to be with my family, Candace. It’s that simple.”
Her lips formed a pout as she tilted her head. “So, after your party tonight, what do you say we find a private little area to…say good-bye?”
My eyes looked up to my cousin, Leanne, as she walked my way. The smile on her face told me she knew I was suffering with Candace.
“Hey, Wyatt. Can I talk to you really quick before the next class starts?” Leanne said.
Candace shot her a dirty look.
“Sorry, Candace. I’ll see you later.” Pushing off the locker, I walked toward Leanne’s class with her even though it was in the opposite direction of mine. “God, I owe you.”
Leanne giggled. “I saw your pained expression. What was she asking for this time?”
“Sex.”
“Oh, gross! Yuck. I’m forever going to be scarred, Wyatt!”
We stopped outside a classroom door as she gave me a sweet smile. “I’m going to miss you. It really sucks that we just started school, and you’re leaving.”
“Yeah, I know, but you can come to Marble Falls anytime you want!”
Leanne rolled her eyes. “Oh, yay. Go before you’re late.”
I kissed her on the cheek and whispered, “I owe you,” before I took off jogging down the hallway.
Two more hours, and I would be out of this place and onto a new chapter in my life. I couldn’t wait. Something told me my life was going to change and only for the better.
