Tammy stood next to me looking confused as hell and then the class began to fill up. “I can’t stay here, I have to…” I felt like I was going to throw up and then the room started to spin.
I heard screams coming from somewhere moments before everything went black and then I hit the floor.

I am so fucking done. I was watching her class making sure that she obeyed me and didn’t go wandering around outside. I had the volume off because I was listening to the asshole tutor pontificating on something he knew nothing about.
I guess he figured since we were Hollywood kids that we were stupid. One of the perks of my new set-up is that I can study pretty much anything I want, as long as they’re creditworthy. I chose ancient Eastern philosophy because that's my shit. Most people never get beyond Confucius, not me. I read them all.
Anyway, I was watching her and listening to him when I saw the look on her face through the screen. I was out of my seat and out the door with my boys calling after me before I knew I was moving.
I hit her classroom running and she looked like something had sucked all the blood from her veins. I was already ready to kill something and then she had to go and say that stupid shit.
I’m strung too tight for this shit. If one more thing goes wrong I don’t know what the fuck I’m going to do, but some shit’s about to break.
I know she’s probably feeling like shit right now, serves her ass right. Let her marinate on that shit and then maybe I’ll forgive her for throwing everything I want to give her back in my face. Damn pain in the ass.
The dumb fuck tutor was still trying to find what I'd asked him about. Fucker probably hit up Google or some shit. Shane, Alex, and Jared were taking a wide path around me. The four of them had been in a huddle two minutes ago. I guess Track was chosen to approach the beast.

I need this shit. I wonder what the fuck they do when I’m not around? Oh yeah, his dad. Damn, I hate fighting a losing battle. Anything else I know I’d stand a chance, when it comes to his girl, I’m pretty sure that shit is dead. Fuck it!
“What the hell happened? Are you two fighting?” This wasn’t the first time I’d asked him this exact same thing since we left that room. The hardheaded bastard wasn’t talking but the rest of them still think I should approach.
“She didn’t mean that shit Jace, she’s just frustrated. Women get like that when you keep shit from them that’s all.” Still nothing.
My phone rang and I was going to ignore it until I saw that it was my girl. "What's up, baby? Calm down talk slow you’re hypervent…. What?” I looked at Jace as her broken words came through the phone.
"Be right there. Jace, we gotta go." I hung up the phone and headed for the door.
“What’s wrong with your girl?”
“It’s not mine, it’s…” He bounded past me and out the door. Yeah, he’s done alright.
The others followed after me and I filled them in. Jace had already taken the elevator so we hit the stairs running. No one told the tutor shit, but he could probably use a break after having his ass handed to him by a bunch of eighteen-year-olds.
Fucking Jace and fourth century Mencius. The fuck! I don’t think they even teach that shit in any school in the U.S. at any level. The tutor was shook and I was looking forward to round two, looks like we’re gonna have to wait on that though.
We got downstairs and followed the uproar that was Jace. “Sian, open your eyes. Open your eyes.” He kept saying those same words over and over.
We walked into the classroom to see the other students on the opposite wall while he sat on the floor with her head on his lap and her girls around them. The teacher was looking hopeless as hell at her desk. Jace probably scared her with his shit.
There were sirens heard pulling into the parking lot outside and minutes later the EMTs came in. Just as her eyes began to flutter. They tried taking her to put her on the stretcher after checking her over and I stepped in to avoid bloodshed.
“He’s gonna carry her, just follow so we can get her to the hospital, it’ll save time and your jobs.” He struggled to his feet with her clutched against his chest and I knew right now he couldn’t hear shit that anyone was saying to him so I didn’t even bother.
I looked back at the girls who were all wringing their hands with tears in their eyes. “Come!” They followed me and the boys outside, leaving the rest of the classroom in chaos.
