When her boyfriend chooses the cheerleader over her, a young woman decides to get even by going after the one person he values most: his best friend. What starts as payback soon turns into a marriage that forces everyone to reckon with loyalty, jealousy, and who really gets the last laugh.
You didn't like her either, did you? Hearing that, I bit Logan's waist. He twitched hard. You good, man?
Leg cramp. I'm fine. Whatever. I'm gonna use the bathroom and head over to Chloe's place.
I heard his footsteps cross the room. The bathroom door opened. Then it hit me. My wet socks were hanging on the towel rack.
I held my breath. Two minutes. Three. flushed. The sink ran. Then the bathroom door opened again. Tyler came out with a smirk on
face. So, our great captain has a girl hidden in his bed, huh? None of your damn business, Tyler. Tyler laughed, grabbing his jacket. Just in case. Don't make trashy jokes about girls, Whoa. You're actually serious about her? Yeah. I am. If the light were on, Tyler would have seen the heavy vein bulging at his temple, how much it was costing him to stay still.
All right, then. I won't cock-bought you. I'm staying out tonight. Tyler gave Logan's bed one more knowing look. He didn't say anything, but the smirk on his face said Get some sleep. Where are you going?
Smoke. Then sleep on the floor. He was about to walk away. I let out a loud, body-shaking sneeze. Logan stopped. He turned back to look at me. I think I'm catching a cold. My head hurts.
He looked at me for a long moment. Let go. I'll get you medicine. Avery. His voice was quieter now.
Tyler's already gone. You can drop the act now. Ladder. What?! You don't have to keep playing this game. He's not here to see it.
You called me because you were going to jump into that lake, weren't you?
