      Hellish
      &quot;I hope that son of a bitch doesn't live to see another day. God, I wish I fucked him up some more, Christ sake I've never been this fucking angry.&quot;
      &quot;Ezra,&quot; Jade's soft voice spoke in a calm manner. &quot;Please, calm down. You're fuming and it's perfectly understandable but you put the kid in a hospital already. He could press charges.&quot;
      &quot;Like hell, he'll press charges!&quot; Ezra's voice was loud and angry as he snapped at Jade. &quot;I already called the cops and reported what he fucking did and if they don't press charges I swear to God I will fuck him up much worse than we already did.&quot;
      &quot;Ez, man,&quot; Charlie spoke softly, calmly. &quot;Look, you roughed him up and we already reported him but there's nothing more we can do. Jade is right. The last thing we need right now is you being

      Our Spot
      The next two days I stayed in my room avoiding everyone because I knew they were downstairs hoping I would come down.
      Charlie and Ezra had come to my room multiple times to see if I needed anything but I knew they were just trying to find an excuse to talk to me.

      I felt disgusting in my own skin. I was mad and sad and so many things all at once.
      I just didn't want to talk to anyone because the pity and sorry and worried looks in all of their eyes made me want to squirm.
      They really thought this was the worst I have been through?
      Ha. That's funny.
      I just wanted to put up my rough exterior and f

      Bad Luck Eventually Catches Up
      Friday night was more eventful than any of us would like to admit.
      Guess what?
      I was dragged to another party. It was bizarre to me when I thought about the fact that I was at a party considering that was the last place I would wish to be. I could be spending my time doing anything else but when we went out to get food and catch a movie, the plan changed when Leo got a text from someone about a party and the whole group decided they wanted to go. I couldn't bail because we were in the car and I didn't want to be the odd one who made them drop me home before going to the party so I kept my mouth shut.
      My plan was to get to the party, wait until everyone scattered off to do their own things and then I would call an Uber to get home. Pretty easy, right?
      We got to the party and I went off to the side, g

      Ezra grunted in response but didn't say anything.
