“I love you so damn much,” he mumbles into my hair.
I take his advice and throw in a couple more outfits. He’s right. I don’t want to be here anyway, and if he wants me to, I’m more than happy to stay at his place more frequently.
Once I’m packed, we get back into the car and go to the store for some snacks and drinks. When we pull up to his house, we find a whole crew of people who have just let themselves in uninvited, partying in the garage after the races like they always do.
“The fuck?” Colt says under his breath as his headlights fall upon the bustling garage.
Of course, Simone and Serena are there, being their usual slutty selves. They have some fucking nerve showing up to Colt’s after their little stunt.
Rage fills my insides.
“It’s okay, babe. Just ignore them. I’m going to kick everyone out of here. I don’t know why they’re here when I didn’t invite them. I wasn’t even at the fucking race. They can go to Axel’s.”
“No, no. I gotta do something first.” We get out of the car and I slam the door, seeing him wince in my peripheral vision.
I storm over to the bitches who attempted to lure my boyfriend and then sent me a video to make it look like he cheated. They went to some fucking great lengths to get between us, and it almost worked. Thankfully, I made at least one friend while being Colt’s girlfriend, and she talked some sense into me.
But I'm sick of this shit. It ends today.
I march right up to Simone, who has a smug look on her face, then she sees Colt behind me and her smile drops.
“You fucking bitch!” I shriek as I pull my arm back and crank her right in the nose. I feel the crunch under my fist, and she yelps as her nose immediately begins to bleed.
She did not see that coming.
Everyone in the garage gasps as they look on. Serena’s beside her, and her mouth gapes wide open. I bring my hand back and slap her so hard across the face it stings from the impact. The sound echoes through the garage, and a collective “oooh” is heard from the party-goers.
“Oww!” she wails, grabbing her cheek while Simone sits on the floor completely stunned, her nose bleeding everywhere.
“Holy fuck!” Colt yells. He comes up behind me, his arm encircling my waist to hold me back from them before they attack me, or I go at them again.
But I step out of his grasp, pointing at the two of them.
“Enough of your bullshit! I’m Colt’s girl! Get used to it and stay the fuck out of our business or I’ll fucking come at you again! And next time it'll be even worse!” I scream. “That goes for the rest of you too!” I point to the rest of the girls in the corner. My heart is racing, my hand is aching, and my body is buzzing with adrenaline.
“Hey! Don’t fucking touch them!” Nate emerges from the crowd, crouching to check on Simone and Serena. He looks overat me with a scowl, then storms towards me and angrily shoves my chest. I stumble back into Colt, who grabs my shoulders to stabilize me.
“Who the fuck do you think you are, loser?” His words are laced with disdain, glaring at me with hate. Colt moves around me and gets right up in Nate’s face.
“That’s my girl, Campbell. Don’t you ever put your fucking hands on her again,” he warns through gritted teeth, staring him down.
“She put her hands on my girl first, Hawthorne.”
Colt snorts a laugh. “What, you’re with Simone? Or Serena now? Or both?” We all know you’ve already fucked Simone, so I'm pretty sure you’ve had them both.
“Serena and I suggest you and your bitch fuck off and keep your hands to yourselves.” Nate puffs out his chest in a last attempt to look large next to Colt.
Not gonna happen.
“Then tell your skanks to keep out of our business, Campbell. They were the ones who started shit, so you know what? Get the fuck off my property, and take your bitches with you.”
Nate laughs in Colt’s face. “And to think, the good girl bookworm makesTheColton Hawthorne a little pussy bitch.”
Without hesitation, Colt’s fist hits Nate right in the nose, giving him a matching injury to Simone’s. Nate stumbles to the ground beside her, and he wipes his bloody nose. Anger fills his face and he attempts to get up, but Colt bends over him, grabs his shirt collar and hits him again, knocking him right out.
A brawl breaks out in the garage between Nate’s friends and Colt’s. People are shoving each other, arms and fists fly through the air, girls are screeching. It’s fucking chaos.
I hear a shriek behind me, and Serena comes at me, slapping with her wild arms and hitting me in the face. I manage to grab a fistful of her hair and pull her away from me, slapping heragain. I take hold of her and twist her around, pinning her arms tightly behind her back to subdue her when a huge smash stops everyone in their tracks.
