Page 56 of Resurrecting the Enemy
I stared at the person closest to me, aside my brother, and said, “It’s bad.” He immediately knew what I was referring to. Dash knew I was referring to the heartbreaking betrayal. Something I’d never experienced before. Something none of us have ever experienced before.
“Then make her fucking pay,” was his only reply.
Chapter 30
Lake~
My head felt like a blood vessel was going to burst from the intense pressure from my headache. With machines beeping all around me and feeling like I’d been run over by a truck, I knew I was in the hospital, only, I didn’t know why.
With heavy lids, I glanced around the room, and I saw Eden sleeping in a chair next to the bed. I didn’t see my parents or her parents, but they had to be here, right? Or on their way? Ramsey was also noticeably absent.
“Eden?” I croaked out, and she immediately jumped up.
Her green eyes wild, they finally calmed when she registered that I was awake. “Oh, thank God,” she rushed out.
“Wh…what happened?” I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. Opening them again, I asked, “Where are my parents?”
“They were here,” she said. “But your dad was getting worried about your mom, so they went downstairs to get a bite to eat really quick.”
“Where are your parents?”
“With yours,” she quickly added. “They’re…they’re all kind of losing their shit.”
“What happened, Eden? Why am I here?” Eden looked like she was about to cry. “What is it? What happened?”
“Curt and Erica crashed the party last night,” she began. “And…”
“Eden, just tell me, please,” I pleaded. “I need to know.”
She gave me a small nod. “I was in the kitchen making some more ice shots when Xavier Watson came in, talking about how you had to be the dumbest girl on the planet.”
“Me?” She nodded. “But…but I get along with Xavier.”
“I know,” she quickly replied. “So, when I asked him what the hell he was talking about, he said only a stupid chick would be ballsy enough to cheat on Reed.”
“What?” I exhaled and immediately regretted it. My head thumped hard and the pain was nauseating.
“When I told him he was crazy because you’d never cheat on Reed, he said he just saw you and Curt going into a bedroom together.”
I gasped. “What?” I started shaking my head, the pain ricocheting everywhere, but not caring. “I…I never went into a…” My head hurt terribly as I reached for my memories, but the last one I could come up was arguing with Curt and telling him to leave me alone. “We argued, but…”
“Lake…” Her voice sounded so pained, I feared the worse. And if anyone asked me, Iwassore between my legs, but I’d been sore all evening after Ramsey had taken me the way he had after school. He’d shown no mercy, and that wasn’t anything I wanted to have to tell a doctor,ormy parents.
“Did he-”
Eden shook her head. “No,” she quickly assured me. “As soon as Xavier said he saw you guys going into one of the bedrooms together, I raced out of the kitchen and found you guys in the guest room.”
“And?”
Her eyes were filled with anguish, and I was beginning to feel sorrier for her than for whatever happened to me. “Xavier had immediately known something was wrong by the way I had taken off, so he had followed me, and when we found the door locked, Xavier kicked it open, surprising Curt.”Oh, God.“Curt jumped back and…and you fell into a heap on the floor. When I rushed towards you, I couldn’t wake you, and it was obvious you’d been drugged.”
“Oh, God…oh, God…” I whispered.
“All hell broke loose after that,” she went one. “Xavier lost his shit and started beating the shit out of Curt while I called an ambulance.”
I couldn’t remember anything beyond arguing with Curt and it made me sick to my stomach. And when my mind started going down the road of ‘what its’, I quickly shut it down. Eden and Xavier had gotten to me in time, and that was all that mattered.
“Then what happened?”
