Chapter 281

~SCARLETT~

My sister and best friend were not giving me a chance to breathe. They were throwing questions at me, one after the next.

I didn’t want to remember anything about last night. I wanted to forget last night ever happened.

“You need to tell us what happened last night between you and Carter!” Clara repeats as Jenna joins us in the car. It was the next day, and I was still in shock and scarred from last night, and it was all these two traitor’s fault.

They abandoned me when I needed them the most.

How could they have left me to deal with Carter on my own?

How could they let him drop me home?

“I can’t believe the two of you!” I snap. “You guys are such traitors. How could you let me leave with Carter all by myself? Do you even realize how awful that was for me?”

A part of me knew that wasn’t entirely true. It wasn’t completely awful, but that wasn’t something I was ready to admit.
