Chapter 114

Easton

It fucking sucked, not having Harper at school today. I missed her something fierce. To the point that I turned into a growly, grumpy motherfucker who snapped at anyone who asked me a fucking question, including my teachers. I didn’t give a shit. Who knew I'd become so whipped for a girl that I'd turn into a mess when she wasn't around? “I really hope my sister comes back to school tomorrow, '

Ryan says as we leave campus at the end of the day, headed for the parking lot. “Because you're being a total asshole. '

“I don't like it when I can’t see her, '

I admit, hating how I sound like a complete pussy. But fuck it. “How'd she look this morning? '

“Miserable. '

A string of curses leaves me and Ryan barks out a laugh. “Glad I didn’t tell you that this morning. Might’ve made you even grumpier, if that’s possible. '

“Hey guys. '

We both turn to find Sadie approaching us. When she's close enough, Ryan swoops in, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and pulling her into his side, dropping a kiss on her cheek. Watching them only makes me miss Harper even more. I'm such a fucking sap. “I heard from Harper, '

she says. “She just called me. '

“Why didn't she call me? '

Sadie’s gaze meets mine. “She said she tried you first but you didn’t pick up. She went to the doctor. They put her on antibiotics. '

“She’s legit sick, huh. '

Ryan shakes his head. “I figured if she was faking it. '

“Harper wouldn't fake being sick. '

She'd want to be at school so she could see me. “I don't know if she'll be at school tomorrow either. '

Sadie winces, as if she’s preparing herself for the blow that is my wrath at hearing this. “Just thought I'd warn you, E. '

Ignoring her, I reach into my back pocket and pull out my phone to see that yep, I have missed calls from my girl. I immediately call her back. “Hey, '
