go to the dance. You should go, I’m going with Tyler.”

Liam’s jaw clenched. “Well, then. I guess I’ll have to go.” He turned toward Shay. “Then count me in.”

She smiled, and glanced over at me. “Sarah.”

I smiled. “Shay.” She narrowed her eyes before stalking out. “I can’t believe I forgot to tell you. Shay threatened me the other day in the library. She said I needed to stay away from you. She knows.”

Liam sighed. “Well, I guess we’ll have to try and keep it a secret. Now, onto the important matter. You’re going to the dance with Tyler?”

“Oh, yeah. I was going to go with Matt, and he with Jamie, but since that’s not gonna happen. I said I’d go with him.”

“Okay,” Liam said.

“Okay? That’s all you have to say? Okay what?”

“Okay,” he wrapped his arms around my waist. “As long as he doesn’t try anything. Or I’ll have to beat his ass.”

I sighed. “Sure. Because, teachers beating up students go over so well these days.”

Liam winked. “Get ya pretty little ass to class, before I take you on my desk.” He slapped my ass and whistled as I walked out of class.

After my classes I met Cody at Java City. We got our lunch and sat down at our usual table. He was telling me about Jonathon when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Matt staring down at me. “Sarah,” he said. His blue eyes were wide, watery and sad. “Can I talk to you? I’ve been trying to call you.” He had called me around thirty times. Then I turned my cell off.

“What is there to talk about?”

He tugged on his cap, turned it around backwards and bent down beside me. He tried to put his hand on my knee, but I slid it off. “I’m so sorry, Sarah. I never meant for this to happen. It was a few moments of weakness. It’ll never happen again, I swear.”

“If it doesn’t happen again it’s up to you. I don’t care what you do from now on. I’m over it.”

Matt closed his eyes. “Please, baby. I swear. She didn’t mean anything to me. I fucked up. Please, just give me another chance.”

“No, now leave me alone, Matt.” I turned back to my sandwich and took another bite.

“Sarah,” he tugged on my shoulders. “I’m not just going to leave you alone. I’m not.”

I shrugged and took another drink.

He sighed, kissed my forehead and walked off.

Cody looked at me over his coffee. “Brutal. It’s his own fault though.”

I nodded. “It sure is.”

Chapter Thirteen

Liam

Shay had slipped a note into my mail. It asked if I wanted to get together after the dance. I sighed. I grabbed my cell and sent her a quick text. I told her my family was coming down early Saturday and I needed to get good nights sleep. That wasn’t all a lie. My parents were coming down but I didn’t plan on sleeping Friday night. I planned on burying myself inside of Sarah. Since my water was finally working again, I was planning on keeping her locked in my apartment as much as possible.

My phone rang and my mom’s name popped on the screen. “Hello,” I said, sighing.

“Hey, baby. I’m just calling to make sure that we’re still on for tomorrow night.”

“Yes, Mom.”

“I can’t wait to meet this girl of yours. What’s her name again?”

“Sarah, Mom.” I pulled on my leather jacket and made sure my hair was still in place. I had to be at the fundraiser dance in ten minutes.

“Yes, Sarah that sounds lovely. Well, your dad and I are leaving tomorrow morning. We’ll see you tomorrow evening.”

“Okay, Mom. Talk to you later.”

“Bye, hon.”

Sliding my phone into my pocket, I grabbed my keys and walked outside. I went straight toward the baseball house. Finding a place to park was a pain in the ass. There were too many people there already. Vehicles were parked in the grass and all along the pond outside. I guessed I should have showed up early, but I was too busy texting Sarah. Tyler had already came and picked her up. She was here already.

The music was loud, when I walked in. There were two people sitting at a table to take the money. I handed them my five and made my way all the way in. Sweat hit me in the face. There were hundreds of people there. Damn it. I felt like I was in college again, which hadn’t been too long ago.

I
