I knew Stella was going to be waiting for me at home and wanting to talk about what happened before, but I am in no mood to talk about anything. That’s one thing that Knox understood was not wanting to talk about things that upset us, so he gave me a key to escape when Stella got pushy for answers. I figured now is a good time to use the key. I just pray everyone was still in class.
When I pulled up to Knox’s house, there was a 2018 Bentley in the drive way. For how brand new it was, my guess would be it belonged to Rem Cortez. When I walked in he was sitting at the table with his hands pulling at his hair. He may have not grown up rich, but rick looked good on him. He was in a tailored suit that fit him just right, tall, sharp jawline, and short wavy brown hair. If a certain someone wasn’t occupying my head and heart, I’d be all over that.
“Looks like someone can use this just as much as me.” I said going past him to the cupboard to take out two shot glasses.
“And you are?” He looked at me, but he seemed so tired.
“Madison Bloom. I had a terrible day and Knox gave me this key so I decided to come here and not face his sister’s hundred questions.”
“Oh so you’re the Madison that has both of my best friends’ undies in a bunch. I can see why. I’m usually not a day drinker, but after the day I had why not.” I wonder why he said that. Knox takes me as a hookup if he’s too lazy to go find someone and Jude pretends I don’t exist, right?
I poured us both a shot and he lit a joint for us, halleluiah. I held up my shot glass and said, “Here’s to forgetting what fucked up day we had and to getting fucked up instead!”
Chapter Sixteen
Jude
The one thing that’s been helping me since getting kicked out of the Montgomery’s has been running. I love the rush it gives because my mind is focused on going further and harder than my body is letting me go. I’ve been running for about eight miles when my phone rang.
“What’s up?”
“Jude I need a huge favor. I finally got both of the twins from Saturday night to agree to a threesome, but my sister won’t stop calling me about Madison. I guess Maddie had a melt down that has Stella worried. She can’t find her and I accidentally agreed that I would go out and look for her. Can you please do it for me? Just text me when you see her and I’ll let Stella know she’s alright?” Knox had some balls. It pissed me off that he wasn’t putting Madison first. Growing up with her, I put everything aside to protect her and make sure she’s alright.
“Not trying to be a dick, but you should be more concerned about finding her than how many holes you can put your dick in. I’ll go look for her, but seriously think about what you’re doing.” I hung up before he can make up some lame excuse.
After what Madison went through today, I figured she would be doing something to try and forget. I ran back to my house to change and grab my car keys. As soon as I walked in, I heard music blasting from the living room. Rem and Madison were laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling, and passing a joint to each other.
“I am declaring you my new best friend Madison. Most don’t get me, but babe you do.” Rem says slurring towards the end. He is one of those sappy drunks where everyone is his best friend.
“Dude yes!” She said while fist bumping him. She continued to say, “Just don’t end up being a jerk who lies like somebody I used to know.”
“That’s funny I can say the same thing.”I couldn’t help sneer. I should have just walked away and texted Knox she was safe, but it struck a cord that she is acting like she’s the victim.
She jumped up from her spot looking shocked as hell, while Rem hit the joint again giving me a head nod. “Fucking damnit to all hell. Can I just have the rest of the day where I don’t have to see or hear you.” Madison went from being drunk and stoned to raging mad. Good, she needs to feel what I’ve been feeling for the last three years.
“Oh Madison, I don’t think you fully understand that I don’t want you here in this house or this town. By the way this is where I live and right there is the front door, you should go use it.”
“Fuck dude calm down, you’re killing the vibe. Madison, let’s go back to my place.” Rem couldn’t even get up with the help of Madison. The two idiots fell back down, laughing their asses off. Great this is going to be a long fucking night.
“Awesome. You two are completely fucked and your not driving anywhere. My car is in the shop, so it looks like you both are sleeping here.” I headed over to the coffee table and grabbed both their keys heading back to my room to shower. I’m not their babysitter, they can figure out where they’re sleeping.
After I took a shower, I call Knox to let him know I found her and she’s safe. “Yo man, I walked in and she’s here with Rem getting fucked up. From the looks of the empty bottle of Jameson and the house smelling like Willie Nelson just had a party, they’re in for a
