"What?"

He shrugged, but I hurried out of Mason’s arms and down the stairs Their basement was crowded, overly crowded, and I had to shove h until I found Becky She was dressed in her hockey cheerleading outfit, and she stood in a corner Her arlower on her face

"What’s wrong?"

Relief flickered over her face, but then the glower returned "I thought you were coame"

My heart sank Oh crap

"Oh, coh the crowd and threw an arm around her shoulder He had a red plastic cup in one hand, and I saw the glaze in his eyes He was already tipsy "She’s got bigger and better friends than us now Yeah, her boyfriend’s not playing, but that doesn’t mean she shouldn’t support him over her friends I mean, he’s her boyfriend and the rest of us are just her loser friends Right, Salower doubled Adam’s cocky sht want to remember who your friends were before the Kades came into your life"

Myame?"

He rolled his eyes and turned to scan the crowd Then he rolled his shoulders back, and he looked ready to continue partying Becky seemed to shrink beside him as she watched him also She bit her lip and her hands were twisted around each other I sighed on the inside She still had feelings for him

He jerked a shoulder up "Whatever, Saot your life" He flashed me a smile, and I took two steps back from it The uneasiness inside ofusted sound came from his throat before he strolled away Becky and I watched as he already had a girl in his snares She’d been watching him the whole time, and as he sauntered over to her, her whole face lit up Adairl ed her further into the crowd The lust on his face couldn’t have been erous I saw it in that ry withto take it out on I looked at Becky The blood had drained from her face, and she had both of her hands pressed to her lips Her eyes were fearful as she turned to ed her

She clung to me Her head pressed into my shoulder "I love him I know it’s stupid I don’t knohy I still do, but I do"

I smoothed her hair down and swept a hand down her back There were no words I could give her If Mason turned his back on me, I wasn’t sure hoould handle it either Iher "It’ll be okay, Becky One day at a tiht?"

She pulled back, but tears streaked down her face It messed up her make-up, and she tried to smooth it away as she hiccupped "I know I do I do really like hied breath and dropped her voice down "He’s not Adaet over him Every time I think I can, he’s so sweet to me and I’m back where I was I’m in love with him, Sam Can someone fall out of love?"
