"I didn’t do it for you I did it for Lex because she was happy with you"

Drake looked down at the table before lifting his gaze to holdmore "Don’t think I didn’t realize the sacrifice you wereme out We never talked about it then, and we don’t have to talk about it now Just know that you earnedti talks like this"

"Fuck, you think I like the more"

I leaned closer to hio around thinking that I still have feelings like that for Lex Or that I’ Kaylie ‘Cause that’s not the case at all"

"That’s good to hear, because it was dairlfriend," he half-joked

"I’m sure that’s an understate uy friend of Kaylie’s and I was in the same situation? I don’t think I would have handled it as well as you did"

"It’s not like I had uys had been friends for fucking ever If I had told her she couldn’t hang around with you anymore, she would have told me to fuck off And it’s not like she had any clue how you felt about her"

"That’s the thing,to me when I was home for Christ Kaylie Things with Lex were co I was the one who partied with him our freshmen year here Who walked into that roo on her And then had to tell her what happened I felt so das went further to shit, I wanted to protect her so badly," I tried to explain

"I get that, Jackson And I appreciate that you were there for her back then"

I interrupted Drake before he could say anything else "You’re ot so wrapped up in the situation, and it was the first tirown up she was That she was hot And with all those feelings hitting ured I was in love with her," I ad to look unco this conversation "Chill out, ured’ Not that I aht If I had really loved Lex like that, I would have done so about it No way I would have waited two years, fucking around the whole time, and then stood on the sidelines and watched her fall for you without doing anything about it"

Drake heaved a deep sigh "That’s the part I never understood Why you waited so long But it’s not like I could have asked you about it back then"

"Because I had it all fucked up in my head And it tookI was back then If the same situation happened with her, there’s no way I’d be able to stand aside without fighting to make her mine"

"Da relief it is to hear you say that," Drake ad over there thinking about how much you’d like to punch me in the face anymore?" I joked, relieved to have cleared the air with him since Lex would always be a part ofanywhere anytiht now, but I’m sure you can still be a major pain in the ass So don’t rule it out for the future Besides, you got to pop me one, so don’t I still owe you?"

"Dude, you can’t owefavor and a punch to the face," I said, shakingdown at his phone, a big-ass grin spreading across his face "Fuck"

"What?"

"Lex just sent es he’d just received "Looks like the girls are having a blast at The Rooster"

Fuck! I couldn’t have just heard hiirls are at The Rooster tonight?"

"Yeah, dude"

"The Rooster? As in the cairlfriend works?"

"Don’t know of any other place that’s got the same name, so that would be a yes Kaylie told Aubrey that she should stop by soht shifts, and they decided it would be perfect for their girls night because then they could include Kaylie and Char in their fun instead of it just being the two of the out about this?"
