The stadium erupted into cheers as the final whistle blew, signaling Luke’s team had won. I jumped to my feet, clapping and screaming along with the rest of the people around me. I knew Josh’s team had lost and that he was probably crushed, but right now, I was happy–like screaming my lungs out.
I tried my best to see if I could spot Josh or Luke. Shit, maybe they were angry with each other. That would make dinner tonight awkward.
Finally, I spotted Luke and Josh, and instead of a showdown, they were hugging it out, slapping each other on the back with grins that could light up the night sky. A wave of relief crashed over me. They were good. Well, of course, they would be. They were like brothers. I still had to make sure I gave Josh a piece of my mind for cheating on Laura. Tonight was my only chance, and I didn’t care that he had lost.

Aiden: Jess. I haven’t heard from you in two days. Just let me know you are safe. ‘WORRIED asshole over here.’
Jess: Safe. Now go bother some other poor innocent girl.
Aiden: You are not innocent, honey. Wink.
“Ugh. Idiot,” I groaned, not responding this time. He knew I was alive. That was enough.
I caught a few girls behind me whispering and giggling, and I eavesdropped out of pure boredom.
“How long before Luke’s single do you think?” one said, a snicker slipping through her lips. My insides twisted, and I fought the urge to eavesdrop, but I was glued to the spot, straining to hear more.
“I know, right? My friend would be perfect for him. He’s a little young, but I bet you that doesn’t translate between the sheets,” the other replied, her voice oozing with entitled confidence that made my skin crawl.
I tightened my grip on the soda can, feeling anger flare within me. But it only got worse.
