"It's late, I'm going home."

Trent got up to leave, but his friends stopped him.

"Hey, just because Lily is going doesn'

t mean you can go. I haven't seen you in ages, you must stay!"

"Yeah, Lily will be fine. You stay and have fun with us, bro."

I pulled my hand from Trent's, speaking calmly, "The driver will take me home. Have fun."

I turned and left.

Menu Soon after the car pulled away, I felt a phone in my coat pocket. It was Trent's.

I frowned and told the driver to turn around.

The car stopped outside the bar, and I saw Vanessa getting out of a cab. She checked her makeup, and walked in without looking around.

I instinctively gripped the phone, following her. She stopped at Trent's box.

As soon as the door opened, Vanessa rushed into Trent's arms. He hugged her waist, affectionately stroking her hair. "How did you get here so fast?"

Vanessa leaned against him, smiling sweetly. "I missed you! I came as soon as I 13:06 14.2%

Trent chuckled, "That's my girl." He kissed her lips, then their mouths locked together, "Alright, alright, stop making out here!"

His friends showed no surprise, playfully teasing them.

Standing outside, watching through the crack in the door, I felt a chill go down my spine. Everyone knew about Vanessa.

His friends grinned, clapping,. They called the previous women back. Soon, 13:07 316%

The game was simple: Spin a bottle, and whoever the bottle pointed to would have to answer a question or do something crazy.

After several spins, it pointed to Trent. Everyone shouted excitedly, the atmosphere reaching a fever pitch.

"Trent, when was the last time...?" A guy asked with a meaningful smile on his face. Everyone understood, Trent raised an eyebrow, unflappable."

How was it?"

The woman in his arms giggled, Menu burying her face in his chest. He smirked, saying word by word. "Best sex ever." "Hahaha! I knew it! Nothing's better than being someone's dirty little secret." "Yeah, Trent. People like us... we all cheat, don't we?"

"Just keep it on the down low, and we'

Il all be fine. Lily won't find out."

Hearing my name, the smile vanished from Trent's face. He went stone-cold."

Keep it between us, or you know what's gonna happen."

"Yeah, yeah! We won't even say a word."

But I heard every word they said.

Menu Their laughter bounced off the walls, but all I felt was cold and numb. My legs felt like lead. Like a ghost, I walked out without a thought.

The driver noticed my distress and offered to tell Trent, but I stopped him.

"Don't take me home. I want to walk alone. And don't tell Trent I came back."

I sent the driver away and walked alone on the deserted street. Suddenly, a drenching rain poured down, but I felt nothing. The cold rain made me even clearer-headed.
