"Jolie what you drawing there?" I ask my sister, "What's this? Looks like an infinity symbol. Is it supposed to mean anything Jolie?"

It's a hot day. Extra hot. People are getting antsy. Tension is starting to set in. Tension and heat. I don't have on a shirt. Jolie is sweating and keeping busy drawing. Jolie doesn't answer me. She looks up at me and acknowledges my presence but goes on to what she is doing. My sister is drawing right next to me. It's the infinity loop. She's drawing it over and over. At first I thought it was just her trying to keep busy while everyone else worked but it's happening over and over. The infinity loop.

Stoney walks over and kicks up some dirt over her drawing.

"Fuck your sister's drawing. We got other shit to worry about, goddam it. Like a guy trying to kill you."

Stoney voice has been repetitive for most of the day, "I should have known something was up with Syx. I should have known. Look at the guy. My pops always said you can't trust a guy that is prettier than a bitch. He's not right. You hear me? He smiles in your face and then he's trying to kill you. Goddam it...Jurnee. Are you listening to me? This is serious. We got to do something. Put that down. Look here. Pay attention OK. Alright listen. So I have a plan. We should kill him before he kills you."

"I'm not doing that," I respond.

"You don't have a choice."

Stoney and I are sitting by the fire. A few days have passed since Syx said he would kill me. I'm staying away from him and spending a lot more time with Stoney. Syx keeps inviting me hunting. Stoney swears it's a trap for me to have some sort of "accident" while hunting. My excuse for not going hunting is the filtration device that I've created.

We've been sitting in this area most of the day away from the others working on the water filtration. Luckily a few of the boys got sick a few days ago. Joey swore it was the food but I convinced them that it was the water. It gave me the opening to work on my filtration idea and not go hunting. It was some weird idea I learned in school sometime. I take a clear plastic bag and tie it around a leafy green tree branch. I weight the inside with a rock and create a low point for the water to collect into a container.

"Jolie, can you hand me that," I tell my sister.

My sister comes over and gives me a new container. She hasn't been talking but she is at least not a lemon anymore. Her brain seems to work. I trust her a little bit more by herself. So when she hands me the container and goes off to the stream I don't bother her.

Over the course of the day the plant transpires and produces moisture that collects at the low point. It drains into the container. The water is clean. It tastes a little bit like whatever plant we get the water from but it is better than nothing.

"You're ignoring me," Stoney says.

"Stoney we aren't killers," I tell him.

"It's survival of the fittest out here," he replies, "We didn't start this. Ain't nowhere to run Jurnee. Look around. This is an island. Those weird ass Valentines started this..."

"I don't know. I can see Sevyn plotting, but I don't think Syx would do something like that yo." I explain to Stoney.

Stoney looks at me like I'm crazy. We both heard Sevyn and Syx in the woods. We both heard him promise his sister that he would kill me. I knew the voice. It was dark as hell in those woods but I would recognize Syx's voice anywhere.

"What do you really know about the Valentines?" Stoney asks me, "Look at her up there. Sevyn is asleep while Josephine, Maria, Helen and Jessica bring her fruit and water all day. Water that you and I slave on collecting all day."

Stoney points up at the tree house. Sure enough Sevyn hasn't moved an inch. She says that she has migraines. That's her excuse for not doing any work. It annoys the fuck out of me really that she does the least amount of work but will complain if anyone else slacks off even a little.

"I'll just stay away from her. I'll just watch my back," I explain, "She was mad because she felt like we were in her business. So let's stay out of her business. We'll just keep collecting water. Sooner or later we'll be saved."

I hand Stoney a plastic bag. He jerks it out of my hand. I can tell that he's upset by the look on his face. He's been at my side recently. A part of me is happy that I have someone to talk to now. The problem however is that Stoney hasn't left my side since Syx's threat. He won't leave me alone. Not for a second.

Stoney shakes his head, "That girl is the devil. If Jolie could talk you know she'd be agreeing with me right now. Jurnee, we have to take them out before they take us out."

I shake my head at that moment. A part of me knows that Stoney has a point.

My mouth gets dry, "Maybe we took it out of context."

"How do you take murder out of context?" he asks me, "How much do you really know the Valentines? How much about them do you really know?"

"Stoney calm down..."

"No. They dragged us out here. Remember. It was Syx's birthday. It was Syx's plane. Now we are finding out his sister charted the course and someone tampered with this plane. Something is up with the Valentines. You have to see that."

Stoney literally grabs me and shakes me at that moment.

"I have to pee...can you filter up another plant."

"I'm coming with you..." Stoney replies.

"Stoney. Seriously?"

"Yeah. Seriously. I'm not leaving you alone. Not even for a second," Stoney tells me.

"Stoney. I am going right over there. Syx is out hunting with the other guys. Relax," I tell him, "I'm just going to go pee. I'll be right back. Start on another plant."

Stoney gives me a hard look. He reaches down with one of the plastic bag ready to filter out water from another plant. I stop him immediately before he does it.

"Not that plant."

"Why?"

"I'm pretty sure that's a poisonous plant," I state, "I'm not 100% but I think I saw it on Instagram one time. We don't want to fuck up the water with it."

He nods, "I've never been so happy I got a corny ass best friend who follows plant shit on social media as I am right now."

I laugh and slap him on the side of the head. He pinches my butt as I walk away playfully. I'm putting my guard down when it comes to Stoney. Maybe it's because he is being so protective. The more I think about it the more I realize that we've all been through this crazy experience. Stoney was right where he needed to be when it mattered. He was right by my side. So maybe I could give him a second chance.

Besides it felt good to laugh with my buddy.

He keeps an eye on me until I walk out of sight. I know he does. The only person I walk past is Jessica. She's standing there looking awkward as usual. She's been so weird.

"Hey Jessica."

Jessica doesn't answer. I look back and notice Stoney glaring at me. He is signaling me to get away from her.

"What do you want?" she asks me.

"Just on my way to the bathroom. I was wondering. You haven't overheard Sevyn mentioning anything about our location. Have you? I know you guys talk a lot."

"I know where we are..."

My mouth gets dry.

"What?"

I look back at Stoney. He doesn't trust her. He's gotten up and is walking over to us.

"I know where we are Jurnee."

"Oh my God."

Stoney walks up to us, "What's going on here?"

"She knows where we are," I state.

Jessica nods, "Yeah. Can't you tell. We're in Hell."

With that Jessica walks away. Stoney rolls his eyes and dismisses her. I look at her as she walks away though. There is something so odd about that girl. Every day she gets more and more weird. I wonder if it's the stress just getting to her or if there is something more. What did she mean that we were in hell?

"Does she mean literally? Like we died and we're in hell or something?" I ask.

Stoney rolls his eyes, "She's fucking crazy. Weren't you going to pee? If you needed to SHIT I would have told you to go behind the river. Because that's what the crazy girl is selling you. Pure shit. Now hurry up. I'll wait here."

Stoney looks so handsome focused on me like a hawk. We've all agreed no using the bathroom near camp for sanity reasons. We were out in the wild but we weren't animals. So I go out further into the jungle, walking into the bushes and leaning up against a tree.

I start peeing. I look up in the sky. It's cloudy out there.

"That's a long piss," a voice says.

I jump.

I turn to see someone leaning up against the same tree as me. It's Syx. As soon as I see him my heart starts racing.

The boys are back. I hear them as soon as he says that. The majority have just come back from hunting boars. I think they are getting good at it. Right now I notice all of them coming back with sharp sticks. They are wearing less and less clothes. It's humid as fuck on this island. It's more jungle terrain than anything.

"You scared me," I state.

Syx pulls his dick out. I'm shocked when he does. He doesn't even hide it. He pulls his dick out and starts to piss on the same tree with me.

"You've been jumpy lately..." Syx tells me, "Are you OK?"

He is staring at the tree as he talks. I stare down at his dick. His dick is so thick. I've seen it in passing because Syx had started wearing nothing more than some boxer briefs. He says they are easy to wash. Right now he has on his gray Armani exchange ones. His dick fits perfectly in them and I've watched reluctantly around camp admiring the bulge. I haven't seen much more than the bulge since he that day in camp that I saw him jerking off.

Watching the stream of piss, I'm almost hypnotized. I struggle to look away and end up looking right in his eyes. He's noticed me! He sees me watching him pee!

I struggle to maintain myself and turn this on him, "You could have gone to a different tree to piss, man. There is no shortage of trees out here."

"Why? We're just two guys stuck on an island. I don't mind if you don't mind..." he says.

Syx shakes his dick a few times. He gives it a squeeze letting every drop come out of his dick. Then out of nowhere he just stares at me and laughs. He's probably laughing at the fact that I'm still pissing. Or maybe he's laughing at my dick. I'm not sure. He is staring down at it right now.

"I mind," I quickly tell him, turning away to finish my piss.

"Yo relax. Did I do something to you?" he asks me.

He is acting as though he's clueless. I heard him in the woods that night. I heard him talking to his sister. I heard him promising to kill me. I feel uneasy right now. I feel a little fucking scared or something.

"I'm just minding my own business," I explain to him, "Not bothering anyone."

Syx shrugs, "Well maybe I want to be bothered."

"What?"

"You're interesting as fuck. You're probably the most resourceful person out here. Aren't you filtrating water right now? I'm kind of tired running around with these idiots chasing pigs in circles. It'd be nice to have a real conversation for once..."

The way Syx looks at me I swear I could almost believe him when he says that. He's believable and he's beyond fucking sexy. There are little beads of sweat right underneath his brow. His lips are pink and wet. His chest is dripping with sweat probably from chasing those pigs. Every droplet makes his body glimmer. He looks more lean and more chiseled out here. Maybe it's the high protein diet we have or maybe it's the fact that he's been hunting all day every day. I didn't think it was possible for his six pack to become an eight pack. I didn't think it's possible that he can move his chest muscles while talking without even trying.

I'm beyond horny.

Syx is beyond sexy.

"HEY! HEY!" Stoney says running up out of nowhere, "Jurnee are you OK?"

Stoney is at the tree before I know it. He's standing between Syx and I. He is giving Syx this wild look. Stoney isn't even trying to hide the fact that we are onto Syx. He's completely right to be acting like this. I wish I would stop thinking with my dick and start realizing that Syx wasn't out here to be man candy.

Syx is dangerous.

"Why wouldn't he be OK?" Syx asks him.

"There's something silver hanging out of your bag," Stoney states, "I saw it while I was running up. What is hanging out of your bag man?"

Syx takes off his back pack. "Funny you say that. I was going to take it out later but now is probably the best time. You guys are going to be so done when you see this."

Fuck, my heart races! We watch as Syx goes to his bag reaching for the silver thing in his bag. My mind goes to the same place that I'm sure Stoney's goes to. We have to be thinking the same thing: Syx found a gun.

"Jurnee run!" Stoney says.

I don't run. His screaming warning is alerting the others. Stoney flies off the handle and charges Syx. He tackles Syx on the ground at that moment. The two start to wrestle one another on the ground. I am about to help Stoney when I realize the silver thing has fallen out of Syx's bag wasn't actually a gun.

"Stoney stop!" I tell him.

Stoney has Syx pinned down. Syx is stronger than he probably anticipated. I think he might be stronger than Stoney actually. He lifts him with pure force almost like he's benching Stoney. He tosses Stoney off of him. Just at that moment the other boys are running up. Syx looks like he is ready to attack Stoney again but luckily Aaron and Joey hold him back.

"What's going on here?" Billy Badass asks.

"This lil' bitch just attacked me!" Syx screams at the top of his lungs.

"He has a gun!" Stoney warns the others.

I'm embarrassed as I reach for the thing that fell out of Syx's bag. It isn't a gun. It is a silver flask. I show the flask to Stoney. The two of us just look at one another. We don't know what to think. What the fuck was Syx doing with a flask out here?

It's Richie who explains, "We went back to the crash after hunting today. I remembered I had a whole suitcase full of alcohol that we never found. The glass bottles were broken but god bless the cheap ass plastic bottles of vodka that I had. We brought them back. We were about to get this party started..."

"Party?" Stoney asks.

"It's Sevyn's birthday at 12," Billy says.

"You guys thought he had a gun?" Richie laughs.

Richie seems like he is already drunk. The others laugh with him. Except for Billy who seems too cool to laugh about this and of course there is Syx who just seems confused. They look at Stoney and I like we are idiots right now. I don't know how to feel. I'm glad Stoney came to help me but I'm also embarrassed that he was saving me from a flask of fucking alcohol.

"We thought um..." Stoney starts to desperately explain to them.

I know a part of Stoney still wants to fit in. I was making it hard for him. I could tell. He was becoming awkward as hell by hanging out with me. The others were starting to group us together and that was clear. I kind of feel bad for him right now especially with how dramatic Richie's laugh is. I'm sure it would have been going on a lot longer but Syx ends it by walking away.

"This is dumb," Syx says.

The others follow him. It's Billy who gives us a lingering stare as though we are the problem or something. It's clear he's starting to get suspicious of the way we are acting and honestly I probably would be too. The others just find it entertaining. Syx looks mad though. When he storms off a part of me wants to follow after him and apologize.

Then I remember.

He did tell his sister he was going to kill me. I couldn't let that go. I couldn't act like that never happened.

~

The liquor gets everybody loose as fuck. I don't drink but I see Stoney taking shots of it to his system. I know that it's probably because his nerves are so bad. Before I know it Sevyn is walking around giving orders. I go put Jolie to bed. A part of me wants to stay up there with her but then I remember Stoney is down there alone drinking. He's been taking care of me so I realize the least I can do is make sure that he gets to bed safe.

When I get back down from putting Jolie to bed I realize he is drunk.

"Where the hell you headed off to?" Sevyn asks me.

Her breath smells like cheap rum. When Richie said that he had a suitcase of liquor I am realizing that he wasn't lying. They are all sitting around the fire and they are drunk. I am annoyed that she is even talking to me. I walk over to Stoney.

"Stoney are you OK?" I ask.

"Don't ignore me. Don't you hear me talking to you?" Sevyn asks me.

She stands right next to me while I ignore her. She crosses her arms. She's such a fucking princess. She's so used to getting her way. The fact that I'm ignoring her right now is killing her. I can look in her eyes and see it. She hates that I'm like this. A part of me thinks she actually likes this island. She enjoys being out here. She feels like she runs this shit just like she ran everyone back home. Only now there was no escape from her.

I struggle to maintain my composure, "Stoney. You should probably stop drinking. Maybe it's time for bed."

"What are you his mom?" Richie asks me, "Let the guy enjoy himself."

Richie is annoying. He's always been annoying in school but on this island everything is amplified. He was one of those guys who just never took anything seriously. He thought his entire life was hanging around his friends and getting fucked up. Richie's entire meaning is to entertain the popular kids. There was no substance behind him. God knows why Stoney wanted to be friends with these people in the first place.

"Stoney," I start off again.

"I'm fine. You're the one spinning in circles," Stoney tells me.

"Stoney you're drunk as fuck. I'm not spinning in circles. I'm standing right here," I respond.

"Stoney do you want to leave?" Sevyn asks him.

Stoney is drunk. He's not thinking correctly, "No..."

He takes another shot to the head from one of the eight fucking flasks that are in circulation. I turn to see all the others laughing at the fact that Stoney is behaving like this. I know I can't leave him though. I don't trust anyone.

"We're all going to play truth or dare!" Sevyn states, "Why don't you stay?"

"I'll pass. I just came to get my friend."

"You go to bed with him?" Sevyn asks, "That's kind of gay, no?"

"We're not gay!" Stoney slurs out loud.

The others laugh. I don't know why they are laughing at this point. I think they are just laughing to laugh. I sit my ass down next to Stoney.

"I'm staying but I'm not participating," I reply.

"It's my birthday. You'll do what I say you do," Sevyn argues with me.

She gives me a long challenging stare. Her eyes pierce through mine. I don't know why this girl goes out of her way to hate me the way she does. I just don't understand her. Then I think about it. I really didn't know much about the Valentines at all. Truth or Dare had truth in it. They were drunk. I could probably learn something from the Valentines tonight.

"Fine. I'll play," I state.

She smiles, happy she got her way. She turns her finger around and points to Maria, "Maria. Truth or Dare."

"Dare," Maria says.

"I dare you slap the shit out of Jurnee."

The others laugh when Sevyn gives that dare. Maria gets red in the face. I sit there thinking if I should just use this opportunity to walk away. It's clear Sevyn is trying to make my life here as difficult as possible. Maria walks over to me and slaps me. It's not really a hard slap. I don't know Maria well at all. I don't think I've spoken to her on this island at all or off of it. Still I'm glad she's not such a bitch to try to hit me hard.

"Done," she proclaims.

"You call that a slap?" Sevyn asks Maria, "Drink. If you don't complete your dare you drink. You hear me you dumb fucking bitch? You want me to say it in Spanish? I said DRINK!"

Sevyn is sloppy drunk. She's talking fast and getting in Maria's face. Maria clearly looks a little intimidated by Sevyn because she backs down and acts as though she's laughing. Really she's looking back at her friend Josephine hoping Josephine would intervene. No one does. Sevyn shoves the alcohol down Maria's throat forcefully.

Maria gags.

"Bad gag reflex," Richie laughs, "Too bad. I was trying make her suck this dick tonight."

The others laugh. What's weird about the control that Sevyn has on this group is that even Maria's friend Josephine laughs. She wants to fit in. Just like the others. They all are so desperate to be a part of the group.

"Give me the same dare," Sevyn says.

Maria looks confused, "What?"

"Give me the same dare dumbass. I'll show you how it's done."

Maria looks at me. She looks at Sevyn. She looks back at me. She looks a little bit nervous. None the less she opens her mouth to follow Sevyn's orders, "Ok Sevyn. I dare you to---"

Sevyn doesn't even let her finish. She walks up to me faster than I can imagine and slaps the shit out of me. When her hand strikes my face I ball my fists. Every part of me just wants to hit her upside her head. The side of my face stings.

I get up. Sevyn is smiling at me. She wants me to overreact. She wants me to curse her ass out. In the corner of my eye I can see her brother Syx. I can see her boyfriend Billy. She feels protected with them. The worst thing I can do right now is that.

So instead I smile back.

"Good one. I'll take a drink," I state.

I don't know why Richie starts cheering at that moment.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Richie shouts loudly in my ear and gives me a pat on my back so hard that I almost cough it up.

Maybe he's happy that he has yet another drinking partner or something. When he does it though the others start cheering as well. Richie continues to prepare me my own flask. I watch Sevyn's reaction to the others seeming somewhat happy.

I take a seat next to Syx. I watch him give me a little bit of a stare. He has a smile on his face.

The game is a silly one at first. Richie is dared to run naked around the fire a couple of times. Josephine has to twerk on Aaron. Helen has to confess that the boy she finds most attractive on the island is Syx. Joey has to tell about the most awkward place he had sex. I realize that as the game goes around and around people are scared of one person. They are scared of Sevyn. No one gives her anything challenging. No one really gives her anything at all. She isn't the only one who is spared. Her boyfriend is clearly spared too.

That is until Stoney gets up, "Billy. Truth or dare."

Billy looks at Stoney with a confused look but then he smiles and shrugs, "Dare. Of course."

"I'll spin this bottle and whoever it lands on you have to kiss. I'm not talking about a regular kiss either. I'm talking 7 minutes in heaven. Heavy tongue action behind that rock over there."

Sevyn is not amused. Her eyes set on Stoney.

"Maybe it is time you go to bed," Sevyn tells Stoney.

"Relax," Billy interrupts, "It's just a dare. Go ahead Stoney. Spin it."

Stoney is so drunk that he has no idea that he just got under Sevyn's skin. He has no idea how pissed she is. Everyone else is well aware even through the alcohol though. Stoney is beyond that. He has gotten so drunk that he gets up and spins the bottle like a madman laughing the entire time at how much fun he's causing. I have to admit I love seeing Sevyn squirm.

I enjoy seeing Sevyn stare at that bottle the entire time until I realize who the head of the bottle lands on. The head of the bottle lands on me.

Syx looks up at me, "Whoa..."

"Guess you got to spin it again," Sevyn says.

Richie is scratching his head. Everyone is kind of silent. Stoney doesn't spin it again. He just laughs at that moment.

"Rules are rules," Stoney says.

"Well he's not going to do no FAGGOT ass bullshit," Sevyn says.

"Relax," Billy says, "It's just a dare."

"What?" Sevyn asks.

People start laughing. I'm sure everyone is too drunk to realize what is really happening though. Billy doesn't even seem to be taking it that serious. He gets up and walks over to the rock. He looks over at me when he's halfway there.

"You coming bro?" he asks me.

I can't help but to turn at that moment and see Sevyn's face. People are laughing and for the first time it seems as though they aren't laughing with her. They are laughing at her. Sevyn looks beyond pissed. She has this look on her face that makes me think she wants to kill me.

Syx gives me a look, "Yo---you don't have to do this."

Syx is soberer than I've noticed as well. He's been quiet mostly. Even when Helen damn near confessed that she had a crush on him he just gave her a "Thanks". Things like this weren't a big deal with him. He was used to girls using these games to confess their love for him and try to get a kiss or something. Syx was the most attractive guy in school. The only one that looked anywhere near as good as Syx was...well, it was Billy.

Maybe it's the fact that I was horny. Maybe it was the fact that I wanted to get under Sevyn's skin even more than I already was.

I get up at that moment. I make my way behind the rock.

Billy is sitting there. We are next to the stream. We can hear the others laughing and talking so loud that everything we're doing is drowned out.

"Um..." I start off.

"I'm not going to really kiss you," Billy says, "No one expects we really are. Just drive Sevyn nuts a little while. My girl hates you."

Billy laughs when he says that. I look over at him. Billy is sexy. I mean he is the typical "Ken Doll" as we liked to call them. They were all these perfect boys in school. A certain skin tone. A certain muscle mass. Billy was always the leader but Syx was always the one who all the girls wanted. No one would have dared said they had a crush on Billy even though I was sure a lot of people did. People were way too scared of getting on Sevyn's bad side.

"I can tell," I respond.

A few awkward seconds pass by and we are just sitting there. Whatever they are doing back at the fire must be entertaining because they are acting ratchet as fuck. I guess we are stranded on an island so there wasn't really anyone to care how loud we got.

"You might be helping me out," Billy admits.

"How so?" I ask.

"People are scared of the shit Sevyn does," Billy replies, "Even if I wanted to date another chick back home I couldn't. She's very...what's the word."

"Spoiled?"

He nods, "Kind of. She just needs to have it her way. All the time. It's actually nice that this one time she doesn't get what she wants. I'm pretty sure Stoney is on her shit list after making that dare. You are probably on her shit list just by coming back here with me."

"I've been on her shit list," I explain, "Still alive though. So I'll be fine."

God knows how long I'll be alive though. She was already plotting with her fucking brother to kill me.

"She wasn't always like this," he explains to me, "You know that right. Sevyn used to be the sweetest girl in middle school. Then she got real sick. She almost died. No one knew what the sickness was. Her father took her away. When she came back...she was different. She was so bitter all of a sudden..."

"Like he did something to her different?" I ask Billy.

Billy shrugs.

"I shouldn't be talking about this," he explains.

I'm annoyed. I was so interested all of a sudden. Why did things keep going back to Sevyn's father on this island? I knew he was my stepfather but when I met him I always thought he was mysterious. There was something about this family that I didn't know. It had to do with this island. I just didn't get what it was. I just realize staying for this game may have definitely been a good decision.

"Well what else we gonna do? Still have a few more minutes," I state.

"How about we try it?"

I swallow my spit.

"Come again."

"This kiss. Been years I haven't kissed anyone but Sevyn. So how about we try it?" he asks me.

"Sevyn will kill me."

"Like you said. You're already on her shit list. She'll kill you anyway," he laughs, "And she'll probably force me to help her."

I don't know if he's joking or serious. I don't get the chance to really think about it. That's because Billy pulls me into him and starts kissing me. At first it's just a soft peck on the cheek. Then I realize Billy's mouth is opening!

My mouth opens as well. He puts his tongue in my mouth. I'm shocked when he does it. Our tongues are clashing. I don't know how I end up on the ground. I don't even realize I'm on the ground until Billy is between my legs. We are kissing with this passion that I'm shocked by. Then I feel his hard dick in between my legs. I was really going IN with Billy. I'm shocked and turned on all at the same time. He's grinding me at that moment. Our tongues slap up against one another over and over again. We are breathing heavily. Our heartbeats are pressed up against one another.

His hand is on the back of my neck pulling me into him. We are kissing. The kissing gets heavier and heavier.

That's when I feel him slowly reaching for my dick. He gets a hold of it. I get a hold of his. We are slowly working each other's dicks in our hands. I'm in his pants in a matter of seconds. I can feel so much precum.

"You've got to be kidding me," a voice says.

I look up from the rock. It's Sevyn. She looks at us on the ground, our dicks are both still hard. Our hands are in each other's pants. Billy's tongue is still down my throat when his eyes open wide noticing his girlfriend is staring down at us. Billy retreats relatively quickly pulling himself off of me.

"I can explain...I....can..." Billy is struggling.

"Take a few seconds calm down and get the fuck out of here," Sevyn says, "And don't you fucking say a word about this."

The threat that comes out of her mouth is loud and clear.

Billy is breathing heavy when Sevyn leaves again. He is looking away from me. I can tell he's trying to get his dick soft. Just seeing Sevyn made mine soft.

I get up to go but Billy grabs my wrist.

"We need to do that again sometime man..." he whispers to me.

I don't know what to think when I get back. Syx is staring at me. Billy comes back a few seconds later. It's really awkward when he sits next to his girlfriend.

"So did it go down?" Richie asks, "Did you catch them Sevyn?"

"Naw. No homo shit," Sevyn responds.

I stay silent. She was embarrassed. That's why she was covering for us. She was embarrassed because her boyfriend was making out with me.

Billy nods in agreement, "We just couldn't do it. I'll drink. Jurnee, you can start us off next."

I turn to Sevyn.

"Sevyn truth or dare."

No one expects it. Everyone has been avoiding her.

She squints at me, "Truth."
