Chapter 5

I freeze immediately recognising Scott’s voice.

Oh my gosh.

The back door swings open and the next thing I know Marshall is being pulled off of me.

Oh my gosh!

I sit up and Scott’s face comes into view. He looks away immediately shielding his eyes. “Goodness, Mia! Get dressed, we’re leaving.” He snaps.

I feel all the blood drain from my face.

Oh. My. Goodness!

How did he even find me?

I scramble to sit upright immediately throwing my top over my head as I get out.

Marshall looks so embarrassed standing there in only his jeans. I want to rush towards him and apologise but Scott immediately grabs my arm yanking me in the direction of his car.

“I am so freaking disappointed in you Mia! What the hell were you thinking?” Scott starts going on a rant lecturing me all the way to his car.

I look back at Marshall hopelessly not being able to do anything as Scott gently pushes me into the passenger seat.

Scott gets into the driver’s seat and for a second he just places his hands on the steering wheel unmoving.

I stare at the ground not knowing what to say or do. There’s really no way of defending myself here.

“Wanna explain yourself even though it won’t do you any good?” He asks stiffly and I really have no words.

“How did you even find me?” Is all I can mutter.

Scott runs a hand down his face.

“Wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how a horny teenager’s mind works.”

My face heats up, I open my mouth but Scott turns on me, his expression furious.

“Mia, for goodness sake! I expected better.”

“I was just trying to be a normal kid and fit in for once.” I argue.

Scott’s face softens but he still looks disappointed.

I drop my hands to my side in exasperation.

“I’ve never really just been a kid, you know. I just wanted this one thing. I know it was stupid and I shouldn’t have done it but I did okay? Can we drop it?”

I look out the window part of me hoping no one had witnessed my humiliation right now. Hoping Marshall is okay and doesn’t hate me.

Scott lets out a breath.

“Sneaking off is one thing but letting that asshole almost take your virginity in the back of his car? You’re better than that, Mia.”

His words sting and I really can’t believe my brothers best friend caught me almost about to have sex for the first time.

“Drew’s gonna kill me, isn’t he?” I mutter.

Scott looks at his phone and let’s out a sigh.

“He’s actually gonna kill both of us.”

I look up at him in confusion just as he starts the car.

“What?”

Surely Scott looks stressed as he scrolls through his phone again, whatever is there doesn’t make him happy at all.

“Listen, I gotta head to your brother’s and my… job. There’s something urgent I need to take care of. I really shouldn’t be taking you with me but… I have no choice right now. In fact your bother is gonna kill me but -“ he stops himself.

I furrow my brows. “Why would Drew care that you’re taking me to the bar he works at?”

Sure Drew probably wouldn’t like that Scott took his seventeen year old little sister to a bar. But considering what I had just done, I doubt that would be the main issue.

Still, I saw fear etched on Scott’s face.

“You’ll see.” Was all he said as he started backing away.
