say. He looked at me then at Havock. “Reese, your boyfriend is drowning in syrup.”
Janet got up and got me a dish rag. After she wet it she handed it me. She looked at Garrett then walked out of the room. I leaned Havock back in his chair and cleaned him up.
Havock’s eyes shot open and he grabbed my wrist. When he saw it was me he let go. “Shit, I thought I was being attacked.” He touched the side of his face. “What the-” He looked down at his plate then at his hand. “So not cool.”
“I was trying to clean you up,” I said with a chuckle.
“I would’ve been cool with you just licking me,” he teased as he grabbed the towel from me. “I’ll go take a shower.” He got up and looked at Garrett who was pointing to a door down the hall. He stumbled towards the bathroom.
I followed after him and steadied him. “Umm...you sure you’re stable enough to do that?”
Janet walked by us. She smirked at us but didn’t say anything as she went back into the living room with Garrett.
Havock leaned his head back against the wall. “Holy shit, how much did they give me? This shouldn’t affecting me like this.” He put his palm to his forehead. He was sweating. He looked at the bathroom. “I think I’m gonna be sick.”
I helped him into the bathroom and to the toilet. We made just in time.

After Havock fell asleep, I walked to Jackson's house which luckily wasn't too far away from J’s. After seeing Havock puke his guts out, I was beyond pissed. Jackson crossed the line. He needed to be dealt with.
I knocked on the door. I was relieved when Jackson opened the door and not his parents.
He laughed. "I can't say I'm shocked to see you."
“We need to talk.” I glared at him. I checked my phone in my pocket and made sure it was recording. I was going to get a confession one way or another.
“You know he deserved it.” He stepped outside and shut the door.
"No he didn't! You could have killed him, you Jack-ass!" I snapped as we walked away from the house and behind the barn, out of sight.
He laughed. "What exactly are we doing back here, Reese? You know the best way to get revenge would be to sleep together."
“I’m not going to sleep with you, you ass! You’re going to admit what you did to Havock to the principal.” I turned on him then shoved him hard in the chest. He went a little further then he should have. I'll chalk that up to how angry I was.
He scoffed and steadied himself on his feet. "No, I'm not.”
Anger filled me. "Yes, you are." I took a step closer to him.
"Does he know you're here?" He laughed.
"No, he's out from all the drugs you pumped into him."
"Do you honestly blame me? You can't tell me you don't want to beat the shit out of Janzy."
"Beating the shit out of someone and drugging them up is two different things. Now you and I are heading to the school right now," I said as I started to walk off. Something was bubbling on the surface.
"No one is there. Unless, you are wanting to talk to the janitors."
"Fine, then we'll go to his house." I continued to walk.
He didn't follow. "I'm going inside."
I grabbed his arm to stop him. "No, you're not," I snapped.
"Wow, you're really persistent aren't you?” He jerked his arm away. "I'm not admitting to anything. He deserved it and you’re so dumb you actually forgive him."
I pushed him again and this time I slammed him against the barn. I was shaking I was so angry and as I shook, it felt like the ground was as well. "I may be little, but I'm tougher than I look. This is your last chance to do this the easy way." I grabbed the front of his shirt and threw him. Literally threw him to the ground.
He cursed as he made it back to his feet. "How did you do that?!" He said in shock. He was a very tall, very large, football player.
