sure it’s about a girl.”
My father let out a chuckle as I looked over at him. “Must be something in the air,” he said as he started walking off on his horse.
SITTING ON MY tailgate, I kept my eye on Colt. Taylor had told us that Colt seemed to be drinking a lot in the beginning of the year until his football coach set him straight. One thing I noticed though, he couldn’t keep his eyes off Lauren. I glanced over and saw Lauren sitting on a log laughing at something one of her girlfriends said. She looked up and caught me watching her. She smiled and waved. I waved back and grinned.
Someone bumped my leg and I looked to see Colt standing there. “My dad told you to keep an eye on me or something, Luke?” I smiled and let out a chuckle as I nodded my head. “I know he’s worried about me, but I think he’s more worried about Alex.”
I looked over at Colt. “Alex? Why?”
Colt shrugged. “Probably the same reason we all worry about the girls.”
I followed Colts gaze. “You ever talk to Lauren and get things straightened out?”
Colt lifted the Coke bottle to his lips and shook his head. He took a drink and then laughed. “Nope. She just pretends like we are the best of friends. She isn’t dating anyone, but that’s not very fair of me to be happy about that.”
“How are things with you and Rachel?”
“I broke up with her.” He turned and looked at me. “She wanted us to sleep together.”
I pulled my head back and looked at him. “You broke up with her because she wanted to sleep with you?”
Colt let out a sigh. “No, I broke up with her because I walked in on her fucking another guy. She was pissed at me because I wouldn’t sleep with her. I didn’t want to sleep with her. I mean, I didn’t love her. She deserved to have her first time be with someone who loved her and would cherish that moment.”
I lifted the left side of my mouth into a smile. “So much like your damn daddy, you know that? Romantic bastard.”
Colt laughed and then shook his head. “I guess, maybe it’s because I want my first time to be with someone I love. Someone who I’ll cherish the moment with.”
My smile faded as I looked back out into the crowd. I’d never have that moment back. Lauren was now up and dancing with a few friends while they laughed.
“Yeah, you never get that moment back, Colt. Don’t fuck it up like I did.”
Colt turned and looked at me. I knew he wanted to ask me about it, but he didn’t.
“If you could go back and change that night, would you?” Colt asked. I slowly turned and looked at him.
“In a heartbeat. If I could take away the biggest mistake of my life, I’d do it no questions asked.”
Colt smiled weakly and nodded his head. “Why don’t you just tell her, Luke?”
My heart instantly hurt. “Because she’s moved on.”
Colt looked back out to Lauren. “Why do they have to fuck with our heads and hearts so much?”
I closed my eyes and thought back to me kissing Libby in the rain. Opening my eyes I said, “They probably think the same thing about us.”
ZACH WALKED UP and took me in his arms. “I’m really going to miss you, Lib.”
I smiled and reached up to kiss him. “I’ll miss you too, Zach.” I stepped back and turned to shut my suitcase. I would be leaving soon to meet Alex and Grace in Austin. Then we were driving to the coast for spring break. The thought of being with Luke all week raced through my mind. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. I hadn’t seen much of Luke at all. Will told me Luke spent most of his time working out or studying. According to Abigail, he spent much of his time fucking her. Any chance she had to talk to me, she was sure to tell me about their hook ups.
I hate her.
I jumped when Zach placed his hands on my shoulders. “Let me relax you, Libby.” His hand slowly moved down my arm to my stomach. “Baby, you seem so tense.”
My stomach clenched at the idea of Zach relaxing me. We had yet to have
