“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said coyly.

“Yes, you do, Little Rabbit, and I understand. Keep my nose out of my sister’s relationship. Message received, loud and clear.”

With a smile, she nipped my bottom lip, the little act of defiance making me want to drag her over my lap for a scolding. She knew exactly what she was doing to me.

“Guys, knock it off,” Ivy yelled.

I looked over just in time to see Sabastian deck Zigzag, who shockingly didn’t go down, but stumbled back.

“You fucker,” Zigzag shouted and lunged at Sabastian.

“Oh my god,” Ren said, jumping up off the couch like she was going to get involved. I stood in her way and shook my head.

“I’ll deal with this.”

Putting two fingers between my lips, I whistled, and a moment later, the rest of the guys came running. Myles and Rory grabbed Zigzag, while Nash and I restrained Sabastian.

“You fucking prick. You stay away from my girl,” Sabastian growled as we hauled him back.

“Fuck you! I will do what I want. And if Ivy leaving you is a concern, then maybe look in the mirror to see why,” Zigzag snarled.

Sabastian fought our hold, trying to get loose.

“Both of you knock it off,” Ivy cried, tears running down her cheeks as she glared at them. “For now…I’m done with both of you.”

“What,” they said together, but Ivy was already on her way to the girls’ bathroom with Ren hot on her heels.

“You two need to leave,” Nash said. “Separately.”

“But he started it,” Sabastian said. “He kissed my girlfriend.”

“I have enough shit to deal with without adding your love life to the list. Just get out of here and cool off, and we’ll make sure Ivy gets back to school,” Nash ordered.

“Whatever,” Sabastian said, jerking away from us and stomping to the door.

Theo and I followed him out to make sure that he wasn’t waiting around. Sabastian glared at us as he got in his car, revved the engine, and flew out of the parking lot.

Myles and Rory waited for my signal before they escorted Zigzag outside.

“Well, wasn’t that a banger,” Myles said before going back inside.

Zigzag’s car disappeared out of the lot, and I turned to talk to Theo. He glared at me and started to walk away, but I grabbed his arm.

“What’s up with you? You’ve either ignored me or glared at me all night.”

“What the hell do you think is up with me,” Theo asked.

“I assume you’re upset about what I said in the car. But I thought you wanted to know what I’m thinking. You keep saying that I’m not sharing enough. Now I share, and you’re still angry.”

He crossed his arms and stared at me like I’d lost my mind.

“It’s not that you shared with me, it’s the fact that you dropped a bomb on me out of nowhere.”

“Theo, you’re the most logical person I know. I really didn’t think you would be surprised or this upset.”

I was really off my game tonight because I was striking out with my sister and Theo. I was worried there might be a number three.

“You thought I wouldn’t care that you suddenly don’t want to come to Boston with me? How do you want me to react to that news?”
