“Hi.” I reply back, and take a sip of my lemonade.

“Having fun?” he asks, his dark eyes looking down at me.

“I am.”

He leans against the stand.

“Are you staying for the carnival?”

I look up at him for a beat.

What if he was the guy from last year?

“I think so.”

His full lips turn up into a grin.

“Nice.” he says before turning to Samuel. “Time to rotate. We got an hour left.”

Samuel nods his head before stepping to the side door and coming out.

“Where is Sullivan?” he asks as he stands next to Sebastian.

Sullivan.

I haven’t seen him anywhere today.

“He’s sick or something. He will probably be by later for the carnival if he feels up for it.”

We all somehow end up in a little group, and I look over to see Willow was having a side conversation, rather heated, with Justin. They were off to the side, near one of the rides.

I walk over to them as the other guys start talking to each other.

“You can leave.” Willow says, whispering.

“Oh you would fucking love that wouldn’t you? Then you’re fucking free for all.” Justin says back.

Free for all?

“Whose fault is this Justin?” she says. “You fucking cheated on me.”

I stop in my steps. What?

“It was an accident!” his voice gets louder.

“Yeah, you just happened to trip and slip your dick inside one of my friends.”

Friends?

I walk closer.

Willow was facing me, so she could see me approaching finally.

She doesn’t even say anything more to him, just walks around him and walks toward me.

“Did you hear any of that?” she asks, and her eyes shone with unshed tears.

I search her eyes, before I decide to not lie.
