Chapter 12: Jared

My lips stretch across my teeth. "Who’s looking for Layla?" I ask.

A blond guy is holding a plastic cup of alcohol and points it at himself while wearing a f*cking grin. "Me. And you are?"

"Kieran, go into the kitchen." Chester pushes Kieran’s chest, and he stumbles back, spilling his drink across his shirt.

I need to leave before I allow the violence to pour from me. I turn and pull the front door open. I don’t bother to close it behind me.

"Yo, Jay!" Chester calls after me, but he can f*ck right off. I’ve parked my car down a side lane at the end of the housing estate. Chester has warned everyone not to touch my vehicle. They listen to him. Here, he is the king—just not to me. No one rules over me.

I get in, and I find myself driving in the opposite direction of my home. After a while, the group of houses I’m starting to become accustomed to seeing comes into sight. The small white fences all in a row tell me I’m close to hers.
