Chapter 79

I’d rather piss off a whole bus full of people than upset you. I don’t need to be scared anymore. Who the fuck’s gonna say shit around Jason these days, anyway? I guarantee, he’s no less likely to pick a fight than he was then.” Scooter put his arm around Andy’s shoulders and drew him up against Scooter’s side.
Andy hesitated for a moment, then let himself lean into it. If he felt a twinge of guilt for pushing Scooter, it was all but swallowed by the sense of relief. Stupid, he chided himself, but his emotional state continued to remain largely unaffected by his logical arguments. “Hell, it would probably make Jason’s day to get to tell someone off for being a jackass.”
