hell away from my brother.”
    “Well, I will say you’ve gotten a little more spunk in you since Drew’s been boinkin’ you.”
    “Ashton, just shut the fuck up!” Drew chimed in.
    “I get it, bro. You don’t want me pissing off your piece of ass and I respect that, but maybe you should tell her to lighten up a little so we could all get along.”             
    “I will never get along with you and I will never be friends with you, so I don’t have to lighten up.”
    “Suit yourself, Becca. I didn’t come here to talk to you, anyway. I came to see Drew.” He raised his eyebrow at me before turning his attention to Drew. “A bunch of us guys are going kayaking today and maybe doing a little par-taying after. You in?” Drew looked at me almost like he was asking my permission. Unfortunately, Ashton picked up on it right away as well. “Oh my God, are you fuckin’ serious?” Ashton shouted. “She has you that whipped already?”
    I did my best to ignore him, but at the same time I didn’t want Drew to feel as if he had to ask for my approval to go. Even though I couldn’t help but wonder in the back of my mind, what girls would be at this party afterward. I wrapped my arms around Drew’s neck and kissed him deeply, acting as if Ashton wasn’t even standing two feet away. “Have fun today and call me later,” I said.
    “See ya, gorgeous,” he said, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek.
    It took everything in me to keep walking out the door and not smack Ashton across the face when he shouted, “Oh my God, I think I’m gonna throw up!”
    I hopped into my car and pulled my phone from my purse to call my brother. “Great!” I said, upon noticing that the battery had gone dead. Reality was finally sinking in and I was praying that he had behaved himself last night, especially after I promised my parents that I would keep a close eye on him this weekend.
    My stomach dropped when I pulled into the driveway and saw my father’s car. They weren’t supposed to be back until tonight. I felt myself instantly breaking out in a sweat as I tried to come up with an excuse as to where I spent the night. My legs were trembling as I walked up the driveway and in the front door.
    “Becca! Is that you?” my mother shouted from the family room.
    I slowly inched my way closer. “Yeah, what’s going–” my jaw dropped when I saw my mother walking around the living room, tossing beer bottles into a garbage bag. “What….what happened?” I asked.
    “I don’t know, Becca. Why don’t you tell us?” my father asked as he came walking down the steps.
    “I-I…..had to do some work on the charity yesterday for Lynn and then Krista and I went back to her house and watched a few movies and I ended up falling asleep.”
    “Don’t lie to me, Becca!” my father shouted. “I called Krista looking for you and she said she had no clue where you were. You were with that boy, weren’t you?” I looked at him and nodded. “Well, while you were out having fun last night, your brother decided to throw a party with God knows how many kids getting drunk off their asses and trashing the house.”
    “He promised me that he–”
    “He promised you! Are you that stupid, Becca? You know better than to believe that!”
    “Look, Dad, I’m sorry if Jordan can’t be trusted to be left alone in the house at seventeen years old. But I shouldn’t have to be his babysitter that makes sure that he behaves himself all the time. Maybe you need to take up whatever issues he’s having with him and not me. I’m sick of being lectured over his mistakes!” I shouted, surprising myself a little. I never raised my voice to my dad.
    “Who do you think you are speaking to in that tone?” He inched closer to me. “What, do you think you can talk to your father anyway you want now because you’re out whoring around with that boy?”
    My heart dropped over his words. “Jeff, that’s enough!” my mother shouted. Tears
