2. Secret Life

**Axton POV**

"Dude, that was seriously not cool." Jeana bit at Xavier, only earning an arrogant shrug as he took a swig from his beer. I knew he couldn't stand to see her get hit on by the Noel guy, especially since she was entertaining it. He was way too easy to make angry. "You took Makayla, and now you drove off Faith too. I never see them and you always ruin it."

"I didn't fucking take Makayla. She's up in her room doing blow like usual. Not my fault she picks that over you."

I watched Faith for as long as I could. She must have forgot that her shirt was stuck to her back too, because she held it off her chest as she walked and gave a nice view of her backside the whole time. She really was hot under all that, and I think Xavier knew it, too. That's one of the reasons he was so pissed off that she wouldn't flaunt it for him to see.

"I literally just got her to come out. You know how hard that is?" I drawled to my brother, ticked off at him for making her go in. Her and Jeanna were distracting two of the guys, easily upping my chances of taking one of these other girls up to my room.

"Whatever. Not like she was contributing anything here. Nothing to look at, and boring to talk to."

"I was enjoying looking and talking to her," Noel defended, clearly not happy with the interruption.

Xavier hardened his gaze on his new enemy, "Then go follow her. I'm positive you'll be disappointed."

I could see him genuinely thinking about it, and I had to stop him from being embarrassed, "Don't follow her. She's not fucking you."

"You don't know that. She was totally talking to me."

"I do know that. She's friendly until you're too serious. Then she'll hurt your feelings."

"You need to apologize," Jeanna snapped at Xavier, still clearly fuming. I was pretty used to him talking shit about her, so it wasn't very new to me, but I know Jeanna wasn't around often enough to see how cruel he was to her sometimes.

"She's fine. She got some water on her, it's not like I tried to fucking kill her." Xavier quipped back, starting a bickering fest between the two. I shook my head at them, then got up to head to her room. I knocked on her door, not hearing a response, so I opened it. The bathroom was shut, and I could hear the shower turn off inside.

I knocked softly, "Faith?" I heard a loud sigh from inside. "Please, don't sound so excited."

"I'm fine, Axton. Just want to go to bed."

"Just wanted to check on you." I was silent for a little while, and finally, the door opened to her angry face. She was so tiny, almost a foot shorter than me, and the giant hoodie and sweatpants only made her look smaller. They swallowed her. It was actually so funny to see her wear that kind of stuff when she had not only a banging body, but also practically unlimited money to get herself some more flattering clothes. Her hair was dry and she had finally let it down from the clip that bothered Xavier so much. It fell around her in full, loose waves, almost down to her ass, and her face was bare. She was actually still really pretty without any makeup, with delicate features and these stormy grey eyes. She could seriously be really hot if she actually put the effort in.

"I'm fine. I know how he is. It's not that big of a deal."

"I know you're upset though. Or, embarrassed."

"Uh, yeah. Everyone was laughing at me getting shoved in like an idiot. I'm not sticking around after that."

"I mean, no one was laughing, except Xavier."

"Well, everyone was looking at me, and I was tired of being a spectacle."

"'Cause everyone saw that you looked hot. That's all. No one was making fun of you except my bitch of a brother, and everyone just thought he was a dick."
