chapter 25

sal and larry stood in front of me with weird looks. larry had a joint in his hand.

"oh, hey guys."

"what are you, uh, doing?" sal cocked his head.

i furrowed my brows. "smoking? what does it look like?" i glanced over at luke, who was nonchalantly smoking the blunt. like he had barely noticed them in the first place.

he finally looked up and nodded. "what's up, larry?"

larry raised his brows, looking unimpressed. "hey." he then glanced back at me. "so you guys know each other?"

i shrugged. "i mean, yeah, for like an hour."

sal sighed. "um.. can we steal you for a second? it's ash."

fuck. probably about what happened earlier. "alright." i stood up and then looked back down to luke. "i'll see you around. it was nice to meet you."

he smiled. "nice to meet you too, y/n."

as i walked between sal and larry, i could sense the weird tension. "is something wrong?"

larry looked back, as if making sure we were far enough so no one would hear. "y/n, what were you doing with that kid? he's a total psycho."

my eyes widened. "what? we were just talking for a little. he offered some weed and i'm not turning free weed down."

"no, he's fucking insane. like, set his ex girlfriend's car on fire insane. he liked ash at one point too, until she got with this other dickhead. has she-?"

"that marco guy? yeah. i know." i was still a little bitter that i found out about that whole situation from some random guy i just met. "but.. i didn't know about that other stuff. he said he was friends with ash at one point."

"friends? barely. he totally wanted her. but that's besides the point. i'm not one to tell you what to do... but you should probably stay away from him." larry looked at me with a worried expression.

i was silent for a moment. "well, what did he do? did he actually set someone's car on fire?"

sal and larry both sighed deeply, but larry continued to talk. "yeah.... i remember she was in my math class in middle school. she broke up with him and he went batshit."

"he didn't get in trouble?"

larry shrugged. "unfortunately no. she really liked him at the time, but he was just really toxic. she blamed it on a freak accident so he didn't get in trouble."

"holy fuck."

sal chimed in. "he got super high at a party a few months ago and beat the living shit out of this guy for bumping into him. they both weren't sober at all and it was literally a stupid fight that escalated horribly."

larry nodded. "the kid had a broken nose and got a couple teeth knocked out. he's just not the type of person you want to be around, okay?"

i exhaled. "jesus... i could've never guessed that. i don't know, he just seemed so.. i don't know. not like that."

"it's so weird. his personality and then the shit he's done is like night and day." larry rubbed his neck. "but anyways, ash is super upset right now. she said you guys ran into marco? why did you guys separate?"

"fuck, he said something to her and she was like, instantly set off. she ran away from me."

"oh. yeah, she's right over here." larry and sal led me back to ash's car where she was sitting on the hood. todd was standing by trying to comfort her.
