I'm grabbing fistfuls of the blondes frizzy hair as she tries to keep her weight down on me to try and swing, thankfully missing each time as I get off one good shot to her nose, hearing a satisfying crack as my fist collides perfectly into it. I'm watching the blood start to gush, getting all over her ugly white top as I push her off the minute she goes to grab at her face. I promptly shove her down to the ground, right as a slender pair of tattooed arms belonging to Scott pulls me away. "Nah come on knock that fuckin shit off for real! Sophie go the fuck home! We're done, D-O-N-E! I'm over this bullshit bro!" Scott yells, his voice stern, suddenly causing the entire room to fall eerily silent while his face is flushed with visible anger.
Sophie stands up with her nose still bleeding, streaking stains all over her pimple strewn face. She starts laughing smugly as she makes direct eye contact with me which I instantly cringe at. "Whatever Scott, have fun with your junkie whores anyway. Sooner or later you'll be begging for me to come back- begging for what we had. I know you still think about it, Scott. I know you still think about Mia and what could have been." My eyes widen just a bit, wondering who the fuck she thinks she's calling a whore and also who this Mia person was. What could have been? Was she talking about being pregnant? The thought alone makes me shudder, feeling sorry for whatever kid would end up with her as their mother. Scott just scoffs, shaking his head in clear disbelief as she walks off now along with the crowd of people that had gathered around us beginning to dissipate.
I don't even attempt to look Scott directly in the eyes, simply because I'm afraid that he's upset with me for stepping out of place and getting into a fight with his ex. He storms off in a hurry, leaving me and Ari to stand there a bit awkwardly. Just as he was about to speak up his phone rings obnoxiously loud, cutting right through the silence. He presses it to his ear and immediately I can hear Scott's voice on the other end yelling for a total of ten seconds, sounding mad as can be, for us to quote "Hurry the fuck up and get outside, I'm leaving with or without you." Ari hangs up a second later, stuffing it back into his pocket. "Uh well- I guess the party is over for us cupcake. Scott's outside in the car waiting to go." I just nod, following along with him as we say goodbye at least to Kevin and Coco before making our exit. "Hey sit up front with Scott please. I don't think he wants me near him right now." I mumble to him as we get closer to the car now. He gives me a knowing smile, nodding before we get inside.
Instantly weed smoke and the blaring sounds of Lil Wayne from the speakers surrounds us as we speed off into the early night. Scott hands the blunt he had been smoking over to Ari without saying a single word before passing it back to me. The tension is thick as we all share the blunt back and forth until eventually pulling up into the familiar driveway of their house. Scott shuts off the engine, still not talking but obviously Aristos must be able to read his mind as he starts to get out but motions for me to take his spot. I suck in a deep breath before hopping out, watching as Ari heads up the walkway while I get in beside Scott. He lets out a soft sigh, running his hands through his dreads as his eyes finally meet mine.
His jaw is clenched tightly, his hands grip the wheel hard enough that I can actually see his knuckles turning white. Fuck he was pissed. "Sorry for that situation back there. This is exactly why I don't like goin out and shit, always drama, always complicated." He starts off, his voice rasp but clearly had an irritated tone to it. "I didn't mean to step out of line either, Scott. I know I don't really know you all that well enough to pry into your private life but she deserved it." I stated rather bluntly which makes him let out a low chuckle. "I know she did believe me she's been had it coming to her. But the stuff she said- I know you heard it all. About Mia. She- she was talking about our daughter. Well- what would have been. It was a few years back, she was pregnant but had a miscarriage like almost three months into it. We broke up soon afterwards."
