𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 the crowds of people that were in the backyard. After the toast to Montgomery, everyone had scattered to get hammered, or high, or other things, but all Nessa wanted to do was find Scott. She needed to tell him what she had been sitting on ever since Montgomery had gotten arrested all those weeks ago.

Scott was standing in a crowd, chatting with a few of his baseball buddies. He saw Nessa before she reached him, and a bright smile crept across his face as she walked up to greet him, forcing a smile as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Hey, baby." Scott said drunkenly as he kissed her. "What's up?"

"Can I talk to you?" Nessa asked sweetly, trying to play her cool. "Alone?"

"Ooh." one of the baseball boys teased. "Scotty is about to get laid or get yelled at!"

Scott chuckled and rolled his eyes, hitting the boy next to him.

"Whichever it is, you'll never know!" Nessa joked as she dragged her boyfriend away from his friends and into a secluded part of the backyard that they were in.

"We can do this at home, you know." Scott said cheekily through a laugh. "My parents are out of town."

"I love you, but I am not bringing you here to have sex with you." Nessa told her boyfriend as she put a more serious look on her face. Scott's frame immediately stiffened once he saw how dark, yet watery, his girlfriend's eyes were.

"Are you okay?" Scott asked as he grabbed Nessa's hand, leading her over to a bench that was positioned between some trees, where no one would find them unless they were trying hard.

Nessa could lie, and say yes, but she had lied enough. She had to tell the truth.

"No, I'm not." she spoke up as her voice broke and tears began to prickle in her eyes. Scott rubbed his fingers against the skin of her hand, maintaining eye contact.

"I need to tell you something." Nessa said softly, fighting her tears. "And I need you to promise me that you'll listen to me entirely. You can be mad, you can refuse to talk to me, but I need you to listen to me."

Scott nodded, and anyone with one working eye could tell that Scott Reed was nervous as hell.

"You're scaring me, baby." Scott told Nessa softly, and she nodded as the tears that were in her eyes finally broke the walls and covered her cheeks. She took a deep breath, and squeezed Scott's hand with one hand and grasped her phone with the other.

"There's something I haven't told you, or anyone else, and I know that I should have." Nessa began. Her breath hitched again, but she continued.

"The night that Montgomery was arrested, I..." Nessa trailed off. She couldn't look Scott in the eyes.

"He called me." Nessa admitted as the river of tears only continued. "It was a few days after I laid into him about Tyler, we had just gone to the police station, and I was pissed, Scott."
