All I Never Had

Chapter Thirty Two

Gracie ~

It took exactly two drinks and one shot at Lucky's to work up the courage to show up at Wes' party after my run in with Trisha and I may or may not have polished those off in a matter of fifteen minutes.

I usually didn't drink that much in such a short period of time, but I needed the liquid courage. I hated causing drama or walking into a situation where I knew there would be conflict, but I couldn't let her get away with what she said and I just knew she'd be all over Wes once she got there.

Maggie and Mandy were completely on board and were two drinks ahead of me which probably wasn't the greatest idea, but we ubered over to the house anyway, ready to put Trisha in her place.

Blake was in the front yard shotgunning beers with a few of his friends as soon as we pulled up and practically lifted Mandy off the ground when he hugged her.

He cupped her face so he could look into her eyes. "A little tipsy aren't ya?" He scoffed before giving her another hug.

"Screw you." Mandy said with a flirty grin.

Cuties.

"You guys want one?" Blake asked us, opening up a cooler.

One more couldn't hurt.

I took a beer from the cooler and quickly started to chug the contents as I entered the house, scanning the crowd of people for Trisha's face.

"I don't see her." I said to Mandy who was glaring into the sea of people.

"Me either."

"Maybe she was just talking shit." Maggie added, which was totally possible.

I shrugged my shoulders as we made our way from the kitchen to the living room, then the patio and back again. No sign of her.

Maybe she lied about coming just to get under my skin. Bitch.

Chad was at the beer pong tables, flailing his arms like an idiot to get our attention which put an instant smile on Maggie's face.

"Wes went to get a quick shower before you got here." Chad said as he draped an arm across Maggie's shoulders and kissed her temple.

"Maybe I'll go check on him" I said, wiggling my eyebrows at my friends as I set my beer down and headed toward the hallway, laughing at their loud cheers and whistles as I disappeared out of sight.

I ran my fingers through my hair, fluffing it slightly as I pulled my top down and adjusted it as I placed my hand on the doorknob and turned it.

I was expecting to walk into an empty room with Wes still in the shower, or possibly Wes getting dressed by his closet, but what I actually saw sucked the air from my lungs and made my stomach drop to the floor.

Trisha smiled at me from Wes' bed, pulling his sheets up to cover her naked body.

Oh my god, no.

I clutched at my stomach which started to roll and churn as Trisha laughed at me from Wes' bed...wrapped in Wes' sheets...naked.

He wouldn't do this to me. He wouldn't.

I squeezed my eyes shut as I repeated the words to myself in my mind before Wes emerged from the bathroom with a towel around his waist and a big smile across his face.

He's naked too. They...they couldn't have.

Trisha let her eyes bounce from Wes back to me as she clutched the sheets a little tighter.
