Chapter 16

“Course.” Alex’s brows furrow in confusion.

“This guy stopped by a few days ago, when you were passed out on my couch,” I begin.

“What did he want?” Alex asks. “Why didn’t you wake me?”

“He was asking for Lana. He was weird though.” I push away from the table and lean back.

“What was weird about it?” Alex sits back.

“When I told him Lana was out, he started yelling for her, like I was hiding her or something.” I slide a glance at Lana, but she’s not listening to us. She’s still busy with Shaina.

“Was he high?” Alex half laughs, but he looks uncertain.

“I don’t know. He said he’d be back later.” I keep an eye on Lana. I don’t want to upset her again.

“Did you tell Lana?” Alex asks.

“Yeah, and she got really upset.” I lean closer and lower my voice. “She wouldn’t talk about it. She just shut down, and she looked… scared.”

“What do you think it is?” Alex asks. “An ex? Maybe she had a stalker before?”
