“Fuck off.” I flip him off and head towards the door, listening to him laugh behind me.

What a fucking asshole.

Chapter Two

COLE

Istare at the door, shaking my head. The last thing I wanted to do this summer was babysit my sister. I guess that’s what happens when you leave college and come back home.

“Cole, baby?” I hear Monika call my name from my room down the hall.

I try not to roll my eyes. I don’t know why I keep toying with Monika. I have no real interest in her, but damn she’s a good lay.

I don’t answer, still staring at the door, thinking about that short little skirt that Charlie had on. Fuck if I don’t want to find out what she wears underneath that. I’m pissed that she’s ruined my night. Now I’m afraid I’m going to have to go to this party and make sure she stays out of trouble.

Charlotte Rose has always just been my baby sister’s best friend. She’s been in our lives for as long as I can remember, and I’ve never even looked twice at her. I’m not going to start now.

“Cole?” I hear Monika whine, again. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard right now.

I grit my teeth, trying to refrain from telling her to shut up. I have no one to blame but myself and my dick for bringing her over here today.

I stalk to the bedroom. Monika is naked, wrapped in my sheets, and her blonde hair a mess from our quick fuck earlier.

“Where did you go?” She pouts.

“To the kitchen. It’s time for you to go.” I gesture towards the door.

She scowls at me, throwing the blankets off her and making a show of getting up and searching around for her clothes.

I don’t feel bad. There isn’t a normal heart pumping inside of me––it’s a cold, black, lifeless heart that has years of walls built up. I have no intention of finding some girl and being her prince charming.

I don’t know what made me turn into the guy that I am today. This bad man with no intentions of turning into a good person. Some people blame their behavior on their parents. I’d have every reason to, but I won’t. They aren’t the reason I’m this way. I’d never want to be anything like them. It’s just something I decided for myself. I never wanted anyone to get close enough to me that I’d start feeling things. It’s not my style.

Not everyone needs a sob story for turning into a fucking asshole. Some of us were just destined to be this way.

“You’re a fucking asshole,” she seethes, taking the words straight out of my head, pushing me before walking out the door

“Right, but you’ll see me in a few days?” I call out as she flips me off.

I grab my phone and keys, dialing my best friend, Tyler, before heading out the door. Tyler doesn’t care where the party is, he’s always down for one.

“I can’t believe you let your baby sister go to a college party,” he says, climbing into my truck.

“Do you think if I knew it was a college party, I would have let her go, dickhead?” I growl, throwing the car into reverse.

All I can think about is how fast these college fucks will be after the two of them, especially wearing what they were wearing. My sister will be the fucking death of me.

“So, how long you in town for?” Tyler asks the question that’s on everyone’s mind. Especially my dad’s.

I shrug. “I’m not sure yet.”

That’s the truth. I spent a full year at college and found out it wasn’t for me. There’s definitely more to that than what I intend on telling people, but they know better than to expect me to pour my heart out.

I want bigger and better things for my life that don’t involve sitting behind a desk for the next few years.

“I can’t believe your dad let you drop out.”

“I didn’t drop out. Not yet anyway. I don’t know what I’m doing. My dad doesn’t have a say. I'm not a kid anymore.”
