I'm not entirely sure how we got to this point - the one where all three of us were somewhat willing to share one girl, but f**k was it hard to stop. When we stop and think about it, none of us know when and where it began and at the same time, how to end it. Not that we wanted to. Not that... we could even if we tried. It's like... Suri was a part of us now.

Those days that I kept denying it, telling myself that I wanted her out of our lives. It turns out it was just my way of stopping myself from facing the cold hard truth - that I needed her in my life more than anyone else in this godforsaken world.

I knew Wes and Devon felt the exact same way, too. We all craved for her and somehow it's this craving that's changed a part of us one way or another.

Wes stopped f*****g around with every female he was attracted to. Devon who often drowned himself with extracurricular activities actually seemed less uptight now.

And me? Well... Keith says I'm less of an a*****e now. Wes too, and I quote, "Your head is almost halfway out of your own a*s." What a dick head.

But I guess they're right. I do feel... different. I feel as if I want to be different. For her.

"Is she still knocked out?" Wes asked as he sat down beside me by the jet lounge.

He's got a tray of alcoholic drinks and sweets. Of course, this is his favorite part in all of Keith's jets - the buffet. It used to be the flight stewardesses, but that's clearly changed now. He doesn't even bat an eyelid over their direction. "Yup," I nodded as I took a swig of my glass of whiskey.

Suri almost ran to her suite when we got inside the jet. She was quieter than usual, but we just assumed she was tired and was trying not to converse with Keith any further.

"It's a damn good thing daddy-o didn't suspect a thing," Wes commented with a low chuckle.

"Oh he knows," Devon said as he appeared from somewhere and sat on the other side.

"At least, for the most part. He doesn't know... everything." He said the last part in a more hushed tone as a stewardess passed by us.

We remained quiet until she disappeared.

"What do you mean by 'the most part'? What part?" Wes asked with a curious tone as he leaned forward, his elbows on his knees with his hands clasped together.

"The part where we all suddenly want to be near Suri 24/7, duh. We live under one roof. It's not that obvious to spot." Devon exclaimed as he shrugged his shoulders. "I bet the whole house noticed it, too." "So... what should we do?" Wes' eyes glanced at both of us.

"Nothing. He'll figure it out sooner or later, anyway." I answered monotone.

There was a few seconds of silence until Devon spoke up again.

"What if it's not her? What then?" He asked with an expression as if he was deep in thought. He shook his head. "f**k it, what if it is her? Then what? Are we going to keep doing this?"

I'm not entirely sure how we got to this point - the one where all three of us were somewhat willing to share one girl, but f**k was it hard to stop. When we stop and think about it, none of us know when and where it began and at the same time, how to end it. I placed my glass on the glass table in the middle before giving him a look. "We didn't do 'this' just out of the f*****g whim."

Devon scoffed at me. "I f*****g know that, a*****e, but you know what I mean, too. Hell, last I checked you're the one who didn't believe in mates just a few days ago."

My fists clenched tightly at my side as I tried not to let my temper take over. "Mate or not, I know who I want, and it's her. There is only her for me so whatever the f**k it is, it'll work out. I'll make sure it does."

I know deep down that I'll do whatever it takes. Suri was my endgame. f**k everyone else.

Devon let out a sigh. "As much as we all feel the same, don't you think we should prioritize her safety as well? Like I said earlier, bringing her into our world is dan-"

"I know what you said," I cut off Devon as I spoke through gritted teeth, his words and this topic beginning to rile me up.

"Don't get all your panties in a twist now," Wes interjected, trying to pacify the tension between Devon and I that was obviously beginning to get more intense.

"I'm not," Devon replied as he crossed his arms in front of his chest and he narrowed his eyes on me. "I'm just looking out for Suri, like we all should be doing, but Atlas doesn't seem to care about the repercussions of what we're doing." That's f*****g it.

My hands slammed on the table, the noise it made louder than I expected it. I stood up and grabbed Devon by the collar of his shirt, raising him as I leveled him with a glare. "Don't you think I know that? Don't you think that hasn't been eating me up every single time I'm with her or even just when I think about her? Don't you think that-"

"Boys? What was that noise?"

Our heads all glanced to the other side where Keith had come out of his suite, his eyes bloodshot as he looked to be sleeping, the eye mask moved up his head.

Oops. I woke him up.

"Atlas? What are you doing to your brother now?" He looked at me with an unamused expression and I quickly let him go. "Nothing. We were just having a chat." I answered as I straightened Devon's clothes.

Keith didn't seem convinced at all, but he also doesn't look like he has the energy to deal with any of us right now. He sighed before shaking his head and speaking. "Try not to break anything in the jet, please. And get some sleep. You three have a big day as soon as we get there." He made sure to look us all in the eyes before stepping back into his room and closing the door.

Big f*****g day indeed.

I hadn't noticed Devon has taken a few steps forward until he's almost hovering over me. We all pretty much have the same height, but the way he's looking at me from down his nose shows that he was trying to instigate dominance between the two of us. "I don't know what the hell will happen tomorrow, but I do know that I can't imagine a life without her. I will do everything to keep Suri." Devon declared with a certain resolve in his voice and expression.

"I mean, since we're all being sappy and hopeless romantic f***s now then yes, I agree. I mean, if me cutting s****l ties with every other girl doesn't already prove that then I don't f*****g know what will." Wes shrugged shoulders and chuckled lightly. "Thank the Moon Goddess I don't have to hear girls scream in your room every night." Devon exclaimed with an eye roll at Wes.

"I know you liked it," Wes wiggled his eyebrow at him.

Devon groaned. "No, I really did not."

"Well then I'm sure you'll like hearing Suri screa-"

"Don't even finish that sentence," Devon cut him off with a stern glare and Wes snickered at him before they both turned to me. "Well, Atlas? Aren't you a quiet one? Don't you feel the same way about Suri? Are you all in or not?"

"|-"

The loud ringing of my phone stopped me from replying and when I looked down at my hand, the caller ID was from Emily.

s**t. I completely forgot about her. Last I talked to her was the weekend before boxing camp and when I didn't show up to her place. I told her something came up-Suri did-and I pretty much forgot everything else.

I know she's not going to the party because her parents forbade her, which is why I was going to take advantage of this weekend with Suri. No more distractions. If only I can say the same for Wes and Devon.

How the hell am I supposed to have Suri all to myself when I had to compete for her attention with these two idiots too?

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Devon asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"f**k, right." I muttered under my breath before taking the call.

"Atlas!" Emily sounded excited, and I could sense that my plan for the weekend was about to go up into flames.

Not a second later, that was exactly what happened.

"I'm on the way to Ibiza! I was able to convince my parents! Eep, I'm so excited! I'll see you guys real soon!"

Jesus Christ on a manger.

Couldn't I have one f*****g weekend?

"You need to let her go," Devon drawled as soon as the call ended.

"I know what I have to do. Do you?" I threw the question back to him, and it was obvious he wasn't expecting it, his face turning a little flustered before he turned around with a frustrated groan. As soon as I got to my bed, I let out a long and deep exhale, closing my eyes as I felt slumber take over my body.

Tomorrow was going to change everything...

And I wasn't sure if any of us were ready for that.
