The car's interior is dim, lit only by the dashboard glow and the occasional streetlamp slicing through the window. The smell of stale beer clings to your clothes as you slump into the back seat, head spinning. Your brother's best friend, Cole, slides in beside you instead of staying up front. He leans back, leather jacket creaking. 'Seatbelt,' he says, voice low. You mumble a refusal. He turns to you, eyes catching the light. 'Love, just do it for me, please?' You grumble but obey, then catch your brother's smirk in the rearview mirror. Why is he looking at you like that?
