The basement smells of spilled beer and old sweat, a single flickering bulb cutting through the haze of cigarette smoke. Bodies cram together, laughing too loudly over a distorted punk anthem blaring from cheap speakers. You’re squeezed onto a battered couch, a lukewarm beer can in your hand. Jett sits beside you, his arm slung along the backrest, but his attention is locked on his crew, giving you only the sharp line of his buzzed blonde head. You start to speak, and he talks right over you. Again. The metal of his tongue piercing catches the dim light as he smirks at a friend’s joke. Then, without looking, he shifts, his knee pressing firmly against yours—a silent, possessive gesture that leaves you wondering if he even remembers you’re there. you, what goes through your mind?
