He started this fucking disaster last night.
I storm out and head to his room, banging on his door hard and fast.
With sleepy eyes, he opens the door, yawning absentmindedly, and I lunge forward, grabbing his shirt, forcinghim back into the wall with all my fucking might. The wall cracks from the force as his eyes widen. Now, he is completely awake, and I snarl at him like a man possessed.“You fucking did this!”
Nate grins, simply shaking his head.
Matt rushes down the hall to see what the commotion is about.
“Whatever do you mean?” Nate quips with a wicked grin.
“You’re out of the band,” I yell, thrusting him higher up the wall.
Matt steps up, grabs my hands, and yanks me back from his brother, standing between us. “He’s not out of the band, Danger? We all have to decide on that. But what the fuck did he do?”
“He kissed my girl!” I growl.
Matt snaps his head back to face his twin. “What?”
“Yeah, she tastes amazing, doesn’t she? So damn sweet,” Nate goads.
I lunge forward to grab Nate, but Matt pushes against my chest, stopping me from getting to him again.
“Nate, stop it! Danger, cool it!What the fuck is going on?”Matt demands, trying to play the peacekeeper he’s become accustomed to lately.
“Nate kissed Lunar,” I repeat. “What else is there to know?”
Nate chuckles. “How about how you fucked Effa and Lunar left. Seemsyou’rethe one who messed up, Danger.”
I scoff, turning and running my fingers through my hair. “You don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t I? I heard Lunar tell Ryan she walked in on you and Effa in bed together. Seems pretty fucking obvious to me and Lunar too. Face it,youfucked up. And now you’llneverget her back. Probably for the best, you and long-distance never work,do you?”Nate chides.
That hit home a little harder than it should.
Groaning, I shrug out of Matt’s grip and turn, walking away from their room.
I fucked up!
What Lunar saw can’t be unseen.
But what I saw can’t be either.
Chasing after Lunar with the image of her kissing Nate burned into my retinas is not something I wanted to endure. It taunts me, reminding me of the betrayal that slices through me like a knife.
I just never thought Lunar would do that to me.
With heavy feet, I make my way to my room. I know it’s early, but I need a drink. I can’t stand the never-ending ache in my chest. Knowing Lunar saw Effa in my bed makes me sick to my stomach, but seeing her with Nate killed me.
I need something to take the edge off, so I drink the day away. Sure, we have a flight today and a concert tonight in Western Australia, but it’s not like I’ve never performed wasted before.
Tonight, I’ll be doing that again because I can’t get through this day sober.

The plane ride was a blur.
Ryan and Luke had to practically carry me on board, and then I promptly passed out. To say I got a littletoo drunkis an understatement. They had to wheelchair me off the plane to a waiting cab.
