“Lucian?”
I nodded. “I think he is in love with her.”
“Dude, come on. Even if that is true, Lucian won’t do that to you.”
“Love does crazy things to a guy.” I walked onto the stage and everyone cheered. Fuck if that was Elena. My mind went blank to the things that left my mouth. What did she hear?
He could’ve told me.
I picked up the mike and started singing my heart out again. Knowing that Elena was here put me on a completely different level. The audience loved it.
I couldn’t wait for the concert to end.
Around twelve, we said goodnight, and I rushed up the steps.
I stormed into the VIP section, but the spot where the guy sat was empty. I looked around, skidding over all the people. They were nowhere to be seen. My gut turned. He left because he knew Isaac was onto him. What the fuck was he playing at?
I took out my Cammy and spoke his name. He didn’t pick up, but I left him a message. “You could’ve told me, Lu? Thanks, blood-brother.”
I ended the call and plopped onto the couch as my muscles pumped. We were going to speak about this and he would listen until I was done talking.
I left after. I didn’t even want to party anymore.
The fucking asshole spoiled everything. What did she hear? I knew what I didn’t say. I didn’t speak about her once as it hurt too much and we played tonight to just forget about everything.
I flew straight to Dragonia and slept until twelve the next morning.
I couldn’t wait for the wanker to come back. He was in love with her and I didn’t trust what was leaving his mouth anymore. He could’ve told me she was coming. Why didn’t he?
Around six, while I played games, Lucian walked in. He didn’t say hello. I switched off my game and chucked my console on the cough.
“Hey, Chris, enjoyed the show last night.”
Lucian sighed.
“You understand now why I fucking said those things to you, Lu. You know how badly I wanted to see her and you could’ve told me you would be there.”
“She doesn’t want to see you, Blake. I thought you would’ve been able to smell her, but you clearly were high.”
“I wasn’t high.”
“Oh, yeah, why didn’t you pick up her scent then?”
“I smoked one or two joints, that was it.”
“I told you not to fuck up!”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” We were speaking in harsh tones. I could fucking strangle him.
“I wanted it to be a surprise? When she saw you, she clarified she didn’t want to be there.”
“Why did you do this, Lu? What the fuck are you playing at, because you are fucking up the little I have with her?”
“I wanted her to pick up you are the Rubicon.”
“What?”
“I get a feeling she doesn’t know you are the Rubicon.”
