Save Me (Rock Romance #4) by A. L. Wood Read Free Book Online Page A

live my life day to day. If anything more was meant to have happened then, it would have. If it didn't, then it didn't and I would be okay. A man, one man, does not make me who I am.
    I can survive being alone for the rest of my life, I am completely fine with that. Would it be nice to share my life with another? Absolutely. But by no means will I try to go for a relationship with someone who believes me to be some gold digging whore. If anything being accused of such a crazy idea caused me to back off more. Sure it crushed the idolization I had going on for him, knocked him off that pedestal I placed him upon but I was moving past the one night he and I shared.
    Apparently that was something he wasn't capable of doing just yet. Had he let it go this meeting wouldn't have been so awkward. I see him job over to Ryan and start pointing at me, most-likely bitching about my presence. I choose to take the high road and ignore him. I gracefully walk over to Layla, whom I met once before. She’s standing next to Liam, who is in turn shoulder to shoulder with Ryan and Gage.
    “Hey Layla,” I greet her by holding my hand out, palm up. She ignores my hand and returns my greeting with a quick hug.
    “Abagail, was it?”
    “Yeah, you can call me Abby though.”
    A beautiful woman holding a baby with both hands joins Layla. “This is Natalie, you can call her Nat. This is Ryan's wife.” She says smiling.
    “It’s so nice to meet you, I’m the new tour manager.” I say to explain the reason of why I’m there, in case Ryan hadn’t mentioned it to everyone else, seeing as how Gage didn’t know. So she’s aware that I’m not just another groupie crazed fan.
    “Ryan mentioned the label hired someone new, I sure hope you're ready for these guys. They'll put you to work. After this tour, I’m not sure you'll want to continue in this profession.” Natalie says laughing.
    Ryan cuts in, “we’re not as bad as she says, or as bad as Gage likes to portray us as. I’m Ryan, nice to meet ya.” He says while holding his hand out.
    I take his hand and give it a firm shake, then look to where he was previously standing. Gage is still there, with Liam and the scowl on his face is priceless. He was probably hoping that by bitching to Ryan about me he could get me kicked off this tour before it even started. I smile back, teeth showing. I turn back to Ryan, “If we could gather everyone so we can go over the first leg of this tour I would very much appreciate that.”
    “Not a problem, we’re just waiting on the rest of the crew to show. They should be here any minute.”
     
    Thirty minutes later everyone has shown up and all of the luggage is packed away either in the compartments of the three busses or on the actual bus. Two vans are gassed up and parked behind the busses ready to hit the road. About thirty people swarm around me in one big circle, I’ve only met the one crew member, Chad, so far, so hopefully I can introduce myself with minimal awkwardness. Only the actual band members and public speaking has never been my thing. I prefer behind the scenes. Taking a deep breath I start, “Hello everyone, I’m Abagail. I am the new tour manager, I can’t say how long I will be with all of you. But Hard Wired has informed me it will be for the next two months at the very least. I just wanted to go over the first few days of the tour, every week we will have a meeting before we set out, just so everyone will know what’s going on and where we’re going. As of right now we have two days to be in North Carolina. This drive isn’t going to take up our entire two days, but the label has allotted extra time for us to reach our destination. Time that if we use wisely can give you an extra day before the show in Raleigh.
    “I will be sending out itineraries to each of your e-mails so that you know what it is you are to be doing that day. The first show is sold out, and if everyone works their best making this show the best it could
