tears.
    No matter how many times I’ve told myself
to forget him – to move on from him, there was still that bit of hope in
my heart, but now it’s died. And I’m dying of jealousy. How could he do that? Because he’s a bastard, that’s why.
    Spotting the restroom, I push my way inside
and quickly lock myself in one of the stalls. Flipping the seat shut, I collapse
onto it and let the sobs I’ve been holding out.
    I’m so upset I end up on the floor, huddled
into the corner by the door, clutching my knees to my chest as my heart breaks.
    It’s one thing to catch the guy you’re
crazy about kissing someone else, but it’s another to actually catch him with
his jeans around his ankles and his cock inside someone while he comes. Knowing
that she gave him pleasure instead of me.
    I start to hiccup through my tears as I
hear the restroom door bang open.
    “Callie? Callie are you in here?” Thalia
shouts, pushing the doors to the stalls open as she moves along. “Callie,
dammit.”
    Rising, shakily, to my feet, I grab a
handful of toilet tissue to try and mop up with before unlocking the door. I
know Thalia will be standing outside waiting as I pull the door open and meet
her eyes.
    Her eyes widen before she moves forward and
wraps me up in her arms. “God, Callie. What’s wrong? Phoenix spotted you
running in here and he said you looked upset.”
    “Ree–.” I hiccup before trying again,
“Reece,” hiccup , “I caught him
fucking her.” I start to cry again.
    Thalia freezes then cusses under her
breath. “Phoenix will kill him… Shit. Why couldn’t you have fallen for Donovan?
He likes you and sure as hell wouldn’t treat you like this shitbag does.”
    I start to laugh through my tears. Why,
I’ve no idea? But I can’t seem to stop. My whole body shakes with my laughter
as Thalia stands back, stunned and watches me. My laughter soon dies though
when Donovan comes barging into the room.
    “Um, what’s going on?” He takes one look at
me and says, “Why don’t we move this to the bands room.” Even through my tears
and laughter, I register the unease on Donovan’s face.
    “Are you okay?” I ask with my husky voice.
    He grins. “That’s what I should be asking
you, but right now we need to leave before people wonder why I’m in here. Don’t
want them getting the wrong idea.” He shudders.
    “Give me a minute while I wash up.” Feeling
stronger now, I turn the faucet on and splash cold water onto my face a few
times before finding a huge bunch of tissue pushed into my hands to, I presume,
dry off with.
    Throwing the tissue in the trash, I take a
look at myself in the mirror, and apart from my eyes still looking watery;
there are no telltale signs of my heartbreak. At least I’m not red and blotchy
like I usually am after a heavy cry.
    With a deep breath, I look toward my two,
nervous friends and offer Thalia a weak smile before walking into Donovan’s
waiting arms. He sighs into my hair and holds me tight.
    I shouldn’t need his arms around me, but I
do. He was there with Reece and me back in Alabama, and although it was Reece
who captured me, I’d found Donovan damn hot and sexy. I’ve lost count the
amount of times over the past weeks that I’ve wished it was Donovan whom I
longed for…but it wasn’t.
    Kissing his chest, I move away from him.
“Let’s go.” I look over my shoulder at Thalia. “I’m ready, and although I’m
still pissed at him, from now on it’s about me and what I want, which is to go
and party and flirt some more with Luke.”
    Turning back toward the door, I slip my arm
through Donovan’s and try and pull him with me, but he doesn’t budge. “What’s
wrong?”
    He looks at Thalia before meeting my eyes
again. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
    I let go of him and standing with my hands
on my hips, I get ready to make my stand.
    “I’m not saying you shouldn’t go and have
fun, but, well, Luke… Really? He’s after one thing from
