attention. I looked at him and realized he just saw the whole thing go down. “I know it’s not quite my place or anything, but he meant what he said to you. He’s not who they make him out to be. In fact, he’s one of the best people that I’ve ever met. I have a daughter, Kayley, and he flies me home between sets so that I can spend time with her. He didn’t have the best home life growing up. His mom was a junkie, and he never knew his father so take it easy on him, okay?”
    I nodded and went back to my room.
    I pulled out my phone and called Piper. I stepped out onto the balcony and admired the view. I also delighted in the not so fresh city air. I lit up and listened to her shriek for the first five minutes when I told her where I was and who I was with. When she finally calmed down I went into the whole Jake Parker situation. Piper was life smart and always looked at the glass as being half-full. She knew my past and understood why I had the apprehension that I did.
    “Bean, if it were up to me I’d rewrite history. I’d change everything that happened that night, but I can’t. You can’t go around thinking that every guy is like him. They’re not.”
    “I’m not as nice as I used to be. I don’t trust people or tell them my secrets. I know that I distance myself, but I only do it because I refuse to be used or hurt again. I can only depend on myself.” I said firmly.
    “Listen to yourself! You’re difficult and stubborn, but if you give people the chance I promise that they’ll see you’re worth it. I love you, Bean. Just try, for me. A little bit at a time, and no I’m not just saying this because it’s Jake Parker. I’m telling you this because it’s time. Let it go and move on.”
    “And what happens when I finally decide to let him in, and he tells me that he doesn’t feel the spark that I feel?”
    “Then you Taser him and ask him again when he wakes up.” She laughed.
    “Oi! What am I going to do with you?”
    “You love me , and you know it. I’m just telling you how it is. Now if you follow my advice and you’ll be good to go.” She said proudly.
    “I’ll talk to you soon. I love you Pipsqueak.”
    “You too, Bean. Call me if you need me.”
    I hung up feeling a little better . I decided that I was still going to keep him at arm’s length until I could get a better grasp on the situation. Though, my hormones had other ideas. I’ve never felt such a strong connection to someone before and it scared me. Mark texted me saying that he would be staying with his friends until we were scheduled to leave tomorrow afternoon. Brett yelled through the door that room service arrived. My stomach growled at the thought of food. I walked into the living room and made a plate. I picked out some French toast and bacon and took a seat at the table. My phone went off a handful of times. Looks like some of my old friends are into celebrity gossip. I was stuffing a piece of bread in my mouth when I looked down and saw the name that popped up. It was a name that I haven’t seen in two years. Jeremy. I wanted to run to the bathroom and throw up. My hands were already turning clammy. I clicked on the screen and opened the message.
    Bre -bre, saw you on the news this morning. Looks like you like banging rock-stars after all…
    I got phantom pains as t ears burned my eyes. Just as I was about to retreat to my room Jake walked back in with a huge smile on his face. It faltered the second he saw me about to burst into tears.
    “Aubrey? Are you okay?” He asked concerned.
    NO! My brain screamed. This was exactly what I was worried about when I saw his phone this morning. He was at my side in the blink of an eye. I didn’t say anything. I couldn’t trust myself to move a muscle. Normally, I was tough as nails, and I didn’t let anything bother me. Jeremy was another story. Jake kneeled in front of me and put his hand under my chin to make me look at him. I flinched. He immediately pulled away and
