Epilogue
*AJ*
We’ll be finishing up the tour in a couple weeks. We’re gonna have a month or two off, then we’ve got a few more shows in the States to do. I’m looking forward to the time off. I’ll finally have a chance to get away from Shannon and Nick.
They’re sickening now. Ever since whatever happened that night, they’ve been right as rain, as she put it. Lovey dovey. And it breaks my heart every time I see them together. Which is a lot.
Cassie’s coming to Germany for the final show. I’m looking forward to seeing her again. Hopefully she’ll be able to cheer me up. I talk to her on the phone about once a week. She still worries, as do I, that something big will happen with Nick and Shannon. We’re both scared that something bad’s about to happen.
Sighing, I looked down at the words I’d written. Flipping my journal closed, I reached to shove it into my backpack. Just as I flopped onto the bed, the phone began to ring. What the fuck? Sitting up, I reached for it. Who the hell was calling me this time of night? It was after three in the morning.
“H’lo.”
“Bone. We’ve got a problem.”
Brian. And he sounded worried as hell. “What’s happened?” I asked. I could tell he was on his cell phone, there was a bunch of static.
I held the phone from my ear. I could hear him mumbling something, but with all the static. “Man, I can’t hear a word you’re saying,” I said.
A pause, then the words I’d been dreading. “Shannon. She’s in the hospital.”
