"What do you mean he moved??? Why didn't he tell me??" Azrael demanded onto the phone. AJ watched in silence, making sure Azrael didn't notice him. The young woman calmed down sadly. "I understand," she whispered. "Thank you." She hung up & wiped a tear from her cheek. She looked up to see AJ watching her. "Oh, crap." She turned on her heel & started to walk briskly away.
"Wait!" AJ called after her, following her direction. He grabbed her arm & gently pulled her back. "What happened?"
Azrael's eyes narrowed. "& the reason I should tell you is.....?"
"Because we're gonna be stuck on a tour bus for five months & we might as well start off as friends?"
"Sorry, but my life is my life, & I plan to keep it that way." Azrael pulled away & ran out the front door into the parking lot.
