from the situation. I follow on her heels, ready to finish this conversation.
"I'm no better than what? Tell me you think I'm like that asshole."
"Just leave me alone, Luke."
"Is that what you really want?" Her steps come to a halt, but she doesn't turn to look at me.
"What I really want doesn't matter." She begins to walk again, but I don't follow her. What a fucked up mess. This is what I get for crossing that line with her. Our friendship is now a mess and it feels like we are both in self destruct mode.
I choose to give her the space she seems to need and I begin to walk. There's a gym nearby and I could really use the release.
Two hours of lifting doesn't make me feel much better about the Lilly situation. I'm going to have to talk to her today.
Climbing back on the bus, I notice she's the only one anywhere to be seen. I'm sure the others are still in the hotel rooms. I walk up to where she's laying and watch her try to act like I'm not standing here.
"What do you want, Luke?"
"So, you're just going to hop from bed to bed now?" My question sends her upright in an instant and her expression is that of someone who is ready to attack. She's pissed, and so am I, so this is liable to be one hell of an explosion.
"You." She stands and points her finger at my chest, jabbing it to make a point.
"You. Have no fucking right to talk to me like that. You fuck skanks in bathrooms. I don't have to answer to you, just like you don't have to answer to me. Remember, Luke? No. Fucking. Strings. Attached."
"I remember, but you hate that asshole just as much as I do and then you sleep with him after he sniffs you one fucking time."
"Sniffs me? Look. You've got to stop. I don't owe you any explanation and you don't owe me anything. This wasn't supposed to get complicated and you're making it that way."
"You're right. I can and will fuck anyone I want without your approval. I just don't want to see you turn into a fucking loose bitch willing to open her legs for anyone."
"I opened them for you, so I guess it's a little late for that." Her words hit home. She thinks I'm just anyone. Point made very clear. This has turned into chaos and I don't know how to fix it.
"I'm sorry I said anything. You can do whatever you want. I have no right to say anything or try to talk you out of anything." Her eyes fall to the floor while she tries to comprehend my apology. I need her to work this out with me and not fight me on everything during this tour. The Walkers will for sure have my ass if that happens.
"Thank you. Sorry I laid into you so harshly. We just need to keep things on a friend level, because we obviously have problems taking it beyond that." Her words are only slightly louder than a whisper.
I want to disagree with her, but after the last twenty-four drama packed hours, I have to agree.
Chapter Eight
Lilly
I should've probably clarified to Luke that I didn't 'sleep' with Garrett, but it really is none of his business. I wish it was, but it's not. He made that clear yesterday.
He stays on board the bus with me, and it's really an awkward attempt at a conversation. I wish I could turn back time and never go there with him, but damn it was so good. I'll probably always have him in the back of my head when I'm out with other guys, but it's obvious that he's nowhere near ready to settle down to one girl. He needs to live it up while he's young and becoming famous.
"Come eat some lunch with me." He stands and pulls my hand toward the door.
"I'm good."
"No. Come with me. I need to find food and this will be good for us to do something like we used to do." How do you tell Luke Jacobs no? I've yet to figure this out, so I rise up from my sitting position and walk behind the six foot solid muscle of man.
He leads me down the street to a small mom and pop cafe. I watch him practically inhale his food and
