whatever Stace wants me to, but I don’t need to hear it through him. I need to see her. Throwing the covers back, I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and stand up. I’m unsteady, but after a few seconds I feel confident enough to walk.
“Where is she?” I ask. “What room is Stace in?”
Dad opens his mouth, as if he’s going to argue, but then reconsiders.
“Five doors down on your left. Kara is in intensive care and can’t have visitors.”
I stand at the entrance of room twelve, unable to move.
Seeing Stace lying there like that, her face all cut up kills me. I walk over and sit down, ignoring the pain radiating through my chest. She wakes, her eyes widening when she sees me. She smiles and grabs for my hand.
“Sax,” she whispers, her eyes sparkling with tears. “I was worried about you. And Kara…” She chokes up as her voice trails off.
“I’m so sorry,” I mumble. I reach out and stroke her hair. “I’m a mess and now I’ve dragged you and Kara down with me. Dad wants me to go to rehab. He wants to keep this whole thing quiet, but people deserve to know what a fuck up I am. I don’t deserve for all this to just ‘go away.’”
“If you won’t fix yourself for you, do it for me. Please,” she whispers, tears rolling down her cheeks. “I don’t want to lose my brother.”
I study each bruise on her face, guilt stabbing through me. It’s the least I can do after what I’ve done.
“Rehab where?” I ask, my voice thick with emotion, aware my parents are now standing behind me.
“There’s a clinic a buddy I know has an interest in. He owes me a big favor. The clinic is very secluded, and privacy is what they pride themselves on. Leave it to me, okay?” I turn around and watch as Dad walks out of the room, Mom right behind him.
I laugh in disbelief. No “goodbye” or “feel better” or anything to their daughter.
Stace leans over and gives me a kiss, her face wincing in pain. “Thanks for this, Sax. I know submitting to the monster is a hard thing to do, but you need help. I’m so scared for you.” Her blue eyes fill with tears, which she quickly wipes away.
“I’m the one who’s sorry,” I whisper, my voice hoarse. “I should never have gotten in that car. I knew I wasn’t okay to drive but I did it anyway. I could’ve killed you, and Kara…” My voice trails off. God, I can’t even finish the sentence. I’ve ruined her life. I might as well have killed her.
“She’ll forgive you,” Stace whispers.
“But I’ll never forgive myself.”

Synopsis
Don’t let my petite and innocent appearance fool you, because I’m one person you don’t want to cross. I’m Micah, the youngest member of Resurrection…If only they knew how young.
My fake ID says I’m twenty-one. And I will be…in four years.
What can I say? I blossomed early. Home sucked, so I left, determined to do something with my life.
Landing the gig as lead vocalist in the band was a dream come true. I’ve worked hard to make something of myself and nothing is going to ruin that for me.
Then He showed up. Saxon Waite, ex bad boy of rock.
He’s hot as hell and so into me.
But he’s also twenty-five.
I don’t want to lie to him, but if the truth comes out I’ll lose everything. Including him.
