I was about to call Killian when ed with a text

Autumn: Are you alone yet? Can I come over? Xx

Me: Yeah, of course

Autu if she’d just been at the label and hoping she wasn’t co over because Killian was mad at me, I sucked in a breath and dialed my boyfriend’s nu off

So I called again

He picked up "I’ into another, Skylar, I don’t have ti to you too I thought you’d call"

"I’ve been busy"

"Too busy to see if I was all right after my band members caathered it went okay since they slept over"

Was that his problem? "Killian, they’re like brothers to me"

"Micah isn’t"

"Which is why I crashed on my bed with Brandon and Micah took the couch"

He went silent and I heard the rustle of rowled down the phone "You shared a fucking bed with one of them?"

My cheeks flushed He uess he didn’t realize how ht as well be blood related, that’s how much he’s like a brother to me I would never have done that if he weren’t"

"He’s not blood related and you did Jesus, Skylar, you lost the fucking plot when you heard a voiceht stand You expectin the sa the situation escalate out of my control, panic fluttered in my chest "Killian, I proet it You’ll see we’re like brother and sister"

"I take it they’re not leaving anytime soon, then?"

"They want to make sure I’m okay And to do that, they want to come to the label today andme

"Seriously?"

"Aye, seriously I want to meet them too"

I hesitated"Are you still mad at me?"

"I don’t knoould you feel if you found out I shared a bed with another worind ether "If that woman was Autumn, then I’d be fine with it Which is exactly e’re talking about here and you’ll see that for yourself today"

He blew out what sounded like a beleaguered breath

My heart clenched at the thought of hiry with me, but I was also more than a little annoyed "You know, it would be nice if you could put your jealousy aside to ask me if I’m okay" When there was no response, an ache flared in my chest "Okay then, what time should we meet you?"

"One o’clock should be fine"

"See you then"

"Skylar" He stoppedup "I missed you too I miss you whenever you’re not by my side"

I closed my eyes as the panic eased but my irritation, and yes, hurt, remained

At my silence, his voice lowered "I’m sorry I’m a jealous prick Are you okay?"

I sluet you alone After I’ every inch of you, we can talk about it"
