When we enter, Nico looks at me

“We’re not going to my spot,” I tell him

“Why not? I took you to mine”

“I didn’t ask you to, but we do need privacy We have shit to talk about”

“No”

My mouth drops open “No?”

He nods “I’ll come over later, we can talk then”

“To my house?”

He steps closer “That a problem?”

I guess not “What ti?”

“Practice isn’t over until five”

“I have a studio class today, so I’m across town until six”

“Fine Seven?”

“Okay, but what about right now?”

He looks around, spotting Evan and Alex on the stairs to the stage, and then looks back to me “Come on”

“Why did you and Josie break up?” The question flies from my mouth before I can stop it

Nico’s glare swings to mine “Why?”

“Shouldn’t I know that?”

“No” His answer is instant

“But you tried to convince me you needed to know about ly

“That’s different”

“How?”
