Chapter 17

Chloe

Rolling over, my hand runs along the coldness of the bed beside me. Where is Hudson? I open my eyes and see him quietly packing a small bag at the foot of the bed. Is he leaving?

“Hey, where are you going?”

Startled, he looks up at me. “Shit. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you up. I thought I was being quiet enough.”

I let out a little yawn before replying, “You didn’t wake me. I rolled over and didn’t feel you beside me. What’s going on?”

He sighs heavily as he zips up the backpack he was just packing. “My dad has a client meeting up in Eugene. My mom and him want me to go with them.”

“Okay. I don’t get it.”

“They’re not one hundred percent sold on the band. They still think of it as a hobby.”

Well, that sucks that they aren’t more supportive. If my parents were still here, they would support me no matter what I chose to do. I guess I can see from a parent’s perspective that a band isn’t the most lucrative career aspiration. Especially when you have such a successful lawyer for a father. That still doesn’t answer why he’s going on the trip.

“So what’s in Eugene?”

He looks out the window as he answers me. “I’m supposed to be looking at colleges.”

Just hearing that makes me crumble inside. That makes sense for any normal senior in high school. Hell, if I were still normal, I’d be doing the college weekend thing too. But the word normal can no longer be used to describe me. I’m so far from normal, I don’t even remember what that looks like anymore.

“From your parents’ perspective, I get it, but why didn’t you just tell me?”

“You were asleep and I didn’t want to wake you up to make you feel any worse than you already do. But now that I say that out loud it just sounds dumb. I made you feel worse by not telling you.”

“Well, I wouldn’t have been very excited waking up in an empty bed and you gone.”

He looks sheepish when he tells me, “They didn’t give me a choice. We’ll only be gone for two days max. I swear.”

I plaster a fake smile on so that he can’t see what I’m feeling. Two days shouldn’t feel that long, but it feels like an eternity to me. So much can happen in such a short amount of time, and I’m terrified of one thought. What if he doesn’t come back to me? I’m not even thinking extremes here, but what if he meets some great college girl and realizes my drama is too much for him?

“Two days is no big deal. I’ll just stay holed up in your room the entire time.”

He cringes before stating the obvious. “So it looks like it’s going to be you and Jax for the next couple of days. Since my mom is coming too.”

Leaning up in bed, I motion him over to me with my finger. When he makes his way over, I pull him down onto the bed with me.
