Chapter 18

Mandy hadn’t stayed for long. She hadn’t needed to, not when Skylar laughed off the interview and told her she was amused more than angry. It hadn’t been Jack, not exactly.

Skylar stared down at her muted phone, watching Sorcha smirk back at her as she took the worst day of Skylar’s life and twisted it into gossip. Sorcha had been the one to convince Skylar to run away as a teenager, that her voice was too unique not to give the band a shot. That she’d be her big sister instead of Jami.

What a fucking joke. Skylar tossed her phone toward the bed.

Sorcha had told the media that Skylar had always been more into consensual orgies than a single guy. Like that’s what that night fucking was.

Skylar sat against the wall with the lights turned off. She wasn’t going to have a panic attack over a bitch like that. No, her breathing was nice and slow.

It was her mind that was running in circles, trying to show her memories she didn’t want to see. There was no way it’d quiet down enough for her to sleep tonight. She should have taken Mandy up on the offer to use the college space. Only she hadn’t wanted her manager to stick around. Skylar didn’t want anyone to see her.

Her head pressed against the wall as the ding of the elevator finally came. Damon was back. She took a deeper breath, her eyes burning as she stared into the dark. Her light was off. He had no reason to think she was awake.

He might not have seen the interview yet. Except his manager was a fan of hers. Hell, his media people had to be following Skylar’s feeds as closely as his with the whole dating thing. Sorcha had even brought him up.

Skylar told her brain to shut up. Winter Dust Storm wasn’t even popular anymore, which was why Sorcha had done it. If she couldn’t feed off Skylar’s name, Damon Lynch was so much better.

The text she’d gotten had only pissed Skylar off more. What did she give a shit if Jack knew or not? Like she believed anything he said, anyway. He liked to shove blame aside.

Sorcha’s braying laugh filled Skylar’s ears, caught in the edges of her memory just as her presence had been during that time. “Damn, she’s coming again. How are you ever going to satisfy her after this, Jack?”

“Shut up,” Jack had snarled as he continued to press down on Skylar’s shoulders. He’d stared into Skylar’s eyes, slightly blurry even from that close, but his anger had still been obvious.

“S-stop,” Skylar told her brain, as she shoved to her feet. She froze, her eyes flicking to the door leading to the suite. Despite taking off her boots, she’d never learned to be quiet. She moved to listen through the crack. None of the lights had been turned on. She’d be able to see it around the edges.

She was fucking hiding again. The idea of it had her fingers clawing at the knob, pulling it open.
