9. THE RULES

Bam! Lizzie slammed the door as she entered the room, waking me up. She hopped on my bed and the impact roughly tossed me up in the air and back onto the bed.

“So where were you last night?” she asked me as I recoiled from her and pulled the pillow over my head.

“Hello under there?!” She wrenched the pillow off my head.

“Good morning to you, too,” I croaked while slowly waking up from my comatose state. The shower was running in the next room and I assumed it was Riley.

“I’m waiting for an explanation,” she said impatiently as I sat up. “All this talk about how I am going to be Hawkins’ muse, but I have yet to see him long enough to play the part.”

“Don’t worry, your fifteen minutes of fame isn’t up,” I growled while rubbing my eyes. The bathroom door opened and Riley came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. The fresh scent of his cologne filled the room.

“Did she tell you anything?” She eyed him suspiciously.

“No,” Riley replied. He walked over to his duffle bag and began to get dressed.

“Most of my night was spent waiting for the authorities,” I complained. “Apparently, I’m the only one who can remember Cyrus.” I glared at her. “So sorry, that you didn’t have a good time last night,” I said sarcastically as I headed over to the sink and brushed my teeth.

Lizzie came over to the opened door and crossed her arms. “So why is there a couple of dark tinted window SUVs outside protecting the hotel?”

“What?” I asked in the midst of brushing.

“Wayne is even out there,” she huffed.

“Warren, hello?”

“No, nice try,” she said with a fierce look. “Warren was just as surprised as I was to see that security was surrounding the hotel.”

Shrugging, I didn’t say anything because I didn’t know why they were there either.

“If they were there for Warren, then they should have been outside his hotel where I was staying not at yours.”

Hawkins had put security around my hotel?

“Are you sure it was security from the band?” I checked with her. “And not just a couple SUVs parked around the hotel?”

“Oh, god,” Lizzie groaned. “What’s up with this hush, hush thing between Hawkins and you?”

“What are you talking about?” I questioned as though I didn’t have a clue.

“Ah, huh.” She rolled her eyes.

Too bad today wasn’t a driving day. The band had two nights planned for Atlanta on the tour. I really just wanted to keep my mind preoccupied by driving rather than be bombarded with questions about what happened and what didn’t happen with Hawkins last night. Pretty much, I wasn’t sure myself? I didn’t know how to make sense of it, so in an effort to avoid any more conversations about Hawkins I was determined to get out of the hotel.

After I got ready, which included me reminding Riley to have the hotel wash our clothes; I turned the black t-shirt with Hawkins face across it inside out and put the damn thing on.
