CHAPTER NINE

JAGGER

Last night, I fell asleep in Mali’s bed with my arms wrapped securely around her and that’s exactly how I woke up. The sun is just starting to rise and I keep replaying the events of yesterday in my mind. After Mali left my place without a word, I was sure the heated argument would come to blows and an all out brawl in my backyard.

The memory of it still floods me with uncertainty…

Dane walked up to me as I traced down the problem with the grill. “What the hell is the deal, Jagger?”

“What are you talking about, Dane?” I didn’t even try to hide my irritation.

“I’m talking about Mali. Your girlfriend? Don’t pull that bullshit with me. She just up and left without saying a word to anyone. This is all going to come back and bite us in the ass, I just know it. So you need to man up and tell me what you’ve done.”

I huffed in disgust, but I broke down and told him the truth about our relationship. Our agreement. He immediately called an emergency band member meeting, so the four of us congregated in a corner of the yard that was as far away from the others as possible.

“The idiot leader of our village has made a colossal fuck-up,” Dane began. He then proceeded to explain the situation to the other guys.

“Are you fucking kidding me, Jagger?”

“What the hell were you thinking?”

“It’s one thing to sink your own career, but did you have to take ours down with you?”

They all three descended on me at once. They were angrier, more disappointed, and more disgusted with me than I’ve ever seen them. The only thing that kept them from kicking me out of my own band was the hope that Mali could help get our music in front of her dad sooner rather than later.

“There’s only one solution to this problem,” Wes stated.

“What’s that?” I ask dubiously.

“You have to go to her and make her keep her end of the agreement. You can’t let her get away. Make her believe she’s special, she’s important to you, whatever the fuck you have to do just to keep her around. After Milo listens to our CD and makes his decision, you can kick her to the curb,” he explained.

“Yeah, that could work,” Dane agreed with Wes. “Something set her off and made her just leave out of the blue. Maybe she was pissed off after Bambi’s outburst. Do you know where she lives?”

“Yes, I know where she lives. But I’ve made it clear to her, more than once, that I don’t want her to get attached to me. This was her proposition anyway. We agreed to just one summer and then we part ways. I’m not promising her a white picket fence and a date to go pick out china patterns,” I adamantly refused.

“You can play it off better than that,” Tanner scolded me. “You don’t have to say a word about love, or a life together, or any of that shit.
