Zoey

Waking up in the morning, I can hear the band in the hallway as they leave their rooms. For a moment, I wonder if Derrik’s going to knock on our door and invite us along. We didn’t talk again last night, and after Becca and I got everything out in the open, I told her what happened with Derrik before she showed up.

Was he about to kiss me? Was I about to kiss him?

That was too close. I’ve meant everything I said to Becca and Jade. The good and the bad. I do think Landon’s a better fit for me, even if I don’t have all of those butterflies, and nervous feelings around him all the time. Sometimes you don’t get those until later. Right?

In any event, how hypocritical would it have been that I would’ve been the one to cheat on someone? I mean, it would’ve probably only been a kiss. We wouldn’t have done anything more than that. Would we? Thankfully, I don’t have to answer any of those types of questions because I’ve decided. Derrik and I can’t happen. He can continue to be a happy, world-famous rock star, and I can go back home in a couple of days, finish out my high school career, and get on with my college life. With a boyfriend. Who’s Landon. Not Derrik.

Even as I think all of that, it’s difficult to get past what I feel. What I’ve always felt, and what seems like I always will feel around Derrik.

I hear them walk down the hallway, EJ yelling at Maddox who I think just pushed him into the wall because a loud thump was just heard and EJ let out a curse, then I hear Jade start laughing. The Kings are a band, friends, and maybe most importantly, family. I refuse to be the one to possibly ruin all of that because of fears I have in the future of what might or might not happen if Derrik and I got back together. So, I’ll do the safest thing possible. Remove myself from the equation.

There’s a knock at the door, and all my Zen-like and resolute thoughts vanish. Cautiously, I walk over to the door, pulling the luxury hotel bathrobe tighter around myself like it’s a defense mechanism. Cracking it open slowly, I peek through to see Peter.

“Hey, Zoey.” He smiles widely.

“Hey, Peter,” I respond, opening the door wider for him.

He walks into the room, carrying a cart that has what looks like two iced coffees and two hot drinks. “You girls like hot or cold in the morning?”

“Cold!” Becca shouts, peeking out from her massive comforter on her bed.

“Hot, please,” I add.

Every time I see him, he’s in khaki slacks with either a navy blue or forest green button-up shirt. Today’s it’s a forest green, short sleeve. He also wears a gold bracelet on one hand and a gold watch on the other, with rings covering his pinky and ring fingers.

Through his mustache, he smiles again, handing me the hot coffee drink.
