Chapter 18

The trip is eight hours and the show’s in twelve, so of course we stop for a leg stretch; to hell with being early for once. I’m not gonna bitch though, ‘cause honestly, Jarrett’s been on the phone with Vanessa the entire last three hours and I’m ready to stab out my own eardrums. Twice.

All four boys head for the door the second we stop, shoving and pushing jovially—Conner winning, tossing them out of his way like rag dolls. #teambro

Thinking it’ll be nice to join them, a little fresh air a bonus, because one of them is hella gaseous today and not fessing up, I go hunt for some shoes.

I know no one will ever believe me, that’d be way too convenient, but I swear my mistake is innocent, at least at first. Digging under and around the bunks, then table, a phone dings and my heart leaps in my chest, my only thought that it’s Will getting back to me.

ONLY. CONNER. Which is why it doesn’t instantly occur to me that Will never texts, or that I’d grabbed Cannon’s phone—until it’s too late. From the second my eyes catch the name on the text, setting the phone down and backing away, minding my own business and his privacy is no longer an option.

Ruthie: I see your phone is active again, about time my love. I’m sorry for our fight, not telling you, kicking you out. Cannon, I was angry and wrong. Please come home.

Cannon: I’m sorry too, that things didn’t work out and things got ugly. I’d like to remain cordial.

Ruthie: Cordial?! Cannon, we’re getting married.

Cannon: On what planet? You got a tubal without even talking to me. I want kids, a family. You don’t and you think it’s okay to decide that for me. You left me stranded in the middle of nowhere! How do you even have the nerve to contact me?

Ruthie: I’m sorry, okay? We can work everything out when you get home. I’m afraid for you, sweetheart. The band of misfits you somehow found are dangerous. I mean, look at them.

Cannon: You have no idea what you’re talking about. Ruthie, please move on and leave me alone. I’ll be by to get my stuff when we get near there, and I hope that transaction can be done with at least the semblance of two people who once cared about each other.

Ruthie: Is this about sex? Are you fucking that dykey lead singer? I forgive you, and I’m sorry I was cold the last few months, but I had to make sure there were no accidents before the procedure. It’ll be hotter now.

Cannon: Quit calling. I’m not going to answer. I don’t care that you hadn’t touched me in MONTHS. I don’t care that you’re jealous. I’m done. Leave me alone.

Ruthie: THIS IS WHO YOU’RE GALAVANTING WITH. People wind up retarded or dead when they know that girl. I refuse to let her hurt you.

And then she sent a picture of one of the many
