Ugly rage mixed with crippling pain to wreck Korey’s mind. He drove with no real destination in mind. Vegas was no longer an option. Maverick was Zeke’s friend. The only way Korey would ever get past this was to cut all ties. He couldn’t leave Maverick hanging, though. That wouldn’t be fair. He equally couldn’t back out of something as huge as a trip to Vegas via text. That wasn’t cool.

With a sigh, he changed lanes and headed for the address Maverick had given him. Korey tried like hell to keep his mind blank. He was half a breath away from falling apart. Since Charlie’s death, Zeke had been Korey’s rock. Now there was nothing standing between him and the massive loss. Despair was a tidal wave waiting to drown him. Each breath came harder than the last. Korey tried counting backwards from a hundred while measuring his breaths. A set of townhomes came into view, making Korey realize he’d somehow made it to Maverick’s without dying. He found building R and pulled into a parking spot next to a familiar-looking red Dodge Ram. For a moment, he stared at nothing and absorbed the silence of the night. The last thing he needed was to fall apart the second Maverick opened the door. Korey squeezed his eyes shut, hoping to clear the haze coating them. It didn’t help. Everything hurt.

Fuck it. He needed this chore done so he could find a quiet place to fall apart—no witnesses. He eyed the yellow siding of the two-story buildings. It seemed like a quiet place. He wondered if they had anything available for rent. Korey snorted. He probably couldn’t afford it. Even if Zeke never accepted Charlie’s life insurance money, fifty thousand would only last him so long without a job. He still had years left of school. Between interning, studying, and a million other things he had coming his way, there was no way he could pay his bills by himself. All that bullshit paled in comparison to the destruction Zeke had wreaked on his heart. He was in tatters. Concentrating on his monetary problems was the only thing keeping him sane. Korey stopped outside Maverick’s door. After bending at the waist, Korey braced his hands on his knees and sucked air. Hyperventilating was right around the corner. He could feel it. Everything looked insurmountable and piled on top of losing Zeke. Korey couldn’t deal. Everything hurt. He straightened, determined to get through this life. As his knuckles skimmed the door, Korey tried swallowing down his pain. He half expected to choke on it.

The door swung open. Maverick was shirtless. Korey almost forgot why he was there. Damn. Maverick was beautiful. Maverick eyed Korey while wearing a self-satisfied smile. He motioned Korey inside. “Come in.”

Korey waved off the suggestion. “No. I can’t stay. Sorry. I hate doing this on such short notice, but I just stopped by to tell you I can’t go to Vegas with you this weekend.” Korey couldn’t meet Maverick’s stare.
