Dad had to run into town but said we could jam later if I was still at the house. I grab the toast Mom left out for me and head to the music room. I take a seat behind dad’s Yamaha drum set he uses to practice with and twirl my sticks between my fingers deciding on what to play. Scrolling through my phone, I select Foo Fighters “My Hero” and press play. My phone is connected to a surround sound speaker unit Dad installed for the room. I love cranking up music and playing along on the drums to whatever song is streaming. As soon as “My Hero” starts and I hear the first beat at the beginning of the song, I quickly join in and lose myself in the tribal pounding of the drums. My arms and legs work in synchronicity, and I can feel sweat already trickling down the hollow of my back from exertion.

I’m so connected and lost in what I’m doing, I almost lose the rhythm when an electric guitar joins in, startling me. I’m even more taken aback to see Ryder in front of me, arms pumping down on the guitar strings, playing the melody. We grin at each other like fools, never once breaking eye contact as we play. Ryder ends the song with one last guitar riff as the music fades.

“I haven’t heard you play guitar in a long time. I didn’t realize how much I missed that.” My dad used to give Ryder guitar lessons just like me. It’s why we’re so comfortable playing and singing around each other. “You look so hot playing guitar.” I fan my face pretending to swoon.

“And you’re one sexy drummer. Want to do one more?”

“Absolutely. Your pick. Fast or slow?”

Ryder scratches the side of his jaw with the guitar pick in contemplation. “Another fast one. How about some Fall Out Boy? 'Sugar, We’re Going Down?'”

I select the song on my phone and hit play. Ryder cues into the music with his guitar immediately, and I watch him as we play. Ryder is very handsome, striking even. Dark hair and eyes that glow like amber. There are some subtle changes that have occurred over the past year, like his shoulders and chest seem wider and bulkier, his hair on top a tad longer, his arms thicker with muscle. Jayson is taller, his body more streamlined from swimming, whereas Ryder is more muscular. Julien is similar in build to his twin brother, but leaner due to all the soccer and running he does. It boggles my mind how I got to be so lucky to have three such gorgeous, captivating boys as my best friends, ones that love me in different ways.

Ryder’s eyes meet mine and he gives me a knowing eyebrow wiggle as he catches me checking him out. My face heats. Yep, totally busted.

Jayson and my dad appear in the doorway as Ryder and I finish the song.

“You guys sound good together,” my dad says as he walks in and picks up his bass guitar.
