SILAS

I slam the door shut of the green room. Security doing a shitty job of keeping groupies away from us. Trust me, we all are down for a quick fuck sometimes, but we always promised we would never do it at a venue. We do have a post-stage ritual we’ve always done. And no one is allowed in the green room for it. Not Riot, not Charlie, not Saylor. It’s just us guys as we make a toast to the ones we’ve lost and the crimes we committed to get where we are. We aren’t proud of our pasts, but we can’t forget what got us here.

After our ritual, I fall onto the couch. I’m exhausted as fuck. We flew out to New York City yesterday for some press with MTV, then we had an interview with a few magazines and a late-night dinner with the record executives based out here. Then this morning, we hit more television press, a late show recording, and finally, the promotional concert tonight. Luckily, it’s short sets. Riot’s idea, of course. But the fans go crazy for them. This is the third one we’ve done. They are in smaller venues and only hour-long sets. No crazy arena shows. They remind us of how we started and we love doing them. But after all the interviews, it’s exhausting.

“Please don’t tell me we need to make an appearance at any clubs tonight,” Wilder mutters into his beer as Riot walks into the green room.

“Nah. You guys are off the hook. I know it was a crazy two days,” she answers as she taps into her iPad. “I have confirmation your plane will leave tomorrow at two, so y’all can sleep in and do whatever the hell you want tonight. But you all look like you want to crash.”

“I feel old,” Jackson groans. “I swear I hit thirty and now I can’t go at it all day long.”

I jerk my head at Roan and Knox who are sitting next to me. “If these assholes ever answered questions in the interviews, it might not take it out of the rest of us.”

Knox punches me in the arm as Roan talks. “Yeah well we are nowhere near as charming as you. In fact, I am pretty sure you were flirting with the host of the morning show this morning.”

I smirk at him. “She loved it.”

My phone vibrates in my pocket and I pull it out. A few texts are on my phone. But then I notice a notification about my security system from an hour ago.

I click on the app and see the gate and door were unlocked with a guest code I have. My spine stiffens, thinking it has to do with the weird shit that has been happening, but how the hell would some possible stalker get my gate code? They’ve never used it before.

I click on the camera screen and my heart drops from my chest when I see Marley unlocking my front door. Tears are on her cheeks and I can tell she’s upset, she’s visibly shaking.
