“ALL RIGHT, THAT’S a wrap, guys,” Tom calls, shutting his laptop with a slap. “Good job, everyone.”

The guys holler in response, high-fiving each other. I’m just happy I didn’t screw anything up today. For the first time in a long time, I feel confident that our show is going to kick ass.

It’s been hard work, and I know it’ll continue to be a hard labor of love until the gig in three weeks. But even with all the practice, I still feel like something is missing. I just don’t know what though. Maybe I just need more sleep.

“Just a few more practices and you’ll all get a day off,” Tom reminds us, coming over to stand just outside the space defined by our equipment, watching as the guys put their instruments away. “Especially you, Jessica. You look like a walking corpse.”

Jarod approaches me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and tugging me to his side as I stand. Tom frowns.

“I don’t know, Tom. I think Jess looks amazing,” Jarod says, squeezing my shoulders.

“Jessica,” I correct. Again. I step out from under Jarod’s possessive arm and place my drum sticks over the center drum as Tom comes over to join us.

“Are you sure you can’t take more time off?” he asks me, angling himself so that he almost block Jarod, effectively cutting him out of the conversation. Thankfully, Jarod gets the hint and turns away, just as Joel calls him to help pack up.

“I can’t,” I reply to Tom. “Not if I want to eat and have a roof over my head. I need my job.”

He nods. The hostile Tom I met when I initially joined the band has slowly dissipated. Now, when he looks at me, all I see is concern. “I understand,” he says. “We need to figure out how to get in more hours of practice for you and not kill you at the same time. I’ll work something out. When you get your day off though, make sure you take it off. Okay?”

I salute him. “Yes, boss.”

He laughs. “I wish the other jacks would listen to my advice as quickly as you do.”

“If we did, your job would be too easy,” Jarod calls, laughing.

“Okay, well, if you don’t need me any more right now, I’m going to call it a day. Cat said she was going to pick me up before work tonight, so I better get going. Thanks, Tom,” I say as I pick up my stuff and head toward the door.

“Take care, Jessica,” Tom calls, and the guys echo him.

“See ya later, guys.”

I step out of the barn and glance at my phone, realizing just how late I am. Cat’s probably been waiting for at least fifteen minutes, which is kind of odd given that she’s always stomped her way into the barn to drag me out of here when I’m running late.

I scan the parking lot, looking for her car, and when my gaze lands on a very not-Cat looking person, it suddenly all makes sense.
