EVER SINCE THE GUYS BASICALLY told me JINKS may no longer be together after the tour, I’ve been in a slump for the past couple days; uninspired to write music or play my guitar, let alone do much else. My phone’s been blowing up with messages from my publicist wanting the goods on that damn article. It’s insane how one mishap can turn into such a circus. I really walked into the fire and got burned, with no way to fix it. I can’t seem to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Music’s my life. It’s who I am. Without JINKS and BT2090, I’m not sure what will happen to me. I guess I’ll have to shop around for another label. But in the meantime, Justin and I have a small gig this coming weekend. Other than that, the hours in the day have blurred by me in stress and regret. At least I can look forward to a night of singing and blocking out the craziness I created.

While Faith is resting, I go to the gym and work out for an hour or so, then quickly take a shower once I get back. I needed to blow off some steam for the sake of my sanity before I completely lose it. I can’t and won’t let what’s happened affect me to where I can’t function. I have a baby coming in a few months and now isn’t the time to drown in sorrow.

Faith’s still sleeping when I finish dressing and head for the living room to watch a little TV. There’s a knock on the front door just as I’m about to sit down on the couch. The new video monitor next to the door shows me Lyric is here. As much as I want to avoid her, I can’t. I have to hear her out and grant her permission to chew me out as well. She’s one of the reasons JINKS has gotten so far in the music industry. We were very fortunate to have found her when we did.

Grabbing my baseball cap, I place it backwards on my head and then open the door. Lyric’s the last person I want to talk to right now, but I gotta chug through this. When I open the door I see nothing but confusion and hesitation in her eyes. Like coming here was the last thing she wanted to do too. “Hey Lyric. Uh, come in.” I open the door wider for her as she steps inside.

She looks around the room and asks, “Is Faith around?”

“She’s resting.”

“Is she okay? The baby?” she asks with deep concern. Definitely not the first thing I’d expected her to ask.

“Yeah, yeah. They’re both fine, but Faith’s been under some stress lately so the OBGYN told her she needed to rest for a couple days.”

“Good.” She smiles with relief. “Slim told me about the high blood pressure.”

“Yeah.” For a few moments there’s an uncomfortable silence between us. I know the reason she’s here, and I’m ready for it to be over.
