Is it crazy to want to be crazy, for just a moment in time, so I can forget the rest of world? - September 19th

The rest of the week was horrible. Fucking horrible.

I played the cello because I needed the routine and familiarity, but all group rehearsals were cancelled. The one time I stopped by the studio to grab my sheet music I’d forgotten there, there were worried whispers of what was going to happen to the orchestra. Kate had been great with Randolf, but she wasn’t into music the way he was. I doubted she’d want to take over for him, especially when the possibility of the doors closing permanently loomed over our heads.

Didn’t they know that wasn’t important? Didn’t these ungrateful people know there was nothing that mattered in this moment except the loss of a fantastic, compassionate, and genius man?

I wanted to rage at them all. I wanted to scream and throw chairs and jump around screaming at the top of my lungs. This bottled up energy inside of me was new. I’d never experienced this kind of grief before, and I hated it. I fucking hated the way it made me feel, and for a brief moment, I wanted to end things with the guys. If this was how I felt at losing Randolf, who was the first person to give me something to value about myself, how would I react if I lost the men who made me see myself as a real, normal human?

It would be less painful if I cut ties now. I’d even ignored Kenzo’s texts all week. A sliver of my conscience nagged at me to at least give him something, just to let him know I was okay or that I wasn’t an ass just blowing him off, but I couldn’t. I was numb and out of control, all at the same time.

Furious pounding came at the front door, and I dropped my eyeliner.

“Shit,” I griped as a messy black line rolled over the inside of the sink. I identified with that line, that had no direction and nowhere to go from there.

“Lilith, I know you’re in there,” Saint called through the door.

I had to be at the viewing in less than an hour. My headspace was fucked up, and I couldn’t see them right now. But I walked to the front door anyway.

When I swung it open, I jumped at seeing all four of the men in my life glaring down at me.

“Okay, I’ve finally cracked.” I backed up a step.

“You didn’t crack, we just found this guy loitering by your mailbox.” Atticus jerked a thumb over at Kenzo. “Don’t worry, we filled him in on your life situation and your preferred love preferences. He’s in.”

I blinked as Kenzo nodded.

“I’ve told you from the beginning, I’m in.” He tried to step past the others, but Saint was reluctant to move, shifting slightly to block his path.

Well, that wasn’t exactly what he’d said.

“I can’t right now.” I shook my head and started to close the door, but Ambrose threw a hand out to stop it.
