“Are you going to answer me?” I narrowed my eyes at Cale, who stood in front of me looking dumbfounded. I was being a good girlfriend and trying to find his cell phone in the spot where he claimed it was, but no luck. I was putting his bag back on top of his bunk and something fell out of it: a bottle of pills. My first thought was maybe he might have still needed to take them because of the pain in his chest—which had been happening—but I’d never seen Cale pop pills, minus a week or two after the accident.

I gripped the pill bottle tighter, feeling my blood boil. “I…it was from the doctor,” Cale said. “He refilled my prescription in case I had any substantial pain on tour and I couldn’t make it in to see him,” Cale whispered, his hands reaching out for me. I stepped back for each of his steps forward. “Please, Bryn, I swear I forgot I packed those until you found them.”

I threw the bottle at him and it landed on the floor.

“You’re not abusing them, are you?” I looked him square in the eye. He leaned against the bunks and ran his hands furiously through his hair.

“Why would you think that, Bryn?” he asked. “I just told you why I have them! The pain has been coming back off and on and it makes it pretty fucking difficult to perform or do anything for that matter!”

“Should I believe you?” I didn’t care if I was overreacting. Seeing some of the most powerful pain pills in his bag gave me a sick feeling. I mean, go to the damn drug store and get Tylenols or something, not something that would knock you out immediately after just one!

Cale put his hands on each of my shoulders, his amber eyes burning holes through mine. “Yes, Bryn. I swear, I do not abuse these and I only take them when I can’t stand the pain. I sound like a girl pleading with you like this so just believe me please so we can get a move on?”

I studied his facial expression for some sort of slip up. But one more second of him looking at me the way he was, and I was done for. I’d let the whole thing go at least for tonight. I didn’t want to be a party pooper and put a damper on his plans.

I decided to believe him for now.

“Alright. I believe you,” I said, kissing him on the cheek. “Now let’s get everyone on the bus so we can have some fun.”

After Cale picked up the bottle of pills I threw by him, he made sure they were at the very bottom of the bag so he would ‘forget’ about them, or at least that’s what he said. Everyone piled back onto the bus a couple of minutes later and the atmosphere was crazy. We were all restless and this was the first time we were going ‘out’ anywhere besides the bus and hotel rooms so being antsy is was understatement.
