I was a piece of shit.

Holding the tumbler of scotch in my hand, I leaned against the sofa while the guys partied at the club where we ended up. I was next to some chick who was trying really hard to get more than an autograph while I sipped my drink. It didn’t take long for me to make out with the blond fan in the back closet, letting myself forget Zelda. I had no sensation, and my heart was numb.

I’d become bitter over the months, and I couldn’t fight the anger. It was all I knew. When life decided to fucking ruin you, there was no point in saving yourself. After finding the truth out about Grace and how she knew I wasn’t the father of Chloe, my world was flipped upside down. She’d been jealous of my love for Zelda, so she lied about the pregnancy being mine. She wanted to be famous and have money. That was also when I found out about the other man she was still with. She’d tried to use me like every fucking person in this fucking life. That was when I knew that I was not worth being loved.

When I finished with the woman, she tried to have sex with me, but I brushed past her and left the closet. I was an asshole. The world felt more balanced when I drank it away.

Tom rushed over and wrapped his arm around me, skunked. “Fuck, man! We are killing it! These women are all over us!” he screamed into my ear as I leaned my head away.

“I get it—I already fucked the blond one in the back,” I said, flashing a cocky smile. I sounded like a douchebag.

“For fuck’s sake, you couldn't wait?” Tom nudged my chest. “No wonder you smell of sweat and pussy!”

Andrew approached us as the only sober one and said, “What is going on? The twins are drinking shots off some woman on a table, Tom looks like he is about to die, and you look miserable. What is happening with you all? I can't leave you alone.”

“You're not my fucking father, Andrew,” I snapped.

“I have to be with the way you idiots act. You have a show tomorrow, so let's wrap this up.”

“Whatever.” I exhaled a deep breath of rage. I needed to punch something.

Screw Zelda. I can’t do this again, I thought. I won’t let myself go down that path with her.

“After seeing Zelda, you lost yourself. She was crying her eyes out. What did you say?”

“I'm tired of people using me. I'm tired of people thinking they can play with my emotions.”

“How was she doing that?” Andrew narrowed his eyes. “She was here for you.”

“Zelda won’t leave James for me. She won’t leave that relationship for me. No one would. No one will ever want to give up something good for a man like me. I'm not worth it.”

Andrew looked defeated. “I'm on this road of music, holding whatever life brings me.” I reached down toward the table and downed the shots someone had ordered.
