The guys were like a powder keg waiting to explode, after that meeting with Gem and Troy. Willa’s presence kept them calm right after Troy left, and before they could open their mouths she eyed them each and laid down the law.

“I don’t want to hear one word,” she said, face stony. “I know that was rough, but it could’ve been worse.” She eyed Finn. “You know what you need to do, right?”

Finn growled, and I bit my lip to keep from telling him to be quiet. He didn’t need me undermining him just then.

“It’s not right —”

“It’s business.” She stared him down, firm determination in her eyes. “You’re lucky that you didn’t get shelved after what happened with Glory Rev. Seriously, Finn, don’t fuck this is up.” She squeezed my shoulder, and shook her head. “It’s not worth it.”

Finn’s eyes flared, murder in them, and my heart hurt to watch him so upset. Eli spoke up before his twin could say something stupid.

“We got the memo. No more cutesy photo ops. It’ll be taken care of, trust me.” Eli’s gaze washed over Finn like cold water and I glanced away. They were going to fight later, I just knew it.

“Well that was fun,” Charlie said as we broke out into the fresh air. The night had fallen during the meeting, sun setting and leaving us under street lights. Finn’s hands were shoved in his pockets, and he responded with a grunt. I wanted to go to him, but figured it was a bad idea when we were standing right outside the label.

“We need to get new instruments,” Ace said, standing close to me. His fingers twitched and when I caught his eye, he smiled ruefully. “Gotta admit not touching you is harder than I thought it would be, especially now knowing that we can’t.”

Finn snorted, rolling his eyes.

“Shut up, Ace.”

“Hey,” Charlie snapped at Finn. “Don’t talk to him like that. Just cause you got your hand caught in the cookie jar —”

“Whoaaaa,” I said, “one, I’m not a cookie jar,” I said, my cheeks going pink when Cash winked at me, “and two, we need to not have this conversation here. Okay? Deep breaths.”

“Right, zen bullshit, whatever,” Finn said, his expression hard. His words cut and it felt like he had physically shoved me.

“Not that I enjoy being the voice of reason here,” Cash said, “but we should probably hit up Music Central before they shut for the night.”

Finn’s upper lip curled.

“Yeah, can’t let our sugar daddy down by not spending his money.” Finn’s words were clipped. “You guys do whatever the fuck you want. I’m going for a walk.”

“Um, no you’re not,” I replied, panic rising in my chest. “It’s not exactly safe for you out on your own.” Finn turned on me then, for what felt like the first time, his eyes furious.

“What you think I can’t manage on my own?” he demanded. “You think I need you breathing down my neck, keeping me safe, Darcy? Oh sweetheart —” He let out an empty laugh.
