Use cash and keep moving.
After I ran away from home, these
were the two rules that dictated my life. Scoring a job as a roadie fit
perfectly for what I needed. Traveling, cash, and life out of the spotlight.
But when my path collides with West, the lead singer of Bus
Stop, I can’t seem to stay out of his spotlight—especially since we’ll be
touring together for an entire year.
West is determined to break down
my walls. He won’t give up. And little by little they come crumbling. But if he
knew what lurked behind them, he wouldn’t be so eager to get rid of them.
The more time we spend together,
the more the lines of our friendship become blurred. He makes me dream of
things I never thought possible. But while our friendship has been evolving
into a romance, my secrets have been closing in. And just when I’ve decided to
reveal my past to West, I’m confronted by it. The cost of my freedom could ruin
the life of the guy I love…

His hand stills. He doesn’t move. Neither do I, and neither one of us speaks. Then West shifts first, gently pushing me away, and rolls to a sitting position. He rubs his eyes and looks around and finally with a sigh, glances over his shoulder at me where I still lay on the blanket.
“It’s late,” he says, “and you’ve got to be up early for work.”
I nod, completely confused that he’s the one who pulled away.
He gets to his feet and holds out his hand. “Come on, I’ll walk you to your room.”
I let him pull me up, and together we fold the blanket. But as I come toward him with my ends of the blanket, he slides one arm around my back and holds me to him. “Hug me,” he whispers. “Please?”
His words liquefy my insides, and I don’t hesitate as I slip both arms around his waist and lay my face on his chest. With the blanket smooshed between us, I listen to his heartbeat as he pulls me in snug, resting his head on top of mine. Gently, he rocks me, humming a song I don’t recognize, but the tune buzzes through me, and I sink further into the embrace.
We stand this way, gently swaying, as he hums the whole song. I haven’t cried in many years. The last time I did I was in excruciating pain. So when the wetness pools in my eyes, I blink my lids, surprised, realizing they’re tears of happiness.
Exactly what tears should be.
