Cat was coming out of the bathroom down the hall when Bree stepped out into the hallway. She was on the phone with someone, talking in a quick, hushed tone. It seemed odd to Bree, but she couldn’t make out what she was saying. When Cat saw her, the woman’s eyes bulged for a second, and she quickly hung up, shoving her phone in her pocket.Deciding to ignore the odd occurrence, Bree asked, “Are you all right?” She did her best to make her voice sound concerned instead of angry. It was hard for her to feel sorry for the girl who constantly seemed

Standing on the grounds and looking up at the Gateway Arch with Trent’s hand in hers was much different than it had been the day before when Bree had been there with her bandmates. She’d been angry at Cat and frustrated at Zach. Now, she was still upset at Cat, but Zach was with her, and she was pretty happy with him.Especially since he and Shawna seemed to be hitting it off so nicely. The girl they’d met the night before at the club had been a little hesitant to come along with just the three of them, but Bree had managed to talk her into it, and n

The bus had barely stopped when Cat got up from her seat, stalked to the door, and got out, walking several steps away and pulling her phone out of her pocket. Bree assumed she was calling a ride back to the hotel, or maybe she’d take a rideshare all the way back to Nashville. Bree didn’t care.

Bree felt dumb for not realizing it, but she didn’t know anyone else who did drugs and didn’t know the signs.

Bree wanted to confront Cat, to see if she’d admit to cutting the electricity to the club. But as soon as she walked out into the parking lot, she could tell that wasn’t going to happen.Reflection from the lights of a police car radiated off of every surface, including the bus, filling their fields of vision with red and blue. “I didn’t do anything!” she heard a familiar voice screaming, but the fact that Cat was in handcuffs and being escorted to the back seat of the police car made Bree think otherwise. Especially since she already had

By the time they reached the parking lot, Trent’s legs were burning. Not from carrying Bree. She was light as a feather, but he had walked through the fire to get her out of the room, and he was pretty sure he’d sustained some damage because of it. He couldn’t slow down until he was sure she was out and safe, though.As soon as he saw an ambulance, he rushed over to it. The paramedics immediately moved to help Bree. Trent didn’t know if she was burned, too, but he had a feeling she must be. Everything started happening so quickly. She was laid
