Chapter 101
AngelicaIt was absolute mayhem.Zane was running around shirtless while Demetri chased him through the house, Alec and Nat were making out on the balcony, where I'm assuming they thought they were hidden, clothes were coming off faster than I could blink.My own brother was in the corner with Dani while Jay and Pris talked loudly about safe sex.And I was in the middle of it all, grinning, trying to keep track of all of the different conversations, the yelling, the buzz of being around people - nice people.I had never fit in.Not with anyone.And it's not like I suddenly did.But, for the first time, I wasn't sticking out, I was just... part of the gang. And it actually felt really good.Better than I could have ever imagined.Even though I was tired.And dreaming about my pillow."Question," Lincoln pried himself away from Dani and pointed down the hall. "Why doesn't this room have a door?"I felt myself tense. "That's a fantastic question, you should ask Will."Linc

WillSleep had always been difficult for me. I wasn't one of those guys who could just crash after a concert or a signing, I had to decompress, my mind was so aware of the constant conversations the chatter, the music, the noise - I had to just let my brain soak it all in, and sort it into the right places.Some nights it took hours.Other nights it took minutes.Lucky me, that after one brief conversation with Ang - and I was leaning toward hour two. One conversation that no matter how many times I twisted it around, tried to make it fit, it just didn't.I was in a weird place.A place where I wanted to hate her.And a place where I was suddenly just exhausted from all the hate.Keeping every single part of myself indifferent wasn't something I was practiced in when it came to women.I'd never been good at it.Until she'd forced me to be.Until I saw the way he looked at her and knew - the more I attached myself the more he would wonder what was so great about her - the m

AngelicaI panickedAnyone would panic after that scene.In bed together.Comfortable.Sexy.Hot.Sweating.I gripped the front of my baseball cap and tugged it harder onto my head as the Uber pulled up to set.Had someone said "Hey Ang you look a bit hot, need something?" I would probably ask for a cold slap to the face. This wasn't... real. He was helping me because he had no choice.There was a nothing there.There never would be again.No matter how treacherous my legs were as they wrapped around his body like they belonged together - like we still fit.But Will had changed.Everything about him was different, from the way he carried himself to the way his language had shifted from this playboy to some psycho adult who should have five kids and a mortgage.Tremors wracked my body, maybe I was getting sick, maybe it was him. It wasn't the type of physical response that happens after trying to get clean. A sick metallic taste filled my mouth.I needed a minute.One

WillI couldn't look away from her.And I'd bet my entire fortune that nobody else on set could either. The sheer agony on her face was reason enough to be transfixed, but what followed was such raw, gut-wrenching emotion that it hurt to breathe, and it only got worse as she fell against the sand.I flinched and dug my fingers into my palms, ready to spring into action to save her from the stares - from the world.It went against every fiber of my being to watch her hurt in that way, to see the real Angelica - the one I had fallen for - expose herself to all of these strangers - the world - to the very people who stoned her when she came clean about who she really was.When she came clean about our breakup.The drugs.Everything.She didn't owe them shit.She didn't owe me either.And yet she was giving us everything.My heart of stone began to beat in those few minutes when I fought with the desire to catch every last one of those tears with my lips and promise they'd nev

AngelicaThe restaurant was closed off to everyone but the cast and crew, I was thankful for the break - and the food.Zane: Hey man, you got your own trailer too? Sweet, I bet it's kick ass, hey side note, does it have mallows? Cuz I can provide the goods. Should we have a trailer party?I glanced down at Will's phone and smiled, a girl could get used to Zane's quirky sense of humor. In a lot of ways he reminded me of Demetri.It had been a hellish day on set.And to thank Will for not suing him, or beating the shit out of him when he strongly suggested Will act in the movie, Jay was taking everyone out to dinner.I wasn't holding out hope that someone wouldn't leave with a black eye or missing tooth, that's just how it was between everyone.Nat was there with Ella. Alec was in the corner cooing in her face like, like a dad. It was the most surreal thing I'd ever seen, rock star Alec Daniels, holding a baby girl's hand and ignoring the rest of the world as if it didn't ex

Will"Jay!" I waved my script in his face. "Dude, why is everything blank after my name? Am I just standing there or what?" I yawned and gave my head a shake. After last night's dinner, I was emotionally and physically spent, not only was I trying to corral all my clients via keeping in touch with email, but I still had conference calls with tour managers for Zane, not to mention butt loads of amounts of all the other shit that I had to take care of for AD2 and their new merchandising ventures.Add yet there I was.On set.In Hell.And apparently with a blank script.Ang and I had shared two words since carpooling to set that morning. I said hello, she said, it's early.Okay so that was three.Wordlessly, I'd made coffee.She'd poured us our cups, adding sugar to mine.We were a pair.Both of us on lockdown since we'd sung together, since I'd jumped in after her in the freaking ocean.Since I'd agreed to not only be on set but be in the movie for reasons I still couldn't

Angelica"I can't do this anymore." I hung my head and rested it in my hands. Gem grabbed some light lip-gloss and forced me to sit up so she could spread it across my lips. "It's too hard, it feels too real." I choked back a sob and closed my eyes while Gem finished up."This is based on true events, right?" Gem asked.I opened one eye. "Yes.""But you never had that conversation in the last scene with Will?"I squirmed, "We had something similar, a few years ago, back when..." I didn't say it. I didn't want to. "Back when things were bad."She nodded and dropped the gloss back onto the table then put her hands on her hips. "It feels real because it was your life, it is your life, and your past is suddenly now in your life." She reached for my hands.For some insane reason I let her take them. She squeezed. And tears welled behind my stupid eyes again."You're reliving your past through different eyes." She spoke slowly. "Realizing things that maybe you've never thought abou

WillShe'd run off set. Taken an Uber back to the house. And hadn't spoken to anyone all day.I knew she was in her room because of the lack of door and suddenly felt like an even bigger ass because she couldn't suffer in privacy.And what made matters worse was I was thankful that she wasn't locked in the bathroom because I couldn't do it again, I couldn't barge in on her and see her doing drugs."What the hell are you doing?" I roared while Ang stumbled toward me, slinking her dress up so she showed so much thigh I almost saw her underwear. "Ang! What are you doing?" She rubbed her eyes and shrugged, "I was tired, all right? So I snorted some coke, it's no big deal, plus we can drink more."I steadied her on her feet. "Ang it is a big deal, drugs are a big deal, who gave you this shit?""Problem?" Andrew came up to the door, "The guys want to get the party started, looking good Ang." I hated their relationship, loathed it actually.She gave me a guilty look."Give us a mi

AngelicaI ran away.Again.This time to the bathroom instead of my doorless room.I was too confused to keep crying.Too tired from such an emotional day to even ask what the guy meant when he said he couldn't be my friend yet needed to be my everything.And a small part of me wanted to run back into his arms and offer him all that I had and see if he'd bite. See if he'd at least be tempted.But I had nothing to offer.Except a dirty past.A shaky present.An unknown future.And guys like Will, they deserved the good girls, the ones with no demons chasing them down, the ones with no scars from needles. The ones who weren't constantly showering in an effort to clean the sins away.I started the shower.And peeled the wet clothes from my body.The bathroom door jerked open.Will stood there, shirtless. His intense gaze moved over my skin like he was caressing me with his eyes. I didn't cover up. There was no point. Because I wasn't a girl who was ashamed of the current

WillAng was even more silent than normal when she walked into the living room, her hair was a wet messy knot on the top of her head, and once again I was gifted with the girl I remembered.No makeup.An oversized T-shirt.And a pair of sweats I could have sworn I'd noticed missing from my room two nights ago when I did a load of laundry."Those mine?" I pointed at the black Under Armour sweats and waited for her to deny it.Instead, she shrugged a shoulder and said, "Maybe.""So you're stealing from me now?""Borrowing," she corrected. "If I stole them, that would mean that I left the house with them with the sole purpose of keeping them for myself." She rubbed her nose and sat cross-legged on the couch, barely hiding a yawn behind the back of her hand. "All right, we have to be on set in a few hours, so spill."I suddenly forgot everything I was going to say.And I had no idea why.I was better than this.I was an agent for God's sake. I knew the words, I was older than
