My heart is racing. I need to calm down, and I need Aurora to think this is normal.
Oh God.
“Aurora, why don’t you tell me the ABC’s?”
“Okay, Mommy.” She begins saying the alphabet as I look out the window to find someone in the backseat of the car on my right with a camera, taking pictures of us.
The sound of tires squealing have me jerking my head around to face forward.
Red brake lights are all I see before I’m jerked forward, hitting my head on the airbag.
Screams. Mine. Aurora’s.
The car spins and when we stop, flashes blind me from all around.
Fuck.

Apollo
She sent me away. Again.
I didn’t mind the first time. I thanked her for it. I wanted to go. To be free.
I was a dick back then.
I’m not thanking her now.
Fuck. I want to be with her. With my little birdie. I want the family I was so close to having until my label pulled the rug from under me.
It’s not Lucy’s fault. She just stepped on me when I was already down. And the worst part is I know she had her heart in the right place.
She wants me to be happy, but she doesn’t understand that I can’t be happy. Not without her and Aurora in my life.
They are my home. A home I’ve been lacking since I lost my mom.
My phone blows up with call after call from everyone in my band. Thankfully not Ty, but still.
I don’t want to talk to anyone right now.
All I care about is my girls. If Lucy is still my girl.
God. I hope so.
Her stubbornness drives me crazy. I wonder if she’ll ever let me love her the way I need to.
A text comes in. Hoping it is from Lucy, I look at my phone.
It’s not. It’s Ares.
Lo, something happened. Come to the hotel ASAP!
I take the next right turn so I can head back.
That’s the last place I want to be at, but whatever’s going on seems to be big.
When I step off the elevator, I frown as several doors open and realize one of them is to my room. “What the fuck?”
