“Ya think?” I glare at him.
The doors open to the lobby and outside we get into the waiting Uber SUV.
Their cars and my bike are being left behind. We didn’t earn them.
We pile our bags inside and I take the front passenger seat so I don’t have to be beside any of them. Listening to their bickering or feeling their concerned stares.
Luckily, they keep their mouths shut during the hour drive to the airport.
We unload our stuff and head inside, checking into our flights.
“This is where I leave you,” I say.
“Wait…” Fox grins. “Are you going back for her?”
I shake my head forlornly. “No, I’m not going back.”
“Where the fuck are you going then, man?” Rush asks, puzzled.
“Home,” I answer.
“Uh … so you are coming with us then?”
“No,” I say adamantly. “I’m going home.”
Cannon claps me on the shoulder, a toothpick is held between his teeth, a sign he’s desperate for a cigarette. “Tell your mom hello for us. If you see my parents tell them I’ll be home soon—and tell my sister to stop sending me pictures of random dicks and asking me to rate their attractiveness for ‘research purposes’. Those are not the kind of naked pictures I want to see.”
I snort, surprised I can find humor in anything. “Calista always did love fucking with you.”
“Little sisters are annoying as shit,” he grumbles.
I back away from them. “I’ll be back in L.A. in a week or two. We’ll do what we can to find new representation.”
“Are you sure you’ll be back in L.A.?” Fox asks, tilting his head.
“Yes,” I growl. “I’m not coming back here. She’s better off without me.”
“She’s not,” Rush says, almost angrily. “But keep telling yourself whatever you need to in order to feel better.”
He turns and walks away, not looking back.
Cannon gives me a concerned look. “I’m sorry.”
I sigh. “I am too.”
So fucking sorry.
“We’ll see you,” he says.
Then him and Fox are gone too.
I’m alone once more, like I deserve.

I get off the plane in Nashville, renting a car, before making the almost two hour drive to my hometown.
It’s just as small as I remember, smaller than Mia’s hometown.
