Please don’t open. Please don’t open.

Cage opens the door to his and Jake’s room, which is right next to ours.

Brock and Rory and Donny and Callie are a few floors up in suites. Thank God they won’t hear this.

“Cuz?” Cage says, his voice shaking.

“Dragon. I think he may have OD’d on something.”

“Fuck!” Cage rushes alongside me.

“You a family member?” the male paramedic asks.

“Friend. Bandmate,” Cage says.

“I can only let one of you ride along.”

I nod to Cage. “I’ll keep you posted.”

We’re almost to the elevator when what I was dreading happens.

Maddie and Brianna, both dressed in lounge pants and tank tops, come running toward me.

“What’s going on?” Brianna demands. “Jesse, are you all right?”

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Brianna

“It’s Dragon,” Jesse says, his voice low, slightly shaking.

“What happened?” Maddie asks.

“I don’t know. He may have OD’d on something. I’ll keep you all posted as well as I can.”

I reach out to touch Jesse’s arm, but he yanks it away.

I’m hurt, but we had this chat.

No distractions.

And this—whatever just happened to Dragon—is amajordistraction. Jesse doesn’t need me on top of that.

The elevator doors close, and Maddie clasps her hand to her mouth. “Is Dragon going to make it?”

“God, I hope so.” My heart is racing.

“What are they going to do for a drummer?”

“I don’t know. Brock used to play the drums. He and David and a couple other guys had a garage band.”

“Were they any good?”

“Hell no. They sucked.”

“Then how is that going to do us any good?”

I shake my head. “I don’t know, Mads. But Brock may be all we have.”
