At an ungodly hour of the morning, my phone rang louder than I would have thought possible. “Hello?”
“Where are you?” My interfering, overprotective cousin demanded.
“Vic’s house.” I murmured, still half asleep.
Wrong answer. “You’re dead. Also, he’s dead.”
Mike rolled over beside me. “Baby, go back to sleep.” He said, opening his eyes slowly.
“Mike and I are both very alive.” I snapped, suddenly wide awake.
“God damn it, Charley! Stay away from him.” Austin snapped.
“It’s none of your business. Bye, Austin.” I said coolly, hanging up and lying back down beside Mike.
“Was he mad?” Mike asked softly.
“Of course.” I replied. “You’re lucky I put up with your bullshit.”
“I am so lucky.” He smiled, then frowned. “We’re going on tour.”
“What?!” I demanded. “When?”
“We leave in a few weeks. But that’s not why I brought it up. . . We’re going with Of Mice & Men.” Mike said.
“Jesus, Mike!” I moaned.
“That’s hot. Say that again.” He said.
“What time is it?” I asked, putting my head on his chest.
He put his arms around me. “Four A.M.”
“We can talk about this in the morning.” I sighed.

“Someone had a good night.” Jaime said as I walked downstairs.
“You guys want to hear about? Because Vic hasn’t gotten laid in a long time and I’m sure it could get him off.” I said. “Now how come nobody told me about you guys going on tour with my homicidal cousin?”
“It didn’t come up.” Tony said.
“You do realize he’s pissed at me, wants to murder your brother? How do you think going on a tour together is going to be?” I asked.
“We’ll be there. They can talk it out. Don’t stress, okay?” Vic said.
"He's annoying." I rolled my eyes.
"Austin isn't just mad at Mike because of you. You know that, right? Austin and Charlotte used to have a thing." Vic said.
My eyes widened. "No way. I'll be back later, okay? Tell Mike."
"Charley, don't-" The door was shut before I head anymore.

"Austin Robert Carlile! Open the fucking door!" I yelled, banging on his front door.
Finally he answered. "Hi, Charley. Lovely to see you."
I glared at him. "You hypocrite. Oh, did you cook? I'm starving."
He watched as I shoved past him and into the kitchen. "Why exactly am I a hypocrite?"
"You never happened to mention anything about you and little girl called Charlotte." I said.
He blushed. "That's not relevant."
"Mike isn't a bad person. Mike has been very good to me. You have no fucking idea what's happened between me and Mike, so jut stay the fuck out of it!" I snapped.
"I don't want to see you get hurt again! You have no idea how badly he hurt you!" Austin cried.
"I was the one experiencing it, idiot! Of course I know!" I yelled in frustration.
"You stay away from him." Austin said.
"You stay out of it if you want to be in my life." I said, slamming the door behind me.
