on her face as Drake sat down next to her. He glanced over at her and gave her that killer smile that made my knees weak.

“I don’t think we’ve met, I’m Drake.”

Rachel looked ready to pass out as she gazed up at him.

“I know who you are. I’m Rachel, Chloe’s roommate.”

My stomach tightened as they continued to flirt all the way to the bar. Drake had made his position with me clear, and yet I couldn’t help but get jealous when he gave any girl attention.

I parked as far away from the spot we had been in that night with Nick as I could. Bile rose in my throat as I glanced in that direction, almost expecting him to still be laying there bleeding. I started shaking as we walked toward the doors. Drake, who had been watching me without my knowledge, was at my side instantly.

He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into his side.

“It’s alright, I’m here. He won’t hurt you again, I promise.”

My voice was stuck in my throat so I couldn’t reply. When we reached the entrance and caught up with our friends, he released me and stepped in first, giving me a minute to compose myself. I could feel his eyes on me as I pushed through the crowd to catch up and I gave him a small nod to let him know I was ok.

Drake led us to an empty table next to the stage carrying his guitar.

“I had them save this one for you guys. I’ve got to go back and meet up with the guys and Jade.”

Rachel watched his retreating figure with rapt attention and my jealous side reared its ugly head.

“Earth to Rachel, come in Rachel,” I said as I snapped my fingers in front of her face.

“What, oh sorry.”

I shook my head as Logan chuckled.

“Don’t go there Rachel, if you have sex with him, you’ll make it awkward for me when he kicks you to the curb.”

Rachel frowned, “I wasn’t planning on having sex with him.”

I gave her an incredulous look, “Could’ve fooled me.”

Amber jumped up before Rachel could reply.

“Chloe why don’t you come to the bar with me and help me get us drinks.”

I stood and followed her to the bar. She spun around as soon as we were out of earshot.

“What the hell was that?”

I looked at her confused, “What are you talking about?”

“You know exactly what I’m talking about. You blew at Rachel for no reason.”

I shrugged as I ordered our beers, “No I didn’t. I just saw the way she was looking at Drake. If they hook up, it’ll make it awkward every time we’re all together.”

“Are you sure that’s all it is? Because I saw the way you were looking at him. For God’s sake, Chloe, get your act together. You were just holding hands with Logan earlier.”

“You’re imagining things. I’m over Drake, and I haven’t given Logan an answer, we’re taking things slow.”

She shook her head, “I’m not blind Chloe, you can lie to yourself, but you can’t lie to me. You still care about Drake and you’re stringing Logan along. Do you even have feelings for him or are you just trying to get over Drake?”

I grabbed the beers and turned to glare at her, “Yes, I do fucking care about Logan, I’m trying to get my shit together. I do want to give Logan a chance, but I’m afraid ok? I don’t want to lose him.”

“Do you really think he would abandon you if things went south with him? He cares too much about you to let that happen. You need to get your head out of Drake’s ass and see what’s standing right in front of you.”

“You think I don’t know how amazing Logan is? Because I do, so stop trying to push me to him and let things happen!” I practically shouted as I walked back to the table. I sat Logan’s beer in front of him and forced a smile onto my face.

He pulled my chair closer to him and rested his hand on my thigh.

“What took you guys so long?”

I glanced at Amber who was looking anywhere but at me. “We had to wait forever, sorry.”

We sat and talked as we waited for Drake and the other members to take the stage. Logan barely touched his beer, but our waitress brought a couple over to me while we waited. Finally, the lights were lowered and the band came out of the side door and took the
