see that it was Jade calling me.

“Hello?”

“Chloe? Hey it’s Jade. I’m sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you had talked to Drake lately?”

I could tell that she was worried. “No, it’s been a couple of days. Why?”

“I don’t want you to freak out, but I haven’t been able to find him.”

“What do you mean you can’t find him?” I asked frantically.

“He split after a show the other night and no one has heard from him since. He sent me a text telling me that he was going to a party and now he won’t answer his phone.”

“Oh God, what if he’s hurt? Where are you guys at and I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

She gave me the address of the bar they played at last. “We’ve had to cancel two shows Chloe, this isn’t like him at all.”

“I’m on my way, just call me if you find him.”

I hung up with her and turned to Jordan. “We have to go to Pennsylvania, Drake is missing!”

“Alright, calm down. Let’s go back to Danny’s and pack a few things, then we’ll go.”

Every bad thing possible flashed through my mind as I ran to Jordan’s car. I couldn’t lose Drake, I just couldn’t.

Chapter Twelve

Drake

I smiled as the crowd screamed out our name, feeding off their energy. We had done well at every show so far, but this crowd was absolutely wild for us. I had no doubt we had secured some new fans, especially from some of the women standing in front of the stage. As I sang the last few verses of our last song and told everyone goodnight, the screaming turned into a roar.

Adam slapped me on the back as we packed up our instruments while Eric went to find the owner to collect our pay. “You’re on fire tonight buddy.”

“Thanks, I guess I’m excited that Chloe will be with me in the next couple days.”

“Somebody is going to get laid.” He said in a sing-song voice as he waggled his eyebrows at me.

I punched him in the arm as I grabbed my guitar and headed for the back door. There was no way I was going to go through the massive crowd of people to get to the front exit. I stepped out into the warm evening air and lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply to calm my after show nerves.

The quietness outside the bar was a welcome reprieve from the madness that I had just left behind. I walked slowly across the lot toward the bus, giving myself time to finish my cigarette before I boarded. Just as I reached the bus door, a figure stepped out of the darkness and blocked it.

“Hey Drake, miss me?”

I groaned out loud as I realized it was Kadi standing in front of me. “What do you want? How did you even find me?”

She held up one of the fliers we had out at every bar we played in. They had our entire schedule on them. I mentally smacked myself as I realized I had pretty much given her step by step instructions on how to find me.

“I thought you’d be happy to see me,” she whined.

“If I wasn’t excited in Maryland, what makes you think I’d be excited in Pennsylvania?”

“Oh come on baby, you know you’ve missed me. We were always great together.”

“Can’t say that I have. And like I told you before, I’m with someone now so you need to back off. You’re starting to act like a stalker.” I tried to push past her, but she held her ground.

“You mean someone who cheats on you when you’re not around.”

I rolled my eyes. “What are you talking about? You don’t even know Chloe.”

She gave me a smug smile. “Oh, but I do. I’ve spent some quality time with her and Jordan since the last time I saw you.”

I felt a burning rage take over. “You stay the fuck away from her Kadi, I mean it.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t normally associate with cheaters but I needed proof.”

“Proof of what exactly?”

She huffed as she handed me an envelope. “Haven’t you heard a word that I’ve said? I needed proof that she wasn’t good enough for you and I have it. She’s been cheating on you while you’ve been away.”

I snatched the envelope out of her hand and opened it. There were several pictures inside and my breath caught as I looked through them. Picture after picture showed Jordan and Chloe together; hugging in the living room, Chloe holding his
