something to occupy her and keep her mind off of being a voyeur.

Stuck in this slow ass elevator with Five and this girl he picked up in the lobby nearly doing it.

She shoved her phone in her pocket. Most likely he just couldn’t hear his phone because of the party. Finally, because it felt like it had taken forever to get to their floor, the elevator finally stopped and the doors opened. She was out and headed down the hallway where the music was coming from.

Some security guys were standing on the outside, as was the usual scene she was finding out, and when she pushed open one of the double doors that led to the master suite of the top floor she was confronted with a wild and almost outrageous party.

The guys didn’t party like this after every show, and up until that one she went to after Rosco’s, this was the second after concert party she had joined. Half naked women were flaunting around the room, the music was ear splitting loud, and the scent of alcohol and pot filled the air.

She coughed and wrinkled her nose, and searched the room for Jacks or any of the other band members.

Of course she didn’t see anyone. Moving more into the room she moved through the bodies that smelled like sweat, tried to listen for Jacks or the other guys’ voices through the loud laughter and music, but felt like she was drowning in a sea of bodies.

When she finally broke through the center of the room and saw the hallway, it was to see a guy leaning against the wall with his face buried in the crook of this girl’s neck, and then of Laura coming out of the back room buttoning up her too tight cropped shirt.

Tanner stopped, her heart pounding in her chest as she watched Laura slowly button up each small, pearl colored bead. The music faded away as Tanner looked at the partially closed door and then back at Laura. Her heart was beating in her ears and filled her throat so it felt clogged and tight.

Laura stopped when she saw Tanner standing there, and that damn bitch grinned this self-satisfied smile that had Tanner curling her hands into fists at her sides. Laura moved closer to her, and when there was only a few feet between them she smiled even broader.

“You looking for Jacks?”

Tanner didn’t answer, just stared at Laura, knowing she should respond, but unable to. She was suddenly furious and knew that if anything came from her mouth it would be vile and from anger. Oh, Tanner wanted to say some pretty out there stuff, but she didn’t know what happened, and if Laura had done with Jacks what Tanner was envisioning.

“He’s in bed.” Laura lifted her hand and ran her finger along the corner of her mouth. “He’s worn out.” She took another step toward her. “I told you to stay out of my way. You’re just another random, easy access pussy for his enjoyment, and once this tour is over with you’ll be gone like the rest of them.” Laura grinned, and her red painted lips stretched wide over her teeth. “And I’ll still be here, giving him exactly what he needs because I know how he likes it.” And then Laura moved past her and disappeared in the crowd.

Tanner moved down the hallway and passed the couple still making out. Hand on the cold wood of the door she pushed it open and stepped inside. There was this light floral fragrance that filled the room.

It was nothing like the cloying, thick scent of the stench perfume Laura normally wore. The lights were off, and the curtains pushed to the side so the lights of Cleveland shown through.

She could see Jacks on the bed on his stomach, but his head was facing away from the window so she could not see his face. His shirt was off, but his pants were still on and so were his shoes. Just looking at him she wouldn’t have assumed he had just had sex with Laura, but she supposed all he needed to have undone was his zipper.

Even though this sick feeling filled her at the thought of Laura all over Jacks, there was another part of her that said he would never do this, not after everything he had told her, and everything they had been through. They weren’t just childhood friends; they were so much more than that.

“Jacks?” She said his
