Chapter 4

Must be something in the water

Feel like I can take the world

Throw the weight up on my shoulders

Cause I won't even feel the burn~

Don't be afraid to dive

Be afraid that you didn't try

These moments remind us why

We're here, we're so alive~

I then jumped with the beat as the guys

smashed the chorus with me.

Let's live like we're immortal

Maybe just for tonight

We'll think about tomorrow (yeah) when the sun

comes up~

Dustin sang the chorus with me, screaming his

lungs out. Mace nodding at me, banging his head as he hit those drums. Caden

gave me a huge grin, a glint of pride in his eyes.

Cause by this time tomorrow

We'll be talking about tonight

Keep doing what we want, we want, we want

No more wasted nights~

"Holy fucking shit, guys! You fucking did

it again." Andrei, Diatonic's manager, screamed at my face right after the

mind-blowing performance we just had. His arms were wide open ready to welcome

us in his embrace. I laughed at the sight while the rest of the band chuckled.

Indeed it was mind blowing for us. I could

never get used to the crowd's reaction as we performed music on stage. It was

just so amazing. It feels surreal.

I gave him an ear splitting grin as he hugged

us one by one.

"****! You guys are just fucking

amazing." He complimented again.

"Thanks, man." Dustin, our guitarist

and our leader, answered as he was the last one to receive the hug.

"Come on, man. It's not like we weren't

here last Friday. You should stop feeding our ego." We laughed at Mace's

comment. He's our drummer and Caden, who is yet to give a comment, is our

bassist. But I know he was feeling the same way, still drunk from the hype of our

performance.

"I know. Don't make me regret taking you

guys in." We burst into fits of laughter. Andrei then looped his arms

around me and Dustin. "Let's go get some drinks, shall we?"

As usual, Andrei gave us free drinks.

Unlimited I might add. I settled for a non-alcoholic drink since it's a school

day tomorrow and it's Monday. I certainly don't want to drag my drunk butt to

class.

I maintained a distance from the guys in hopes

that they'll leave me alone for a moment and let me enjoy my drink. They always

manage to me get drunk on a Sunday night and I seriously do not want that right

now. Not when I vaguely remember a certain professor mentioning a test on

Monday. I groaned. Shit.

"Drinking alone, I see."

I gasped in shock as the voice feathered

against my ear. I immediately turned and jumped back while I saw the intruder.

****.

"Ahh." My eyes widened. My mouth had

a difficulty closing. My throat dried up suddenly.

Double ****.

He held sparks of amusement in his eyes and a

hint of bewilderment. If I know any better, it was because I was in utter

shock.

I cleared my throat as I bobbed my Adam's

apple up and down.

He knew who I was. He recognized me. How the

hell did he manage to find out?

"Hey..." I greeted awkwardly.

"Can I... help you?" As I try to act like I don't recognize him.

A smirk played across his face. A mischievous

one.

Shit.

"What game are you playing...

Kyree?"

****.

Shit.

He made sure to highlight my name. My heart

began to drum wildly and from the looks of his face, he knew I was acting.

"I... I'm not playing anything." He

raised his brow in disbelief, challenging me to keep continuing my act.

I sighed heavily. "How did you

know?" I paused. "How did you know it was me?" I said breathily.

I hunched, looking down, feeling defeated and embarrassed.

He chuckled. "Your voice gave it away.

The rest fell into place."

My head snapped back to look at him. I

frowned, bemused. If that was true, he was the first to figure out who I was.

But that was impossible. No one ever managed to figure out. No one was able to

recognize me… ever. I made sure to conceal my identity. My voice wouldn't

simply just gave it away.

"Did someone tell you who I was?" I

asked almost in panic as I took a step towards him.

Remi and Mila wouldn't drop my identity to anyone

just like that. I trust both of them my life.

He smirked as he took in my frantic state.

"You look scared, babe. You don't want anyone to find out who you

are?" He was teasing but I felt a weight from his words. There was meaning

and it's making my heart race in a fucking bad way.

I took a step again, almost lunging at him.

"Please don't tell anyone." I said almost begging.

"Is there a reason not to?" He asked

with a raised brow. A playful smirk was displayed on his lips as he looked down

on me. He was very tall and had muscles contouring in his shirt. He was bigger

than Remi. And Remi was a hunk. He goes to the gym when he can and he's proud

of his body. I wondered if he was the same. God, do I really have the time to

think like that at this time?

"Just please." I begged him again.

He grinned mischievously. My heart jumped

almost out of my chest. This could not be good. "I'll think about

it."

That's when I knew that we were totally wrong

about him. This man has his own facade.

"Kai!" One of my bandmates called. I

turned to see that it was Mace calling me. Everyone was waiting for me at the

table. I could see a smirk on Caden's lips knowing I could never escape from

them tonight. "What are you doing over there? Come here and drink with

us." He beckoned.

I nodded at them. "Yeah. I'll be right there!"

I opened my mouth to speak to Keelan, begged him over and over again if I could

but he wasn't there when I turned.

Holy shit. I'm fucking screwed.
