I’ll apologize for moving on,
And I know that you’ll forgive.
Because that’s how you are,
You only wanted me to live.
So, babe,
The walls you haunted have become toocold.
This hole you left is feelingreally old.
So, I know that it’s time to let go.
But wait.
There’re just some things to say beforeyou leave.
I took all the time I needed to grieve.
So, go on, don’t worry about me.
I’m fine.
We’re fine.
I swear to God, I’m just fine.
So, tell me you love me one more time,
And then, tell me goodnight …
Goodbye.

“I am thoroughlyfucked,” Sebastian complained from behind the drums. “Dev, man,it’s fuckin’ nine o’clock and I’mdying.I need to eat something, I need to sleep, and more importantly, I need to jerkoff.”
“Do Iwannaask why that’s most important this very minute?” Chaddrawled, rolling his eyes toward him.
“Because, ChaddingtonBear, I’ve been staring at your beautiful ass for the past nine hours of mylife. If you reallywannaknow.” Sebastian’s browstook a jump toward his hairline before winking at the guitarist, and Chadgroaned.
“I need to getouttahere before I kick his ass, Dev,” he threatened.
“Baby, you couldn’tkick my ass, even if you tried.”
Ty sighed and scrubbedhis palms over his face. “In a second, I’m giving him permission to at leasttake a swing at you, bro.”
“Oh, dear sweet Lord,please, Ty,” Chad begged. “Just one. That’s all I need.”
“Whatever,”Sebgrumbled. “I’m just saying, I’m fucking beat, okay? Canwe pick this shit up tomorrow?Please?Does it make it better if I say please?”
I didn’t want to sayanything, but I was gettingpretty tiredmyself. I wasused to my days winding down around now, and here, I hadn’t left the studiolonger than a few minutes to use the bathroom. Tess had long since left. She’dheaded to the house to hang out with Kylie while we worked, and I hated tosound so corny, but God, I was starting to miss her.
Apparently, Devin was amachine, and even now, he looked as though he could work for another threehours. But, with a reluctant sigh, he nodded and set his guitar on the stand.
“Okay, we can be donefor tonight,” he relented, throwing a wave toward Richard, who may or may nothave been dozing off.
