Loosen Up

Between course work, an internship, clinicals, and a part-time job, med student Liam Martin is worn out. When his lab is cancelled, freeing up his Friday night, all he wants to do is crash. Liam's roommates have other plans. They think Liam is too stressed and needs to loosen up ... as in going out to party, not staying home to rest. Adam scores coveted tickets to a concert by local alt band Ebola Rain and uses his connections to get backstage. But Liam doesn't want to go, and manages to lose his roommates backstage by hiding out in one of the dressing rooms, where he promptly falls asleep. Little does Liam know the room belongs to Cooper Dawson, sexy frontman for the band, who also thinks Liam needs to loosen up. Then Cooper asks Liam to hang out with him, and suddenly Liam isn’t so tired anymore.

“Why is everyone asking me that?” Liam cried. Hedidn’t have a problem. “Nothing’s wrong, okay? Nothing. Not a damn thing—”

Amused laughter stopped him in mid-rant. Who wasthis guy? How was this funnyto him?

“You’re a freak,” he declared, throwing the sports bottle onto the sofa. “I just wanted to know what you’re doing in my dressing room, dude. I’m not asking for your life story. You don’t have to jump down my fucking throat.”

“Sorry,” Liam mumbled. “You know, I’m sorry, okay? Call the cops if you want but I’m sorry. My friends thought it would be fun to come to your show and I just, I don’t know, I’m just tired and this was the first room I entered, okay? That’s why I’m here. I fell asleep—”

“You slept through our show?” The anger crept back into his voice. “Damn, I know we ain’t the greatest but shit, we ain’t that boring.”

“I didn’t want to come,” Liam admitted. “I don’t even know who you are.”
