Chapter 166: I HATE TO ASK: VALERIE

Kayden had popped his head around the dressing room door, "Jesus are you two fighting in here? I can hear you from down the hall. Whatever it is Flynn, she doesn't need the stress." Flynn turned to me, and his eyes softened with pity, then he turned slowly to face Kayden.

"That's exactly what I told her. I want her to go home but she won't. Jonah still isn't here, and it's less than an hour before we're due to go on stage. Lexi and Craig are beside themselves, and I'm wondering why the fuck I ever trusted that dick in the first place," Flynn had said, barely keeping the rage out of his voice.

The last comment went over Kayden's head because we'd never told anyone else about Jonah. We felt it would make everyone nervous about him, and if he'd ended up staying it could have been a wedge between the band members had they known his true intentions when he'd first auditioned.
