Hazed – Nicole Howard (1)

I cried. Luke was completely involved in Kenzie’s life. How could I ever justify that to Tim? I couldn’t. No amount of words could ever change the decisions I had made. There would never be an explanation for the reason Luke was in Tim’s daughter’s life, while he didn’t even know she existed. Time dragged on as we sat silently and waited for the end of the concert. Things were much quieter backstage. I could see the blonde, Allison, peering onto the stage from the bottom of the stairs.

Thank god Maggie and I were tucked away, out of earshot from the members of the crew and Allison. The last thing I needed was for her to find out about Kenzie before Tim. Ian and Justin were the first ones down the stairs, their clothes dripping with sweat. Ian, the oldest, wasted no time in stripping the dark gray shirt from his body, revealing his toned upper body.

I heard Maggie catch her breath, as a runner delivered another gray shirt to Ian, which he slipped on simultaneously. Tim took the steps two at a time, finding his balance at the bottom. His new girlfriend, well maybe not that new but newer than me was waiting for him. My heart skipped a beat when he continued past her, completely ignoring her company. He was making his way toward us, Bambi on his tale. My jealousy had renamed her.

Stupid green monster. “Hey.” His eyes brightened. His voice was hoarse. “How did you like the show?” He finally acknowledged Bambi’s existence, allowing her to peck his cheek lightly. His gaze dropped to the floor, hiding his eyes from my view. “You girls should come to the after party.” Allison’s bright red lips suggested. “They are incredible. I rarely go, but when I’m around, I love going.”

She didn’t need to tell me; I knew exactly how they were. I had never missed a single one when Tim and I were together. Tonight though, it wouldn’t be the brightest of ideas. I wasn’t going to have a good time while watching Tim with Bambi.

My heart had already broken, I didn’t need to burn all the pieces. “Sure,” Maggie replied, nudging my arm. “We would love to.” Apparently, she had different plans. Tim’s eyes met mine nervously. I wasn’t entirely certain of what he was trying to convey, but I could take an educated guess. He wanted me to come, he wanted me near him, but he wanted me to keep my mouth shut. “So, let’s go then.” Allison’s voice was unnaturally excited.

Excerpt from Burned OceanofPDF.com Prologue Two pink lines stared back at me from the small, white, plastic stick.

My hands trembled. My breathing was erratic as the shock of the truth took hold. My knees gave out, dropping me to the cold tile floor of the hotel bathroom. I was convinced that the feeling in my legs would never return. How had this happened? How was I supposed to tell him? Tim, my boyfriend of eight months, was consumed with his career. I guess being an up-and-coming musician had that effect on a person.

When he wasn’t drowning in his work, he was high on cocaine, a habit we both struggled with. How could I pull him away from his career? How could I stop using if I was living in his world? How could I ask him to give up his dream? For me? For this baby? An eternity passed before I could climb back to my feet, forcing myself out of the sterile, white bathroom.

I knew what I had to do; there wasn’t any other option. I had to put my plan into action, and fast.
