Jade had somehow managed to avoid Randy before, after and during shows for the last month. She had been having a blast with her brother, and had pushed Randy to the back of her mind. She ignored the evil stares from him back stage.

"So, it's been a month and I haven't noticed this guy you had told me about." Husky said as they headed to the arena.

"Yeah, I think we kinda called things off." Jade said.

"Really? So do I get to know who this mystery man was?"

"No."

"Come on Jade. It's been killing me."

"No, Husky. Never." She said, wishing she hadn't seen the hurt on his face. She shifted her weight in the passenger seat and turned towards him.
"Listen, things were very complicated with us. We were never a couple, and were never planning on being a couple."

"You can't tell me that things went on with you two for over a year, and no feelings ever developed." Husky said.
"That's impossible for a woman, a man, hell, anyone."

"It's not impossible."

"I just don't believe it." Husky said, as he pulled into the parking garage of the arena.

"He's married." Jade said, turning to look out the window.

"MARRIED?" Husky almost plowed into the car he was parking next to.
"What's wrong with you? Why would you try to destroy a marriage?"

"I wasn't trying to destroy it. I told you, it was sex, that was it. No emotions, no feelings, no love." Jade said, stepping out of the car, and grabbing her bags from the back.
"Not everyone is as lucky as you, and is married to their soul mate. The road gets lonely, and I for one, was happy to have someone around to fill that void. Married or not." With that she turned and stormed away.
Husky knew his twin sister too well. He knew better than to go after her. When she was ready, she'd come and talk to him.

"It's about time you lost your shadow." Randy's voice sounded in her ear.

"I didn't do it for you." Jade said, stepping away from him.
"I have a lot to do. I don't have time for you right now Randy."

"That seems to be how it's been for the last month. No time." He said, jerking her bag out of her hands and throwing it across the room. He shoved her into the wall. Before she realized what was happening, he had his hand around her neck.
"I told you last time, I decide when and where. I have let you get away with avoiding me, but it stops tonight."

"Quit, Randy. Let me go." She cried as fear ran through her entire body.

"I will let you go, when I'm ready too." He leaned into her and pressed his lips to hers.
"You are mine, Jaden." He smirked.
"I'll see you later tonight." With that he let her go and walked out of the room.

"Alright, time to find something on." Husky said, kicking his feet up on the bed, leaning against the propped up pillows.
Just as he turned the tv on, Jade's phone buzzed.

-lose him now

The text read. She didn't ever have to see the number to know who it was from.

-can't. we room together.

She hoped that would work and Randy would leave her alone.

-find a way to leave the room.
-I'm starting to get angry, believe me, you won't like me angry.

Jade racked her brain for an excuse to get out of this situation.

-NOW!

That was all she needed to see. She jumped up and slipped her shoes on.

"Going somewhere?" Husky asked, yawning.

"I'm going to take a walk." She forced a soft smile.
"I'm too wired to sleep."

"Don't be long, I don't know if I'll be able to stay up to let you back in."

"I got a key card. Get some rest. Don't bother waiting up." Jade said, pulling the door shut, only to turn around and run straight into Seth.
"I'm sorry." She breathed.

"You ok?" He asked. His hands had grabbed onto her upper arms as an attempt to steady her, but she was perfectly balanced and he still hadn't moved them.

"I'm good." She smiled.
"I was talking to Husky, I wasn't paying attention."

"No, it's ok, as long as you're good." He mimicked her smile.
"So, what are you doing out at this time of night, alone?"

"Taking a walk." She said, might as well stick with the same excuse.

"You want some company?" He asked.
"I was doing the same. Couldn't sleep."

"Yeah me either." She said.
"I'd love some company." She sent a sly smirk at Randy who had just stepped around the corner.
Seth placed his hand on her lower back. As they started walking Jaden's phone went off. She looked at the number, seeing it was Randy's, and pushed her phone in her back pocket.

"Do you need to get that?" Seth asked.

"Nah, it's no one important." She smiled, as he held the door open for her, and they walked out into the warm night air.
