Okay, sorry for the wait...


Through his eyes...

Chapter 28

I missed last night, I won't miss tonight. Mason smiles as I walk up to him. "All your fan-girls missed you last night, dude."

"Can't be helped, I had to... deal with some shit."

I know she's here; I parked next to her car.

I see her at the bar... with the ex...

"Hey D... Missed you last night." Eddie says.

She doesn't turn around, but he does.

"Yeah, had to deal with a problem but it's all fixed now."

"Cool... Beer?" He asks. I nod as I take the stool next to him...

I glance past him to say hello to Rose but before I can say the words; I see her hand. It's all banged up.

"Hey Rose... Don't you wear gloves in training?"

Her head turns in my direction but she doesn't look up. "I forgot..." I look closer... Something's not right. I look at him... He seems smug. I can't see any marks on his face, but it's dark. "I'm just going to the ladies room."

I watch as she leaves and then take a drink of my beer. "I didn't know my Rose could sing." He says... How could he not? Hang on... 'My Rose?' I glance up to where the restrooms are and she's looking at me over her shoulder... Even at this distance and in this light, I can see how sad her eyes are.

"She's really good." I say before looking back to Eddie. "Hey Ed, is Emil around?"

"He's backstage I think."

I nod before standing up. "I'll talk to you soon." I say to him. I make my way towards the stage and glance towards the restrooms again. She's not there. Now I have to think of something to ask Emil. I walk behind the curtain and look around... he's not here.

But she is...
