"Holy shit," Ella gushes as we reach backstage. "You have your own dressing room!"

"Good," is all I manage to reply. I need time to myself.

I could feel Kade's gaze on me as we walked into the venue, ahead of the four of them. His eyes always, without fail, make themselves known to me.

Without looking behind at them, I push open the door with my name on it and let out a loud groan as I collapse onto the sofa.

Before I can have a moment to think about anything, the door opens again to reveal Theo with a guitar case. "Here's Kade's acoustic," he says before sighing when he looks at me. "Shit."

He lets the door close before perching on the coffee table directly in front of me. "Taysie, look, that picture is old. Like, four months old, at least."

I run my two hands down my face. I know it is. Ella explained everything to me earlier. As much as Kade is a jackass most of the time, he wouldn't do that. He's the most loyal person I've ever met in my short eighteen years.

I look across at Theo and sigh. "I know but it's just hit home that you guys are going to go up in the world. How many more of those pictures are lying around, just waiting for girls to bring them to light because they want to be with him?"

He lets out a soft laugh and shakes his head. "Stop thinking like that. Why does it matter that the world thinks of your relationship if you two are happy? Huh?"

And with that, he leaves the room, the door slowly shutting behind him. He's right. I hate that he's right because that means I'm wrong.

But I did mean what I told him. There are going to be so many more pictures and articles like those and I trust Kade and I know that he hasn't slept with anyone else since we met but it's still going to hurt every time I see an article about him being with someone that isn't met.

Eventually, he's going to move on and that's exactly what I'm going to have to endure. He deserves to move on with someone who's going to be close to him and be able to be there for him.
