Everything Sucks (Book 2 of It's Not Over)

May Day

I lay across the couch watching tv with De and Logan. Roman and Remus were spending the day with their mothers before we went on our next tour. I was glad to be back home. I loved my dad, but living with my band members was more preferable. They didn't worry about me as much about me. They trusted me to handle myself and to go to Logan or Roman if I couldn't. It was nice.

We were halfway through The Other Guys when Logan's phone rang. De paused the movie and Logan excused himself to take the call.

After about thirty minutes we got bored and started playing a video game while we waited for him to finish his call. When Logan finally came out of his room we thought it was to complain about us being to loud as we had started to get a bit rowdy while playing the game.

"Sorry, Lo. Were we being too loud?" De paused the game and looked over at our roommate. I looked over towards him as well.

Logan shook his head and sat between us again, not saying anything. I gave him a concerned look and gently nudged him with my shoulder.

"You okay?"

"I am feeling adequate, " his voice was soft and a little unsure, but I didn't press it.

De tossed him a controller and we restarted the game.

"I'm kinda worried about him, Ro."

Roman and I were in our room packing our bags, getting ready for our tour in three days. Well, more like I was repacking my bags and Roman was just watching me.

"He's probably just been focusing on his school work. He's taking a full course load this semester."

"You're right. I'm probably worrying about nothing."

"Speaking of courses, how are your classes going?"

"Since I'm only taking one to two classes at a time in doing pretty well."

"That's good, " Roman kissed my cheek and set something in my hand. "Don't overwork yourself, handsome. I'm gonna go see what everyone wants for dinner."

I nodded and watched him leave the room. Once the door was closed I opened my hand and smiled when I saw my engagement ring in my hand. Slipping it back on to my finger I finished packing my bags then made my way downstairs.

I plopped down on the couch between De and Logan and watched as they played Mortal Kombat. "Who's winning?"

"Logan, he's in the zone tonight." De chuckled as he did his best to beat the lead guitarist.

I glanced over at Logan and noticed a slightly vacant look on his face. I frowned in concern and opened my mouth to ask if he was okay, but was cut off by Roman.

"You plebs okay with Chinese for dinner?"

"Yeah, " De replied.

"Sure, " I replied.

"I'm not hungry, " Logan stood up and made his way to his room.

He's just stressing. I reminded myself. He's doing school and he's a musician. He's got a lot on his plate.
