Her Country Star Cowboy First Love: Sweet First Love and Second Chance Romance (Solid Gold Summerville Ranch Billionaire Romances Book 1)
Page 12
Shay focused on the mirror that hung above a dressing room table stuffed with makeup and toiletries to use before a concert. The mirror hung crookedly on the wall, and the reflection looking back at him was sweaty and a bit haggard. He laughed, hard enough to make him wheeze. Finally, here was a reflection of the way he actually felt. Off-kilter. Not like the huge banners and posters and the airbrushed pictures for Instagram, Facebook, and other social media accounts.
Again, he thought of Kurt’s post. My true love and I …
He slammed his fist into the side of the couch. Bull! Kurt was not her true love. No way. But the cold, hard fact was that he couldn’t do the thing he wanted to do—quit it all.
No. His family had worked too hard for that. He’d worked hard too, given everything. He would keep it together for them. One foot in front of the other. One day at a time. One vision at a time.
The past year his sister, Shar, had dragged him to work with a succession of therapists, and the latest one had suggested thought replacement. It involved taking one group of thoughts that led you down a bad path and replacing them with good thoughts that made you happy.
He scoffed. Happiness wasn’t possible. Still, he had to be functional. He put on a smile and his face felt rubbery. Was that how he looked to the rest of the world—rubbery, fake, as phony as he felt?
He moved to the door as it suddenly flew open.
“Oh my gosh.” His sister Shar looked like she’d seen a ghost.
“What’s wrong?”
Slowly, she brought her hands down from her face and stared at him. “Liam didn’t want me to tell you, but … Wow, this is bad.”
“Spit it out,” he said, growing angrier as his mind spun with dark possibilities. “Is it Mom or Dad?”
“No, they’re fine. I spoke with them last night.”
“What?” he demanded. “Just tell me, Shar.”
“She’s here, Shay.” Shar swallowed. “Jaycee is backstage, and she’s asking to see you.”
