Page 106 of How to Be a Rockstar's Girlfriend

“I’m sorry, Gibson, but it’s not a good idea for you to speak with her now.” Indigo hangs up before I have a chance to argue with her.

I scream and launch the phone across the yard before falling to my knees. What am I going to do? Mercy is never going to forgive me for a drunken rant. Not with her history. She hates drunks and for good reason.

I’ve lost her. I’ve lost the best thing to ever happen to me in my life. Better than meeting my bandmates. Better than getting our first number one hit. Better than female fans throwing themselves at me.

None of that matters. Mercy does.

I need to win her back. I can’t live without her. But how?

There’s only one way I can think of to even have a remote chance of getting her back. I stand and march back into the house.

“What’s the plan?” I ask.

Jett grins. “I told you threatening to kick him out of the band would work.”

“Asshole, I don’t give a shit about the band. I need to win Mercy back.”

“There’s a private clinic about two hours away. They’re expecting you today. Fender will drive you,” Cash says.

“What about the band? And the publicity?”

Dylan snorts. “Mike is eating this shit up.”

Figures our manager would find a way to turn my visit to rehab into a marketing opportunity.

“You ready?” I ask Fender.

“Whenever you are.”

I motion to the door he’s still guarding. “Let’s go.”

“You don’t want to pack a bag?” Cash asks.

“I’m good.” I point to Jett. “Try not to get into too much trouble while I’m gone.”

He grins. “Who me?”

I say goodbye to Cash and Dylan and then it’s time to go.

Chapter 30

Unicorn’s tears – don’t exist since unicorns never cry unlike Mercy after getting her heart broken

Mercy

“Ouch!” I drop the wrench on the floor and lift my finger to my mouth to suck the blood before using my feet to roll myself out from under the engine.

This is not me. I don’t make stupid mistakes and cut myself while working on an engine. But my mind isn’t on rebuilding this classic V8 engine. I keep hearing Gibson calling me a bitch over and over again in my mind. I told him I loved him and he didn’t respond.

I hang my head. What was I thinking? Thinking I could be a rockstar’s girlfriend and not end up with my heart shattered. My relationship losing streak continues. Too bad there isn’t a prize for this streak.

My phone rings and I glance at the display. Gibson.

He’s lost his damn mind if he thinks I’m talking to him today. I already know everything he has to say. I didn’t mean it. I won’t drink again. It was a bad day. Yada yada yada. I’ve heard all of the excuses he can come up with. I’m not interested.

Virginia rushes in the garage with Indigo and Leia hot on her heels.

“I got it.” Virginia picks up my phone and answers, “This is Mercy’s phone.”
