cigarette. Carter turned to him and pulled it out of his mouth and stomped it on the ground. He grabbed Tommy's shirt again and threw him back against the wall. His blue eyes searing into Tommy's and his ragged breath in his face.
"You listen right here you fuck up. I will not go through this again with you. I will not go through you missing for days, or not eating or sleeping cause of an all-night coke binge, or you missing rehearsals, or me changing your sheets from your bloody noses or you pissing yourself. I sat with you for 4 days straight while you detoxed in Casey's house, throwing up and destroying things in your path. I didn't sleep for all those days so I could keep an eye on your sorry ass. You fuck up this time don't come crying to me. I can only babysit for so long. Your my brother but I need to focus on other things in my life, Lingetti. I've been your babysitter since the 9th grade. I'm fucking over it."
"Christ Lond, it was just one line. Don't have a coronary man."
"I'm ok with the weed Tommy cause I'm guilty of smoking it too, but this?" He motioned to the counter near the sink and the rolled up dollar bill that sat on top of it.
"This here is bullshit. I'm not going to stand by and watch you kill yourself this time. Got me?"
He let go of his shirt and stormed out of the bathroom. He started to make his way back to the cabana area when he saw Jordan and Casey slow dancing on the sandy dance floor. They were wrapped in each others arms and their foreheads were pressed together. Both of their eyes were closed and their bodies swayed slower than the tempo of the music. They looked like they were in love and the sight of made Carter's eyes sting. He needed to walk away. He turned and went to the bar behind the cabana. He needed a distraction.
He ordered a beer and while he was waiting for it a blast from his past came to his side.
"Well hello there, Mr. London? Back in town, I see."
Carter looked to his side and there stood Ashby Evans. Tall, tan, blonde, and built. Her tight white corset top left little to the imagination and her big pouty red lips looked ready to be sucked on. She was Carter's go-to girl when Luminosity was just starting out. She was kind of his groupie without actually being on the road with him. She started following the band back during their senior year and was always there at Carter's beck and call. She was his distraction but that's all she was. A warm body to put Casey out of his mind temporarily. It was just a fix. An itch she could scratch. That was all. A good lay. It was just fucking although Ashby always hoped for more. Carter shot her a sideways grin and turned to face her.
"Hello there, Ashby Evans. Been a long time." He licked his lips seductively.
She stroked her fingers down his muscular arm and moved slightly closer to him. Her voice was deep and breathy.
"Yes, it has been. You look good enough to eat there, rock star." She darted the tip of her tongue out to tease him and it grazed her top lip. "Want to get out of here and go some place where we can catch up?" She reached behind him and cupped his ass. He stared down at her. More focused on her breasts spilling out of her shirt. He looked back up from her chest and gave her a slight smile.
"Let's go."
Carter and Ashby walked away from the bar arm in arm towards the cabanas.
"Ashby, I just need to tell Casey that I'm leaving."
"Seriously, Carter, she's not your mom. Do you need to report to her?" she said annoyed.
"I'm staying at her house for the next month Ashby. I owe it to her to tell her I'm leaving so don't get all smart ass on me."
"Fine. Let's just hurry. It's been a long time since I've had a piece of you and I'm starved."
They made their way back to the cabana where the rest of the group was. Casey was sitting on Jordan's lap talking to Lyla.
"Car, where have you..." Casey paused when she saw Ashby with her arm linked in Carter's.
"Ashby, nice to see you," she said politely.
"Casey. How are you?"
"You listen right here you fuck up. I will not go through this again with you. I will not go through you missing for days, or not eating or sleeping cause of an all-night coke binge, or you missing rehearsals, or me changing your sheets from your bloody noses or you pissing yourself.
