Forever: A Seaside Novella (BOOK 3.5)
but to torture those you care about in order for them to get their shit together?
    Was I now that guy ?
    Impossible.
    Alec, lead singer of AD2. He was that guy. Demetri? He’d been hooked on drugs for years! I was the one who didn’t cause drama. Where the hell was my lawyer?
    “I don’t have to do it,” I said smugly. Wow. I may as well have stomped my foot and yelled, Y ou can’t make me!
    “You don’t. But Danny Erikson says if you can’t clean up your act, you’re out.”
    Don’t panic, don’t show fear . “I’m not sure I understand? Why would he care about my personal life?”
    Brett sighed. “Because the movie series is about young star-crossed lovers. It’s about the innocence of a first kiss.”
    I grunted and rolled my eyes. Who the hell cared?
    “My point exactly,” Brett said.
    “What?” I looked up at him.
    “When’s the last time you actually kissed a girl before going to the main course.”
    I grinned. “I kiss them plenty…”
    “Jaymeson…”
    Aw, shit. He was using the voice. You know, the one parents magically know how to use when they’re trying to make you feel guilty as hell.
    “You want this movie series? The one they say is gonna be bigger than Twilight? You have to clean up the image. I’m not kidding and neither is Danny. This is your one and only chance. I won’t make you do anything. You’re a twenty-two year old adult. You make the choice.”
    I hated it when they pulled the adult card. Freaking hated it.
    The clock ticked in the background as if counting down to my doom. With a curse I rose from my seat and held out my hand. “Where’s my damn ticket?”

Author Note:
    I have to be completely honest. I am so ridiculously emotionally attached to these characters that it’s entirely possible I may need therapy after I finish this series. I feel like they’re real. I visit Seaside, Oregon and look for Demetri. Last time I was in the lovely city, my husband was like, “Um, babe? Those characters are in your head. You know that, right?”
    My response? Firm head nod as I still search the promenade for my rocker duo.
    I’m so thankful to God for blessing me with the most amazing job in the world. I wake up with a smile on my face and can’t wait to dive into another story. He is the reason I’m able to do anything at all.
    Second, I just have to say a huge thanks to the readers. You guys are amazing! I love how you’ve embraced these characters as your own!
    The crew at Grand Central Publishing. You rock my world. Thanks for letting me be a hybrid author and supporting every project I do! I’ve never met such an amazing publishing team and am in constant awe of your publishing house.
    Laura Heritage, as always brilliant cover art and editing. Julie Sherwood, thanks for talking me from the cliff when I sent this to you and said HELP! Beta reader Liza ;) Love you!
    And husband… I’m sorry that I make you sit and listen to me talk about my characters. But you’re such a good listener and you inspire me so much ;)
    As always if you loved it or hated it, reviews are always welcome! To follow my author journey hit me up at www.rachelvandykeanuthor.com
