The Debt 7 (Club Alpha) (12 page)

“I’m probably just tired,” Raven said,
her voice quivering, as the enormity of what she’d just done hit her full
force.

If this backfired, it might end their
relationship.

Oh
God, Raven.
 
What is wrong with you?

Jake continued drinking his juice,
sighing contentedly and wiping his chin with the back of his hand when he was
done.
 
“I’m wiped out myself,” he
told her.
 
“I just feel exhausted,
but in a good way.
 
Like I can finally
close that chapter of my life and move on.”

She nodded, not responding out of fear
she might give something away.
 
If
he truly wanted to just move on from being a musician, she’d certainly put an
end to that when she’d uploaded his new song to YouTube.
 

Whether everyone loved it or hated it, he
was going to have his new song heard by millions of people.

It began dawning on her that what she’d
done just might be unforgiveable.
 
She’d
put out his music, his most personal song, without so much as asking him.
 
Just minutes ago it had seemed like such
a good idea, a way to renew his career without going through the traditional
channels.

But now she saw her impulsive meddling
for what it early was.
 
It was a
betrayal.

Jake was walking toward her, smiling.
 
“You’re amazing,” he said, his eyes so
bright and happy and joyful that she didn’t have the heart to tell him the
truth.

I’m
not amazing
, she thought
.
 
And soon, you’re going to hate me for what I’ve done.
