instruments. Guitars, amps, keyboards, a piano. She was in a
storage room of instruments. Jessica didn’t need to ask Slader if they were
his, she just knew.
    Slader walked to the piano and sat
down. His hands went to work. He played, a sad sounding melody softly that
pierced Jessica right at her heart.
    “You see, Jessica,” Slader said.
“It’s about the heart. It’s always about the heart. That’s why sometimes we
wonder what people are doing together. They say some kind of nonsense about
attracting the opposite. That’s not it at all. It’s about heart.”
    Slader turned. The notes died
quickly. He stared at Jessica and her excitement grew. Seconds passed, and then
Slader finally stood. He walked to Jessica without the care of his body. As he
stood in front of her, he was dominating. She was eye level with his pants and
she struggled to keep her eyes looking up at his.
    With one hand, Slader reached down
and placed his hand to Jessica’s chest. She sighed at the feel of his touch.
    “Your heart is racing,” Slader
said.
    “You’re touching me.”
    “You’re afraid. Of me...”
    Slader took his hand away and
looked at it. A distant look came over his face. Jessica had seen the look
before but still didn’t understand what it meant. There was pain inside Slader
and Jessica wanted to understand it and she wanted to help him.
    Slowly, Slader made a fist and
started to shake his hand. “She’s afraid of me. I’ve given her fear instead of
hope. Instead of trust.”
    “No, Slader.”
    Slader turned. Jessica tried to
move but the handcuffs hit the chair and she groaned. She was trapped under
Slader’s command, even if he did nothing.
    Once at the door, Slader stopped.
He wasn’t going to leave. Instead he swung at the wall, putting his fist into
it. The wall cracked and had the imprints of Slader’s knuckles in it.
    “I trust you,” Jessica. “Slader, I
trust you with my life.”
    “Then why are you afraid?” Slader
asked.
    Standing with his face to Jessica
made him look twice as big. His shoulders were a mile wide, the muscles along
his back pressing against his shirt. Jessica wanted to touch those bare muscles.
    “I didn’t expect this,” Jessica
admitted.
    “That’s part of life,” Slader said.
“You think I expected everything? When everything was taken from me? Yet, it
came back, Jessica, it came back...”
    Slader stepped towards Jessica and
he touched her face. His eyes were different. Their color brighter. Jessica
wondered what exactly was running through the billionaire rockstar’s mind.
    His right hand cupped her cheek and
his left hand went to the back of her neck.
    “We’re going to leave,” Slader
said. “It’s time.”
    “What about my story?”
    Slader laughed. “You still send
that guy stories?”
    “He promotes it that I’m on the
road with you.”
    “Does he now...”
    Slader nodded and Jessica could see
his wheels turning.
    “I have an idea. We’re going to
send our friend, Mr. Plink, one more story.”
    “Okay...”
    “The title? Goodbye . The text? Goodbye .”
    “Goodbye?”
    “Jessica, you don’t need anything
or anyone else but me. I’ll prove that to you. You can’t slip away. That’s what
happened before. Everyone wants what the best has, but the best already has it
and must protect it.”
    Jessica opened her mouth to ask
Slader why he spoke like Jessica was someone else, but before the air could
escape her mouth, Slader leaned down and took the handcuffs on her wrists. He
moved fast and when Jessica heard the cuffs hit the floor she didn’t move her
hands. Slader grabbed her wrists and pulled her, commanding her to stand.
Jessica stood and stared at Slader.
    “Come,” he whispered. “This show is
done. There’s nothing left for me to offer the fans here. It’s up to them to
savor my words and become the desire they need again.”
    Jessica licked her lips and for a
split second, she pictured herself whispering I
love you to
Slader, but the
