"The words don't need to be written by me. It's fine as long as I can understand the meaning behind them. The guys and I have worked together for a long time. When I read the words they've written, I can feel the truth of their feelings in my heart."
It was such a poetic thing to say. It was also the most I'd heard Noah speak. His gravelly voice sounded as erotic in person as it did on stage.
"Cameron mentioned before the interview each member wrote a song themselves. August, did you find it difficult to write lyrics?" Tonya continued. "You're mainly the composer, yes?"
"Lyrics aren't my strong point," August admitted. "It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to say."
"And what is that, exactly?" Tonya pressed.
"You'll find out when the album is released."
"Fair enough. Cameron, what about you?"
"Writing my own song was so much fun. Although August made me take out all the really dirty words, that jerk. He wouldn't even let me say fuc—"
Noah clamped a hand over Cameron's mouth.
"Remember boys, weareon public radio."
"And then we've got The Twins," Cameron continued. "Their song rocks."
"You two wrote your song together?" Tonya asked.
"We did," Ian answered, leaning forward into the microphone. "My brother and I wrote these awesome dueling guitar solos. The fans are gonna go crazy over it."
"I thought each of you worked on a single song yourselves," Tonya asked.
"The Twins are basically one person anyway," Cameron said.
Ian froze, his shoulders tensing up.
"Why didn't you each write your own song?" Tonya asked.
"Damianwrote the song," Damon said.
"That's what we call those two." Cameron jerked a thumb at both of them. "Damon and Ian."
"And which one is which?" Tonya asked.
"Doesn't matter." Damon chuckled. "Like Cam said, we're practically the same person."
Ian turned away. His eyes almost met mine through the mirror again before they flicked away, a pained expression on his face.
A beep sounded in the room and Tonya glanced at the clock quickly. "It looks like it's time for a commercial break. We'll be back in a few minutes with more questions for Darkest Days." Tonya took off her headset and shook out her hair. "Great job so far. You've got a few minutes."
The guys got up from their seats and stretched their limbs. Ian made a beeline for the door. It caught my attention, but no one else noticed. Damon was distracted by Cameron making a wisecrack, joining in with the laughter.
I got the urge to follow him, but stopped myself. So what if Ian was upset? So what if no one else noticed? It wasn't my business anymore. Whatever it was, he could handle it himself.
But Damon and Ian's voice kept echoing in my ears.
We did everything we could to keep it a secret.
She won't find out!
Worry filled my chest. I remembered what I'd asked him that night at his apartment, before I'd broken it off.
Has Damon helped you through stuff?
