I'm sorry," Ms. Tessa said sincerely.

"Don't be. You've done nothing wrong. Honestly... getting to know you has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me."

And meeting the guys in the Avery band-those brothers who shared his passion- was the greatest stroke of luck in his life.

There weren't many people in the world like him.

He'd spent the past few years doing something he truly loved. And he'd done it well.noveldrama

"Yeah."

"But let's not tell the others about any of this. I don't want them to worry." He knew his departure was inevitable. "Once I'm gone... maybe you could find a new lead singer."

A dull ache stirred in Ms. Tessa's chest.

Even now, he was thinking of everyone else.

That was just who he was-on the surface cool and aloof, but deeply caring about the people he held close.

"Do you really think that'll be a problem with me around?"

"Maybe... you could become the Avery band's new lead singer. That would be the best possible ending." Avery's voice was earnest.

Ms. Tessa had the heart and soul of rock and roll.

The fact that she was a woman didn't make a bit of difference.

"Avery, you know I'm not the kind of person who wants to go public." She really liked the life she had now. Yes, she loved music-but not in the way Avery/did. He lived it. Breathed it. Built his whole career around it.

"That's fine. There's no rush. I still have over twenty days left with you all-just think about it, okay?"

He didn't want to pressure her.

"Alright, enough talk. I'm heading to rehearsal. This concert really matters to me-

it'll be the first time all six of us perform together."

He'd looked forward to this for so long.

After Avery left, Ms. Tessa remained standing there, frozen.

Lead singer of the Avery band?

Could she do it?

She still had so much to take care of...

Tessa! Why are you spacing out?"

Ysabel came bouncing in and waved a hand in front of her face.

Ms. Tessa snapped back to the present and smiled at her. "Your training's done for the day?"

"Just a break!" Ysabel said, proudly holding up a letter. "Look-1 got my acceptance from Navoris University! Tessa, I bet you got a whole bunch too. Have you decided where you're going?"

Ms. Tessa pressed her lips together for a moment. Then she answered, "At first, I wanted to go to Navoris. But after thinking it over... I've decided not to."

Even though it was the best university in the country, and everyone dreamed of getting in-

She felt there wasn't much left for her to learn there.

"What? You're not going?" Ysabel was stunned. She'd hoped they could still be together.

"Then where are you going?"

"Medical school. It's right next to Navoris."

"Oh! That's not bad! At least we'll still be close. If I miss you, I can just walk over." Ysabel just didn't want to be far from her.

"You're an artist under TS now. We'll see each other there all the time, you know?"

"But I want to see you at school too!" And walking to class together sounded pretty perfect.

"Alright. If it makes you happy, that's all that matters."

"I wish you weren't so cold about it, Tessa. At least act a little excited. You're

making me look completely one-sided over here!"

"It makes me really happy that we'll be neighbors. Satisfied?"

"Very!"

When it came to Tessa, there wasn't a single thing to complain about. No matter what she did, she was her idol.

"I mean it, Tessa-you should debut. You're incredible on stage. Absolutely magnetic."

If she debuted, she'd have fans of every gender wrapped around her finger.

"Alright, enough. End of discussion. Break's o

Go back to training."

Being an artist under someone else's management really did mean giving up your rights.

"Okay, okay, boss! Don't worry. I'll train hard. I promise!"
