Synopsis: Don’t let my petite and innocent appearance fool you, because I’m one person you don’t want to cross. I’m Micah, the youngest member of Resurrection…If only they knew how young. My fake ID says I’m twenty-one.
And I will be…in four years.
What can I say? I blossomed early. Home sucked, so I left, determined to do something with my life.
Landing the gig as lead vocalist in the band was a dream come true. I’ve worked hard to make something of myself and nothing is going to ruin that for me.
Then He showed up.
He’s hot as hell and so into me. But he’s also twenty-five.
I don’t want to lie to him, but if the truth comes out I’ll lose everything, including him.

He reached into his pocket and pulled
out his ipod. “Put on some music if you like.”
I took it, letting my fingers glide
over his. His eyes darted toward me briefly and my heart jumped. I
quickly looked down, busying myself with his music collection. I ran
through artists until I came across Severed. Smiling, I clicked play.
“You have your own music in here,”
I said with a giggle.
He shrugged. “If I don’t appreciate
it, then why should I expect anyone else to?”
“I guess. I just think it’s cute.
Like an actor going to see themselves at the cinema.”
“You don’t think Nic Cage or Brad
Pitt go to the movies?” he asked in mock horror.
“I don’t know. I met Brad Pitt once
in Starbucks.”
He chuckled. “I can just imagine how
that went down.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” I
asked, narrowing my eyes.
“Well, you were kind of freaked out
when you realized who I was. Meeting someone actually famous? You’d
lose the plot,” he laughed.
“Well, in my defense, I didn’t have
posters of Brad Pitt all over my walls—” I shut my mouth, but it
was too late. No, no, no…
“You had posters of me on your
walls?” he repeated, amused. “Micah, that is adorable.”
“Shut up,” I mumbled, coving my
face with my hands. He chuckled loudly next to me, clearly not ready
to let this go. “No! No laughing. Just shut up and drive.”
