called A Star Is Born. A run on the treadmill sounds appropriate.

Even the sex has started going downhill.

We could look elsewhere. I was starting to, before the plane crash.

No. Forget I said anything. LydiaтАЩs just moody; thatтАЩs part of what makes her
who she is. It would be stupid of me to mess up a good thing.

IsnтАЩt that what youтАЩre supposed to be doing?

I donтАЩt know. Are we talking about Willie or Christopher? According to CCA,
Willie is here to give Lydia someone to break up with, but Christopher ought to be
here because he cares about her. So which one am I?

You are Christopher.

All right, then. We canтАЩt just let things go on like this, so letтАЩs try something.
Lydia hasnтАЩt picked up a guitar since I came back, and neither have I. Maybe if she
and I played together тАФ

SheтАЩs too critical of other guitar players. We donтАЩt like being humiliated.

In front of whom?

Ourselves. And the people behind the walls.

But CCAтАЩs already agreed to put out my album. They already know IтАЩm
good. What difference will it make if Lydia and I play a few tunes together?

CCA is putting out an album by Willie Todd. You are Christopher.

I donтАЩt care.

So I hop off the treadmill, and as I start to leave the gym, Lydia appears in the
doorway. SheтАЩs wearing the same gray sweats she wore yesterday and the day
before. Her skin is blotchy, and she looks strung out. It occurs to me that she might
be taking drugs.

Of course she is. When things donтАЩt go her way, she takes something. Or
breaks something.

тАЬIтАЩm going to kill myself,тАЭ Lydia says. Her voice is a monotone.

Oh shit.
 DonтАЩt worry. This is old news. She craves drama, and if she doesnтАЩt get it,
she invents it. Ignore her.

SheтАЩs threatening suicide. IтАЩm not going to ignore that.
