Loosen Up

By J.M. Snyder

Between course work, an internship, clinicals, and a part-time job, med student Liam Martin is worn out. When his lab is cancelled, freeing up his Friday night, all he wants to do is crash.

Liam's roommates have other plans. They think Liam is too stressed and needs to loosen up ... as in going out to party, not staying home to rest. Adam scores coveted tickets to a concert by local alt band Ebola Rain and uses his connections to get backstage.

But Liam doesn't want to go, and manages to lose his roommates backstage by hiding out in one of the dressing rooms, where he promptly falls asleep. Little does Liam know the room belongs to Cooper Dawson, sexy frontman for the band, who also thinks Liam needs to loosen up.

Then Cooper asks Liam to hang out with him, and suddenly Liam isn’t so tired anymore.

Loosen Up

Brody Stockton knocked on the closed door to his roommate’s room. Liam?

There was no answer.

He knocked again, worried. The past few weeks, Liam Martin had seemed to be slipping further and further into himself, spending his days hitting the books or rushing off to class, his nights interning at the Henrico Doctor’s Hospital emergency room. This was Liam’s last year of medical school, but he never seemed to let loose, have any fun. Brody shared the house with two other students—Liam and Adam Corsica—and of the three of them, only Liam seemed overwhelmed. With his internship, with clinicals, with his course load, not to mention the part-time job he had running a short-order grill at Patterson Deli on weekends. The guy never slowed down!
