Teresa: It had been a little over a week since I had ran from J's flat. I hadn't done anything with the group at all besides work. Any time anyone brought up Scott or Emma I made up some lame excuse to get away. "Paul's calling me" or "I'm needed over there" then I'd just walk off. The only time I stayed long enough to let them say something after my lame excuse was when Nikki sidled over to me and whispered "What's Emma here for? I thought there was No Dogs Allowed in this building" I was happy that my friend thought about as much of little miss tramp as I did. After I replied with."Well it showed up on the door step looking like it hadn't eaten in years and had been hit by a car so I guess someone pitied it and let it in" Nik and I laughed, first time I'd laughed is forever. But then Nik asked me what was wrong with me lately so I had to make up a lame excuse and book it to anywhere but in that conversation. At the moment I was standing in a corner just watching the lads practice. The music stopped and Paul was quite pleased. "Great! Perfect! This tour will be exellent!" The guys just sort of nodded. "Speaking of the tour, we need to discuss who's coming, besides you five of course. Let's see, well Teresa will need to babysit you of course so she'll be there" The lads chuckled but I continued to stare into space form my corner. "Well I'm bringing my sunshine here" Abs said wrapping his arms around Whitney and giving her a passionate looking kiss. "Oh-kay. You don't have to seal everything with a kiss Abs haha-" Paul laughed at his own joke but stopped when he realized no one else found it humorous. He cleared his throat, embarrassed, "So, Um Will Nikki be joining us?" he said abrubtly changing the subject. "Course she is. I'm not leaving my baby for that long" Ritchie said. Nikki grinned at him and gave him a kiss. "Well that should do then. Teresa, Nikki, Whitney, the dancers of course so-" "Hold on a second" Scott interupted him. Paul sighed "Yes Scott, we we can order a pizza," He turned to me "Yeah for you too Teresa, you two just wait a minute will you?" Paul said, exasperated. He was oblivious to the fact that Scott and I had barely said 3 words to eachother. "No Paul that's not it. I'll be bringing Emma on tour" There was a silence in the room. For a second I stood shocked like the others, but I was soon back into reality. He had known her barely more than a week! I can't believe I'm going to have to see that slut everyday! I wanted to storm out right then, but I knew it would be too obvious. J seemed to read my mind "Hey Teresa didn't you say that were going to have to live rehearsal early because they need you down in promotions?" I breathed a sigh. "Yes, thanks for reminding me J, I was suppose to be down there 20 minutes ago" As I was leaving I mouthed "Thank You" to J, and he just nodded.
J: What was Scott doing? He was being so unlike him. Scott was a hopeless romantic kind of guy. Not the type of guy who invites a girl that he's known for about a week to accompany us on tour. Plus, he hadn't said much to Teresa lately at all. They were best friends for God's sake. Although I doubt Teresa would've allowed him to speak more than 2 words to her. I couldnt blame her. She was completely heartbroken. |
