| (2 weeks later) ~RING-RING-RING-RING~ I waited for Jessica to pick up. "Come on pick up" "Hello?" I heard Jess pick up out of breath "Hey, it's me" I answered confused "Hey, how's the tour so far?" She asked "It's good I guess" I replied. I wasn't in the best mood, and I guess she picked up on it "What's wrong?" "Nothing, just had a fight with Frankie." I answered truthfully. Before I called her, I was joking around with Greg and the guys about how fake Britney Spears was, so Greg pinned me and made me say that she was the HOTTEST girl on the face of the earth. Frankie came in and started yelling at Greg. I wasn't sure why, so when I said that we were just playing he said that he doesn't want me to 'flirt' with his friends. "Again? Why what happened?" She asked knowing that me and him had been arguing a lot lately "Oh he yelled at Greg for some reason. Then he started yelling at me and told me that I wasn't allowed to date any of his friends" I replied. She laughed "I really don't know what was funny about what I just said" I replied annoyed "Don't you see it? Frankie knows that you like Greg" She said in between laughs "How can Frankie know, when I'm not sure myself" I said. I talked to Jess couple of days ago and told her about the kiss on the beach. I also said that I might like him, but wasn't final or anything. "Trust me you like him. I can tell, cause whenever you talk about him you sound so happy. And from what you tell me, it seems like he likes you too" She said as a matter-of-factly. "You ARE forgetting that he told me he didn't like me like that" I replied "NO I'm not, I'm just telling you what I think" She said in an "I know what I'm talking about' tone. "Yeah, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later" I said "K, but think about this. Bye" She replied as we both hung up. It was pretty late when I called her, but I wasn't tried. I decided to go in the back room and watch a DVD. I found "The Fast and the Furious" and put in the DVD player. The movie was halfway through when I felt someone put a blanket over me. I guess I had my eyes closed when the person came in, and they thought that I was asleep. I looked opened my eyes and I saw Greg going over to the TV to shut it off. "Hey I was watching that" I said from my spot. "I thought you were a sleep" He said smiling and walking over to the leather seat. ~Gregs POV~ I was in my bunk thinking what just happened. Emily and Frankie got in a fight AGAIN. That's 3 times this week. What is going on? It looked like they were getting along, that is till tonight. What did he think we were doing? Then he started yelling at her. She sure doesn't need someone to fight her battles. After Frankie said she wasn't allowed to date any one of his friends, she went off on him. When I say off, I mean she started calling him every name in the book. She would have punched him if Chris and Jesse didn't hold her. I got up and headed to the bathroom, but saw a light coming from the back room. I opened the door, to see Emily sleeping while "The Fast and The Furious" was playing. It was pretty cold, so I took one of the blankets from the compartment and threw it over her small body. She was tall, but she had her legs up to her chest so she looked half her size. I walked over to the DVD player to turn it off when she spoke up. "Hey I was watching that" She said from her spot "I thought you were a sleep" I said smiling and walking over to the leather seat. "Nah, I just closed my eyes for a second" She replied. I sat down so that I was leaning over her. "I'm sorry about earlier" She said and looked up. I don't know why, but she looked different. Wait, I can't like her, Frankie would flip. On the other hand, it's not like I can do anything the way I feel towards her "Don't be, it wasn't your fault" I replied truthfully "I've been thinking, and I think I might be leaving a little early" She said sadly. I couldn't believe she was saying this. "What do you mean?" I asked trying to see if she was serious "I have 3 more weeks, but me and Frankie have been arguing a lot lately. It's getting in the way of his performance and I don't wanna get in the way of him or any one of you" She replied. "Listen. Me and the guys love having you around. You fun and you keep us grounded. As for Frankie, I'm sure he still wants you around. You can't leave who's gonna make fun of Chris and his hair, or steal my CD's" I said and she smiled "Yeah, I'll think about it" She said as I got up "Can you stay and watch the rest of the movie with me?" She asked "Sure" I answered as I turned and went back to where she was laying. I sat in the corner of the leather couch and she placed her head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and started watching the movie. About five minutes later I looked down to see her fast asleep. She looked so peaceful that I didn't have the heart to wake her. I noticed that our fingers were entwined, so I just pulled her closer and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. It was funny that something as a simple kiss could make me smile, but I guess I really did like her. I feel asleep with her in my arms, but every once in a while I would wake up just to make sure she was still there. |
