Tiffany walked to the back of the rehearsal stage
where the radio was and pulled her tapes from her
duffle bag. She didn’t expect anyone for another hour
so she decided to she’d dance until they got there.
Dancing always cleared her mind. She didn’t go back
to Caitlyn’s because she couldn’t stand the sight of
Emily without feeling guilty, she didn’t know if she
could ever look her in the eyes again, but for some
odd reason she didn’t seem to care much because she
was going to continue on with Justin. It felt right.
She didn’t want to think about it though. The tour
starts tonight and the first show is tomorrow she had
a lot to think about and not enough time to do it.
She put a tape in and began to dance. She was quickly
interrupted buy the sight of Caitlyn’s figure standing
on the side of the stage.
“You know Tiff, you should have been a dancer.”
Caitlyn said pulling her auburn hair back as she
entered onto the stage.
“What are you doing here?” Tiffany asked as she walked
over to the radio to switch off her music.
“Why didn’t you come back last night?” Caitlyn asked
as she sat herself down on the couch that sat on the
back of the stage.
“Um, Honesty asked me to stay over.” Tiffany said
quickly, a little too quickly.
“Funny, you know Honesty called looking for you about
an hour after you left and when I said something to
her about you just leaving an hour ago to go see her
she said she was in Arizona.” Caitlyn said with raised
eyebrows. Caitlyn had definitely taken on the older
sister role in Tiffany’s life.
“Oh,” Tiffany’s pause was long and uncomfortable. She
then looked around to make sure no one was around,
“Justin and I slept together last night, and I’m not
talking once or twice, we went all night long.”
“What?!” Caitlyn popped out of her seat.
“Yeah, don’t say ANYTHING Caitlyn.” Tiffany said.
“I won’t but tell me was it good?” Caitlyn said
causing Tiffany to burst out in laughter. The
laughter quickly ended at the sight of Justin.
“Caitlyn,” He said quietly then looked over at
Tiffany, “Hey I figured you’d be here, can we talk?”
“Sure,” Tiffany said as she got up from her spot, “Oh
hey Caitlyn, it was GREAT!”

“We leave at midnight so I expect to see everyone at
the bus station no later than 10 pm. All bags will be
carried in the bottom of the bus that does have an
access door from the inside of the bus. Our first
show is in New York so we will make a TRL appearance.
Are we ready for an awesome tour guys?” Jordyn smiled.
“Yes, now can we get back to rehearsal?” Caitlyn
asked. She was growing extremely annoyed with Jordyn
taking up time that they needed.
“Um, yes is Raianna here?” Jordyn asked.
“Yeah she’s in the music studio doing her homework.”
Justin answered.
“Alright guys let’s finish up Girlfriend.” Tiffany
said.
The music started once again and the guys went through
the multiple 8-counts. It was an off day for all of
them but worst of all Justin. It was really nothing
Caitlyn but Tiffany continued to keep her mouth shut.
They finally finished the dance. Tiffany silently
glared at each of them and they all began to shift
their weight uncomfortably.
“Justin, back room, NOW!” Tiffany’s voice was stern
and demanding.
“Yes ma’am.” Justin said as JC and Joey shot each
other looks. Once the two got into the backroom
Tiffany locked the door behind her as Justin spoke up,
“Look Tiffany I’m sorry it’s just everything is..”
“Shh, just kiss me.” Tiffany said placing her finger
in front of his lips.

((And the tour begins))
“Emily how are you?” Jordyn asked as she shoved her
hair behind her ear.
“I’m alright, how are you?” Emily asked as she
continued to put her suitcase on the bus.
“This tour is going to be great.” Jordyn boasted. She
was never one to hide her feelings about her work.
She knew she was the best and there was no doubt about
it.
“Tiffany, come in here so we can call bunks, you too
Em.” Nina said interrupting Emily and Jordyn’s
conversation.
“Come on Emily.” Tiffany said taking hold of Emily’s
arm and pulling her away from Jordyn.
“I’ll talk to you later Jordyn.” Emily said waving
good-bye.
Emily walked through the large tour bus. She threw
open the purple curtains to see 8 small bunks from
side to side. Emily flung her small body onto the top
bunk. She smiled as she watched the other girls
search the bus. They all had done this before but the
busses were new this year. Tiffany climbed to the
bunk straight across from Emily’s and slammed the
curtain shut. Emily made a face. Normally the first
night Tiffany and Emily practically spent the night in
the same bunk.
“Tiff?” Emily said softly.
“Yeah?” Tiffany said not opening her curtain.
“Are we going out tomorrow night?” Emily asked.
“Um,” Tiffany opened her curtain, “Sure.”
“Kay.”

Justin walked on the stage to see Tiffany and Caitlyn
talking. He was so tired, he didn’t get much sleep
and he had to skip breakfast and his work out because
he woke up late. He scratched his beanie-covered head
and sprawled his body out on the stage.
“Hey you.” The sound of Tiffany’s voice was soothing
and comforting.
“Hi.” He said opening his eyes.
“Are you alright?” Tiffany asked her green eyes were
deep in care.
“Yeah I’m just tired.” Justin said.
“Do you want to go talk about it?” Tiffany asked.
“Um, sure let’s go in the back.” Justin said.
“Okay,” Tiffany turned to Caitlyn, “I’ll be back
stretch them and make sure they have a good warm up.”
The two walked to the entrance room in the back.
Justin wanted Tiffany and Emily but it wasn’t fair to
either of them and he knew he had to choose and soon.
He decided he was going to tell Tiffany that on Friday
he’s making his decision. Or at least he was going to
tell her.
“Tiff…”
“I need to tell you something.” Tiffany finished his
sentence but not purposely.
“Oh, okay, tell me.” Justin said.
“Justin I just wanted to tell you that I love you. I
know that it sounds weird but since we were little
I’ve loved you and I know that I always will and I
know this sounds really corny and retarded but it’s
all the truth.” Tiffany said brushing her warm hand
along his cold face.
“Tiff…” He didn’t know what to say, “I love you too.”
“Good,” Tiffany moved in and placed a kiss on Justin’s
red lips, “That’s why you need to end it with Emily.”
