** “Look at this BUS!” All the people at the bus station heard Terin scream from the inside of hers and the other dancer’s bus. “She’s excited.” Tiffany turned to Lance. “Aren’t you?” He asked. “Of course.” Tiffany flashed him a large smile. “Hey Tiff,” Lance started, “About what I said the other night.” “Lance, I like you, in fact I like you a lot, but I’m not ready for a relationship yet, I don’t know if I’ll ever be ready for one, but I want us to be friends,” She interuppeted him and then continued, “And I mean good friends.” She planted a kiss on his lips and walked away with a wiggle of her eyebrows. Lance’s heart melted. He smiled boyishly and walked to his bus. Lance walked on to see Joey and Alexia kissing deeply. Joey’s hands work around Alexia’s back and her hands working down his pants, “Ehm..” Lance grunted. “Oh, Lance, sorry.” Joey laughed a little. “Yeah, are you staying with is Alexia?” Lance asked looking around the brand new bus. “Yeah, I’m staying with Joey.” Alexia said. “Okay, you know the rules though.” Lance said. “I know, that’s what we do when we go to the hotel rooms.” Joey laughed. “Yeah…” Lance rolled his eyes and walked past the two. ** “LOOK AT MY BED!!” Terin squealed slamming her body onto the bottom bunk. “I get the top!!” Tiffany screamed flying her body onto the top bunk. All the girls settled into their beds when Lauren finally spoke up, “So Tiff, is Lance a good kisser?” “What?” Tiffany’s head popped up. “Yeah, don’t play stupid, we all saw the kiss you planted on his lips.” Kaylee pointed out. “Yeah, and the look you left on his face.” Terin giggled. “Lance and I are friends.” Tiffany confirmed. “Uh, huh.” Kaylee said in disbelieve. “Kaylee, your not one to talk miss ‘oh of course I am sweetie’ huh, what’s up with you and Chris?” Tiffany turned it around on Kaylee. Kaylee’s face turned red and she smiled slyly, “Chris and I are just friends.” Kaylee saw a blue pillow come flying at her face with a loud scream flying out of Tiffany’s mouth. Kaylee returned the favor. Sooner or later the rest of the girls decided to join. The squealing and screeching stopped because of a silent ringing of Tiffany’s phone. Shh’s rang through the room. “Hello?” She said plainly out of breath. “Yo.” She heard the voice on the other end say. “Uh, hi, who is this?” She asked as the other 4 pairs of eye concentrated harshly on Tiffany. “Ugh, I’m offended,” he whined, “It’s Justin.” “Oh,” Tiffany said, “What up?” “Want to do something tonight?” Justin asked her. “Oh, I would but I promised you know who, I would already.” Tiffany said sincerely. “You want him don’t you?” Justin said trying to sound playful and not jealous. “Of course I do!” Tiffany laughed. “Ew, alright well I’ll see ya at the next stop.” Justin said with seductive voice. “OoO, you too baby.” Tiffany cooed. “Bye.” He laughed. “See ya.” Tiffany said then hung up the phone to see 4 smiling faces, “What?” “Who was thaaaat?” Angela taunted. “Justin…” Tiffany said sounding a little confused. “Justin?” Lauren’s head popped up. “Yeah, Justin.” Tiffany answered. “Dude, I thought that was Lance by the way your face looked.” Terin said. “Well, it wasn’t, and I don’t like Justin, so DON’T GET ANY IDEAS!” Tiffany said. “Riiiiight.” Lauren lied her head down. ** JC walked to the payphone and began to dial the number on his hand. He was nervous. He never got nervous when he called a girl. He was always confident. After about three rings a gentile voice answered, “Hello?” “Um, hello, is Ally there?” JC asked. “This is.” Ally answered. “Oh, hey, Ally, it’s Josh, uh, JC.” JC stuttered a little. “Oh, hi! Where are you?” Ally asked. “Um, Still in Florida.” JC said. “Oh, cool, so how is everything?” She asked. “Fine, we have our first show tomorrow.” JC said. “I know, my little sister is going.” Ally said. “Why don’t you come too?” JC asked. “Um, I am…” She said. “Right on, I’ll get you backstage passes…hell, I’ll get you on the bus.” JC said. “Um, okay…” Ally sounded a little weird. “COME ON JC WERE LEAVING!” Joey yelled for him. “Hey, I’ll call you later…” JC said. “Um, yeah, bye.” Ally said. ** Tiffany climbed up into her bunk. It was dark, and she couldn’t see anything. She finally pulled the rest of her drunkin body onto her bed. It seemed there was less room. She laid her arm to the side and felt something warm and moving beside her. She could feel a warm breath on her face. She felt something grab her hand. Terrified she screamed but felt a hand cover her mouth. The person keeping her hushed turned on the light. Tiffany’s eyes widened but none of their girls could seem to hear her. She struggled harshly as Arian held the gun to her head. “This is what you get for leaving me!” Arian whispered to her. He cocked the gun and pulled the trigger. Tiffany shot up. Her chest moved up and down wildly. She looked around. Nothing. Silence. Nothing but the faint snoring of Terin. She crawled out of her bunk and looked out of the window. The bus was moving and she was dying to get out. She walked up to the driver. “Calicia, when will we be stopping?” She asked the driver. “Um, twenty minutes.” She answered. “Okay, thanks.” Tiffany sighed and walked to the back room and sat on the couch. She picked up her phone and dialed a number. After five rings she hung up the phone. She then pulled it back up to her face and dialed another number. “Hello?” The voice on the other end sounded wide-awake. “Hi.” Tiffany said looking at her painted toenails. “Tiffany, what are you still doing up?” Justin asked. “I can’t sleep.” Tiffany said. “Me neither.” Justin said. “Next stop, let’s talk.” Tiffany suggested. “Yeah.” Justin said. “Bye.” “Bye.” ~*~*20 minutes later*~*~ “So one last fight, I packed my shit and left, for good.” Tiffany said taking a drink of her Dr. Pepper. “Wow, sounds like a ruff relationship.” Justin said taking a bite out of his doughnut. “Yup, it is, so what about your relationships?” Tiffany said now eating her beef jerky. “Not much to say about them, the hardest one was Britney. She was my life and she dropped me like I was NOTHING to her. It really hurt, I was madly in love with her and she broke my heart.” Justin said. “Relationships suck!” Tiffany said. “Yeah, I agree.” Justin said. “Wanna hang out in my bus?” Tiffany offered as she watched the drivers make their way back to the bus. “Yeah.” Justin answered. The two walked back onto the bus and made their way to the back room. Justin sat down and Tiffany placed her legs in his lap. “So anyway, do you think this guy will come after you?” Justin asked her. “I don’t know. Arian is capable of a lot and especially now that I am on this tour with y’all, I’m a little nervous.” Tiffany said. “Well, don’t worry, I’ll protect you.” Justin smiled. “I feel so much safer.” She said snuggling into his arms. “I know, cause I’m the bomb diggity baby.” Justin laughed as Tiffany popped up and gave him a playful slap on the arm. He stopped her and pressed his lips against hers. She felt his hands slide up and down her sides. She kept her eyes shut tightly, she knew damn well she enjoyed it. He was a better kisser than Lance. Lance! She pulled herself away from him and smiled at him gently. **
