There�s something to say for getting drunk with good friends. What that something is�hell if I know, I�m too damn drunk to tell you. But I know there�s something to say for it.
I don�t know if I�ve told you this or not but me & the Mest boys and me & the NFG boys go way back. I�ve spent MONTHS at a time with both of them (which was one of the factors for my doing the diary on this tour. The other will get his ass kicked later).
Tonight�s show was incredible. It has been a long ass time since I�ve gotten to see Mest perform, I still love it as much now as I did the first time. Your life is not complete until you�ve seen those four kids on stage (in my opinion).
I�m sorry but this is as much as I�m gonna get out right now. So this is all you�re gettin for now.
Peace
Kaylee
Kaylee hit send and leaned back into the booth. Some how she�d managed to avoid both Benji and Joel. How things would be able to continue that way she had no clue since later that day she would have to talk to all five members of Good Charlotte, one at a time.
Kaylee shut off and closed her laptop. She stood and went to her bunk, hoping sleep would come quickly. Kaylee slid on her headphone and started listening to one of her New Found Glory CDs.
~*~*~*~*~
�Kaylee. Kaylee, wake up.� Chris was poking her in the side.
�You have some kind of death wish, don�t you?� Kaylee mumbled sleepily.
�You left your cell phone at the front of the bus. Someone keeps calling you.�
She groaned and somehow managed to pull on the jeans she�d been wearing the day before over the boy shorts she�d worn to bed. Kaylee didn�t even bother to button the already loose fitting jeans as she walked to the front of the bus. She grabbed her phone and scrolled through the calls list. �You have got to be kidding me.�
�Who was it?�
�How much longer til we stop?�
�Don�t know. Why?�
�I�m kicking Tony�s ass.� She dialed his number quickly. �Why do you keep calling me? I was sleeping. Because I can, Tony.�
The bus pulled into a truck stop.
�Is your bus stopping too? Okay. Bye.� Kaylee hung up.
�What�d he want?� Chris asked.
�To talk to me about something. If Billy ask I�m gonna be on the Mest bus until we get there.� She walked back to her bunk and pulled out a couple note books, her laptop, and a sketch book.
�Why would Billy ask?�
�Cause this is his idea to get me and the twins talking again.� Kaylee stepped down from the bus on to the pavement, the harsh glare from the florescent lights above were almost blinding.
�Don�t you need some clothes to change into?� Tony asked as he walked up to her.
�Why? It�s just you. Besides I�m probably the cleanest one on the damn bus.�
�You smell the best too.� He gave her a big cheesy smile.
�Damn strait I do.� She started following him to his bus.
�Hey Tony.� Benji had stuck his head out of one of the side windows.
Tony looked up and smiled at him. �What�s up, man.�
�I�ll see you on the bus,� Kaylee said as she walked past him. Matt had just gotten off the Mest bus and was stretching, his shirt raising a couple inches to show his stomach. �Hey hunny.� She pushed up on her toes and kissed his cheek. �Just wake up?�
Matt nodded and took the stuff out of her hands. He ran onto the bus and set it on the table. �Wonder if they have any good stuff.� Matt rested his arm around Kaylee�s shoulders and led her into the building.
�It�s three in the morning and you want to go into a truck stop and go shopping.�
�We could always go back to my bunk,� he smiled suggestively.
Benji watched Matt and Kaylee walk inside. He shook his head and looked back down at Tony. �What�s with those two?�
Tony shrugged. �She toured with us last summer. We knew her before that but her and Matt hit it off. Somebody�s gotta get some ass on that bus.�
�They�ve slept together?�
Tony shook his head. �Not really. They fool around, but I don�t think they�ve actually had sex. Kaylee�s a sweet kid, if Matt did I�d kick his ass.�
�She�s not as innocent as you think she is,� Benji mumbled.
�What? Dude, you don�t even know her.�
Benji nodded. �Remember that girl I told you about, the chick on the internet?�
�Yeah, why?�
�It was her.�
Tony�s eyes widened. �Dude, but Billy said something about her and Joel dating.�
�They did for a couple weeks.� Benji glanced towards the driver, pumping gas. �Hang on, I�ll come out there.�
�Good I wanna know what happened.�
Kaylee rested her chin on Matt�s chest and looked up at him. The two were stretched out on one of the couches in the back of the bus. Matt was on his back, hands behind his head as a pillow; and Kaylee was on her side next to him, her head and left hand on his chest. They�d been this way for at least half an hour.
Tony hadn�t gotten back on the bus and Kaylee was starting to get worried. They�d be leaving soon and if he wasn�t on the bus, chances are he�d be left behind.
Kaylee sat up and got one leg on the other side of Matt before he put his hands on her hips.
�Where are you going?� he asked, his eyes still closed.
�To go find Tony. He hasn�t gotten back on yet.�
�Tony�s a big boy, Lee.�
She leaned down and kissed him softly. �I�ll be right back.�
Matt let go and watched her walk towards the front of the bus.
Kaylee stepped down off the bus. She glanced around for a few minutes before she finally saw Tony, talking to Benji.
Sighing Kaylee started walking towards them. She had to admit Benji looked good, even just standing there smoking a cigarette. �Hey Tony, I think we�re pulling out soon.�
�I�ll be there in a sec, Lee.� Tony didn�t even turn his head when he spoke to her, that was rare. He always looked at Kaylee when he spoke to her.
She knew when to push it with Tony, and now wasn�t the time. Kaylee turned and walked back to the bus. She sat down on the floor in front of Matt�s still stretched out form and starred down at her fingernails.
�What�s wrong?� Matt asked, sitting up.
Kaylee shrugged.
�I need to talk to you.� Tony was standing in the door way, looking down at Kaylee with a slight frown on his face.
She stood and followed him to the front of the bus. Kaylee sat down in the small booth and looked up at Tony�s pacing form.
Finally Tony stopped pacing and sat across from her. He sighed and watched her.
�I didn�t want to tell him okay!� Kaylee said suddenly, already knowing Benji had told him.
�Lee, I love you and all but what the fuck were you thinking?�
�It�s not like me and Benji ever did anything. All we did was talk.�
�So why didn�t you tell Joel?�
�I would have liked to see you do it.�
�Huh?�
�Do you know how impossible it is to tell Joel something after he�s told you that some girl broke Benji�s heart and he can�t stand it? You can�t, Tony.�
�I�m still lost, Lee.�
Kaylee sighed. �Before I told Joel we were talking on the internet one night. He was upset because Benji wasn�t acting the same, because some girl on the internet broke his heart. As far as he knew the girl had a boyfriend and that was a majority of the problem. How the hell was I suppose to tell him that he was the boyfriend?�
Tony sat back and slowly let out a breath.
�Whatever.� She stood and went to the back of the bus to lay back down with Matt.
