Scarlet sat down beside her and put on a pair of sunglasses.
Before Scarlet could read anything Kaylee shut her notebook.
�I wasn�t gonna read it.�
�Don�t take it personally. I�ve got three sisters and it�s become an automatic reaction.�
�Can I ask you something personal?�
�Go for it.� Kaylee pulled her sunglasses out of her bag and slid them on. �But I�m not guaranteeing an answer.�
�How many guys on the tour have you actually slept with?�
Kaylee did a quick count. �Four.�
�Yesterday you said you�d had sex with all of them.�
�No I didn�t. I said I�d slept with them. I haven�t had sex with any of them.�
�What�s the difference?�
�All I did was sleep in the same bunk or bed.� Kaylee watched the members of New Found Glory take the stage for sound check. �Ian�s a pimp,� she yelled as loud as she could.
�Yes I am,� Ian said into one of the microphones.
Kaylee shook her head and chuckled.
�Then what�s up with you and Matt?� Scarlet returned to their conversation.
�Matt�s one of my best friends, we fool around�that�s about it.�
�Then why were Tony and Benji talking about you last night?�
Kaylee turned her head quickly. �You were listening to their conversation?�
�No! I heard them say your name, but then they stopped talking until I was far enough away that I couldn�t hear anymore.�
�You shouldn�t listen in on conversations that aren�t any of your business.� Kaylee turned her attention back to the stage.
Tony sat down on the other side of Kaylee and had soon stretched out with his head on her thigh.
�Comfy?� Kaylee smirked, looking down at him.
�Yes, actually I am. I talked to Billy on my way out here, he�ll be over here in about ten minutes.�
She nodded. �Let�s just hope he doesn�t start in about it.�
�What?� Scarlet asked.
Kaylee had almost forgotten she was there, almost. �Work shit.�
�You don�t work on the tour.�
�Yeah she does,� Tony responded quickly. �She�s doing a tour diary for the online magazine she works on. That and she�s my official hair dyer and sidekick.�
Kaylee laughed. �Speaking of, do you want me to dye your hair tonight?�
�We�re staying at a hotel tonight so I�d planned on it.�
�Knowing Billy, he�s arranged for me to stay with one of the twins.�
�What are you talking about?� Scarlet asked.
Kaylee looked down at Tony and rolled her eyes. �Don�t worry about it, kid. Its insider shit.�
Scarlet looked annoyed.
�If you don�t like not knowing the best thing you can do is leave,� Tony looked over at her.
Scarlet scowled at him momentarily before standing and leaving the two.
�Took her long enough to get the hint,� Kaylee groaned, falling back on the grass.
�Here comes Billy.� Tony had sat back up.
�Damn.� She sat up next to him and smiled at Billy�s approaching form. �You ready?�
Billy sat down in front of her and nodded.
�It shouldn�t take long.� Kaylee pulled another notebook out of her bag. She flipped through a couple pages before stopping on a page that read �BILLY�S SHIT� across the top.
Tony laughed as he stood. �I�ll leave the two of you.�
About an hour later Kaylee had finished interviewing both Billy and Paul and was waiting on Benji, one of the two interviews she�d been dreading all morning.
Kaylee sighed as Benji walked up the hill towards her. His hands were in his pockets and he looked just as uncomfortable as she felt.
�Hey,� he said quietly as he sat down.
She smiled the best she could and turned the page of her notebook from �PAUL�S CRAP� to �BENJI�. �I�ll try to get this done as fast as I can.�
�Kaylee��
Kaylee looked up at him. �What?�
Benji looked around to make sure no one was looking and leaned forward, gently pressing his pierced lips to hers.
After a few moments she broke the kiss and turned her head away, licking her lips subconsciously. �What was that for?� Kaylee finally managed to say.
�I wanna be with you Kaylee, as corny as it sounds, I do. I miss you. And I have an idea.�
�What?� She still couldn�t make herself look at him.
�We won�t tell anybody.�
�Huh?� Kaylee finally looked at him.
�We keep it a secret.�
�So you want to be with me, but you want to sneak around?�
Benji nodded. �I don�t want to hurt Joel. But I had you first and I want you still.�
She sighed. �I guess we could try it��
He smiled mischievously. �Then could we finish the interview in my room tonight?�
Kaylee smiled. �Fine. But it�ll be late; I told Tony I�d dye his hair tonight.�
Benji leaned forward and kissed her quickly. He stood and looked down at her. �Just call me when you�re on your way.�
She nodded, noticing Joel was coming up the hill behind his brother. �Later then.�
Benji smiled so only she could see and walked away.
A few seconds later Joel sat down in front of Kaylee. �Hi.� He wouldn�t look up from the blade of grass he was playing with.
�Hi.� Kaylee searched his features quickly. �Are you okay?�
Joel shrugged.
�Okaaay.� Once again she turned the page in her notebook and went on autopilot, writing down Joel�s answers as quickly as possible.
Twenty minutes she got to the last question. �Is there anything you wanna do on tour that no one will approve of�like law breaking shit.�
�Law breaking, no. But there is something I want to do that no one will approve of,� Joel answered softly.
�What?�
�I don�t want you to print it.�
�That�s fine you don�t have to tell me.� Kaylee shut her notebook and capped her pen.
�I miss you,� he blurted out.
She looked up at him, slightly confused, and then looked down at her shoes. �I miss you too,� she admitted.
Joel smiled hopefully. �Then do you wanna get back together?�
Kaylee looked up at him. �But � �
�We don�t have to tell anybody. Actually I don�t want to tell anybody. If Benji found out��
She shook her head. This is too weird, she thought to herself. �Can you say d�j� vu?�
�Huh?�
�Don�t worry about it. We�ll try it, temporarily, I guess.�
He smiled. �We�re stopping at another hotel tomorrow night, stay the night we me?�
�Why not tonight?� Kaylee dared to ask, even though she was meeting Benji tonight.
�Me and Paul have having at PS2 marathon.�
She nodded, a small smile on her lips. �Tomorrow night then.�
Joel smiled and stood. �I�ll see you later.� He walked down the hill to go to sound check.
�What the hell?� Kaylee sighed to herself. �Either this is some fucked up joke or those two think way too much alike.�
