On the Road

***GUYS THIS CHAPTER WASN'T VERY POPULAR SO I'M GOING TO CHANGE IT***

The next morning I woke up and Anissa was already gone. She had class ealier than I did and liked getting there painfully early. I turned to my phone the memories of last night returning and my sadness turned into a slight anger. It's not like I didn't know he drank and partied. I don't know why I was mad. I just was. I turned my phone on and walked to the bathroom to shower. I took a long one letting the hot water run over me and wash the anger away. I finally talked myself down and decided to look at my phone. There was 26 very iliterate messages that were half cute and half annoying. I also had 3 missed calls from this morning which I wasn't expecting. I sighed and hit the call button. The phone rang twice before he picked up. "SHERRI! OMG I'M SORRY! I FEEL LIKE A TOTAL ASS! Please forgive me..." he sounded close to tears. "Hey no its okay.. I shouldn't be so sensitive about this." I told him trying to calm his nerves. "No you have every right to be mad! I said I'd call and go to sleep and instead I went out and got drunk. I forgot to call you... I'm a horrible boyfriend." He sounded so defeated. "No you aren't babe. I forgive you its okay. Just please... let me know before hand? I don't care if you go and party I just would like a heads up next time..." I heard him sigh on the other end. "I'm so sorry Sherri... It won't happen again.." I smiled even though he couldn't see it. "It's okay babe. Really. Look I need to get ready for class, but I will call you okay?" I told him I heard him sigh again. "Okay I'll talk to you later then." I said good bye and hung up. The school day passed by slowly. I saw Anissa like once though out the day. She and Luke had talked it out and he apologized. She was still kind of giving him the silent treatment though. "You know it really was sweet of them to send flowers." I said as I placed the lillies in fresh water. Luke and Mikey had sent apology flowers. "Mhm." She took notes from a text book and didn't look up. "Either you're still pissed or you love Anatomy." She gave a small smile as she laid her pen down. "I love Anatomy she said with slight sarcasm." She does really she's just still mad. "You'll forgive him." I shrugged and walked to my room. I texted Mikey as I changed into a pair of shorts.
Me: hey babe
Mikey: Hi! I'm so glad you're still talking to me...
Me: of course I am lol how are you feeling?
Mikey: I went back to sleep so my headache is gone now the guys and I are out getting pizza :)
Me: yummy eat a pice for me babe
Mikey: of course!
I put my phone down and stretched popping my back. Today had been rough. Despite my uneventful classes I kept hearing whispers and getting looks from people around campus. I didn't know what was going on until I hit the twittersphere at lunch. I was the talk of the town, er fandom. I didn't even realize that there were this many fans here! However, it seemed everyone knew of my knew boyfriend and there was no hiding. The Internet was a wonderous thing. I climbed onto my bed and sprawled across the matress. I fell asleep after a while and woke up a couple hours later to the smell of food. My phone had three missed calls from Michael and a couple texts
Mikey: hey baby
Mikey: babe :( I'm about to go onstage. Miss you.
That was 20 minutes ago. I groaned and texted him back cursing myself for falling asleep.
Me: I'm sorry Ifeel asleep I hope you have a good show!!
I sent the message and fell back again. I could hear sizzling in the kitchen and it smelled like bacon. I let the aroma pull me from my bed and carry me to the kitchen where Anissa sat at the counter. A tall slender blond girl stood at my stove. "Breakfast for dinner. I should've known!" Jess turned to face me and spread her arms for a hug. Jess was my best friend from junior high and up. She went to a college up north but would come to see me occasionally. "What are you doing here?" I hugged her tight. "I heard are rumor and needs to check it's validity." She said smirking. "And you couldn't call?" I laughed. "You missed me. I had to end your suffering." I laughed and she smiled happily. She turned to flip the bacon sizzling in a pan. The her ring caught my attention. "Oh! I almost forgot. How's Tedlin?" She had gotten married out of high school and lived with her husband now. "He's good! Got a job at the plant doing electrical stuff." I nodded. "Still no school?" She shook her head. "Nah he said he'll go when I'm done. Enough about me! Sooo who has a famous new boo and didn't tell her best friend?" Jess laughed. I smiled and looked at my phone. A few more hours... "I supposed that'd be me..." I said shyly. "Who would've thought! You actually did what you said you would! Granted it's not Justin Bieber or Taylor Lautner but hey I perfer this guy." She rambled. A through junior high I was teased for being "in love" with Justin Bieber and Taylor Lautner but I actually did get me a famous guy so ha! "Me too. More my speed." I winked and she giggled. Anissa shifted in her seat and coughed. "Oh Anissa I'm only playing... not there yet." She smiled and went back to her book. Jess finished cooking and we spent the rest of the evening filling her in on our new friends and lives. "Wow... looks like you're both living it up right now." She said proudly. "Haha I guess so. It's gard them being so far but it's neat seeing them perform and knowing he's mine." I responded. I thought of Michael and how dare he was right now. "How's Luke?" I asked Anissa. He cheeks became red and her posture stiffened. She shrugged and stood up. "It's late I'm tired. Good night." Then she turned and left me and Jess on the couch in confusion. "That was odd..." I said and Jess nodded. "What's wrong with Luke?" Jess asked. I filled her in on last night's drunken mishaps and she nodded in understanding. "She's not used to drunk calls... she'll get over it eventually." She said. I nodded but somehow it felt more than just that. She wasn't just upset with Luke. She almost seemed mad at me and I didn't know why. "So how long are you here for?" I asked to change the subject. "Just a couple days. Teddy and I are going on a road trip to Louisiana." She told me happy to talk about something else. She continued about their plans but I only half listened. The show would be over in half an hour and I was anxiously awaiting a call from the only person I wanted to talk to at that moment. "Doesn't that sound anazing!?" Jess gushed excitedly. I snapped out of my head space thinking quickly. She said something about dinner on about boat... "Yes so romantic! What about really you going to wear?" Ding! Right answer. Another twenty minutes about clothing and hotel choices. Ten minutes until he calls.... We set up Jess's bed on the couch. A few blankets and a pillow. "I'm going to call Teddy. See you in the morning?" I nodded and walked towards my room. "Goodnight Sheri." She smiled. "Night Jess. Love you." I walked into my room. Three minutes. I washed my face. Changed into a large tshirt. Laid on my bed. Then stared at my phone. It was 11:04. He's showering I told myself. My heart pounded. Don't do this two nights in a row. Please. 11:12. He talking? Resting? 11:20. I open my messages to text him goodnight and his face pops up and my phine begins to ring. Thank god... "Hey baby! So I've got some great news! I just finished talking to management and they're letting me fly you and Anissa out to see us this weekend! Isn't that great!" My jaw dropped and I couldn't speak. "Babe? Baby? Sherri are you there?" He sounded panicked and I finally found my voice. "Yes! Sorry I was in shock! Oh my god! I'm so excited! Where are we going?" I asked. Michael filled me in on the details and talked to me until I finally fell asleep. Right before my eyes closed for the night I thought it heard him whisper I love you but I'll was so tired who knew?
