Love is a Broken Window | Cricky [C]

10 | Tour

Skipping ahead a bit because why not :p

| Chris POV |

"I swear to God, if you get me sick, Ricky, I'm going to kick your ass!" Ryan joked as they walked on the bus.

"I told you I'm not contagious anymore! I've been on antibiotics for a few days!" Ricky replied in a whiney tone.

"I still don't trust you!" Ryan reached over Ricky's head and messed up his hair.

"Hey!" He piped as he swatted back.

Even though they were fighting, they were both giggling and smiling. Ricky's always happier around us, and away from Jani. Him and Ryan started play-fighting and laughing in the middle of the bus living room. I stood back by the bunks watching, entertained. Also, it made me feel much better to see Ricky smiling.

That all ended though, when Ryan hit him in the wrong spot. It was just on his arm, so it shouldn't have hurt him as bad as it did, but it did.

"Ow!" He squeaked as he flinched back, grabbing his arm, which was too thin, like the rest of him.

"I'm sorry, Rick, I didn't mean to hurt you." Ryan spoke apologetically.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. I have a bad bruise right there. You didn't know." Ricky lightheartedly responded.

I sighed to myself, then changed the subject to prevent it from getting awkward. "Why don't you both get settled into your bunks? I'm going to go round up the others."

"Same old same old?" Ryan asked.

"Well Ghost has top bunk and my pillow is already on the wrong side, what do you think?" I chuckled.

"I'm scared you're going to break your neck one of these days, sleeping backwards like that." Ricky commented.

(Incase no one understands this, watch Bus Invaders Ep 305)

I smirked, because I felt touched by how sweet he is. So sweet, yet treated so terribly! As I walked out, I glanced behind me to see Ricky throwing his things in his usual bunk; under Ghost's, above mine. Ryan kneeled down to the bunk across from mine. Vinny would go on top of him, and our tour manager, Josh, above that. Balz slept in the front of the bus.

Speaking of, Balz walked past me to get on the bus. Vinny closed up one of the compartments on the side of the bus, Josh locking it with his key, then they both followed Balz. That only left Ghost before we could hit the road.

He was standing a few feet away from the bus, taking on the phone. I was just about to walk up, when he hung up and started heading towards me. He didn't look happy, at all.

"Everything okay?" I asked as he approached.

"No." He snapped. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Um, okay..."

Ghost sighed. "Let's just go."

I nodded and followed him on the bus. He headed straight back to his bunk, without another word. Everyone else watched Ghost storm off, then looked at me like I had the answer.

"Let's hit the road." I muttered, falling on the couch. "Who's driving first?"

"Ghost was supposed to." Vinny replied.

"It's fine, I will." Ryan volunteered.

I nodded, then just sat there. Ugh! I was in such a good mood, happy to start tour, then I started thinking about Ricky and Jani again. Now Ghost is having issues. I hope this tour smooths things out. Because, we seriously, need everything to pan out. Now.
