It has been 6 months now since the first show, and Parker and I were going strong. Jaden and Nessa had been seen out together multiple times, and honestly it hurt seeing that. Jaden and I were together for a long time, and I would always love him no matter how bad he hurt me. So honestly seeing him with someone else kind of hurt.

I was currently laying on the bed in the hotel we were staying at, and it was early in the morning. We were in Knoxville, Tennessee. My peace and quiet was interrupted by Parker jumping onto the bed, all wet from being in the shower, "Time to get up lazy bum."

I groaned, trying to push Parker off of me but I failed, "Ew you're all wet."

He laughed, smothering my face with kisses, "Yeah but you love me, so it's okay."

I tried not to smile, but I failed, "Ugh you're always right."

He sat up, smiling, "Yeah I know."

He got up and started getting dressed for the day, and I did the same. After we finished getting ready we headed to breakfast.

While at breakfast, I got a call from Bryce. I answered it, "Hello?"

Bryce immediately spoke, "Ellie, thank God you answered, but Jaden isn't doing good. It's bad Ellie."

I was confused because he seemed fine from the pictures I had seen of him and Nessa, "What do you mean?"

Bryce spoke again, "He's shutting everyone out, and he's always drinking and I'm pretty sure he is using drugs."

I couldn't believe it, Jaden had drank from time to time but he never had a real problem and he had never had a problem with drugs. This wasn't the Jaden that I knew. I spoke again, "I-Is it bad?"

Bryce didn't speak for a moment, "Yes it's the worst state I have ever seen this boy in. He needs you."

I was torn, I loved both Parker and Jaden, and I couldn't necessarily just leave the tour. I didn't know what to do. I spoke after a moment, "Bryce, I can't just leave the tour just because Jaden is going through some shit. It's his fucking fault that this whole mess happened. I'm happy now, and he should be too. Parker treats me right, and doesn't constantly go behind my back with other girls. Jaden just wants attention."

Bryce didn't speak for a few moments, "You just don't understand what's happening. You aren't here seeing what I'm seeing. Jaden hasn't left his room in over 3 weeks. I'm worried about him Ellie. You're the only person that can get to him."

I frowned, "He just thinks that I will come crawling back, but I have done that 3 different times now. He's never going to change Bryce. He's hurt me too many times, and I'm done putting myself in a position to just end up getting hurt. I deserve better than that, and Parker treats me better than anyone else ever has."

Parker squeezed my hand lightly and pressed a kiss to the back of my hand.

Bryce spoke again, "Whatever Ellie. Jaden fucking loves you, and yeah he's fucked up but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you. I just want my best friend back El. Is that really too much to ask?"

I took a deep breath, "I'm sorry Bryce, but I can't help you. I'm on your right now, and I can't just leave. I would help if I could, but I can't. Just try talking to him."
