Authors Note: I'm sorry this chapter isn't the best. I'm just trying to get things moving a little faster.

Chris' POV

"Chris, I think I'm gay!" Ricky said as he raised his voice. I stood there in silence as I tried to process what he just said.. That was what was bothering him? I watched him as he ran he hands through his hair unable to think of anything to say we stayed silent for a few minutes.

I took a step towards him, my mind blank as I put my hand on his shoulder, I watched him as he turned towards me. Before I knew what I was doing I crashed him into me, wrapping my arms around him tightly. I don't know why I did it, but I've never seen Ricky so small and vulnerable before...

"Ricky.." I mumbled "We're here for you, I'm here for you.. You don't need to hide anything from us.." I felt him nod against my chest and we stood there like that for a moment before I pulled away and looked down at him. I smiled and ruffled his hair before putting my arm around his shoulder and walking onto the bus with him.

The guys were all sat around the seating area talking about whatever they were talking about.

"I'm gunna go have a shower" I told them as I made my way to the bathroom and shut the door behind me. I stepped under the hot water washing all the paint and make-up off.

There were only a few days left of tour. Our final show was in our home town Scranton, which was lucky.

My mind turned back to Ricky.. I hope that was all that was bothering him.. I'm sure he knows he can talk to me about anything.. Well I guess he does otherwise he wouldn't have told me that he was gay..

It's allot to take in I guess.. I don't have a problem with him being gay, not at all, as you know our band stands for being yourself and being proud of who you are. It's just something I never expected.

"Chris!" I heard someone bang on the bathroom door "Have you drowned or what? Hurry up I need a shower!" It was Ricky. I laughed to myself as I turned the water off and got out of the shower, wrapping the towel around my waist and picking up my clothes. I opened the door and practically walked into him, I laughed and ruffled his hair as I passed "It's all yours Ricky boy."

Ricky's POV

It was the final show of our tour tonight and I was doing the last few hours of driving to the venue, we used to play here allot before we started touring, and it was always a great show. An amazing show to end on. I smiled to myself. I was feeling so much better after coming out to Chris. But I didn't feel like telling the rest of the guys just yet. Not that I dont want to, believe me I do but I think it's best to wait until after the tour.

I was humming along to HIM as I drove, I heard the hum of the guys talking in the background. My smile grew wider as we pulled into the back of the venue. I walked to the seating area "And finally we've arrived!" I said happily as I made my way out of the bus and stretched. I pulled a cigarette out from my pack to my lips and shielded it with my hand as I lit it, inhaling deeply as I held the smoke in my lungs for a few seconds before exhaling the smoke into the sky. The guys slowly filed out of the bus all chatting away with each other.

"Let's get this fucking show started!" Balz said as he put his arms around Chris' and Ryan's shoulders. I smoked my cigarette and threw the butt on the ground. We loaded out and put all of our gear in the venue, by the time that was done we had soundcheck and after that we headed back to our bus to change and get ready for tonight.

"That was fucking awesome!" Chris shouted as we got off stage, we all highfived, buzzing with energy we made out way to the merch stall. We took pictures with the fans, signed stuff and chatted with them as much as we could until the venue had to close. After that we stood out the front and chatted some more until eventually all the fans had dispersed. By this time it was around 11.00pm. Chris had been grinning the whole night, just seeing it lifted my spirits even more. He was, beyond handsome when he smiled.

Chris draped his arm over my shoulder and I put my arm around his upper back as the final fan took a picture of all us all. We thanked them for coming and gave them a hug before we finally walked back to the bus.

I collapsed on the couch exhausted. Angelo came and sat on my legs and Chris on my stomach. I groaned and rubbed my face with my hands. Chris ruffled my hair "Aww you tired Rick?" he said as he looked down at me, I flipped him off and he looked at me offended. "Is that anyway to treat the lead singer of a amazingly perfect band!?" I laughed as he got off me and walked away to the other couch dramatically. I sat up and watched him.

"Chris, you know I love you" I said jokingly as I winked at him playfully.

"And I love you too little Ricky" Chris replied as he laughed quietly.

If only he knew how true that was.

We kept talking for around an hour more before we decided we should probably head on home. Chris was gunna drive and drop us all at home.

Finally the bus stopped outside my house. By this time it was well past 1am. I grabbed my bag with my clothes and things in, slung my guitar over my shoulder and said goobye to Ghost and Chris who were the last two left on the bus.

I got in and turned the hallway light on as I looked around. It was just how I'd left it. I was just about ready to collapse as I made it to my room. I dropped my bag on the floor and leant my guitar against my wall, I wiped my make-up and turned all the lights out before getting into bed and quickly falling asleep.
