Rachel POV

Tour has been so busy for the guys. I don't understand how they do, their using so much energy to perform almost everyday then go to the after parties after the shows.

Curtis (50 cent) has been flirting with me openly in front of anyone lately. I can tell he wants something with me. I don't know if it's sex or an actual relationship that he wants but whatever it is, I won't be doing anything.

My hotel phone suddenly begins to ring making me snap back into reality.

"H-hello?" I ask into the phone.
"Rachel hello, I know this isn't your job but can you go next door and ask Marshall to call me. He must be sleeping or something cause he isn't answering any calls" I hear Paul say.
"Oh, yeah I can do that" I respond.
"Thanks so much! Have a great rest of your day! Bye now" Paul says before quickly hanging up.

I groan as I get out of bed. Feeling to lazy to put on any shoes, I simply walk out my hotel room with a big sweater and shorts on. I walk a little ways down the hallway to Marshalls room. I loudly knock on the door now knowing that he could be asleep.

"Rachel... what are you doing here?" Marshall asks as he opens the door. I see he's shirtless and looks a little sweaty.

"Oh Paul wanted me to come here and tell y-"

"Baby hurry up" I hear a women say from inside his room interrupting me. His face immediately turns red. I couldn't tell if it was from embarrassment or anger.

"Come on, I miss you daddy" The women now shows herself by hugging his side. She has damaged bright blonde hair and smeared makeup. She also happens to be half naked. Typical.

"Oh- I'll just come back later" I say feeling embarrassed.

"No Rachel, what's up" Marshall now walks out the door closing it behind him.

"I was just coming here because Paul wants you to call him back" I say looking up at him.

"Oh okay thanks, and that girl she's just some slut and-"

"You don't have to explain sleeping with other women, I get it" I say trying to sound unbothered.

"Okay but she's just some bitch, I don't care about her" He says looking worried.

"And what? You care about me?" I ask now annoyed to why he's telling me this.

"Yes Rachel, of course I care about you! Your nothing like that whore in there" He yells.

"Why are you acting like your any better than that women in there? If she's a whore then you are to. Your acting like I give a fuck that your sleeping with someone" I say confused.

He just looks at me speechless. I sigh turning around and walk back to my own room.

"Rachel wait!" I here Marshall say before I close the door to my hotel room. I ignore him and go back to bed.

Rachel POV

I sit backstage waiting for the boys to begin preforming. My phone suddenly starts ringing loudly making me jump a little. Looking down at the contact I see it's Jesse my ex boyfriend. I hesitated but I strangely decided to answer it.

"Hello? Jesse?" I say.
"Rachel! You actually answered" I here Jesse say with a chuckle.
"Haha yeah, so what's up?" I ask confused to why he suddenly calls me after months of not hearing from him.
"Oh I just was thinking about you and decided I would give you a call" He explains.

I glance to see Marshall walking towards me. He's the last person I want to talk to.

"Look I really miss us talking. Our deep conversations and laughs" Jesse says reminding me that I'm on the phone.
"Aw I miss that too" I say giggling.

"Rachel, who you talking to?" Marshall says walking to me. I roll my eyes and put the phone to my chest blocking out any sounds.

"Marshall please, I'll talk to you later!" I say getting annoyed.

"Whose on the phone? Who are you missing?" Marshall says angrily. How the hell did he hear that?

"Hey Jess, I'll call you back okay? I have to get back to work" I now say on the phone.
"Oh yeah sure bye" He says confused.

"Fucking Jesse? Are you guys back together?" Marshall says with anger.

"Why would that be your business huh? Here we are back to fighting because your jealous of every male that I talk to or even look at!" I yell.
"AND why I am the one who can't be trusted? Our entire time knowing each other YOU have been the one who can't be trusted. You had a pregnant girl while we were together back in the day! Now you fuck countless women and have the audacity to get angry at me for simply  having a conversation with an attractive man" I continue.

"Fuck you bitch! You don't fucking talk to me like that! Yeah I do fuck bitches left and right but that doesn't mean I don't fucking have love for you. I want you so bad that I go and fuck bitches to try to erase the pain you've caused me!" Marshall says getting in my face. I see his dilated pupils letting me realize how high he is.

"What the fuck have I ever done to cause you pain?" I ask genuinely.

"You do shit like flirt with my homie! Your honestly a fucking whore, I don't know why I still try with you" He says bitterly.

"Okay Marshall, let's pretend I'm the bad guy. You really just showed your true colors and I never want any type of relationship with you ever again, as soon as this tour ends I never want to see or hear from you ever again" I say seriously. I walk off not letting him say another word.
