The Pretender

Chapter 2

~Rylan's POV~
I helped Krist carry stuff onto the bus, Nirvana was going on tour again. So much for taking a break. We loaded the last of the stuff onto the bus and sat down, I laid down on the bed I claimed as mine, aka my bed. Now we just have to wait for Kurt and Dave.

"Wanna play Uno?" Krist asked

I shrugged "Sure" I sat across from him at the tiny table, we played Uno. Eventually Kurt and Dave walked in, "Guys, look what we found!" Kurt said, smiling. Krist looked at them "What'd you find?" I looked over and gasped, Kurt was holding a kitten. Dave wrapped his arm around Kurt, smiling "We found her stuck in a tree" I smiled "Did you name her?" Kurt shook his head "Not yet, we haven't thought of anything"

They sat at the table and we played Uno for a few hours.

~Krist's POV~
We were on the road now. We were heading to our first show of the tour, Rylan's band just released their second album, Foo Fighters just released their sixth album, and Nirvana hasn't really done much album-wise.

Since some albums have been released we all just decided to tour together. Rylan's gonna meet the rest of his band at the next stop and then they'll join us on the bus, which is gonna be a bit cramped. It was night time and everyone else was asleep, I'm tired, but I just don't wanna go to sleep.

The bus shook, making me jump.

"Mmm..What's going on..?" Rylan asked, sitting up.

He was originally laying on his bed but now he was on the floor from the bus shaking, he was tangled up in his blanket. I went over to him and helped him get untangled, "Just some shaking, go back to bed, Ry" he leaned against me, snoring. I sighed quietly, laying him down  and covering him up.

I sat down at the table again and stared out the window. I haven't been feeling like myself lately, and I'm sure Kurt and Dave have noticed by now. I wanna feel better but I just...can't. I don't know why. I have so many things to look forward to and so many things that make me happy, so why am I feeling like this?

"Krist..?"

I jumped, looking over at the beds. Kurt was climbing down from the top bed, I helped him down. He turned around, looking up at me "You okay..?" He asked, I nodded.

"I'm alright, Kurt. Honest." He hugged me "Liar" I sighed, hugging back. He reached up and played with my hair, I leaned into it "I've just been feeling really off lately, I don't know why" I sighed, Kurt kissed my cheek "It's okay to feel like this, Krist. Next time we stop we can go for a walk, maybe it'll help you clear your head." I nodded slightly "Okay" he climbed back up onto the bed and sat by Dave. He looked down at me "You coming up here?" "Oh, uh, yeah. Sorry." I climbed up to them and laid down, Kurt laid by me.

"You don't have to be sorry, it's okay." He hugged me, falling asleep. I fell asleep.

I'm okay.

Everything's okay.
