i stared out of the window of the bus. i loved touring, but it was the idea of vivian being with us made me hate it.
we had been dating for a little bit, she was aggravating. bossy.
she was absolutely gorgeous. short blonde hair and dark blue eyes.
but that means nothing to me if she is just going to be miserable the whole time. i had a feeling she was only with me because of the fame.
i needed to be optimistic.
our first show was in a few hours. i hadn't been back to LA since i saw jackie last. it hurt me so bad to leave without saying goodbye.
the bus came to a stop and jake walked down the hallway towards the front of the bus. "c'mon im starving."
i cringed at the thought of accidentally bumping into her on the street. i just wanted to curl into a ball and hide.
vivian stood up from beside me. "ugh same" she groaned. she grabbed my hands and pulled me up.
we all headed off the bus. josh tapped my shoulder and pulled me to the side, away from viv.
"have you thought about the possibility that-" he whispered
"yes. yes i have." i hushed him
"well good because shes on the guest list. her and her dad." he said with a half smile.
"josh what the fuck!" i said balling my fists. everyone turned around to face us.

i was cleaning up my apartment in my pajamas. dancing around, acting like an idiot, blaring Out of The Woods by Taylor Swift, obviously.
i knew they were in town today, i just wanted to ignore it. i had plans with awsten later to go shopping and for dinner.
today needed to be distraction free
someone started knocking at my door and i turned down my music before opening it.
"hi dad!" i said opening the door to his smiling face.
"hey! i tried calling you, you didn't answer so i decided to stop by." he said shuffling into my apartment.
"yeah.. cleaning." i said with a laugh
"i see that!" he chuckled. "listen, we've been invited by some very special people to a very important show..." he said.. seeming to know what my reply would be.
invited?
"oh.. what?.. what do you mean invited?" i said dropping my smile.
"josh put my name on the guest list and you as my plus one.." he said softly. "i already told his team i would be there.."
"dad i cant.. i dont.. i dont know if i can do that.." i said getting flustered.
"jacks i promise it will be okay.. they wont even see you. he cant spot you in a crowd.." he said, convincingly.
"go for josh, please." he begged.
i sighed.
"it'll take me a few hours to get ready." i said, defeated.
"good because you have 4." he said patting my head and kissing my cheek before leaving my apartment.
this cant end well.
