The Contest (cte fanfic)

Chapter 23.

"Okay you guys are going to do great. Have fun!" I say.

"Thanks babe." Brent says kissing my cheek.

"Yeah yeah. Now go. Do a good job." I say.

He walks onto the stage and I start heading back to the bus. It's officially been a week since Warped has started. I now have a long quiet hour without people yelling to communicate. This will be nice. No David practicing his vocals. No interviews. I go into the bus and sit down on the couch. This long quiet hour won't be much fun without them. I get up, go to my bunk and grab my bag. I get a drawing notebook, pencil, and colorful pens out of it. Maybe I could draw and listen to music instead of being bored? I turn my music on, but after the first song, I hear a knock at the door. I get up and go to it hoping it's no one important or someone ready to do an interview with the guys. I groan and open the door. My eyes go wide when I see the one and only, Luke Holland.

"Hi. Uh are the guys here? Or is this the wrong bus?" He says.

"No. They are performing. But they will be back in maybe half an our or so." I say trying to sound cool.

"Alright well I brought this for tonight." He say holding up a bag.

I tell him he can put it in the fridge. He walks on to the bus and towards the fridge. Once he pulls the things out of the bag, I realize what kind of night this will be. An "amazing" night of me being a bartender. Great. We then talk for a little longer. Well maybe longer than that.

"And what's your name again?" He asks.

"Katelynn. Kat for short." I say smiling.

"That's nice. One of the members of the band I'm in used to talk about a girl name Kat a lot. Maybe three or four years ago."

I know. Fuck. I nod. I shouldn't be here. Hell I basically live in this bus. He shouldn't be here.

"Well, I'll see you tonight Kat." He says getting off of the bus.

I look behind him and see a guy running up to him. Nice blond hair.

"Luke come on we have a show in 10 minu-" he says looking up "shit. Hi Kat."

"Yeah. Hi T-Tyler. How have you b-been?" God dammit. Help me.

"I've been good. So you're here with Crown?"

"Yeah." I don't want to say it. "My boyfriend's in the band."

"Ah I see. Dave?" He asks.

"No. Brent." This is hell.

"Really. You're a vocalist kind of girl I thought. Clearly." He says pointing to him. Asshole.

"Well if you didn't leave me alone while you went on tour and fucked so much girls, you would know more wouldn't you? Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go do something more important than talking to you." I say smiling as I shutting the bus door.

And now, I can go back to drawing. I sit down on the couch. Well today has been eventful so far. The door opens and Hayden walks in. "Hey." He says. I nod. Maybe he won't notice that I won't look up. Maybe he will just go to the back. Maybe I won't have to go to the party tonight.

"Kat are you okay? You seem sad or some shit." He says.

Just as he says that, David and Brandon walk in. I look up at Brandon and point to the back of the bus. He goes back there and I follow. Maybe it will be easy to say I can't go to the party tonight. Sure he won't understand, but I can't go.

"I can't be here for the party tonight. Telle came by and I got mad." I say finally.

"Okay. Why are you telling me this?" He asks.
