You've been on tour with Hunter as his new opening act. Things are really good and he's quickly becoming one of your best friends. Though, you've got a small crush on him..okay, okay, a big crush. Okay, okay, you love him. Though there's a girl coming around him a lot and he's acting like he's about to get together with her. You don't go around them when they're together and when they're not together, she's gone. You wanted to be supportive, but every time they're together, your heart breaks a little more. He wants to talk with you on his bus and you're nervous. You get inside and sit down, with him beside you.

"Uh..what do you want to talk about?"

You think he knows about your feelings but he throws you for a loop, "What do you think about, Caroline?"

"What do you mean?" You ask as you look down at your feet, scowling at the shoes you have to wear for the show tonight, they already pinch your feet.

"I don't know... As a person, as someone for me...?" His arm bumps yours slightly and you recoil.

"She's... Um... Nice I guess. I don't really know her."

Hunter starts off on all the amazing things about Caroline and how her and you really remind him of each other. Finally you can't take it anymore.

"Hunter, your relationships are your business and I really don't want to talk about this with you right now." You stand up and quickly leave his bus, making it to your own before the tears start. Your head starts to pound and you look again at your cursed shoes, your feet aren't the real source of pain, heartbreak is.

You hurry to your bus and thank God that your band isn't there. You hurry to the couch and slip your shoes off. Caroline, this. Caroline, that. You wipe your eyes and more tears flow. You jump when you hear a banging on the door. "(Y/n)? (Y/n)..?" You hurry to the back and shut the door and lock it after you hear the bus door open. You try to hold in your sobs. "(Y/n)?" You hear his footsteps coming closer and wipe your eyes to see your makeup come off.

"Crap.." You mutter.

"(Y/n) are you okay?" He knocks on your door.

"Sorry I'm just not feeling good." You tell a half truth, not revealing anything further."

"Okay..." He pauses and when he speaks again he sounds like he's speaking right against the door. "Is there anything I can do?"

"Thanks Hunter but no." You bite back a sob and listen to him leave. Why does he have to be so amazing? So attractive? So unattainable? You rush to reapply your makeup and try to ignore the fact that in just a little bit you are going to see Hunter and Caroline. Happy together while you are doomed to be alone forever. And, for now, trapped in a tour with the man you've fallen for, knowing full well that you can never tell him how you feel.

You hurry off the bus and ignore that Hunter's standing and talking with your band. You turn and walk towards the arena. You see Matt and Andy looking at you, Hunter calling your name makes you speed up. Matt and Andy being the only ones who know and them seeing your slightly red eyes make them spring into action. They've acted like brothers to you and Andy comes over, leading you inside as Matt stops Hunter, telling him he shouldn't. You peek over at him and your eyes meet his. They widen a bit and you know it's from the redness of your eyes. You turn and walk inside with Andy.

All through your set you have the feeling of eyes on you, turning you look to the side of the stage and see Hunter watching you. Happy songs seem all wrong and your smiles are fake. Even the fans can't bring you up, though their excitement gets you through your part. You dread finishing up and having to walk past Hunter. The only relief you have is knowing that he only has a few minutes to try to talk to you before he has to get ready for his performance.
