A birthday surprise

having doubts

Jason's pov

We're in my tour bus heading back to Nashville. "That was such a cool night." She says. "Yeah, nothing can beat that in my music career." I say as she rests against my chest.

Miranda's pov

Why doesn't he want to get married? Doesn't he love me? I look up at him. He looks happy and glad and all but is that because of last night's show?

She looks upset about something! "Is it still your mom?" I ask. She shakes her head. She sits up and turns around to where she's facing me. "I'm upset about us." She says, making my hands tense up. "W-What do ya mean b-baby?" I stutter worried. The bus hits a bump in the road, catching us both off guard but then she starts talking. "You love me right?" She asks. I'm surprised she's even asking that. "Of course why would you think otherwise?" I gasp, hugging her. "It's not that I don't think you do, it's just why were you so freaked out when you thought I was gonna ask you to marry me? Don't you wanna spend the rest of our lives together?" She asks, crying. "Of course. But I don't need a stupid ring to tell me that! Have you been talking to Luke?" I respond. "No, I've just been thinking about this for a while, since that whole incident." She says. I'm not sure how to explain it to her that I don't wanna get married. It's easier to talk to Luke about this. "I don't know what to tell you." I whisper, holding her, "Please don't be mad." She sighs and stands up, walking to a bunk instead of the bedroom! That only makes my fear escalate. "Baby, you aren't mad, are ya? Ya know I love ya, right?" I ask, shakily. She turns over facing the wall. "Baby?" "I don't know anymore, just leave me be!" She cries, her shoulders shaking meaning she's crying. I sigh and jump down. Man, what am I gonna do?

Miranda's pov

I press my face into the pillow to keep from screaming while sobbing. He didn't even try to comfort me. I mean sometimes I even wonder if I am wrong and he's just using me. But the way he holds me and says he loves me makes me think otherwise. I hope I'm right and he isn't using me.

I lay in bed alone for the first time in several months. I wish she was here with me. The bed feels cold and empty. Sleep won't come when there's so much loneliness all around. I get up and go back to her bunk. She's asleep now so I get her out of that bunk and put her back in our bed. I rub her back and hold her close. "I do love you baby, I hope you know that." I whisper even though she's asleep. I've got to talk to Luke when I get home. He needs to help me get a ring.
