Plus One. ~ Sequel to 'Love Unlocked.'

Chapter 6 Part 1: Speechless.

Cassidy:

I wake up with a smile on my face knowing that tonight I will be seeing Ava. I pat around my bunk feeling for my phone. I find it and check the time. 7am. I scroll through twitter for 20 minutes, answering tweets and following a few fans before jumping down from my bed. I grab my clothes and head into the bathroom. I quickly change into my hip hop joggers a long black top and my Adidas snapback. I apply my makeup and brush out the ends on my hair. I gather up my things and climb back into my bunk.

"Babe?" Perri says pulling back the curtain.

"Hey!" I say kissing him on the cheek. "Is something wrong?"

"No, everything's good." Pel says lying down next to me. "Anything else off Billy?"

"Only that he tweeted me early this morning a kissy face emoji and the picture that he took." I say showing him the tweet.

"He makes me feel sick..." Perri says tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

"We get to see Ava tonight!" I say changing the subject.

"I'm so happy!" Pel says sitting up.

"Cassidy, are you awake?" Mitch calls.

"Yeah, I am." I call back.

"Can I speak to you please?"

"Okay sure." I say getting down shrugging at Perri.

I sit down on his bed crossing my legs. Mitch begins to close the curtain so we can't be seen. I hold onto the curtain.

"Mitch, is this necessary? I say nodding towards the curtain.

Perri pops his head out the side of my bunk and mouths 'What's he want?'. I shrug and look back at Mitch. I let go of the curtain. He pulls it across, but I pull it back so that I can be seen.

"What do you want to say?" I ask.

"Well, um. You know..."

"No Mitch I don't know." I say shaking my head.

"Um, well, I... Like... Y...Y..."

"Spit it out Mitch!" I laugh.

I look up as Perri is standing the other side of the curtain listening.

"You..."

"WHAT!" I half shout. "You can't be serious." I hiss.

"I'm not joking Cassidy. I really do."

"Omg..." I say getting out.

"No wait!" Mitch says grabbing my hand.

"Your crazy Mitch." I whisper so that the other boys can't hear. "Your dating Kim and you have a baby with Sadie." I yank my arm free.

"Cassidy!" Mitch calls.

I walk away and sit down at the table at the other end of the tour bus. Perri shortly follows.

"What the hell was that about!?" He says sitting down next to me.

"Mitch is crazy!" I say putting my legs on Perri lap.

"Yeah, but what did he say?"

"That he likes me- not as a friend." I say raising my eyebrows.

Perri just shakes his head.

"He's messed up." He says.

"Don't worry, I will never go there!" I say kissing his cheek.

We arrive at the venue and follow the guides inside. After we've rehearsed and got use'st to the stage we head back to our dressing rooms to get ready for the VIP's. I change my top to a white face apparel tee then head into the boys room.
