Road Trip ⭐️

42 - Conversations & Changes

It had been a few days since Chris and I had our fight yet we weren't working anything out. The problem was we weren't going to work anything out because Chris was gone. He had to leave and go to LA for Marvel stuff and wasn't able to be here with me so we could work this out. I was sitting in my hotel room and I was holding my phone, looking down at it. Before I could think of doing anything Hollie walked into my room.

"Hey, you busy?" She asked and I shook my head.

"No, just sitting here, what's up?" I asked.

"Well, I wanted to let you know that the duet is doing amazing. It's number one on the chart and if it could keep climbing, I think it would. People love it." Hollie smiled and I smiled back at her.

"Good, I'm happy." I said and she smiled sitting next to me to show me the printout she had and I read it over. It was about the song topping the chart and reviews. After going over everything I knew I had the night off and I wasn't performing. I just wanted to order in room service and watch a rom-com.

Hollie had no clue Chris and I were fighting and she just thought he had to leave to go do Marvel stuff. I sighed and grabbed my phone from where I had set it beside me and I text him.

Frankie: Hey...

I waited I wasn't even sure I was going to get an answer from him. My doubts were quickly dashed.

Chris: Hey...I've been thinking about you.

I smirked at this thought.

Frankie: I have been thinking about you too. How is LA?

Chris: Lonely...

Frankie: I get that, the bus is so quiet now...

Chris: You on the bus now?

Frankie: No...at a hotel, I have a night off.

Chris: You deserve it.

Frankie: Thanks, how are the meetings going?

We weren't saying what we both needed to say so this was very awkward for the both of us, I could tell.

Chris: Long and slow. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to be here longer than usual so I won't be able to see you again until the Boston show...that is if you still want to see me...

Frankie: Of course I want to see you! I miss you Chris! I understand work requirements and I'm not mad, I get it.

Chris: I miss you too Frankie.

There was silence and I was just wanting to say it, I knew it needed to be said. My phone went off in my hand and I looked at the message from Chris.

Chris: I know it doesn't mean much over text message but I'm so sorry Frankie. I never should have accused you of what I did. I know you would never cheat on me and I was just being an idiot.

Frankie: I can see how you got that since I had spent all day with me and we did get close but what it just hurt Chris. You need to trust me. I love you and I want to be with only you. I'm sorry I kicked you out of bed and I'm sorry I even made you doubt us.

Chris: You had every right to feel how you felt. I was an ass. I don't want you to feel like you have to apologize. I love you.

Frankie: I love you and I'll see you at the Boston show right?

Chris: Like I said I wouldn't miss it. I want to be there and I cant wait to see you knock 'em dead at home. The final show.

Frankie: The final show.

I then sent a gif of a girl dancing like an idiot celebrating.

Chris: Well until you start the overseas tour.

Frankie: Must you ruin my celebration? 🤣

Chris: As long as the celebration involves me and you in my bed...

Frankie: I figured that was a given...

Chris: Good, we will sleep all day and all night.

Frankie: Wasn't what I was thinking but I mean if you want to sleep...😏

Chris: On second thought...

Frankie: Nope, you said sleep, we sleep.

Chris: Me and my stupid mouth.

I smiled and laid down in bed after I got changed into a pair of shorts and tank top.

Frankie: What are you doing right this minute?

Chris: On my way to yet another meeting since no one can agree on shit.

Frankie: Fun...well I'm going to get some room service and watch a movie. Have fun at your meeting and I'll see you in Boston.

Chris: You know it. I love you.

Frankie: I love you too!

I put my phone down and then grabbed a pen and paper, I wanted to change up the set list for Boston and add a song that was a secret song on the album and played after the final song was done. It was something I worked on with producers and a lot of fans had noticed but I never performed it, now was the time.

I grabbed my phone, taking a picture of the new set list and sent it in the group chat with the band and backup singers.

Frankie: New set list for Boston only.

Mary: Hometown change up, I love it!

She was a backup singer.

Owen: You sure about the song add?

He was a guitarist.

Frankie: Of course I am. I love that song and it was snuck in on the album. Fans have been asking and it only seems right. We can rehearse it in the next few days if it doesn't work we will take it out.

Charlie: I want it to work so bad! I love that song.

Charlie was another back up singer, she had been with me from the very start and was one of my closest friends except for my hometown friends.

They were all in shock and I knew they would be but at this point, I needed to do this song. I didn't even know if Chris knew about it but he was going to hear it now either way and hear the song that was written solely about him.
