A Long Time Coming

Chapter Four

Justin's POV

As I left Target, about ten girls surrounded me. I was trying to be nice and take pictures and sign stuff for them, but I couldn't get that girl out of my head. I don't even know her name. After I was done with the girls, they all hugged me and left. Each of them was very beautiful, but none compared to her. As I embraced each of them, I didn't get the same longing sensation as I did with her.

I left, trying to be as discreet as possible, walking back to the bus. We were supposed to be in Canada right now, not Minnesota, but we were having bus troubles and this was the closest place we could go. Luckily, we didn't have to cancel any shows because of the little detour, but we would have to be here for a night so I was a little peeved about that.

All I wanted to do was get back to the hotel and crash. I didn't sleep well last night because a bunch of fans were around the hotel until about 3 A.M. screaming until the security and hotel staff finally did something about it. I love my fans, but they can be pretty crazy.

That girl, today, though. She was different, and I liked that.

As I got on the bus, I was just about to sit on the couch when two idiots jumped out from hiding, murdering me with water guns. I forgot that Ryan and Chaz were joining me today for the next month or so. As much as I missed them, I was not in the mood to get soaked. I yelled at them,"Get off my bus, you morons!"

They laughed thinking I was joking. They came and hugged me, getting themselves wet.

"AAWWWHHHH, Justin! We missed you so much!" Ryan said, sarcastically.

"Oh, is wittle Justin mad he got a wittle wet?" Chaz said, teasing me in his baby voice.

Normally, this would make me even more mad, but I did miss them. Besides, I would get revenge. I always to.

"Come here, you knuckle heads."

They came in for a group hug. Sappy, I know, but it was more of a joke than anything. I wrapped my arms around both of them, simulatiously giving them each wedgies. They jumped a little and then grabbed the water guns again, pointing them at me.

"Don't even think about it, or you really will get kicked off my bus." I wasn't joking and they knew it, so they put the guns down.

"When do we eat?" Chaz is always hungry.

"As soon as we get to the hotel. We should be heading there pretty soon. We're just waiting on Fredo and Scooter."

Ryan and Chaz looked at each other, giving evilish grins.

"Fredo's gonna be with us?" They asked at the same time, in a devilish manner.

"Yeah?" I was a little confused.

Obviously seeing my puzzled look, Ryan explained. "You see, last time we were with you, Fredo put cinnamon on my whole pizza. He knows I'm allergic and my tongue swells up so I can't talk for a few hours, and he thought it was hilarious. I tried to yell at him, but nothing came out but slurred words. He was just laying on the ground, laughing as hard as ever, and I couldn't even yell at him."

"Yeah, and he put itching powder on all my clothes, blankets, and hats. I was itching for a week before I could wash them." Chaz was getting angry just remembering.

I remembered now and couldn't help but chuckle. They glared at me. I couldn't help it, it was quite amusing. Little do they know, I helped Fredo plan both of these. I was curious as to what they were going to do.

"What do you guys have planned? Do you want any help?"

This was going to be great. I got them, they think it was Fredo, and now I get to get Fredo too.

They started telling me their plan. "Well, we were thinking something along the lines of bleach and color contacts." I was intrigued and urged them to tell me more.

Chaz was getting excited. "Yeah! We were gonna put bleach in his shampoo and then switch out his contacts with some color that will make him look really scary. He'll have like bleach blonde hair and bright red eyes!"

I started laughing thinking about a blonde and demon Fredo. This was going to be awesome!

"We were hoping we could run over to Target quickly and get some supplies?" Ryan had just reminded me about that girl.

I went from laughing to kind of sad. I knew I would never see her again. I saw her leave so I know she's not there anymore. How could I just let her walk away without even asking her name or to see if she was coming to a concert? I'm so dumb.

The guys saw my face and could probably tell I was in deep thought. "Bro, what are you thinking about? I can't tell if your cat just died or if you're constipated!" Chaz had a hard time being serious.

I snapped back. "Uh, nothing. Just some fan stuff. You guys can go if you want. I'll just stay here. I'm tired." My phone buzzed and I looked down. It was Scooter. "We'll be going to the hotel in 15 minutes so be ready. Are the boys there yet?" I quickly texted him back. "Sounds good. Yeah, they got here about 20 minutes ago."

"That was Scooter. He said we are going to the hotel in 15 minutes so hurry up if you're gonna go."

They both ran off the bus looking like two boys who just got a new puppy. I decided to lay down. Her face flooded my mind again. I put in some music to distract myself. It'll be hard, but I'm just going to forget about her. I can't have some random girl consuming my thoughts. Besides, I'll probably meet another girl as pretty if not prettier than her... maybe.
