When The Lights Go Down

Mixed Messages

Saturday. a week and a half later in Chilly Ontario Canada

Bailey's POV

After the boys wrapped on the recording, the rest of our time in LA Joe spent in a dance studio working on the choreography for the movie...Livie and Nick spent their time being all lovey which just irritated me to no end seeing as how Sam was so far away...just a constant reminder that when we are on the road my world comes to a halt and theirs just keeps happily spinning...blah. We just landed and are now on the way to location where the movie will be filmed...just two more weeks till we go back to normal life...and I get to see Sam.

*Nick offers B a piece of gum, she happily takes it hoping it will help her ears*

*B texts Sam*

(Bailey text) hey you, just got to Canada, on the way to the movie location

(Sam text) how was the flight?

(Bailey text) Sucked...I cant hear anything

(Sam text) y not?

(Bailey text) dunno my ears suck with planes

(Sam text) chew gum and yawn....yer ears just need to pop

(Bailey text) yawn?

(Sam text)  yea, that helps

(Bailey text) how was school yesterday, we didn't get to talk 'cause we were busy packing

(Sam text) sucked, has Jake been texting or calling you?

(Bailey text) no *lie* why?

(Sam text) He is a jerk...he has been running his mouth about getting back together with you and all kinds of shit...I'm about to kick his ass again.

(Bailey text) ☹ go ahead

(Sam text) and get suspended? No thanks...my dad would have my ass

(Bailey text) what kind of stuff is he saying?

(Sam text) you don't want to know

(Bailey text) tell me!

(Sam text) call me later...my sister is crying GTG

Bailey's Inner Monologue

UGH! Fantastic, apparently Jake is saying crap about me and it is pretty bad if Sam won't tell me. Probably should have been a little more truthful about recent texts from Jake...truth was he had been texting me since we left Jersey, wondering where I was, when I would be back...harassing me with threats and cryptic perverted messages. I have just been ignoring them, I figured I'm away so why stress myself out about threats he cant actually follow through with at the moment.

*B gets a tap on her knee from Nick and he points out the window...the city scenery that was streaming by before she had started texting was now replaced by gorgeous wooded areas...not a house in sight...so pretty. B lets out a few big yawns trying desperately to bring her sense of hearing back, soon she is greeted with the much anticipated and painful POP*

(Bailey) *grabs her ear in pain* AH! Damnit!

(Mom) Bailey, Language!

(Bailey) sorry...no more flying for me, I'll just walk back to Jersey.

(Joe) woah...I think we are here

*B looks outside as the SUV pulls up by a large lake and cabins*

(Dad) Ok, everyone out

*B goes to text Sam and realizes there is no phone signal*

(Bailey) *walks around trying to pick up a signal* well crap!
