The Story Behind The Headlines

It was ummmm a family moment

~~~Dear MindlessMixTapes (did I write that right?), This chapter is for you because the message you sent me made my day. :) Thanks!~~~~~~~~~

Lidia's P.O.V 

Brandon and I made our way back up the never ending steps into the back of the building. I thanked Brandon for running with me and walked back towards the boys dressing room. 

"Hey Joe wants you..." I jumped at the voice of who ever was standing behind me. 

"Geez!" I spun around to find Big Rob holding back giggles and trying to catch my breath after he scared the living day lights out of me. 

"Sorry Lidi I didn't mean to scare you. How was your run?" He asked finally controlling himself in the laughter department.

"It's all good. The run was fine. What were you going to tell me before you gave me the heart attack of the century?" 

"Good I'm glad you had a chance to run. I was going to tell you Joe wants to talk to you when you get a chance." I paused mentally pleading him to go tell Joe I fell in a ditch and won't have the chance to "talk" for a very long time. Joe obvioulsy thought I snuck out seeing as how the only people I told that I was leaving was Big Rob and Brandon. I nodded snaping myself out my thoughts and turned to continue my walk to their dressing room. "Oh and are those Nick's sweats?" Big Rob asked as I continued down the hall. 

"Maybe they are... and maybe they're not." I said giggling 

"He's been looking for them for a while just to give you a heads up." Big Rob called after me shaking his head. We both knew I was in for it the second I walked through that dressing room door. 

*Nick's P.O.V*

"Um hey guys? Have any of you seen my grey sweats. I can't find them anywhere and they were sitting in my road case right before we went on stage." I asked trying to get the guys attention. I finally realized I was talking to myself and gave up and asking if they've seen anything. All of a sudden I heard the door open and a girl peep through the crack. All heads turned and faced her as she opened the door completely. 

"Hey hows it going. Good I'm glad you're all doing okay. Cool nice chat, well I'm gonna go change." She said all in one breath rushing of towards the bathroom. 

"Hold up there missy. Our "nice chat" isn't over. Back it up and park it." Joe said trying not to be to stern, but keeping his ground. She lowered her head backed up and sat on the couch the far end. You could tell she was trying to get as far away from Joe and as close to Kevin and I as she could. 

"We have some things to talk about." I said sitting on the arm of a random chair.

"Look I'm sorry for freaking out on you Joe and I'm sorry for bringing you into it Nick. I understand you guys are trying to protect me, but I need to be able to make decissions for myslef. I made a safe one and talked to Big Rob before I left and look! I came back in one piece and alive." Lidia said giving us her best inocent smile. 

"Look were not mad about our fight... WAIT! ARE THOSE MY SWEATS?!" I said not yelling to be mean, but yelling with joy that I had found my beloved sweats. 

"Ummmmmm kinda..." She said wondering if she should tell the truth or pretend she has no idea what I was talking about. 

"Uh huh. That's what I thought. Any ways. We're not mad about our fight. We just wanted to clear the air. It's obvious we all feel bad about the things we said and there are ways we could have handled it differently. We just wanted to say we are sorry and that we all need to listen to eachother's opinions before we jump to conclusions." I said trying to be as calm and level headed with out breaking down because we all felt SO BAD. 

"I'm sorry Lidia I should have listened to you and worked on fiding a way for you to go running instead of jumping into all overprotectedness." Joe said adding onto the train. 

"And I'm sorry for not being there to slap these dummies." Kevin added making us all laugh. You could always count on Kevin to break the ice. 

"We cool?" Joe asked.

"Yeah I guess." She answered. All four of us smiled and gathered in for a group hug. When Jeff one of our stage managers opened the door. We all looked at him and let go of the hug giggling. 

"It was umm a family moment?" Lidia said trying her best to explain the situation. Boy this was akward. 

"You know what," Jeff said holding up his hand and shaking his head, "I don't wanna know." We all giggled. "But, it's time to head for the busses." We all nodded grabed our stuff and headed out  towards the busses. 

*Lidia's P.O.V.* 

We reached the busses and climbed on. After Big Rob did one last head count to make sure everyone was on the bus I curled up on the couch next to Kevin and watched The Office until I fell asleep. I felt someone pick me up and carried me to my bunk. I heard Joe say goodnight and with that we were on our way to Seattle. 

~~~~~~There you go. Next update will be on Baby Girl so watch out for that one :)~~~~~~~~~~~~~
