Tour Time

It has been a month since Adam and I started secretly dating and it was starting to become difficult to keep it a secret. 

Because I live with Jesse, if I wanted to be with Adam, I had to go to his place. I did sometimes, but Jesse would always ask me questions and it was getting harder to come up with reasons why I would go to Adam's house. 

It was the day we were supposed to leave for tour. I finished packing my duffel bag and suitcase, so I dragged them downstairs. I was in a pair of short jean shorts and a hot pink crop top that revealed my belly button that held a diamond belly button ring. My long brown hair was up in a messy bun and I had on a pair of pink flip flops.

Adam, Jesse, and Shawn were waiting for me downstairs. Adam grabbed my suitcase and Jesse took my duffel bag. Shawn and I followed them out the door and onto the tour bus. I sat on the couch between Adam and Jesse. 

"Let's make this tour the best!" James excliamed. We all agreed in unison. We were on our way to Seattle for the first concert of the tour. 

We stopped at a gas station so that the guys could grab some snacks for the ride. Everyone got off the bus, except for Adam and I. 

Adam pulled me onto his lap and crushed his lips onto mine. "God, I've wanted to do that for a week," He said as he wrapped his arms around me. "God, I wish we didn't have to keep this a secret," I said. "In time, we'll tell Jesse. I just don't think he's ready," Adam said. "You're right," I said before I kissed him again. We continued to make out until we were startled by the sound of the bus door slamming.

There stood Jesse.

"What the hell are you doing!" Jesse exclaimed. I got off of Adam and just stood there. "Jesse calm down," Adam said. "You made out with my sister!" Jesse screamed at Adam. I stood there, staring at Jesse. I had never seen him like this.

Adam stood up and wrapped his arm around my waist. "Because we're dating Jesse," He said. I watched his facial expression go from angry to uspet. "How long?" He asked. "For a month," Adam said. "Wait, that means the day you left to go get food..." Jesse paused. "He asked me out Jesse," I said. 

Jesse stood there silently. He was trying to take it all in. After about 5 minutes, he finally spoke. "It doesn't take an hour to ask someone out," He whispered while he was still looking at the ground.

"You had sex with my sister!" Jesse screamed before he ran strainght into Adam and knocked him over. Jesse started punching Adam. "Jesse stop!" I screamed at him. While they were fighting, James and Matt walked back in with Mickey. 

"Woah, woah, woah!" James said as him and Matt pulled Jesse off of Adam. I helped Adam up. I grabbed a wet cloth and put it on Adam's nose. It was gushing blood. I led Adam back to the couch and sat down next to him. 

"What is going on here?" James asked. Everyone looked me. "Adam and I are dating," I said quietly. "What?!" Matt exclaimed. "How long have you guys been dating?" Mickey asked. "Since the day we left to get you guys food." I said. "Jesse wouldn't just beat Adam up because you guys are dating," Matt said. All they guy's eyes got really big. 

"You had sex with Jesse's sister!" James shouted. "Yes," Adam said as he took the cloth off of his face. I grabbed a wet paper towel and wiped the remaining blood off. Adam had a black eye. "Why would you do that?" James asked Adam. 

"I love her," Adam said. 

Jesse tried to charge at Adam again, but James held him back. Adam stood up and walked over to Jesse. He grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers in mine. "I'm not going to apologize for being in love Jesse. Get over it." Adam said. And with that, he dragged me off the bus. 

Adam and I stood outside the bus. "I'm sorry," I said as I ran my finger under his black eye. "It's not your fault. He can fucking get over it. I love you and I'm not going to be sorry for that." He said. "You what?" I asked him. 

Adam grabbed my hips and pushed me against the bus. "I love you Scarlett Rose Carmichael," He said. "I love you too Adam Noah Levine," I said before I kissed him. I heard the bus door slam again. There was Jesse. Again.

He walked over to us and Adam wrapped his arm around my waist. Jesse stood about 2 feet away from us. "I'm sorry," He said. Adam and I stood there silently. "I overreacted and should have let you explain, I'm sorry Adam." He said. "You don't need to apologize to me," Adam said as he looked at me. 

"I'm sorry to you too Scarlett. I just need to deal with the fact that my sister is in love with my best friend. I'm happy for you guys and I'm truely sorry," He said before he hugged me. "It's ok Jesse, let's get back on the bus and have no more fighting ok?" I said. "Alright," He said.

Maybe now that Adam and I didn't have to hide our relationship, we could have a fun time on tour with little stress. Bring on the next 6 months.
