When The Lights Go Down CONTINUED...

Jealousy

*Wednesday Night conversation with Nick*

(Nick) So I've got the side summi down, it's awesome and it really works with the layout of the stage ...and we finally figured out the ramp issues…we just put these slider pads o the bottom of Kevins shoes…he slides right down now….OH and the trap door is awesome…and Joe only mildly hurt himself like 3 times so I lost the bet…I was banking on at least some stitches, it gives Dad near heart failure every time which just makes it all the more fun…

(Bailey) that’s nice

(Nick) you are grumptastic tonight

(Bailey) so don’t talk to me…you arent REQUIRED to call you know.

(Nick) Yea, I know…why are you so grumpy

(Bailey) why are you so happy?

(Nick) *grumbles* don’t poop on my parade B, I had a good day…I was within range all day….practice was good…I call to share it with you and you act like this

(Bailey) well I have put up with plenty of your grumptastic moments

(Nick) Yea…I know…so are you going to tell me whats wrong or just stew?

(Bailey) stew

(Nick) *sigh* fine grump, I'm going to let you go then..I'll talk to you tomorrow

(Bailey) k….

(Nick) Love you

(Bailey) Love you too…bye

Bailey’s Inner Monologue

Must be nice having a girlfriend that is willing to potentially piss off everyone she knows and ditch the dream shes been chasing for 10 years just so she could be with you….Hell, I'd kill to have half of that kind of commitment from Sam…but no…he is too worried about what my parents think to even go to a movie with me when I'm grounded…who cares if it gets me in more trouble…I don’t! It would be worth it to me to get to spend time with him…apparently the feeling is not mutual , and that just pisses me off.

5am

*B’s eyes shoot open as she jolts awake crying and immediately calls Nick*

(Nick) *sleepy* ‘lo?

(Bailey) *sniffles* hey...

(Nick) whats wrong? Are you ok?

(Bailey) nightmare

(Nick) still? 

(Bailey) they get worse when you are away…I'm sorry…go back to sleep…just wanted to hear your voice

(Nick) no…sok…couldn’t really sleep after our conversation earlier anyway…you seem like you are mad at me and I dunno why

(Bailey) *sigh* I'm not mad at you Bubba…I think I'm jealous

(Nick) jealous? Of what?

(Bailey) I dunno…Izzy…

(Nick) *confused* huh?

(Bailey) I wanted to spend time with Sam today… since we leave on Friday…so I told him I could go to a movie…

*Nick growls*

(Bailey) only he found out that I was still grounded and instead of driving to the movies he drove me home

(Nick) Good!

(Bailey) it didn’t feel good….it felt lousy…Izzy is willing to give up everyting and piss off everyone in her life just so she can be with you….and Sam …he can't even go to a movie with me cause he's afraid how it would look to Mom and Dad …

(Nick) ok….first off….Izzy didn’t take a break from gymnastics to be with me….she did it 'cause she isn’t sure if that’s what she wants anymore

(Bailey) ok Bubba….whatever you say…

(Nick) and two…Sam loves you, he didn’t do it because he was afraid of looking bad to Mom and Dad …he just didn’t want you in more trouble…

(Bailey) What does it matter to him? It doesn’t effect him..

(Nick) *groans* YOU matter to him…he would do anything for you….even give up spending time with you if it means you not getting in more trouble…

(Bailey) well that just makes no sense

(Nick) it does when you aren't Bailey….

(Bailey) I spose I should be offended by that comment but I'm too tired…

(Nick) go back to sleep, make up with Sam…you will be miserable all tour if you don’t, I'll call you later

(Bailey) ugh…k…Love you

(Nick) Love you too.
