When You Look Me In The Eyes

Fairy Tale

*B stomps by Joe in the hallway on the way to her room*

(Joe) Hey Monkey…what’s…hey where ya going? What’s wrong?

*B slips her card into the door and quickly enters her room in a huff, Joe runs and catches the door before it shuts and walks in*

(Joe) what’s wrong?

(Bailey) HE is UNBELIEVEABLE! 

(Joe) Who?

(Bailey) *grumble* complete IDIOT and for what? To impress some girl?

(Joe) who? *confused* Sam? *angry*

(Bailey) NO! UGH! And then he has the nerve to be mad at me?!

(Joe) what the heck are you talking...*door flings open*

(Nick) *angry* What the hell is the matter with you?!

(Joe) ah ha! Dude, Nick what did you do?

(Nick) What did I do? I didn’t do anything

(Bailey) EXACLTLY!

(Joe) *cocks a brow in confusion* huh?

(Nick) NEWSFLASH Bailey…I'm the one that has to live with D, NOT YOU…there is no need to babysit me I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself!

(Bailey) NEWSFLASH Nicholas, you may be the one that has D but we ALL live with it…whats worse is that YOU are the only one that has power to do anything about it… you CHOSE to leave your D arsenal here instead of taking it with you on a run … 

(Nick) That still gives you no right to talk to me like a child in front of Izzy! God Only knows what she is thinking right now after your little outburst

(Bailey) I don’t give a shit what Isabelle thinks of me or my outburst…she isn’t my concern…you are!

(Nick) well stop being so concerned I'M FINE

(Bailey) SURE...NOW. What if you had passed out and hit your head? Does she even know what to do if you drop low? And I cant just NOT be concerned about you…

(Nick) my body…my problem…I can take care of myself

(Bailey) SO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF THEN

(Nick) geez….SHUT UP ALREADY

(Joe) Ok…WOAH…..you guys need to just chill out

(Nick) Butt out Joe this is between B and I

(Joe) No…you guys need to stop … you both are angry and stubborn and it never ends well

(Bailey) I'm not stubborn….HE is stubborn! And apparently Isabelle is worth risking his life over

(Nick) OH MY GOD! You are SO dramatic!

(Bailey) and you are SO stupid!

(Nick) Ya know what…

(Joe) that’s it…B come with me… *grabs B by the shirt and pulls her toward the door*

(Bailey) wait…what? * tugs against Joe pulling her away* Joseph!…UGH…I am trying to talk to Nick…WHAT NICK? WHAT?!

(Joe) NO…just stop…BOTH of you…you need a time out

*Joe pulls B out of the room and down the hall*

(Bailey) what the hell…let me go

(Joe) No and watch yer mouth… paps and ubers are lurking

(Bailey) I don’t care!

(Joe) Yea, well I do and so does Mom and Dad *opens his bedroom door and pulls B inside*

(Joe) I will never understand how you two can be so close but have the most intense fights

(Bailey) this is stupid we don’t need a *air quotes* “time out” we need to talk….or rather I need to talk…he needs to listen

*B walks toward the door and is blocked by Joe*

(Bailey) Seriously?.....SERIOUSLY ?

(Joe) neither of you is talking…both of you are just screaming at eachother. Nothing is going to get resolved like that so just sit down and chill out…we have tour promotion all day and the last thing we need is Nick all hulk smash

*B sits down on Joe's bed in a huff*

(Bailey) this is dumb

(Joe) yea well, you will get over it…see what’s on tv

*B flips on the tv and Joe sits down beside her*

(Joe) oooh wait go back

(Bailey) I'm not watching ESPN!

(Joe) I just want to see something then you can change it

(Bailey) well then watch it later…it loops the same darned thing over and over anyway

(Joe) its my tv

(Bailey) yea well…I'm being held prisoner so I'm picking the channel…dont you have promotional stuff to get ready for

(Joe) fine…you stay here…no sneaking back to fight with Nick while I'm taking a shower

(Bailey) yea yea yea…

(Joe) Bailey….

(Bailey) Joseph….

(Joe) I mean it…

(Bailey) would you just go shower already…I'll stay put

*Joe grabs some clothes and disappears into the bathroom*

*B grabs her phone and texts Nick*

(Bailey text) conversation NOT over

(Nick text) nothing to discuss...the way I deal with D is my business

(Bailey text) FINE! HOPE D KICKS YOUR ASS TODAY JERK!

Bailey’s Inner Monologue

Those three can have eachother! Im sure Nick, D and Izzy will make a beautiful set...I mean…its practically textbook fairytale….He is willing to risk his life for her….she is willing to give up everything for him….and then there is D…. the vindictive villain…..happily ever after….NOT.

Chapter End Notes:

PS....B is pissed....in case you didnt catch that...Nick is screwing around with the safety of B's favorite person on the planet and she is not thrilled about it....sometimes when you love someone and they do something so stupid that could have potentially ended in them getting hurt you cant help but be mad at them for being so wreckless....I remember my words that night in the hospital to my friend.....

"I am so glad you are ok!!!   CAUSE IM GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!!!!"
