It's Classified

s i x: After

After the show we board multiple tour buses to set out for the first stop of the tour. I get on the bus with the band members along with Max, and Liz. Apparently Sarah is not coming on the tour she'll be doing work from LA. I'm not sure how much Liz will be here though because she always leaves and comes back.

The tour buses are extremely nice inside and clearly expensive. In the front of the bus are two couches, and a small table with chairs. In the back is bunk beds and a small bathroom. It makes me happy to have a nice place to live for the next few months, although I think we stay in hotels a few times when there's a show in one place for two nights.

"Bottom bunk on the left is mine," Kellan states sticking a cigarette in between his teeth. He's not lighting it so I don't understand why he has it there.

Kellan is an interesting soul. He doesn't say much to me and when he does say things, they aren't very nice. Oh well, at least Jamie, and Leo are talkative and nice. I don't know if either of them have girlfriends but I'm guessing not because they haven't been mentioned yet.

We're all in the front of the bus, except for Jared who decided to ride the bus with the wardrobe and makeup crew. I suspect a relationship with the one makeup artist, Cecelia. I'm sure their bus is not nearly as nice. I scroll through some social media, and check up on current events. I like to be informed and know what's going on in the world. However, the things that I read online can be very different from what I am told from my superiors. See, we are told the truth of things, how bad the terrorists situation are, how much debt this country really is in and so forth. It's a blessing and a burden to be informed of so much. I get to see how the world really is behind all the bullshit that politicians and the government tell the public.

After a while of traveling I go find a bunk with my stuff on it, one of the top ones in the very back. I get in and take a little nap since this obviously is going to be a long trip.

When I wake up I get down from my bunk to see that almost all of the curtains are shut so people must be sleeping. I look outside to see that it's dark out. Wow, I slept a long time. I go out to the front part to find Jamie watching something on a laptop.

I don't voice my presence, he has earbuds in anyway. So I just sit on the other couch, and look out the window.

"Luxe?" I look over at Jamie and he has pulled his earbuds out and is looking at me.

"Hey." I smile.

"What're you doing up?" He asks.

"I don't know, I just couldn't sleep any longer." Jamie comes over and sits beside me and not like on the other side, like right beside me.

"Would you like to watch this with me?" He holds out an earbud to me.

"Uh, sure." We out the earbuds in and he plays the movie, it's a movie that I don't know. What I do know is that it feels nice to have someone close to me again, the warmth of another warming me too.

Zac and I shared a room, and a bed of course. I was used to cuddling with him every night. That feels like another lifetime ago though. Actually the thought of Zac is pretty painful. I miss him and how our life used to be as sick as that sounds since he betrayed me so badly. Sleeping with my sister was the lowest of lows that he could do to me.

"What's on your mind, pretty girl?" Jamie says pulling me out of my thoughts. He must have noticed that I wasn't really paying attention to the movie.

"Oh not much..." I say hoping that he just drops it. I try to press play on the laptop but Jamie's fingers catch mine. He doesn't move them either.

"You can tell me," he says.

"You wouldn't want to hear about my problems." I say honestly. My problems are a lot bigger than whether or not I hit my marks during the concert. Jamie stares at me with those grey eyes of his, because he's waiting for me to go on, but I won't.

Or maybe I will.

Nah.

"Here's the thing, Jamie, you're a nice guy for acting like you care, but I know you have other things to worry about, like hitting your marks during a show. So you can stop trying." I say icily, a little meaner than intended. I watch for a look of hurt run across his face but instead he just smiles at me. Like he sees right through my bullsh.it.

"We'll talk later, Luxe." Jamie says it like its final. Like I have no choice in the matter. Which I find to be very annoying, and kinda hot. I roll my eyes and look out the window waiting to arrive at our next destination.

When we do arrive in Austin, Texas, everyone is awake.

"All my exes live in Texas!" Leo belts out the old country song along with other verses. He adds a twang to his singing and it's absolutely ridiculous. I laugh at him while I sip the coffee that Max brewed in the small coffee maker in the little kitchenette.

"Miss Luxe, are you making fun of me?" Leo turns to me, while talking in his bad attempt at talking like a Texan. His black hair is sticking up in odd forms and his brown eyes bore into me with a glint in his eyes.

"No, sir, I do believe that you're singing is just magnificent." I mock him in my attempt at sounding like a southerner. Personally, I think I do a perfect accent. In my education we were taught how to talk in many accents. It was imperative that we could act and sound like anyone in a time that it called for. We've had to play different people throughout our work.

Leo laughs at me continuing to sing songs. His voice is really good, he can hit a wide range of notes and it's amazing.

"Leo, shut up." Kellan grunts glancing at him with an annoyed expression.

"Don't act like you don't like it. I know you do."
Leo throws back at him, Kellan rolls his eyes.

I hear a ping from my intercom and it flashes across my eyes as red. I allow to be included into the intercom.

Immediately I hear chaos.

"What the hell is going on?" I ask, my voice louder than I intended. This gave me some odd looks from the guys on the bus. I quickly held my phone up to my ear to make it look like I was talking on the phone.

"Jaze is loosing a lot of blood." Macey says quietly to me.

"Why?" I ask calmly, but really I'm so confused and want to know what's going on.

"I don't know, L."

"Where is she losing the blood from? Was she shot?" This is the most I've spoken over the live intercom.

"This isn't from a wound." Zac replies to me. I gasp, oh the nerve he has to speak to me! But from what he said I put a few things together and realize where she's losing blood from and what's happening to Jaze.

"Oh, Jaze," I sigh sadly.

Jaze was having a miscarriage.
