"everything all right?" Ben asked me as I walked back into the pizza shop. "yeah" I said and looked away," lets go" I said and grabbed our order. I looked over at Parker who just gave me a head nod.
"Jenna what happened out there?" Ben asked before we walked into the bus. "Nothing" I said and walked inside. I sat next to Taylor and looked away from Ben's glare.
All is fair in love and war, I kept repeating to myself.
**The next day**
"Hey Tay could I ask a major favor from you?" I asked as we walked onto the grounds of the festival. "sure thing babe" Taylor said and smiled. "Could we sing come back home?" I asked. "why?" Taylor asked ."Its time Parker and I face our differences" I said. "sure, let me call up the guys" Taylor said and jogged over to the rest of WATIC.

"the next song is dedicated to someone out here in the audience" Taylor said into the mic as I fixed my ear piece. "you were my best friend, lets not throw fourteen years of a friendship away" I said into the mic as the guys started playing.
"I don't even know you anymore, But I think you know What you mean to me. Things will never be the way they were before I guess you can't count on anything" I sang.
" And your brand new friends they won't care about you when the party ends they'll leave you in the dark saying oh tell me where you're hiding. I think it's time to come back home" Taylor sang.
"You taught me everything I know about poetry I still pretend I know what it means remember picking out who we wanna be back when we didn't know anything" I sang and looked around to see if I spotted Parker either in the crowd or backstage.
"And your brand new friends they won't care about you when the party ends they'll leave you in the dark saying oh tell me where you're hiding I think it's time to come back home" Taylor sang.
"Every night since you've been gone I still leave the light on I know it's wrong, to wait so long, you say you're getting on just fine , but you still stutter when you lie I know you better Tell me would you come back home" Taylor and I sang.
"And your brand new friends they won't care about you when the party ends they'll leave you in the dark saying oh tell me where you're hiding I think it's time to come back home come back home I think it's time you come back home" We sang, I looked out and saw Parker watching.
"was he there?" Taylor asked as we walked off stage. "yeah" I said,"I gotta find him" I said and quickly started looking around.
"That song was for me" I heard him say. I turned around and faced him," I dont have another best friend on tour, do I?" I asked. "Hayley" Parker said. "she doesnt hate me" I said. "I dont hate you" Parker said. "then why arent we friends again?" I asked. "its complicated" Parker scoffed. "Parker, Im sorry, I know what I did was wrong, I lied to you, and I take full responsibility for that. But its been five years. Five years in which we havent spoken" I said. "I thought she loved me" Parker whispered. "you cannot demanded for a person will like you, thats not how it works, thats not how you get the girl" I said. "I know, but its hard" Parker said. "I know, but we'll get through this" I said," just like how we get through all the things we went through when we were younger" I said,"together" "I dont know" Parker said and looked away. "Youre going to let this control you? Dont let it eat you away, move forward" I said,"you need the closure" I said sternly. "you have no idea how much I needed to hear that" Parker said as he hugged me,"you're my best friend Jenna, I'm sorry" Parker whispered. "lets move on from this, we'll get by" I said and smiled.
