Far Away But Close Together

Tour?

"oh it don't breakeven, no..." and we strummed to finish the song out.

"A, that was absolutely awesome! Oh... lemme check my phone," said Cody.

He looked at his phone, smiled, and then looked at me.

"AJ... So when I was outside, I was texting Al, Matt, Harry, Jake, Ruby, Ryan, and Sophie. And basically, Matt wanted to hear you sing. And so I had called him right before I came back in so he could hear you sing... He just texted me and said 'Codes! AJ is coming on tour! K. No discussion. ;)' He thinks you're awesome angel! ANDDDD he sent the recording he did to the mates and they love it!" he told me...

I was shaking... I was so excited and nervous...

"Cody, why are you doing this to me? Everything is so good! Oh my gosh! Cody!" I said. I went and gave him a huge hug.

"But Cody... once you leave, everything is going to go back to normal... Jake, me, Soph, Rubes, and Oliver will be here..."

"No no no, A! That's the thing! YOU are coming on tour with me!"

"Oh my gosh, Codes. You are so sweet! But I'm going to get even more hate... plus I can't take away from you and Alli and everyone!"

"Hate? What? A? Are you not telling me something?!" I got teary-eyed.

"Cody... ever since we started to pretend date, I've been getting fan mail... and comments on instagram... and tweets... and DMs... they hate me... they keep commenting "ugly" "fat" "ewww why are y'all dating?" "Cody deserves better..." "why is he doing this?" It is killing me... I can't take it anymore..."

Cody looked at me, pulled me close and kissed the top of my head.

"I'm sorry angel... I'll talk to them about it. Okay?"

"Ok Cody... thank you" I said resting my head on his shoulder...

"So are you going on tour with me?"

"YESSSS!" I screamed. I was so excited.

"Oh and A, can I ask you something?"

"Of course Cody!" I told him.

He looked at me straight in the eyes "I love you, AJ"
