Drunk On You (Sequel To The Surprises In Life)

Chapter One

RECAP: I felt myself starting to fall asleep. As I fell asleep I felt Jack pick my up carrying me to my bunk.

He gently tucked me in. I felt him kissed my forehead and whispered “I’m so sorry. I can never forgive myself for hurting you. I actually started to fall for you too... I wish it could be simple.”

I knew he thought I was asleep which caused his confession.

I woke up the next morning knowing my eyes had to be puffy/blood shot. I made my to the bathroom noting that the rest of the bus was still asleep. I looked at the clock seeing it was only 7:30. I washed my face and changed into a pair of black Sofie’s and a oversized white We The Kings (with green and blue letters) shirt. I threw on my black uggs. I knew in about two hours I would be home again. Matt was going to stay over for a few days because he thought the tour would take longer and bought a ticket to go home a week too late. I quickly threw my hair up in a ponytail, brushed my teeth, and removed my makeup. I sighed knowing this was the last time I would be on this bus. It knew I would miss it but I was ready to get home. 

~Four Months Later~

Class ended early and I was so happy to be leaving earlier. I had to run home and call my agent.

So a month after touring ended I went out with friends to an open mic night. Within a week I got signed to a record label. I got a record deal with a country label. My agent was setting me up to record on my days off from class and nights that I didn’t have a lot of work to get done. I will be finishing recording my first album by the end of the week and be headed on tour with Luke Bryan.

Matt was so excited when I called him to let him know. He kept me updated with the guys. Alex started dating a girl named Tay from another band they toured with. Rian and Cassadee are still together. Zack calls me as often as he can. The only person Matt never seems to talk about is Jack. I can’t say I really asked either.

I hit send waiting for an answer. I was growing impatient hoping I could get a quick conversation in before I had to call the long list of other people I had to call.

Finally they answered “Ava?”

I smiled “Hey Matt!”

“How are you?”

“I’m great. How are you?”

I could tell he was smiling “I’m good. How’s the album coming?”

I was so excited to tell him more “It’s coming along great. I really hope you can come to the release party! It comes out in about a week. I finish final touches tonight.”

“That’s awesome! I wouldn’t miss it for the world!”

“Great!”

“So I actually have something to tell you...”

“Okay... Is everything alright?”

I got slightly worried knowing he had something to tell me. Right as he got ready to answer my phone started beeping wildly.

I sighed “Sorry Matt I have to go. My agent is calling and it’s gotta be important. I will have to call you back.”

He sighed “Okay that’s fine. Just call me back when you can.”

“Sorry... Well I love you. I promise I call back as soon as I can!”

After talking to my agent I had to rush to the studio to make sure my album was ready. We were a week behind and my album is due to come out in a little over a week. After listening to the songs and adding a little more my album seemed to be complete. By the time I was done it was too late to call Matt back. Plus I was really tired and had to get up early for class. Luckily for me I graduate early and only have a week left of classes left. It all worked out so I could finish up classes and my album so I could go on tour in about two weeks. Rian, Cassadee, Matt, Zack, and Alex have all been promoting me like crazy online. My official facebook has 430,000 likes already and keeps continuing to grow as people continue to promote me.

I quickly logged onto my twitter checking to see what everyone was up to.

I felt excitement fill me up when I saw that Luke Bryan wrote on twitter “Hello world! In two weeks I’ll be headed on my High On Summertime tour with the one and only @Ava_So_Fly! Be sure to buy her album coming out next week! Can’t wait to see you all out there!”

I quickly wrote “That surreal moment when @LukeBryan mentions me going on tour with him! So excited! Can’t wait for everyone to hear my stuff! Thanks everyone who seems to be liking me so far!”

I scrolled through my replies smiling at people’s nice words and responded to as many as I could. I kept looking until I noticed Jack seemed to like and re-tweet a lot of my stuff. I clicked on his profile looking at it.

I was stunned seeing all his tweets from the past week have been reminding people to get my album. I continued scrolling until I read a tweet from about a month ago “Hoping this will change it all for us. I stopped pretending it all never happened. Even stopped kidding myself...”

I knew he wouldn’t post everything on twitter so I quickly found him on Tumblr reading his posted that said “Aimee and I did in fact breakup... I actually broke up with her... The truth is I’m not the same person I was when we first got together. I learned in life not everything is as it seems. I thought Aimee and I were together because we loved each other for all the right reasons but I was wrong. I saw what it was like to really generally care for someone but I fucked it up. Hell I even may have been in love with that person but I’m an idiot. I thought it was possible to love two people at the same time but truthfully only one of them held my honest love. Now it’s too late and they’re moving on with their life. Honestly I wish them nothing but the absolute best in their career. I hope one day I can see them perform live. I know it will be an amazing show. I wish them luck as they get ready to start touring and their album comes out soon. I rather not name names or start anything but she honestly doesn’t know any of these things. I hope one day her and I can be friends... but until that day I will just sit back and watch her career taking off hoping and wishing her nothing but the best.”

I felt tears flowing so hard from my eyes as I closed my laptop not able to look at his post anymore. After that I put my head down on my pillow hoping sleep would find me soon.
