Burnin' It Down

Chapter Four

Ryan's POV
I've been on tour with Jason now for a week. It's been amazing and the fans are incredible. They have all been so accepting of me. Getting to spend all this time with Jason is an added bonus. I'm standing in my bus getting ready for my show tonight. I'm trying in all my outfits getting all my last minute fittings done. "Ryan it's time for sound check." Kara says walking in. "Alright, I'm coming." I tell her as I walk towards the front of the bus. As in walking towards the arena, I see Jason talking to a girl. I don't really think anything of it until I see them kiss. I don't know if I should be mad or not because we never said weather or not we were a couple. I'm hurt though. I thought he wanted me.

I have avoided Jason ever since sound check. I have my hair and make up done and just got to wardrobe. It's not long before I am dressed and headed to the stage. I walk out waving to the crowd as my band starts to play Before He Cheats. So far, this song has been well received in every city. I'm thinking it may be my next single. I put more energy into the song tonight than I ever have. I decide that it's time to change and out on my gold flowing dress. I get back on stage and as the lights fade in I start my song Starts With Goodbye. The whole way through the song I can't help but think about Jason and that girl. I finish my set and as I walk off stage, Jason comes walking up to me. "Once again Ryan, you did amazing." He says with a smile putting his arm around me. "Yeah, thanks." I say unwrapping his arm from my waist and walking off.

I just finished my shower and I'm standing outside my bus talking to my mom on the phone when I see Jason walking towards me. "I gotta go mom, I'll call you tomorrow." I tell her before hanging up. "Hey, what's wrong? You seemed distant after your set." Jason says as he reaches me. "Jason don't play dumb. I saw you kiss that girl. But I'm not mad, I'm just hurt. I mean we never established what this is so I have no right to be upset." I tell him trying to keep the tears at bay. I tell him it's no big deal, but on the inside, it's killing me.

Jason's POV
The one thing I was not expecting, was to see Brittany show up today. I haven't seen her since we broke up. I didn't even know that she cared to track me down. I really didn't expect her to kiss me, much less Ryan to see it. "Ryan, she kissed me. I pushed her off. The only one I want is you. You have to believe me. I didn't know that she was here." I told her clearly upset. "I just need some time. I know you didn't know she was coming. And I want to be with you too. But honestly, I don't know how I feel about it all. We can talk more tomorrow." And with that, she turned and walked onto her bus. I have to come up with a plan to sweep her off her feet.
