Love and Other Trouble {Shannon Leto}

chapter 12

The tour life wasn't as easy as the people imagined. After another 3 shows i was back on my road. I got my full power back and Jared eventually allowed me to be fully on stage again.

We just left the airport of Copenhagen, Denmark. I made my way through the passcontrol first, so i had the chance to sit in the last row in the car, which picked us up. As soon as my suitcase was in the trunk, i rushed to the car door and found my seat.

We arrived at the hotel, checked in and went to our rooms. One night, alone on my own. This nights were like holiday, although i've never had any problems with the guys and me in one place, Even if I had to change my clothes. The boys got used to it and so did I. The only problem was to share one 'bathroom' with 6 men! They had more stuff than me! Lotions, makeup to cover the black rings under the eyes, shampoos and conditioner.
I threw my suitcase on the small couch and myself onto the bed. I decided to have hot bubble bath, since I couldn't have it too often. I went to the bathroom and I stripped down my clothes. I opened the water, undid my makeup and took a seat in the tub. It was heaven, especially for my back. If you have ever played drums, you know what pain you can get in the back.

*Jared's POV*

I was on my way to the catering of the hotel as I stopped at Kayla's room. Maybe she wanted something to eat too. I knew she wasn't one of those people who lock their door, so i went in. After some steps i startled. Kayla came right out of the bathroom, covered with a towel. "Jay? Something wrong?" "Not at all... Uhm... I just wanted to pick you up for dinner." I stared at the wall opposites me. I have to admit she had a great body, totally in shape. Her tattoos were a mixture of female and male kinds of pattern. Stars and animal pattern paired with tribals. No-one could deny that she was the perfect person for tattoos. Besides the huge tribal on her left arm, she also had the glyphs on her spine, a small lizard in aboriginal style on her right hand, stars and a tribal on her right leg and the triad with a colorful background on her right upper arm. "Good Idea, give me a minute." She smiled. I nodded and left her room again to give her space. I couldn't understand how she could be single, besides the fact that she had something for my brother. She was a kind girl, crazy and beautiful and absolut different from other women.

We sat at a table, eating what we choose. I had the urgent need to talk about this Shannon thing one more time. "Kay... Why aren't you planning on telling him the truth?" "Shannon? Why should i Jay? It makes everything more complicated." Finally she opened herself to me. "What if It makes it easier?" "Why in hell should it? I've never had an easy life, so why should it be different now?" "Because you grew up?" "Whatever you say Jay, i won't tell him. It's already hard enough to live with it without him knowing it." She took another spoon full of food. "Well, i just want to help you. If I were Shannon, i would want to know it." "But you are not him, so please leave it okay?" "I got it..."
