When me and Josh get back that day, we try to spend as much time as we can together before I have to go on tour with Jenna and Tyler because we'll hardly get any time to ourselves on tour. Once we got to Joshs apartment, I walk into the bedroom and collapse on the bed before Josh can even speak to me. I hear him sigh and lie next to me. He wraps his arms around my stomach and kisses my hair gently. I smile and close my eyes trying to forget what Jenna had just told me at the campsite. I couldn't believe that Debby was once be a nice person. To me she came off as rude and bitchy. I would have never thought someone like her would be as nice as Jenna described her. But I can see how something so terrible might have affected her to be so mean. I wish I had treated her differently because I knew what she went through. Seems like what Jenna told me she was pretty close to her sister. I can't imagine what life would be without Alice. For her not to be there to help me with my homework because I was too scared to ask my dad, for her not to be there when I was scared to death of my mother when she yelled at me occasionally. She was my sister and she was always there for me. If she died, I'm sure it would tear me apart but not as much as it tore Debby apart. My thoughts drift away and I let Joshs arms confront me. I focus on staring at the digital clock next to the bed as I start falling asleep.

When I wake, I feel like a ton of energy has been loaded into my body. I guess all the sleep helped because I turn over and see Josh sleeping peacefully with a slight smirk on his face. I flash a devilish smile and pull out my phone. I open the Vine app and start making a new vine. I click the begin button and start vining Josh. I wipe my hand on his face and he wakes up slightly realizing I'm vining him. He smiles sleepily. "Are you vining?" I smile and nod. "Say hi Josh." He grins and looks into the Camara. "Hi" I laugh as I end the vine. I then sit up to post it before turning back to Josh. But right as I turn back to him, my phone starts going off with notifications. I groan and sit up to shut off my notifications. "Not enjoying the fame?" Josh sits up smiling. I smile when I turn back to him. "No I love it. Just don't like all the attention on social media." I get up and walk over to his side, falling into his lap. I kiss him softly and he grabs my waist. As I kiss him, I notice he's rushing to go even farther. I ignore it until he starts to lay me down on the bed again. I stop kissing him and look at him confused. "Josh why are you doing this?" He stops and looks at me sadly.He puts a hand up to his face. "I-I don't know. I just want to make this last. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." I look down at the ground, biting my lip. "Why didn't you tell me?" My throat feels dry as I speak. "I don't know nora. I just don't want to loose you again." He looks up at me and I look up at him. "You'll never loose me again Josh. I promise."

The rest of February goes by quickly and each day I miss dancing even more. I know it's not right that I quit dance for a guy but it just came so quickly. When we get back from tour me and Josh are planning on getting the rest of the furniture from my apartment and placing it in his so we could live together. Once we finish that task I will try applying for a job as a dance teacher. It's not the best career but Josh will be bringing in the most money from his band. Him and Tyler spilt the wages equally. Though i still miss dance, I take my mind off my problems by reading. Lately I've been reading The Siren by Kierra Cass amd as soon as I picked it up I couldn't stop. Josh had to force me to eat and sleep and Although it sounds silly, I was completely memorized by the content and the thinkness of the pages as I skimmed them before me, reading word for word mentally taking notes. I'm a total sucker for love stories, even the cheesiest ones have a place in my heart. And this one definitely had a tiny spot in my heart. "Nora! You have to get up sometime! The bus will be here at 10!" Josh says walking into the bedroom. I look up from my book. He only has a towel on and his pink hair is all wet. Dreamy. "Ok ok! Just let me get my shower ok?" I place the book on the nightstand and get up from the bed. I'm wearing Joshs sweater with no pants on because my pajamas got hot. My purple hair is in a messy bun with a few strands hanging off of it. Josh nods and walks toward me and pulls me into a bear hug. I feel his chest dripping with water. I smile. "Do you ever dry off properly?" I look up and he grins. "Nope." He lets go and walks behind me toward the dresser to get some clothes on. I shrug and walk into the bathroom, starting my shower.

Once I finish my shower, I walk into the bedroom and pick up my suitcase full of all of my clothes. It's not much, but it's just right. For 10 minutes I debate should I wear the sweater or should I not but I end up throwing on something else.
After I grab suitcase full of clothes that I'll need on tour and my purse, I head out the bedroom to see that Josh isn't in the living room or kitchen. Assuming that he already got on the bus, I walk out of the apartment, saying a quiet goodbye until next March, when the tour is over. Ever since Mark (The bands creative directer) conducted the tour name 'Emotional RoadShow Tour', Tyler and Josh couldn't stop talking about how much it fit them and their music. I agreed because in the last few months all they've played weather its in the car or on a daily basis is their own music. So I have gotten a chance to explore their music a little more and the meaning behind the songs. Ive looked up the songs lyrics a couple times and most of them are very suicidal in Vessel, while in Blurryface the songs are more about insecurities. When I asked Tyler about the album title and its meaning, he explained that 'Blurryface' was a character representing his and Joshs strugglings and anxiety. Of course I relate to this because I have the worst anxiety over the stupidest stuff. It really sucks sometimes to have those voices in your head questioning yourself, but you gotta suck it up and forget it. At least thats what I've been told by Alice. When I reach the elevator doors I press the open button and walk into the elevator, my pink suitcase trailing behind me. Once I fit my suitcase in, I push the down button and when the elevator doors start to close, A woman short blue hair runs into the elevator. Surprised, I stand a little more closer to the wall for comfort because you never know what people can do. The elevator doors close and we start going down. The blue haired woman bends down, trying to catch her breath. Once she finally does, she looks up to see me staring at her with confusion. She smiles. "Are you Nora Martin?" she asks standing up taller. I nod. "How'd you know?" She smiles more. "Josh told me to go look for you in his apartment but looks like you beat me to it." She laughs. I raise my eyebrows. "And you are?" Realizing she forgot to introduce herself, she reaches a hand toward me. "Ashley. You may know my stage name, Halsey, but you can call me Ashley." I reach my hand out and we shake hands. Halsey? Isn't she the singer of that one song I liked? What was it called? Closer? When we stop shaking, the doors open revealing the lobby. Josh, Tyler, Jenna, all stand with suitcases waiting. I walk up to Josh smiling and Ashley trails behind me. "Looks like you've met Ashley?" I nod. "Yeah we met in the elevator." Ashley walks between us. "Hey Jishwa, I was meaning to ask you something. Can our bunkbeds be by each other?" She looks at him flirty. Oh no she didn't. I cough. "Why is she coming?" Josh takes a deep breath. "Ashley I was planning on sleeping by Nora but if theres room then sure. And Nora Ashely is gonna be the opening act for the tour." I bat my eyelashes quickly in horror. I cannot have another girl flirting with Josh on this damn tour. "I thought Panic! At the Disco was gonna be your opening act." I say confused. "They changed it up and Panic is gonna go on tour with us. So its two bands tour instead of one band." I squeal. That means I'm gonna see Laura more. She chose to go on Panics tour bus with her boyfriend Brendon, AKA Her hooking up buddy. Ashley rolls her eyes. "So Josh why are you dating her?" She jerks her head toward me as if I'm not even there. Ugh. This is gonna be a long year with this bitch.
