I Never Want to Lose My Best Friend

I'm Gonna Light Up This Place

The guys returned to the stage and finished up the rest of their songs. I stood and watched them play. It sounded so great, no, better than great, magnificent, tremendous, so many words to describe it, yet I'm speechless. I had walked to the backstage room and sat on the couch. I could still hear the music booming through the walls. I was tapping my foot to the rhythm of One Hundred Sleepless Nights, the song they were playing. I closed my eyes and listened to every word Vic was singing. My mind started to wonder. Before i knew it they had finished playing and were back stage once again.

With my eyes still closed i was thinking about a million things and was just spacing out completely. I quickly broke out of my trance-like state to Jamie thudding onto the couch, then throwing his head back onto my lap and looked up at me, giggling along with the others in the room.

"How was your nap señorita? Did we bore you that badly?" He asked sarcastically. I shook my head,

" Nah, you guys were great out there! And i wasn't asleep Jamie, Geez!" I exclaimed as i got up,

"I was lost in the music, even after it stopped, i was just thinking about how peaceful I felt. Thats all." I explained to the guys. Vic said,

"Well we're exhausted anyhow, right guys?" They all nodded. Jamie yelled,

"Nap-Nap time!" We all laughed.

The guys and I somehow sneaked past the groupies, crowds, and got onto the tour bus where we took a short half hour break, before the meet-and-greet they had to go to. Mike and Vic were in the back room watching Harry Potter I think. Jamie was passed out in the bunks. Tony was at the tables in the kitchen area. He was just staring at his now empty Monster can.

He looked as if he was about to say something, but he seemed to be having trouble thinking of something to say, so i quickly improvised.

"Uh... Tony, is it cool with you if I lay down? Im drained of energy and I could really use a power nap." He replied with,

"Yeah... You can lay down and relax... You shouldn't have to ask me to do that... it would be rude of us to be sleeping, lounging, or getting high in Mike's case I'm sure, and leave you to sit there and do nothing." I nodded and giggled to his response.

I was wearing a tank top under my shirt and I was burning up, so I took off my shirt and hung it on the arm of the couch as I laid down. Tony was still sitting at the table playing with the Monster tab he had. I couldn't relax. I just couldn't. I looked up at Tony and watched him fiddle with the can, then get on his phone.

I like him. Not gonna lie, I really do, but im not going to get anywhere if I don't ask. Ugh. Ok, I can do this. I got up the courage and asked,

"Hey, Tony? Uh... Would you like to... Uh... Lay down next to me, or something?" He quickly answered,

"Yeah! Err, um... Yeah... Sure, if you don't mind." He was looking down with a huge grin on his face. I thought it was super cute, but that smile, something about that smile makes my face go hot.

Tony laid down beside me and seemed uncomfortable. Suddenly he asks,

"Uh Kasandra? Is it ok if I um... Put my arm around you? If you don't want me to I won't of course." He started blushing big time.

"Yeah, sure. You can if you want, I don't mind.", but before he could even get situated, Jamie squeezed between us, pushing me onto the floor in the process. He laughed, giggled, tried to act all cute and funny. Tony didn't even react to Jamie. He sat up and just looked at me with a very disappointed look. He then got up and hastily walked for the door of the bus, slamming it shut on his way out, causing Vic and Mike to peer out of the back room.

I felt anger rushing throughout my body. I smacked Jamie hard on the chest, getting up cursing horrid words underneath my breath, as i walked off the bus. Jamie was left on the couch rubbing his man boob with a very perplexed expression.
