Marshall's P.O.V

It's weird.. Jenny has barely talked to me for the past three days and we're now in Manchester. Whenever I try to talk to her then she always has an excuse. I don't fucking get it, I thought we were fine, more than fine man. I never get to understand women! I thought me and her were done acting like that, I thought we were gonna be honest if something bothered one another. I asked her yesterday if there was something wrong and she just answered me very coldly that she just had a lot on her mind. I don't even dare to come near her because I can already feel her cold vibe, and I'm not gonna deal with some pissed off female.

I walk out of my hotel suite and I see Emily further down the hallway. I need to know what's up man.

"Emily." I say and catch up on her.

"Hey, shouldn't you be at the concert place now to warm up?" She asks.

"Yeah I'm on my way over there now." I say. "Is Jen there?"

"Yeah."

"Why is she angry with me, Em?" I ask her now.

"I'm not getting into all that." She says. "Talk to Jenny about that."

"But she won't talk to me man." I say frustrated.

"Wonder why!" She says and stops up. "You claim to like her and.."

"I don't fucking claim to like her!" I get angry now. "I do fucking like her!"

"Then you wouldn't go to your room with some fucking bitch at the same party Jenny was at." She hisses. Wait.. she was at the party? I didn't see her. I thought she never came.

"She.. she.. was at the party?" I frown confused.

"Yes, but I guess you were too caught up in bitches to notice." She rolls her eyes.

"I would never do that if I knew she was there." I say. I wouldn't do that to her, I wouldn't do anything to hurt her intentionally.

"But she was and I can't blame her for being angry." She says. "You're a fucking dick Marshall."

"I really screwed up." I say and run my hands down my face.

"Why do you even fuck other bitches if you really want a shot with Jenny?" She asks. I'm a man, I have needs.

"Come on Em, I don't even know if she's ever gonna be ready. I don't even know if I'm ready man. I thought me and Jenny agreed on this." I explain.

"She's more ready than you think." Emily says.

"Wait, what do you know?" I ask as she definitely knows something.

"It doesn't matter because you fucked up Marshall." She says and walks away from me now.

...

I hurry to the concert place and I see Jenny on the stage talking to one of the crew guys. I don't announce my appearance, I want to catch her a place where she can't just run away from me. I suddenly watch her go backstage and I decide to follow her, I see her walk into the resting room where we relax before we go on stage. I go in and Rachel turns around and look at me.

"Hi." She says coldly and I lock the door which makes her frown. "What are you doing?"

"We need to talk." I say to her.

"Marshall, I'm really busy and.."

"And I'm your boss so I think you're good." I say and she looks so irritated right now. "Are you gonna tell me why you're angry?"

"I'm not angry." She says.

"Really?" I ask. "Because you have barely spoke to me since Ireland."
