Jake's POV

                I know I told Amanda to drop the Kevin and Crystal subject, but even I knew she wasn't going to. We arrive in Sayreville for my sold out concert. I was surprised when a fan baked me a cake, though later we smashed Kevin's face into it and caused him to get cake in his retina. Oops? Later after my radio interview I get ready for my show that night. Right before I go on I corner Kevin.

                "You alright?" I ask him.

                "I'm fine." He says.

                "I'm just making sure man, break ups are hard." I say.

                "How would you know. You have your girlfriend." He says.

                "Yeah but we've broken up before and you know that." I say.

                "Whatever man. Let's just kill this show." he says before going on stage to take his place. I shrug and get ready to perform.

Amanda's POV

                When we arrive in Stroudsburg Pennsylvania, I find the guys picking on Kevin. It's terrible but I know they only do it cause he's the youngest. From there it just gets weird cause Jake's body guard Jeff uses Jake to "lift weights." Honestly, this tour team scares me sometimes. 

______________________________

We arrive in Pittsburg PA for back to back shows. I walk to the front of the bus after taking a shower before Jake's show to find out that him and Andres are gone.

                "Where are Jake and Andres?" I ask Megan who is staring out the window.

                "Look." She giggles. I look out the window to see Jake in line for his own concert wearing a disguise. Pretty soon girls recognize them and they run back onto the bus laughing.

                "You guys are weird." I say.

                "But you love me." Jake pouts.

                "I do." I giggle kissing him.

Jake flies through his first show and then flies through his second one. It's amazing how time flies while he's on stage.

                Our next show is Cleveland Ohio, which is also sold out. Before the show Jake plucks Kevin's leg hair off and I think he gave him a heart attack cause he jumped. I still haven't gotten the chance to talk to Kevin about him and Crystal, because Jake is always around. Jake told me to drop it but I can't. I want to know why they broke up. Jake's show ends and he meets fans. I take that opportunity to talk to Kevin. I find him laying on his bunk.

                "Can we talk?" I ask. he looks at me then back at his phone.

                "Kevin, I'm sorry you guys broke up." I continue.

                "So, it's just a break up." Kevin shrugs.

                "It's not just a break up. You really liked my best friend." I say.

                "Amanda, look. It's fine. She just can't handle me being gone a lot." He sighs.

                "I'm sorry." and honestly that's all I can say. I know how it feels, cause when Jake was recording I missed him but then again I went and visited him from time to time, Crystal hasn't.

                "Maybe you'll find another girl." I say.

                "Maybe." He says looking at me. "Jake's a lucky guy."

                "I know he is." I say as the tour bus opens. I hear Jake holler,

                "Woo! that was fun."

                "You better go…Don't want him to think something's up with us." Kevin rolls over.

I sigh. It's going to be a long rest of the tour.
