All That I Have, All That I Need

Chapter seven

We've just arrived at the arena in Melbourne, the trip was so fucking boring and I had a major headache the entire time. Anyways, I hopped out of the van and Chloe, Griffin and I made our way to our assigned dressing room where we could put our stuff for now. "You excited for tonights gig?" Griffin asked Chloe and I. "I'm so pumped ohmygosh, y'know guys this is supposed to be one of our biggest turn outs on the entire tour." Chloe replied excitedly. I felt my breath hitch in my throat as I was reminded of not just how important this show would be for our career, but how many people will be staring at us for a full hundred twenty minutes. To simplify it, I was shook.

Since nobody else was in the room at the moment, I decided to look at myself in the dressing room mirror. It looks like the dark circles under my eyes had gotten darker from my lack of sleep, my skin was still pimple free though so that's a good thing. I took a step back to look at my entire body, my stomach is still pretty flat and pale, my butt looks pretty nice, round as usual. I got a text on my phone that snapped me out of my thoughts, it was from Chloe, just telling me where she was, okay.

I eventually got bored of sitting alone in my dressing room so I decided to go to the lounge area where everyone would most likely be hanging out. I tied the laces of my dark blue low top converse and walked out of my room, turning a couple of corners and walking into the lounge, I was right, everyone was there, including Debby. I looked over at her, she was practically melting into Joshua, she was so fucking close to him. I pretended not to care though, if she wants to play like that, she can. I took a seat on the other side of Josh, so that he was in the middle of Debby and I. He glanced over at me with a pleading look, I looked over at Debby and she gave me the nastiest glare I'd ever seen, I shrugged it off. "Hey Tatum, I'm going to the bathroom, join me?", Debby basically demanded me, giving me a toxic grin. "Uh sure I guess.", I shrugged, getting up and following her to the women's room. "I know what you're doing." She stated bluntly as we abruptly stopped in front of the washroom. "Excuse me?", I questioned, oblivious to what she was talking about. "Oh please, don't act coy." She barked at me. I gave her a questioning look and she let out an exasperated sigh before replying. "I'm talking about Joshua. You obviously have a thing for him and I'm just telling you now; You better stay the fuck away from him, he's mine, lowlife bitch.",  She said agressively. "Or else what? Oooh yeah, I'm so fucking scared of you!" I mocked, laughing at her pettiness. "Nice chat, Deborah." I chuckled, turning on my heels and walking away, flipping my hair sassily. I wasn't scared of that disney channel whore.

I entered the room again and Tyler looked at me with wide eyes, as if he'd heard the entire conversation between Debby and I. I didn't really pay him much mind and quickly walked over to where Josh was sitting, taking the seat next to him and letting him wrap his arm around my shoulders to get Debby to back off, since he wanted to and I didn't mind. I snuggled into his side and conversation sparked up between everyone, Debby came in a few minutes later, looking pretty pissed. I simply ignored her and started talking to the new girl who was tagging along on tour. Her name was Ashley and she had the nicest blue hair I'd ever seen, she was also super funny so we got along quite well.

After the show tonight, I was pretty pooped. I took a quick shower and changed into my twenty one pilots shirt that Tyler gave to me along with some grey sweats and my oversized  Ohio state sweatshirt. I tied my hair into a messy top knot and went to go sit in the lounge. After awhile of watching trashy tv and eating gummy worms, Josh came over and sat right next to me. "Oh hello there, Joshua." I greeted with a little smile, until I realized that I wasn't wearing makeup and prolly looked like a sewer rat. I tried covering my face with my sweater paws, especially my freckle infested cheeks, but Josh just moved them away from my face. "Don't cover up your face, if we're gonna date I'll most likely see you without makeup a lot plus you still look cute all bare faced and freckly." he said, poking my dimpled cheek gently, making me cringe slightly. I looked at him properly, he was wearing some baggy but cute grey sweatpants, kinda like mine. He was also wearing a black 'Thrasher' sweater that looked super adorable on him. He scooted closer to me and put his arm around me again, it was super comfy and he was really warm so I moved closer to him as well, snuggling into his side and resting my head on his shoulder. "So what're we watching?", he asked, looking at the tv then glancing at me. "Oh, I was just watching Keeping up with the Kardashians, 'cause it was just on n' I was too lazy to change the channel." I mumbled softly. He hummed and nodded in response, we just chilled there for awhile, cuddling and eating gummy worms for about four hours. When I checked his snapchat story, there were a bunch of candid pictures of me either looking super comfy or not paying attention to Josh and staring at the tv. I guess it was only fair since I had taken a huge amount of sneaky pictures of Josh while he wasn't paying attention and posted them on my snapchat as well, how could I resist?!
