I take a deep breathe as I step out into the terminal. I feel a hand on my back as Chris says, "You got this! Just breathe."
I scan the people in front of us and hear rather than see Jessa yelling and running toward us. I hug her tightly as she practically jumps on me. I've missed my best friend.
"Oh my gawd! You look amazing!" Jack walks up behind her casually, laughing.
"Look what the cat dragged in. Hey Dez!" He hugs me then glances at Chris, who is staring at him.
"Oh, I forgot. Chris, you know Jessa but this is her boy — I mean fiancee, Jack Fowler." Chris sticks his hand out to Jack
"I love your band, dude."
"Thanks."
"Okay before the fangirling starts can we go im starving." Jessa groans. I can't help but laugh. Same ole Jessa.
So after dropping our stuff off at Jessa & Jack's, we head to a small cafe that Jessa swears has the best food, which turned out to be absolutely true. I start to feel my anxiety melt away.
It felt like old times, listening to Jessa's crazy stories. Chris seemed to have clicked right off with Jack, talking guitar techs and band shit. Jessa was talking a hundred miles a minute trying to get me caught up on everyone.
"Justin's girlfriend is the cutest. She's so shy. Gabe, well he's flying solo for now and wait until you meet Jenna, Nick's girlfriend. She is the absolute best and we finally get to meet Kellin's plus one." I nearly choke on my pie.
"His.....what?" I say coughing.
"He's been spending a lot of time with some girl but no one has met her."
"You okay?" Chris asks.
"Yeah, just went down wrong." He looks at me with a peculiar look.
"Um, can we head back? I'm feeling kind of tired from the trip."
"Yeah, sure. We'll go pay." Jack and Chris stand up and head toward the counter.
"Hey, sorry I didn't mean to bring up Kells. I thought you were okay since you have Chris and all." Jessa says apologetically.
"No, its okay! My food just went down wrong! I'm happy for him and that he found someone." I plaster a smile on my face.
"Same ole Dez" Jessa says after shaking her head at me.
As soon as I close the door in the room, Chris speaks, "Spill it! What's going on?"
"What?"
"Why the sudden fake tired act?"
"I am tired! Ass! " I throw myself back on the bed. He walks over and lays down by me on his side.
"Are you sure, you're okay with this? Seeing everyone again?" I sigh. Was I okay?
"Yeah, I think so! That was a long time ago and I'm good, plus I have you." I smile up at him. He leans down and places a soft kiss on my lips.
"I'll be right here if you need me" He whispers.
"I know." I whisper back but have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that things are gonna get rocky soon
