I hear laughing, screaming, and angry yelling. What the hell is everyone up to. I wake up and skip down stairs. Everyone stops and looks at me "good morning" Mikey smiles. I smile back and see Bryce with his face in his hands. Eh. "Okay yal I can't" Bradlee speaks up. "Look Genie" he hands me his phone. I look at it. It's a picture of me and Bryce holding hands on Twitter with a caption: omg I ship it #benie. My jaw drops. "This is only on Twitter right?" I ask. Jackson shakes his head. "Instagram, we heart it, Pinterest, there fan fiction on watt pad, Tumblr, Snapchat, and millions of re-tweets". Dead. I look at Bryce, this probably affecting his player reputation. Fuck boys don't hold hands. I run a hand through my hair. I hear laughter and my head turns to Bryce. Why is he laughing? "That's funny Benie really these guys have some imagination. Ouch. "You guys act like we'd ever date" he adds. Bradlee sucks air through his teeth. "Yeah come on I'd never date Bryce. Than again do players even date? No right just fuck in run? I didn't realize that I had raised my voice. I walk off the bus to get some air and cool down. Why did I react like that, why was I upset about him saying that? I hit my checks softly to wake myself up. Jenny comes off the bus to look at me. "What was that G" she ask. I didn't even realize they were in the room. Follows behind are Maddie and Valerie. I shrug. "Well forget it lets all go get ready for the show" Val insists. I agree we go back onto the bus and go upstairs. I do my makeup after showering and stuff. I decide to add highlighter. I slip into my cactus and some high waisted ripped shorts. I had a black choker. I do my hair in waves and put on a pink colored lip stain. Adding my avatar glasses atop my head.

I slip into my metallic platforms tennis shoes. And take one last look in the mirror. Cool. The girls and I go downstairs and I remember we're in Arizona. It's hot as hell. "Duckling" I hear and roll my eyes before I turn around "what?" I say sounding a little annoyed. "Can I talk to you a moment?" He says, I shrug. He grabs my hand and that familiar shiver goes up my spine. We go outside the bus and he looks at me. "I'm sorry Genie" I look off "but why did you get so offended" I remove my hand from his. "I wasn't offended I was just saying what you were saying" I lie. I honestly don't know why I got offended. He puts his finger under my chin so I look at him. "That's not what was saying" I look at him. He's to close for comfort. I realize that we're outside of the venue and fans are already here. So back away. Which doesn't help because I back into the bus. Bryce steps in front of me and puts his hands on either side of my head. Shit. "What did you think I meant" he's so close his lips are brushing me. "Exactly what you meant" I say trying to wiggle away. His hands grab my hips pushing me back against the bus. He's taller, and stronger than me. "What did I mean?" He ask. "That you didn't want to date a piece of trash like me. Dylan didn't want to and I'm sure you don't want to either" I say. I don't know if I lied or not. His grip loosens and I pull away from him. I didn't notice the guys and the girls standing there. My eyes fill with tears. One because of embarrassment. And two I don't know what that feeling is yet. I run towards the venue and Jenny, Maddie, and Valerie follow. I'm lost.
