Brittany's POV

I walk into the rehearsal area for the upcoming tour and see that half the cast is already here. I yawn and hug the girls and say hello to the boys. "Hey Brittany!" Jordon says with her smile.

"Hey!" I reply and continue drinking my coffee. "Good morning Brittany!" Alex says and hugs me. "Hi Alex." I smile hugging her back. I see Trevor whisper something in Jordan's ear. I get a little curious on what it could be.

After everyone arrives we start warming up. I go into the splits while laughing with Victoria. "I can't wait for the tour!" She squeals. "Same here." I reply happy. "Ok, Trevor and I have to tell you something. Family channel has decided that there will be only one Jiley duet to make time to interact with the audience." Jordan explains. I hear some awws but other then that no one spoke. I was a little relieved that I didn't have to do to Jiley duets. I couldn't think anymore because Trevor spoke and I had to listen. "Jordan and I will show you the opening act."

Jordan and Trevor showed us the entire routine in under 5 minutes but they taught us little by little. Jordan told us we could come up with our solo parts. I started to work on mine and at the end of the day, the dance was pretty clean. I wiped the swipe of my forehead and took a sip of my water and I grabbed my bag and started putting some of my stuff in it.

I said goodbye to the people who were leaving. It was just Jordan, Trevor and myself left about a half and hour after rehearsals ended. Mondays were the days I stayed and helped clean up the rehearsal area.

Each of the cast were assigned different days and I got Monday. I picked up some trash and stacked the chairs, etc.

Jordan left the room to take a phone call and it became very quiet. None of us spoke for a while until Trevor brought it up. "Can we talk now?" He asks sincere.

"Here? This isn't very private." "Well no one is here." He says looking around. He sits down on the floor and he motions for me to come to him.

I walk toward him and sit down. He puts his hand over my back and I lean my head against his shoulder. "So what has been bothering you?" He asks softly. "Can I just enjoy this moment?" I ask closing my eyes. He chucked and replied with a yes.

I could tell he was getting impatient because I felt him getting tense after a while of silence.

"Trevor, I am-" I start but hear Jordan come back. I quickly stop leaning my head against Trevor and stand up.

"Are you guys ready?" She asks. "Yea, See you tomorrow guys!" I wave, grab my bag and walk out to my car.

I unlock the door and start the car. I threw my bag in the passenger seat and backed out of the empty parking lot. It only took me 25 minutes to get home and once I did, I took a long, hot shower. I dried my hair, changed into my pyjamas and did my skin care routine.

I sat on my couch and read one of my books. I was really tired so I didn't get very far into it. I opened my laptop and checked emails. I had one from TNS. I needed to do an interview this coming Friday at 10am. I replied to them and I put it on my schedule.

I crawled into bed and dozed off quickly. When I opened my eyes, it was bright. I glanced at the clock and it read 8:27am. I don't give it a second thought till I realized I was late. I was 2 hours late. I forgot to set my alarm.

I picked up my phone and I had at least a dozen text messages from the cast asking where I was.

I race to get ready and that took a half an hour and 25 minutes just to get there. I skipped breakfast because I barely had anytime to do my makeup.

I arrive at the building in 45 minutes due to the morning traffic. I grab my stuff and run inside. I push open several doors to get to the rehearsal room. When I open the door that leads into that room everyone stared at me.

"There you are. I was worried." Jordan says coming toward me. "No I just over slept by accident." I say. "Typical Brittany." Trevor jokes. "That is so not true. Name one time." "Well, the next step filming, the cast party, other tours, you fell asleep on the tour bus and didn't wake up till 2pm. I can go on if you want." Trevor says making a point.

"Ok, maybe I oversleep a few times." I say shoving him. He doesn't move so I shove him again. This time he takes a step back. "Do you want to do your little push and shove thing like Riley, Raymond?" He teases. I shove him one more time and laugh. I give him a hug like Riley did in season 4. I let go and get in position to dance.

"Brittany, you know the rules." He said. I playfully whine and go stretch for a couple minutes while everyone takes five. "Did you really oversleep?" I hear a voice say behind me. "Yea, I did." I reply to Trevor. "Just don't do it again." He says patting my shoulder and walking away. I couldn't tell if he was joking or being serious.

I take my spot and start dancing. When I do my solo, I wasn't really paying attention and I trip and fall hard. I smacked my head on the floor and the last thing I saw was Jordan running up to me.

When I wake up I see the paramedic in my face. He asked me questions and I answered them correctly. My head hurt really bad so he gave me some ice. I was still in the rehearsal building so I guess my accident wasn't too bad. He helped me stand up and gave me water.

I wanted to go home. I reenter the rehearsal room and everyone rushes up to me asking a million questions. I can't think that well so I asked them to give me some space, which they did. I told them I was going home to rest but they insisted I shouldn't drive by myself.

Victoria offered to take me home and I accepted. She dropped me off and made sure I had everything and I went to sleep, probably because of the medicine the paramedic gave me.

The only time I woke up was when I heard knocking. I slowly got up and answered the door.

"Hi."
