Second Chances

Tour

Hey guys sorry I skipped but there was nothing to really "happen" until tour so sorry but I hope you enjoy this!

Chapter 13: "Tour"

I couldn't make myself fall asleep the first night on the tour bus but now i was used to it and drifted to sleep quickly. The sound of the highway under the bus soothed me.

When i woke up no one else was up yet. I unlocked my phone trying to entertain myself until someone else woke up. I checked Instagram seeing my profile had grown more followers overnight again. It seemed crazy. I went from 50 followers to 5,000. It was literally nuts. I scrolled down my twitter feed and checked notifications from new followers. It amazed me that r5 fans knew who i was now.

The positive tweets made me smile stupidly to myself but not even half of them were positive. I really tried to ignore the "haters" but thats hard to do when theirs literally thousands of them blowing up my phone 24 hours a day. Most of the time I could brush them off or make up an excuse to myself as to why it shouldn't bother me but occasionally one caught my eye and would stick with me. todays lucky hater had words that brought back old memories.

"why would ross date this fat ugly hillbilly? doesn't he know shes a lying pig?"

I shut my phone off. As stupid as the tweet might have seemed it got under my skin. I tried to fall back asleep but soon the guys would be getting up.

I stood up from the bunk under Rydel's in our half of the bus. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and quick shower and when I got out everyone was eating breakfast.

"Hey gorgeous, what do you want to eat I'm up for anything." Ross's smile usually would've made me chuckle back but this time i just brushed it off

"Nah I'm good thanks anyways."

it got quiet and i made my way back to our bunk beds to change. i pulled on my yoga pants and one of ross's hoodies.

"hey can i come in?" ross voice seemed cautious behind the curtain.

"yeah sure its good."

"hey, whats wrong?" his face scowled as his eyes searched my face for an obvious sign of something wrong.

"nothings wrong why?" i stated blankly not looking up from my suitcase i was searching through.

"you aren't hungry or what?"

"yeah i ate a big supper last night and I'm not that hungry. besides I'm busy. its not a big deal."

He didn't say anything. i kept looking through my suitcase.

"is that it? cause i really need to find something and you're not helping me any." I barked

I turned to see his eyes wide and a surprised look on his face almost hurt. I didn't mean to snap at him but I don't need him constantly monitoring me like a baby. I have bigger things to worry about then breakfast. Why is he making this such a big deal? I just stared at him waiting for him to leave.

"well sorry" the words fell from his lips like rocks. each one impaling me deeper

"ross..." now i felt bad. i didn't wanna hurt him. i think being stuck on this stupid bus for four days is making me crazy. i need some fresh air.

When i heard them talking out there again i crawled back on my bed with what id been looking for; a bracelet my mom gave me last christmas. I latched it around my wrist and stared at the tiny heart that dangled from it. then I took out my notebook full of unfinished songs and lyric ideas. I reached for my guitar and lost track of time. before I knew it hours had passed and I hadn't moved.
