"Hey Jordan?"
"Yeah?"
"I need y..you."
I tried to choke back my tears, but they rolled down my face anyway. My vision turned blurry so I squeezed my eyes shut as I continued to sob and then I felt Jordan's arms wrap around me. He whispered soothing things to me and calmed me down, then he pulled back and made me look at him. He leaned in and kissed me, then wiped away my tears. I was taken aback, but without thinking twice I pulled him back in and we kissed again. His lips were super soft and gentle and moved in perfect synch with mine. I didn't want the moment to end. Of course though, the kiss was cut short when Rob walked in and Jordan pulled away abruptly. He quickly told us what we needed to know and then left. I tried to pull him close to me again, but instead he got up and left. I broke down again and buried my face in my pillow. All of a sudden I was being shaken awake by Cameron and told to get ready. I responded by grunting at him and burying my head further into the pillows. Before I knew it, the entire band was in the room yelling at me to get up. I slowly pulled myself away from the bed and grabbed the closest pair of jeans, vans, glamour kills shirt, and a beanie and followed them out the door. I pulled Jordan aside and asked him what earlier meant, he said he didn't know but locked hands with me and pulled me towards the rest of the guys. No one questioned us and we were fine until we got to the meet and greet we were doing today. The moment one fan saw us, they started screaming and triggered everyone else to turn and look. Jordan didn't let go though so I went with it. Once we were inside, we quickly got ready and prepared ourselves.
It wasn't too bad and when no one was talking to me I'd lean on Jordan. I'm pretty sure I overheard a couple fans saying how they "shipped" us, which made me laugh. I'd heard all about the Taylex ship but that's been over for years, even though it still feels like yesterday, and that's the last time anyone shipped me with anyone else so I couldn't help but smile. Jordan noticed and asked, to which I responded by kissing him on the cheek and then going back to signing things. As the last group of fans came up, Jordan wrapped one arm around me and pulled me closer. One fan even asked me if we were together and Jordan chimed in saying yes, which made me blush and the fan about screamed with excitement. As soon as I had signed my last poster, I got up to go but apparently Jordan had another plan. The second I stood, he wrapped his arms around me and made me sit on his lap. It took me off guard, so I wound up making a yelp sound and all he did was smirk. I started laughing and I don't know what he was doing, but all of a sudden we were both on the ground. This only made me laugh harder and as I looked around, I noticed everyone had jumped up and looked extremely worried. Then I noticed that Jordan wasn't laughing, or making any sound whatsoever. I spun around to see he was deathly silent and holding his foot. We got his shoe off and realized we needed to take him to the hospital since it didn't look good and was starting to swell up. I ran to get ice and started applying it to his ankle, while Cameron ran to get the car. We all got Jordan into the car and then to a doctor as quickly as possible. We couldn't waste any time since our show starts in three hours.
Turns out I landed directly on top of his ankle when we fell and it was fractured. The doctor strongly advised Jordan to sit out for the show just to be safe and surprisingly he agreed. The second we were outside waiting for the rest of the guys to pick us up, since they left to go do a sound check, he told me he was playing tonight. I tried to protest, but he was hellbent on performing so I let it go. We got to the gig just in time for me and Jordan to do a sound check with our equipment before the doors opened. We did a quick run through of everything and got Jordan set up to where he could sit and play for the entire set. We headed backstage to warm up and do any last minute things that needed to be done. I peeked out to see the entire place packed full of kids and got super stoked. We headed onstage and I had to help Jordan get everything just right.
"So I'm sure you guys are wondering why Jordan's wearing a boot and will be sitting for tonight's show. We had a little incident after the meet and greet today..."
"Thanks to your heavy ass that is."
"Oh shut up, I don't weight that much. Plus you could easy pick me up without exerting any energy so don't even."
"Hey lovebirds, y'all can fight later, let's get this show started!" Mike interjected.
"Okay, we're gonna kick this show off with the second single from our new album."
I quickly flipped Mike the bird and then I started clapping to get us going. It made Mike crack a smile while the song started and the crowd sang every word along with me. It was exhilarating and as I sang "You'll crack just like the rest when I break your fucking jaw!" the entire place went insane. We finished the show with Kiss Me Again, which was kind of bittersweet since my mind flickered back to performing that song with Alex and all those conflicted feelings rushed back to me. I pushed passed that and focused on the fact that Jordan was singing it with me and at the end, every fan in the building chanted, "kiss, kiss, kiss." Jordan stood and carefully walked towards me without my knowing. He put his arms around me and passionately kissed me in front of everyone. It was an amazing feeling and everyone "awed" at the same time which made us both laugh and reluctantly break apart. Backstage I was greeted by Vic who I hadn't seen in about a year since they've been on tour. He was with a blonde girl who looked vaguely familiar.
"Hey Tay, I want you to meet Jenna McDougall from Tonight Alive."
"Hi, nice to meet you."
Her smile and accent sent shivers up my spine. She was gorgeous. I've never been attracted to a girl, but I really wanted to kiss her, it was the weirdest feeling.
"Hi, nice to meet you as well."
"So I remember you saying you wanted to tour with another girl since you've been stuck with nothing but guys for at least two years now. Then yesterday Jenna came to me asking if I knew anyone getting ready to tour and you were my first thought. I figured why not set you guys up together since you both could use another band to tour with." Vic added.
"If you wanted to anyway, it's not a big deal if you don't though.."
Again with the shivers. Every time she looks at me or speaks or smiles, I get goosebumps. She didn't succeed in hiding the disappointment in her voice as she said that last part which broke my heart a little.
"I'm down with that, it'd definitely be nice to have a little more girl power to balance out all the guys. Lemme run it by the guys and then I can give you a definite answer."
"Okay, there's no hurry."
"How long are you in town?"
"Just until tonight."
"Hell, do you just want to come with me to talk to my guys?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Vic, you wanna come with?"
"Nah, I'll let you girls have fun. Jenna, if you need a ride or anything just give me a call."
And with that I was left alone with Jenna. It took everything I had not to stare at her. We walked and made small talk on the way back to our hotel. The guys were on board with the idea almost instantly after learning that it would be an international tour once they joined us. I couldn't believe this was actually happening. After three hours of hanging out with all of us, Jenna called up Vic so he could take her to the airport so she could go home. I was kinda sad to see her go, but I knew I'd see her again soon. If her band is as laid back as she is, this will be one kick ass tour. I literally cannot wait for it to start now. The last thing I remember was snuggling up with Jordan and drifting off to sleep. It was the perfect way to end an almost perfect day.**Author's Note**
Okay so I'm only gonna update every once in awhile since school sucks and takes up a majority of my time nowadays. But anyhoo, back to the story, I hope you like it and if you have any suggestions/ comments, those are always greatly appreciated. I guess that's it for now. Happy reading! :)
