Thank You #Bandlife (MKTO, E3, JG)

I love you

LIZ'S POV

I walked on to Tonys bus like I always did. Malcolm wasn't there. I found Tony in the back bedroom laying on his bed with one of his hands tucked behind his head. He turned his head to face me as I stood in the doorway. A smile crossed his face. I ran and jumped onto his bed, spreading out my body. I landed next to him. He leaned over and kissed my lips gently, pulling at my bottom lip.

"How was the club?" he asked.

"It wasn't a club. It was a house party" I explained.

"Oh" he said in confusion "did you still have fun?" he asked.

"It was okay. Good to see Ari but I really missed you" I said.

He leaned up and kissed me again, this time twice. I dared to tell him about Keaton. It felt wrong to keep something from him, but I knew it wasn't a big deal.

I woke up early, well earlier than Tony. I got up, pulled on Tonys sweatshirt, grabbed one of his cigarettes from the table, and went outside the bus. I rarely smoked but it didn't hurt every once in a while. I lit the cigarette with a liter I found in the pocket of Tonys jacket. I leaned against the bus. Keaton suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Goodmorning" I said, as I turned away.

"Mornin'" he said loudly.

He took the cigarette from between my fingers and flicked it on to the ground. I raised an eyebrow. He came closer and closer, quickly. He pinned both of my arms against MKTO's bus. I turned away, and tried to break free. His strength was unbearable, I couldn't break his grip. He swiped his lips gently across my cheeks, getting closer to my lips. I squirmed away.

"Keaton, stop. I have a boyfri-" before I could finish the door of the bus swung open.

Keaton took a few steps back, and Tony took a few steps forward.

"What's going on here?" asked Tony as he stepped torward me.

He must have seen what had happened.

"I just came out for a smoke" I said although my cigarette was crushes beneath Keaton's foot.

"I came over to say hello" said Keaton.

I shot him a dirty look. Tony noticed. Tony looked down over Keaton.

"Any thing wrong? Any problems, you let me know" said Tony, talking to me, yet looking at Keaton.

Tony walked back inside, like nothing even happened. Keaton pinned me against the bus, again.

"Where were we?" he whispered.

I tried to pull away with all of my strength. The door swung open again. It was Tony. Again.

"I saw that you bastard" he said as he went for Keaton.

"Woah man, calm down" said Keaton backing away "just having a little fun"

"You touch her again, I swear I'll kill you" said Tony in a harsh manner.

Tony grabbed Keatons shirt and wrapped it in his fists.

"Do you understand?" Tony asked.

Malcolm came running over, he pulled me behind him.

"What's going on?" asked Malcolm.

"He was just leaving" Tony said releasing Keaton, pushing him away.

Once Keaton was out of sight, Tony came up to me. He brushed the hair out of my face and tucked it behind my ear. He leant his forehead against mine.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" he whispered.

"I'm fine" I said.

"I saw him kissing you. I got really mad. I didn't mean to freak out like that" said Tony. "You weren't in on it were you? Like cheating... on me?"

"Tony... you actually think-" I couldn't even finish my sentence "I can't believe you'd even think that" I said as I bowed my head and slowly walked away.

He grabbed my shoulder and spun me around. He wrapped me in his arms and gave me one of his big bear hugs. He leant his chin on my head and rubbed his hand up and down my back.

"I-I-I didn't mean it like that. I know you. I was just making sure. I just want you to know that as long as you're okay, I'm okay." he said softly.

I snuggled my head into his chest. He held me tighter. The morning sun was warm against our bodies.

"I love you" he said.

"I love you too" I replied.

I realized then, that had been the first 'I love you' I'd ever shared with anyone. It made me feel special. It made him feel special. It made US feel special.
