California Girls, More Like Baltimore Boys,

Chapter 10: Rian You Bastard!

"JACK!" I yelled as I stormed into the dressing room. Half of Mayday Parade and Pierce The Veil were in here but no Jack. I groaned. 

"Where's Jack?" I asked more calmly now. They shrugged. "I think he might've gone to the bus but hey you were really good out there." Vic said. I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever." I said as I walked out. "RIAN YOU BASTARD!" I yelled. Zack laughed. I grabbed him by his shirt. "I'm not fucking kidding with you where is Jack?" I asked. 

"Calm down." He laughed. "No! I'm not gonna calm down! Ugh! Forget this!" I yelled. Tears streaming down my face now. "Wow wow, Stell what's the matter?" Zack asked as he put his hand on my back.

I pushed him away. "Leave me alone." I said before walking away. I don't know where I was going but it's gotta be better than here. I exited the venue and began walking down the street.

I took out my phone and texted Flyzik, asking when the bus would be leaving. 

A minute later he responded with "In an half hour. Where the hell are you?" 

I put my phone in my pocket and started walking back. If I even knew my way back it was so dark. The wind blew straight in my face and through my hair sending shivers down my back and arms. 

I wrapped my arms around myself trying to keep warm. I was walking for what seemed forever. Longer than it took to get where I last was. Maybe I missed my turn?

Probably. Great. I sighed and sat down on the edge of the sidewalk, my knees to my chest. I don't want to call anyone and ask for help. No matter how much I need it. 

I'd feel like such an idiot. My phone started to ring. My ringtone was just the sound of an old phone ringing since I don't listen to music. I sighed and answered it.

"Hello?" I asked. "Stella Joplin Flyzik, where the hell are you!" It was Matt. I groaned seeing no way out of this. "I don't know I'm lost." I admitted. "What street are you on?" He asked. I quickly ran over to the street light at the corner and read the sign that said Kolin. 

"Kolin." I replied. "How did you get that far?" He asked. I shrugged. "I don't know." I responded. "Whatever we'll be there in ten." He explained before hanging up. 

I sat under the street light so they'd see me. Again I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them to keep warm. 

Again the tears started to stream down my face. Ugh. I hate crying. I buried my head into my legs and began sobbing. I need to stop this. I never cry what is wrong with me. I started shivering too now, and my teeth were chattering.

A few minutes later something was placed on me. I looked over to my shoulder and saw a jacket, It smelled like Jack. Oh how I missed his scent. No matter how mad I was I couldn't help but miss him.

I looked up to see a very concerned face from Jack. "Ja-" 

He shook his head and put his hand out. I took his hand and he pulled me to my feet then helped me into his jacket. "Aren't you cold?" I asked. "It's fine, you need it more." He said.

We looked at each other in the eyes. He smiled some before wiping away some tears from my face. "Don't cry." He hugged me. I squeezed him tight, never wanting to let go.

I would've screamed at him for what he did but I didn't care anymore. I'd forgiven him. You can't stay mad at a guy like Jack. It's impossible. 

He pulled out of the hug then grabbed my hand and smiled before walking to the bus. He knocked on the door and Alex opened it a minute later. 

"Stella!" He smiled. "You had us all worried." He said. I looked over to Jack who was shivering. "Can you let us on, it's freezing out here." I said. 

He nodded and let us in. I closed the door behind me. I adjusted my glasses. I had almost forgot I was wearing them. 

"I'm surprised you didn't kill Jack." Rian said. I rolled my eyes as I got a poptart package out of the cabinet. "Whatever." I said. "Wearing his jacket too." He continued. I looked down at the jacket. 

"Oh yeah." I mumbled as I took it off. I walked over to Jack's bunk and opened it to find Jack.. cutting himself?
