Alex's POV

***back on the tourbus***

We decided to go to the next venue without jack. Matt said he had it under control and made a few phone calls. Rian then said he would send cassadee to stay with him when they found where he is at. Honestly i don't feel bad for what i said. He is just jealous of what i have. My mind spoke it all but deep down my heart pounded a diffrent beat. Regret soon started to build up in me. But this is my bestfriend im talking about. He was half right about lisa sometimes she could be a bitch. But sometimes....right? flashbacks came to my head of all those times lisa cheated on me and i got back with her. All those times jack was there by my side watching bad chick flicks with me having sleepovers with me even though we are both grown men. The times he hugged me and told me that everything would be ok. The day me and him both pinky promised to eachother in 5 grade to be bestfriends forever no matter what. Tears were welling up in my eyes. I love jack to death and now i have ruined it. I only got back with lisa to try to forget the fact that jack is the only one i love and the only one i want to be with. I know he doesn't feel the same way, but the fact that i just lost my besfriend stings. No stop snap out of it alex. You love LISA not JACK. Remember what lisa said. Jack DOESN'T even like you. He never did. SHe even heard him say it. I snapped out of it and silence filled the room besides the sound of the bus moving. Everyone was in their bunks asleep. I was in the back lounge, not being able to sleep. I heard a curtain open and i wiped any tear i had away. Rian then knocked on the door and opened it. "Hey." he said quitely. "Hi." i said. He then got in and closed the door to the back. He walked towards the couch and sat down next to me. We both sat in silence until he spoke up. "Look, i don't know what happened between you and jack. But the other day while you and lisa were out getting icecream your bestfriend was on the bus crying." I looked up at him. He stared at me like a mom looking at their child as if they had just done something she told them not to. "What?" i said confused. "You heard me. balling his eyes out. I sat there hugging him for god knows how long until he stopped. And im pretty sure he was crying even wayy before that too because he had shades on. And we all know that jack is either A. wasted or hungover or B.  has been crying whenever he wears shades." he said looking at me serious. He then got up and pat me on my back while i looked down. "You better fix it now that you can or else it will always be like this." he said leaving me alone again. Jack was crying? But why? How did i not notice? i guess i was too busy being with lisa that i didn't even ask to check if my bestfriend was ok. I checked the time and it was about to be 3 am. I went to the restroom and washed my face. When the bus suddenly came to a stop. I got out and and looked out the window. We were at a gas station. I put on my shoes and a jacket then got off. I catched up to our bus driver. "Hey man. Don't take off without me." i said smiling at him. "Alrighty." he said smiling. We both walked in the store and he went to the restroom. I got some chips and three rockstars. I then walked to the ice cream section getting ben and jerrys. I went to go pay and i got a pack of gum while i was at it. I was walking off when i saw lisa outside the bus. I furrowed my eyebrows. She then hunged up the phone and looked around. I catched up to her and called her name out. "Lisa. What are you doing out here?" she then looked in my direction wide eyes. "Oh alex hey. umm i was just outside um calling my mom..?" she said uncertain. "Um ok? Well then go back inside. Here take these in put it on the table and head back up to bed." i said looking at her not believing her. What if she is cheating? was the first thing that popped in my head. She nodded and grabbed the things going back in the bus. I took a deep breathe in, inhaling the fresh air. I really don't want to deal with lisa right now. I walked around a bit and i saw our bus driver talking to the cashier laughing. I saw him then starting to make coffee. I got ontop of the bus climbing the ladder. Sitting on the edge letting my legs hang off. I saw max our bus driver walking out the store sitting on a bench on the side. He then took out his phone and started calling someone. Im guessing his wife. He then put the phone to his ear and looked up at me waving and smiling. I smiled back and waved. I layed down looking at the stars. They seemed so perfect. I wonder where jack is at right now. I thought to myself. I hope he is ok. I could hear max talking on the phone. I was up there for a while then i heard a "i love you" then he hung up. I sat up and looked over at him. He closed his eyes with a smile on his face. He then got his coffee and got up stretching. I started to climb down the ladder and i hoped off the last two steps. I walked towards him. "How's your wife?" i asked. He smiled. "Oh she is fine. She misses me and well.. i miss her too. But i have a job." He said. I nodded. We started to walk to the bus and he put his arm around my shoulder with his free hand. "How are you kid? You seem bothered." he asked. "Ah just you know alot of things have happened these couple of days." i said. Putting my hands in ny jacket."You know..jack will be just fine." he said. I looked up at him."He is a bright kid. Don't you worry now. "I know." i said. He patted my shoulder and let go. "Get some sleep we have a bit more to go." he said opening the bus door. "Okay." i said getting in. I got jacks pillow and one of my extra blankets and layed in the back lounge. I had to admit. I missed jack.

I put on my headphones and put on "Always attract" by you me at six.

Then my body shifted a bit and the bus started to move.
