Skylar's POV

"Are you ready for the show tonight?" Hunter asks as we all relax in the hot tub. 

"I know I am," I smile looking at Zach. He hasn't said anything to me since I came. Not even a how are you or a hello. 

"Me too," Mark smiles. He wraps his arms around my neck which makes Joey tense up. I grab his hand in reassurance before taking Marks arm off from around me. 

"What's up with you?" He asks as he shoots me a confused and hurt look.

"I'm not into you like that," I shrug. His look turns from confusion and hurt to just hurt. 

"I'm sorry. But I don't want to be on this tour if all I'm going to get is hit on," I groan as I stand up and climb out of the hot tub. I grab a towel and wrap it around my waist and put on my flip-flops before storming out of the pool room. 

"Sky," A voice calls behind me. I turn around to see Zach. 

So what? Now Joey can't support his own girlfriend? 

"You ok?" He asks as he jogs to catch up with me. 

"No! I'm tired of just being looked at as someone to hook up with. I want to be seen as a human!" I groan. 

"Hey, I get it. It's ok," He says as he wraps his arms around me. I take a deep breath. He smelled like chlorine. 

"I just. It's too much right now. Blake literally just dumped me," I sigh.

"But that isn't stopping you from getting with Joey," Zach says as he cocks his head to the side. My breathing hitches. 

"I'm not- How did you-" I start but he cuts me off.

"It's obvious. The way you look at him. I looked at you like that at one point," He sighs as he runs his hand through his hair. I decide to ignore the last part. 

"Just... Don't tell anyone about that until Joey and I come out," I sigh looking at him. He nods and sighs. 

"Can you tell Joey to meet me in my room?" I ask trying to break the silence. He takes a deep breath before saying "Sure" as he breathes out. I thank him before turning around and continuing the walk to my room. One thing stays on my mind as I sit on the bed waiting for Joey. 

I looked at you like that at one point.

So this is trash! I'm sorry!
