Ben's P.O.V:
Pacing around the bus, I couldn't figure out if kicking Jenna off it was a good idea... I asked her to leave, and it wasn't in the nicest way either. Maybe some yelling was involved - you can't exactly blame me. Brad turning up with a bunch of flowers when I was just about to tell Jenna I love her? That's just too much.
After spending some time thinking about it, it was getting to me really bad so I decided to get dressed and go outside for a while. It was still early and our set wasn't for a few hours, so I walked around to see what else was happening. I stopped by our merch tent to see how the guys in my band were going.
"I see you're finally in the land of the living" Dani joked, walking over to me.
"I've been up" I shrugged, looking down as I kicked a stone around. "Had a bit of a fight with Jenna."
"So that's why she was crying?" Fil questioned, joining the conversation.
"She was what?" I asked, surprised at his words. The thought of that upset me, despite how already upset I was with Jenna.
"Uh, yeah. Big time. We assumed it was a personal thing. She was walking with some guy, we couldn't see who" Dani sighed, shaking his head as he continued. "We had no idea it was because of you."
"Well I'm sure you remember Brad, right?" I asked them as they all nodded.
"Yeah... What about that idiot?" Fil asked, tilting his head.
"Well he turned up knocking on the bus holding a bunch of flowers looking for Jenna. I assumed they were back together" I shrugged, explaining the situation.
"Maybe you should find out what's really going on. I reckon Jenna would know not to go out with him again, I mean, after everything he did" Dani assured me. "Maybe they're just catching up."
"Yeah, he's right. Don't worry about it" Fil added. "We need to play a good set today - we can't let something like this ruin it."
"Don't worry, I'll be better than ever today" I nodded, walking off to clear my mind and think everything over - yet again.

So what if Dani and Fil were right? What if Jenna isn't really going out with him? Maybe if I ask the guys in her band, they'd shed some light for me.
I decided to do just that and headed over to the bus. I had a feeling Jenna was probably still with Brad, so the coast should be clear. I knocked on their door, awaiting a response.
"Hey Ben, Jenna's not here at the moment. Would you like us to pass on a message?" Whak asked, eating his cereal.
"Uh, I've already spoken with her. I may have messed things up beyond fixing. Can I talk with you guys?" I asked, hoping he'd say yes. I really needed their perspective on this.
"Sure, come right in" Whak nodded as he let me in, guiding me down to the bunk area where the other guys were. "So how can we be of your help?"
"Well, is Jenna dating Brad again?" I asked, leaning against what I guessed was Jenna's bunk. "I'm assuming you guys know that he's here."
"Jenna dating Brad?!" Whak laughed, while the other guys joined in.
"What's funny? Am I missing something?" I asked them, furrowing my eyebrows.
"Trust me, I'm pretty sure part of her will never forgive him. They could be friends, but probably nothing more" Jake explained.
"The number of songs she wrote... I mean, she still warns our fans about people like him every time we perform Complexes" Cam added with a shrug. "So yeah, I think Jake's right."
