Twisted - Tangled Limbs Sequel (Shannon Leto Fanfiction)

Chapter 33

I stopped in the restroom before heading back to the bus. The bus driver, Jack, was standing outside having a smoke.

'Hey Missi. The show's over huh?'

'Yes. Can I bum one of those?'

'Sure' He replied and gave me one. 'How do you like touring so far?'

'I see why people get messed up. They need it to cope with all the fun.'

'Like it that much huh?' He laughed.

'Yeah.'

I finished my smoke and waved at Freddie before boarding the bus. I threw my shoes in the closet beside my bunk and crawled in. I was pretty much okay with the small space until I closed the folding door. I felt claustrophobic and grabbed my phone and earbuds. I put on some music and tried forgetting I was laying in something so confined it felt like a coffin.

I must have dozed off and the next thing I knew someone was touching me. My eyes flew open and Shannon was leaning in my bunk, so I pulled my earbuds out.

'I brought your bag. You left it in the dressing room.' He said.

'Thanks.' I replied.

'Are you okay?'

'Yes'

'Can I get in with you?'

'No'

'Why not?'

'There isn't room for me in here, let alone both of us.'

'It can be done.' He said grinning.

'It's not gonna be.' I said and rolled over so my back was to him.

I didn't want to think about how it could be done and how many women he'd done it with before me.

'You're pissed off, aren't you?'

'Just let it go Shannon. We can talk tomorrow.'

'If there's something wrong I wanna know now.'

'Please just let me sleep. I'm less than enthusiastic about anything right now but that.'

'Okay, give me a kiss goodnight.'

I rolled over and he held my cheek as he kissed me softly. Although it was the touch I'd wanted earlier, I rolled back toward the wall afterward. There were so many things I wanted to say to him, but it wasn't a good time to do so.

I heard him crawl in the bunk above me and I went back to sleep.

Again I was wakened, but this time it was by Brittany.

'Jared wants to talk to you.' She said quietly.

'Okay' I whispered and crawled out of the bunk.

Jared was in the back of the bus past the kitchen and he looked weary. Why he wanted to talk to me was a mystery.

'Close the door.' He said when Brittany and I went in. 'Brittany told me you had an unpleasant encounter this evening.'

'Yes'

'But you're okay?'

'Yes'

'I take it you didn't tell Shannon what happened.'

'No, definitely not.'

'I think that's wise for now. It would only cause hardship and I don't want Shannon going after him.'

'I don't want that either. That's why I don't plan on saying anything about it.'

'Good, I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.'
