I opened my eyes a few hours later and the bus was going pretty fast. It seems I shut my music off in my sleep because it wasn't playing when I woke up. I climbed out of the bunk and put my slippers on. I hit my head on the top and collapse to the ground.
"Shit," I curse.
Justin rushes to me panicked.
"What the hell are you doing? Are you okay?"
I nod and sit up.
"This is gonna have a really bad bump," I frown.
He helps me stand all the way up and takes me to the back of the bus with the rest of the guys. Once we walk in the small room, I'm greeted cheerfully.
"Good morning sunshine," Jack yells.
"Good morning Jack," I laugh.
I take a seat next to Gabe and he gives me a high five. All of our gazes turn to the bathroom door when it opens. Kellin emerges from the bathroom and makes eye contact with me. I stare at him being sure to show the fury in my eyes. He smirks and leaves the room.
"Okay that wasn't weird at all," Gabe laughs.
"Yeah what was that all about anyway?" Jesse asks from across the room.
I shrug my shoulders, "I wouldn't know either."
But I knew. I knew all too well.

A few hours later it was time for the boys show. We were inside a really large theatre somewhere in Cleveland. I'm not sure but it was really nice. I pull out my phone and snap a picture to tweet.
@JazzoHills: So proud of my big brother, I love you doofus!
I put my head down as I scroll through twitter. One tweet caught my eye, it was from Kellin.
@Kellinquinn: she's pretty in the morning
What?
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I ran into a drum set, falling over. Jesse emerges and runs to me.
"Jasmine what are you doing?" he laughs.
I open my mouth to speak, but I'm interrupted by the most melodic laugh I've ever heard in my life. My head turns toward the sound and I freeze. Kellin.
"She can't even keep her balance on a stage and she's riding in a tour bus for a few months?" he laughs even harder.
My cheeks burn bright and I bite my lip in frustration.
"You know Kellin, I'm suprised," I say smiling.
"About what?" he says raising an eyebrow.
"That this stage is large enough for you and your gigantic ego. Bravo! At least you're trying to make it work."
Jesse bursts into laughter and some of the crew laugh too. Kellin narrows his eyes at me and sighs.
"You know, I really don't think you should go there Jasmine."
"I already went there Kellin," I smile.
I give him a small sarcastic wave and leave the stage. If the theatre wasn't empty, I'm sure I would've gotten a huge round of applause.
I'm in a small room and after awhile it gets loud, fans are screaming and doing god knows what. I hear music in the background. That's a cue that the show is gonna start rather soon. I get up taking a bottle of water with me and stand on the side of the stage.
The lights go down and I smile as Jack appears next to me.
"You ready dude?" I ask him.
"Hmm not really," he says.
"Do it now, remember it later," I say.
He bursts into fits of laughter and I laugh with him.
"That was very cheesy, but I feel better," he laughs.
"Good!"
After that they all walk on stage and start playing Four Corners and Two Sides which is my personal favorite. I smile when I see Justin playing his bass and smiling. I snap a few pictures of him to tweet later.
"They say I'm a sinner, but nobody knows. You only do what you're told! You better hope that you're right!"
I didn't realize I was dancing until I make eye contact with Jesse. He shakes his head at me, but I didn't care. I danced the night away while they played.
After the show they all rush backstage. I smile when my older brother embraces me.
"I'm so proud of you," I say with tears in my eyes.
"Now now, no need to cry over little old me," Justin says in a mock tone.
"Baby," Kellin says under his breath.
I choose to ignore it and give Justin another hug.
"Alright who's up for going out tonight?" Jesse yells.
All the boys cheer.
"What do you say Jas?" Jack asks me.
"No I'm a little tired, I'll stay and keep the bus company."
Like I would really intrude on their outing.
"Suit yourself," Justin said, "Let's go boys!"
I make my way back to the bus and climb into my bunk. I grab my suitcase and take to the bathroom. Might as well shower while the boys are gone.
Kellin's POV ~
We were walking to the nearest bar around and I honestly wasn't feeling it tonight. I stop walking and glance back. The bus isn't that far away from where we are now. I could walk back.
"Hey guys, I'm gonna head back to the bus."
"Party pooper!" Jesse screams.
"I don't feel all too good," I say shrugging my shoulders.
Jack gives me a look that's foreign to me. He raises an eyebrow and I cock my head to one side. I ignore it and turn to walk back.
"Bye Kellin," Jack said smirking.
"Bye?"
I pull my phone out of my pocket and check the time. It s a little before 11 so I decide to tweet while I'm on my stroll. I've been admiring Jasmine from afar lately. She's beautiful and she thinks I hate her. I kind of do, but she's just so beautiful. Her features are in all the right places and it's intriguing.
@Kellinquinn: you have some kinda affect on me
The tweet sends and I look up to see I'm right in front of the bus. I walk in side and pull my coat off. My head snaps up when the curtain moves aside and her eyes widen when mine do.
She's only wearing a towel.
