Broken Strings

Chapter Eight

"You stalked their asses." Cara comments.

I shoot her a death glare. Well I shot my computer screen a death glare. But thanks to modern technology she received the image crystal clear.

"I looked them up. I did not stalk them." I explain for the billionth time.

"You are only three days into you tour and you have stalked your support groups fine asses." Cara said in a matter of factly tone.

"I'm four days into the tour. We're already done the first venue." I inform her smiling.

Today was moving day. That meant that our team have to pack up everything while Hayden, The Fault boys and I have to do nothing. These were my favourite days.

"How are you not dead? You cannot survive on little sleep. You turn into a zombie." Cara looked purely shocked. I don't blame her though, she is right.

"Caffeine." I tell her turning the camera around, showing the many Starbucks cups lying on our tour bus floor.

"That explains it. So got your eyes on any of The Fault boys?" Cara asked. She always was a gossip.

"The drummer is just." That is literally all a girl has to say for her friend to understand.

"Fletcher?"

I nod at the screen and she smiles.

"He is very cute." Cara agrees with me.

"Who's cute?" I jump around to see The Fault boys pouring into my tour bus. Fletcher leading the way.

"What are you guys doing here?" My voice goes high from shock.

Luke waves a paper bag in my face.

"Breakfast." He says throwing it into my bunk beside me.

"I already I ate." I lie turning my nose up at the food.

I swing my legs over the edge of my bunk and jump down. Bringing the laptop with me I sit down on the couch between Fletcher and Josh.

"So who's cute?" Fletcher presses. He casually throws his arm around me.

Cara smirks from the screen and I narrow my eyes at her. Josh notices the not-so-subtle glances and grins at us.

"Dylan O'Brien." Cara quickly says shrugging.

Fletcher looks over my shoulder at the screen.

"Is that Cara Johnson?" He asks.

All of a sudden Josh's interest has peaked.

"Yes it is hon." Cara smiles at Fletcher.

Suddenly all the boys look at Josh. When I look at him I notice the slight red tint on his cheeks. I look at Fletcher for explanation.

"Celebrity crush." Fletcher leans in and whispers. This time I go red.

"Well on second thought I might just have that food. Josh will you talk to Cara for me?" I plop the laptop on his lap before he can answer.

Josh stammers out random syllables and I can hear Cara laughing. I walk over and sit beside Luke.

"You seriously not going to eat the food I bought you?" Luke asks.

"You actually bought it?" I raise an eyebrow at him.

"Of course I did. It's not like I stole it." He rolls his eyes at me.

"What's got you all grumpy?" I ask pinching his cheeks.

It's actually him scowling at me for a change.
