John's P.O.V
I really had to choke my laughter, as Swan searching for the rest room, barely able to walk with his boner. "See ya later Swan!" I yelled,as he just waved and disappeared around the corner. For a second I wanted to call Ivy as looking at the booth, but then I would risk it, if Flea would come around the corner. With my head down and my hands in the pockets I walked back to the diner. Flea and Chad still were sitting there, accompanied now by Lindy. "Hey where did you leave Anthony, John?" Flea asked me,as I sat down. "He's at the restroom!" This made Chad laugh "probably getting his boner under control" he said, we all looked at him with wide eyes open. " Is this a reference now to the happening in the hotel?" Lindy asked. "No, well I just walked by as he was having uh phone sex with Mary!" he said, instantly laughing. Flea rolled his eyes,asking "in a public booth, seriously?" Chad nodded and then i stepped in "I caught him in flagranti, as he hang up and turned around, clearly the biggest boner in his pants!" Flea now shaking his head in disbelief " this is a new level of Anthony's horniness! I can tell, Mary really turned his head." he said chuckling. "Did I hear my name?" Anthony said, as he sat down, while we all couldn't help but laugh and looking at his pants. "What are you laughing at again?" he asked, while undoing his ponytail. We stayed silent, not looking at him, which made him nervous "What? Why are you all ignoring me?" he continued asking. Chad then bursted out in laughter "Ohh nothing...!" He then imitated him "oh babe, I love how you moan my name!" Chad said in a theatrical tone. Anthony then turning to me "Did you told them Greenie?" he asked me angry. I shook my head, when Chad wrapped his arm around my neck "nahh man, I just walked by the booth, as I wanted to get myself a beer!" he said, still laughing. Anthony rolled his eyes now sighing "Whatever!" he simply said. "Okay guys, lets make our way to the check in and gate!" Lindy said, looking at his watch. I really didn't look forward to the flight and Ivy never left my mind. Deep down I hoped that she wouldn't be mad at me anymore, when I call her later. Theres nothing I would want more then telling everyone that she was my girlfriend now, but I couldn't. In the plane, Lindy managed our upcoming day. "Alright, you guys are lucky. You got a day off as we arrive at the hotel but tomorrow will be packed. You'll be playing at a Dutch radio station and afterward give an interview!" he said. "What time?" Anthony asked. Lindy turning to him and saying "7a.m!" Anthony sighing "oh come on!" he said. "Yeah I know I know it's too early for you guys but I can't change it ok?" Lindy said. Flea now next to me letting out a deep sigh "As long as I'm not sharing a room with Chad again, I'm fine with it!" Lindy now looked up from his documents " Oh good timing Flea, I managed to get you guys a separate room, even for you John!" Lindy said. We all cheered and Flea let out a big "Thank god!" out. This to be honest made me happy,cause now I could call Ivy without Swan interrupting me. Chad then laughed and said " Lindy you can't separate John and Anthony, who's gonna take care now of his morning horniness?'" This made me laugh out loud and Anthony just let out a simple "Fuck you Chad!" out. The flight was ok but we were all exhausted and grateful to arrive at our hotel, it was now about 7p.m. I went straight into my room, leaving my stuff on the floor and going straight to the telephone when i remembered the time zone. I then made my way to Anthony's room, where I found him laying on the bed. "Hey Swan, uh what time is it in LA now?" i asked, as he looked up to me. "I don't know i guess 10 or 11a.m, call her Greenie!" he said. I rubbed my neck nervously "Well she probably is still at Mary's, I don't know when she's leaving for Seattle!" I said. He then sat up "Oh right, she is from Seattle!" Anthony said, shaking his head "Ohh Greenie!" "If you're ok with it, i would like to call Ivy first, then you can call Mary!" i said, he nodded and said "Sure, go ahead! I'm going to take a shower anyways!"
I rushed into my room, locking the door and sat down to the phone.
Ivy's P.O.V
The phone ringing jolted me from sleep, I startled up and went to answer it.
I: Hello?
J: Did I wake my girlfriend up?
I : Mh kind of, it's 10 a.m here.
J : I'm sorry Ivy
I : It's okay John! Where are you now?
J : We arrived in Amsterdam, it's 7 p.m now here.
I : right, I forgot about the time zone for a moment.
J : When are you leaving for Seattle?
I: My flight goes at 3p.m
J: Oh so i caught you the right time!
I : Mhm
J : Ivy?
I : Yeah?
J : I uhm look I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, by not telling the guys about us!
I : (deep sighing) it's okay John
J : Are you sure? You know I wouldn't hide you, it's just the situation you know?
I : No, i understand it and I know you're not like that John. It was just a shock.
J : I promise you, as soon as we got used to touring I will announce it ok?
I : Ok John
J : Good news is, I have a room on my own.
I : Oh that's great
J : You can call me when you arrive in Seattle.
I : Wait, what time will it be then?
J : For me it would be about 10p.m I guess
I: Okay, then we can talk when I'm in Seattle...with no one else around.
Hearing this from Ivy warmed my heart, I was glad she wasn't mad at me anymore.
J: Ok then have a pleasant flight sweetheart and we'll hear from each other later. I'm thinking of you and missing you like crazy.
I could feel her smiling against the phone.
I: I miss you too John and I'm looking forward to later.
J: Oh and Ivy?
I : Yes?
J : Don't forget the records I bought you!
I : I won't ( giggling)
After we hung up, I felt happy but also my longing for John got much bigger now. Then a sleepy Mary, disrupting my thoughts."Fuck!" she mumbled, looking at her clock, then jumping up hectic. That made me laugh "What's up Mary?" I asked. "When is your plane leaving?" she asked, trying to dress herself quick. "Calm down! I'm just on time!" I said, laughing. She then slowed down, sitting next to me on the couch "Thank god, I thought we overslept!" she said. "No, we actually have enough time to go for breakfast!" I said. "Sounds good, i actually need a coffee as big as my head!" she said laughing. I looked at her, trying to choke my laughter "Yeah, someone was up early on the phone tonight!" I said, teasing her. She rolled with her eyes "Pfff I don't know what you're talking about Ivy!" I continued teasing her "Of course not! then coughing " Ohhh fuck me Anthony!" I imitated her. Her face went white as a ghost, she looked at me with horror "Wait you actually did hear me?" she asked me. "Seriously Mary? You're ashamed of this now, but you fucked with Anthony the other night in the hotel bathroom, so me and John could hear everything?" I said, laughing out loud. "Alright fine Ivy you caught me once again!" she said, standing up. "Breakfast?" asking me, with her eyes still sleepy. "Sure, I could need some coffee too!" I said, as we got ready. On our way to the bakery, I told her about John and that we cleared our disagreement from last night up. We sat down with our coffees and bagels, talking when Mary's glimpse went to the window and back to me, she looked nervous all of a sudden. I leaned over to her, taking her hand "Is everything alright?" She shook her head, covering her face with one hand. I didn't understand what happened or who she saw, but not a second passed, I heard a male voice saying "Mar? Is that you?"
I looked up to the guy, he was wearing a suit. He looked nothing like her type, which totally confused me. "What do you want here, Phil?" she said, I could feel her angry undertone. "I just was about to grab a coffee ,when I saw you sitting here!" he said, looking at me. "I'm sorry and you are?" he asked, to be honest I could feel his faked politeness. "I'm Ivy and you are?" I asked back, him alternating looking at Mary. "I'm Phil, we and Mary were..." That's when Mary got really angry "Fuck off Phil!" she said, he now looked shocked at her, so was I. She now stood up "Let's get out of here Ivy!" grabbing for my arm, pushing him aside. He didn't know what to say, except for "Well thanks for the talk!" We rushed out and Mary mumbled "Asshole!" . I didn't understand at all "Mary? What was that?" I asked her, as we were walking back. She nervously lighted up a cigarette, didn't even look at me. I grabbed her arm now "Hey, talk to me Mary!" I said to her. She deeply exhaled the smoke, then talked " I just can't believe he lives in LA now!" she said. "Well who is he? Cause I never saw you like that!" I asked, watching her smoking really nervously. "He...he is the reason why I moved to LA, he's the reason why I escaped Detroit in the first place and ...fuck he's the fucking root of all evil and why I didn't have a serious relationship in the past years."What happened now, I couldn't believe my eyes, Mary broke down in tears, she was sobbing. All the time she played it hard and cool, I knew it was just her facade she was trying to maintain. I instantly hugged her and tried to calm her down, people were watching us now, but I didn't care. Mary was a blubbering mess now and I tried to take her back home. As we arrived at her apartment, she went into her kitchen, coming back with a bottle of Jack. My eyes widened now and I tried to take the bottle away from her "Hey, that's not the solution now Mary!" She wouldn't let me "Don't tell me what to do Ivy!" she said, taking a big gulp out of it. I shook my head in disbelief and it broke my heart to see her like that. "Listen, i can stay longer if you want me to, Mary!" I said to her, as she took another gulp. "No Ivy, I can't demand that of you!" she said. "Are you sure? Do you want to talk about it at least?" I asked her. She now sighed deeply " We met back when I was 17, I just finished high school, he was uh 28 at that time!" she said, i was shocked " You never told me this Mary!" I said, as she continued telling me "Well it's not a nice story. Anyway, I met him at a college party, he was studying medicine at that time." "Wait you went to college?" i asked her. "No, me and a friend just secretly sneaked into a college party! Anyways, I was totally shy at that time, like I was the classic mid west girl. During that party he came up to me and started talking to me!" I giggled "Wait you were the classic mid western girl? I can't imagine that!"She now jumped up, walking towards her bed, where she kneeled down, picking something under her bed, which seemed like a year book. Flipping through the pages, when she found what she was searching for. There was the evidence, I looked at her picture and couldn't believe my eyes.Alternating looking at her and the picture, she didn't lie about looking like the classic mid west girl. Mary with long straight brown hair, slightly curled, centred parted. "See!" she just said. I had to take a look closer "Girl that make up, even the fact the you wore make up, wow!" I said, as she playfully punched my arm. "Hey slow down!" she said laughing. "I mean it's like I see two different persons!" I said, my jaw really dropped. "Okay I gotta ask this now, what did the guy do to you ,that you changed that drastically?" I asked her.
