Warped Love

Chapter 5: Backstage

Bryan's POV:

I wanted to take a quick break from the signing because I noticed Laura was going to get some water with herself and I want to tell her about Johnnie as soon as possible. I yelled "Hey Laura Wait up" she turned around and gave me a friendly smile, and I caught up with her. "Hey what's up" she said. "I decided to take a quick break from the signing and come and talk to you" I replied. "Oh well thanks for the company" she said politely. "No problem but look I need to tell you something" I said trying to get to the point. "Okay sure, wait a sec" she said as we arrived at the tent. She grabbed a water bottle and took a sip. "Ok go ahead" she said looking at me then taking another long sip. "Okay well I'm just gonna make it quick so you don't flip out but look you're a cool girl and I'm not the only one who thinks that, and you know who else thinks that?" I didn't give her time to answer, "Johnnie thinks that. Johnnie likes you. Like he like likes you. He has a crush on you and I know uo like him to.!" I said. Before I could say anything else she took a major spit take on me. Oh my gosh why didn't I see that coming. Great now I'm soaking. I could tell by the look on her face she was super embarrassed. Then I notice music starts at the main stage. It was The Ready Set that was playing. "Uhm I better get back to the concert before Rylee starts wondering where I am" she says as her voice squeaks. I think I broke her oops. She left and quickly walk in the direction of the stage. We'll that went well I thought as I made my way back to the signing.

•Johnnies POV•

Me and Rylee walked toward the main stage. Laura was also coming along but she had to go get some water. We got back stage and Jordan from The ready Set. I feel bad because Laura's not here and she really wanted to meet him,but hopefully she'll be able to at another venue. We talked with him a little bit. Because I had already met him a while ago we just talked about normal stuff and took pictures, while Rylee was kind of shy so she just said a few things and walked around backstage some more. Then when Jordan went on stage Rylee came up to me. "Look Johnnie I'm just gonna put this out there but I know you like Laura" she said quickly. Great I thought to myself more embarrassment I just stoop there silent hoping she would get the clue I wanted her to change the subject but nope she didn't. "And I think that's really cute" she continued "listen I know Laura would be mad at me for saying this and she get nervous about this crap because she's never had a boyfriend, but she really likes you, she liked you before you even freaking met each other so I don't know why you're embarrassed if you feel the same way!" She said. Wait she's never had a boyfriend, that's different but I like it and I've never had a girlfriend so we have that in common. But wait what?! She likes me?! "And why should I believe you, Bryan could just be sending you to prank me or something". "I'm not joking, trust me she told me yesterday, but fine if you don't believe me whatever I guess you can just ignore the fact you like eachother and just leave it alone and be awkward." She said. That was a good point but I'm not ready to tell Laura my feelings even if she does like me. "Okay fine whatever can we just talk about this later?" I say. "Yeah that's fine but here comes Laura" she said. I turned around to see Laura. She looked stunned. She avoided making eye contact with me and walked past me to Rylee. I felt hurt. Theirs no way she likes me. Then I noticed that she looked at me and blushed then whispered something to Rylee, and after that Rylee look at me and smiled and winked. Ok maybe I was wrong, maybe she does like me. But how could this be I'm such a dork I mean, and I'm not even that cute, I'm just me a regular dude. The rest of the time the three of us talked, well not really the three of us mostly just me and Rylee, and then a occasional comment from Laura while she stared at the floor then sometimes glancing up at me. I feel so weird. I wonder what she was thinking about.

Rylee's POV:

By the time The Ready Set had finished the set me, Johnnie, Laura, Damon, and Bryan, were all back stage waiting for OM&M to go on. The Band Came over to talk to us, I litterally was being the most idiotic fangirl ever. I was such a huge fan and it was definitely a dream of mine to meet them one day, and now that dream is coming true. I flipped out. I took a couple pictures with the whole band together then we all talked for about five mintutes. The whole time I was talking about how much I loved their songs like Break Free, Second and Sebring, and My Understanding. I was litterally the happiest girl in the world right now, and I couldn't calm myself. After they went on stage I felt weird for some reason though, like a sick feeling in my stomach, probably from all the nervousness. Then next thing I know Damon was hugging me from behind and trying to calm me down. I'm guessing he noticed my discomfort. That's so sweet of him. Why can't their be more guys like Damon in the world he was litterally the sweetest. "Calm down Rylee," he said "it's ok they liked you. You didn't screw anything up." "Well I feel sure like I did" I said. Then Damon turned me around and said "Look at me Rylee, you are perfect in my eyes, you havnt screwed anything up, it's fine, they liked you" then he gave me a right hug, and suddenly my nervous feelings went away and were replaced with something more. I felt like I had Butterflies in my stomach. Gosh Dang it Damon. I think I like you I though to myself.

•Laura's POV•

When the venue was closing up we are dinner and headed back to our tour bus as a group. Today was pretty awesome but I don't know what's gonna happen now that I know Johnnie likes me. I feel like I just wanna start over I mean yeah I like Johnnie but that's not how I wanted to find out. I hope Bryan's not disgusted by me now. Sorry I mouth over to him when we board the bus. He laughs, then mouths back it's okay.In a short while we were back on the road and everyone was either editing videos, on their phone, partying, or reading fan letters. I wanted to break the ice between me and Johnnie because I feel like a wall formed between us since this morning and I don't like that feeling. It's empty. I went and say by Johnnie who was reading fan letters. I leaned on his shoulder hoping he Doesn't mind, so I could read them along with him. Most of the letters were about how because of Johnnie they learned to be themselves or that they had stopped cutting because of him. It made me smile that Johnnie had such an amazing fanbase and that he's helped so many people battle depression. "Johnnie?" I say nervously. "Yeah?" He asks. I could hear his heart beating fast after I said his name. I didn't mean to make him nervous. gosh I'm such an idiot. "Nevermind" I say then I get up and go into the bunk alley and sit in my bunk with the curtain closed thinking about Johnnie and how much of a screw up I am.
