Nathan:
Tom stood with Siva and called Jay, Max, and I over where they both stood shirtless. We all walked over and met up with that camera guy. He wasn't very nice.
"Shirtless group photo. Girls will love it." The photo guy said.
He directed us where to stand and how to pose. Max threw his top off towards the group of girls he was with before. They rolled their eyes, but one picked up his shirt anyway, giggling off to the rest of the lot.
Jay took his top off too, but I just stood there.
"He said shirtless." Jay spoke to me.
"I don't want to be shirtless." I said.
"Hey babyface, shirt off." Photo guy said.
I knowingly knew I was pissing him off, but I didn't give a damn. My shirt was staying on.
"Is he deaf?" Photo guy asked.
"Come on Nathan, take off your shirt for one picture." Siva said.
"I can't." I said.
Each eye was on me..except his. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Nano making a beeline for us. It's staying on.
"Yes you can. The fans love you shirtless." Tom said.
Nano got closer.
My top was staying on.
"Don't feel self-conscious. You look great shirtless." Jay said. He refused to meet my eyes saying that so I knew that was a lie.
I understood why Jay would have lied. My small pack of nothing was now gone since my stomach was rounding itself out. Why would anyone want to see me shirtless? Girls don't like that.
The annoyed Nano now stood in front of me. He pointed to my top and opened his mouth, but I started first.
"Can't you just skip me? Have them be a foursome?" I asked.
"Skip you?" Photo guy asked. I looked over at his somewhat of agreeing face.
"Yeah I can sk-"
"No. He has leading amount of fans in this band. Shirt off Nathan." Nano said. He interrupted the photo guy giving him a harsh glare.
"Why can't I sit it out?" I asked.
"Your not sitting it out. Take your shirt off." Nano said.
"No." I said.
"Just cut him out. He obviously doesn't want to be seen." Max said. He pointed to middle making my face go red. I covered my arms around my stomach and didn't meet any eyes.
"Max." Jay said. It came out as a whisper so I wouldn't hear, but I did.
"We all know he's self-conscious about his stomach. Maybe if you worked out mor-"
Arms reached out towards him giving him a slap from every angle. I wiggled my nose feeling the familiar water go down my cheeks.
"He looks fine." Jay said.
"Yeah. Maybe if he can stand behind us a little?" Tom asked.
Nano looked to the photographer with a questionable face. The photographer sighed giving me another glare, telling me I've ruined his perfect boyband picture.
"Get in position. Boy, you get in the back and smile." Photo guy said.
-
We all got in position ready for the photographer to take the picture, but not before Max yanked my top off and stood aside, exposing me. The photographer got his picture and sent a damn smirk. Jay grabbed my top from Max, punching his shoulder. He handed me my top. They were all staring at me, the boys, so I turned around to put on my top and walked away from them, ignoring Nano, back to an awaiting car.
-
I stayed locked in my hotel room for hours. Kev tried. Nano tried. Tom tried. On the sixth hour, the door opened and in came Jay.
"Let's go out." Jay said.
"I'm underage here. I can't do anything." I said.
"You can do more than just drink." Jay said.
-
More than just drink he said. Jay took me to a small Denny's diner. We walked in unrecognized by the workers and small amount of customers inside. I wasn't surprised since we weren't that big here yet.
A woman in a pink dress and apron, complete with a beehive hair do showed us our seats, handing us both menus. Jay thanked her and we looked over the menu.
I suddenly felt queasy, but swallowed down whatever was trying to come up. I felt it again, but swallowed again feeling it rise. I placed my menu down and tapped Jay's arm, gesturing to my mouth. Jay looked surprised, but took my arm and led me to the counter asking where the bathroom was.
-
"Do you just want to go back to the hotel? Order room service?" Jay asked.
He held my shaky form up against the sink counter washing my vomit off me. I hadn't really eaten anything all day, except the carrots. Faulty carrots perhaps.
"No. We can stay here." I said.
"I think your sick. You don't look too great." Jay said.
"Thanks." I said.
Jay rolled his eyes now and wiped me off with paper towels.
"No really. Your shaking like a leaf. Maybe we could call a hotel doc-"
"I'm fine." I snapped.
-
We sat in silence eating our food now. The beehive woman said it was on the house since I looked as bad as a beaten truck. My head dropped at that comment, but we accepted it.
I ordered a water and a bowl if goldfish crackers while Jay ordered a potato soup. My stomach wasn't up for anything big. I felt bad for snapping at him, not knowing what had come over me.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you." I said.
"It's alright. As an apology, will you do something for me?" Jay asked.
"Nothing too bad." I said.
"No it's good." Jay said. I ate a cracker while he went on.
"Let the doctor check over you for me? You look sicker than usual." Jay said.
-
And that's how I ended up sitting on my bed, with Jay and Nano next to me, and a doctor telling me he wants me at a hospital.
