Awsten's P.O.V

I threw a punch right on Jason's nose, causing it to bleed. As soon as that happened, Jawn pulled me back while Geoff stopped Jason from fighting back. Jawn pulled me into the bus, Geoff following shortly, and scolded me for my actions.
"Awsten, you can't just do that, and you know it! Especially not on tour!" He starts.
"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I don't... I don't know what happened I just, felt like I had to." I try to explain myself.
"What exactly... happened, out there?" Lucas says, getting up from his spot on the table's seat.
We all look at a worried Audrey, sitting on the couch.
"Uh. Ok, I'll go listen to music in my bunk or something." She says, getting up.
"Audrey-" Jawn starts.
"Jawn, it's ok. I promise. Thank you for caring about my feelings, too. I don't think I can handle it right now." She kindly smiles.
I wish I could just hold her right now. But because I punched an asshole, I have to wait.
"Awsten punched Jason." Jawn whispers.
"Awsten! What the fuck!" Lucas exclaims.
I cross my arms.
"You can't do that, you're headlining, it's kind of hard to throw you off tour own tour, you know that? You can't do that kind of stuff!" He continues.
"I know."
"Then why'd you do it?"
Jason's words come back to me. He called her a slut. He was going to talk shit on her. We haven't known each other for long, we're not dating, but I feel like I have to protect Audrey. No matter what happens between us. I mean, I'd protect all my friends but, I've never decided to risk my whole tour for someone so fast.
I stayed silent, Lucas sighing in defeat and disappointment.
"Fine. Let's forget about this time, don't do it again, Awsten."
"I won't."
I get up and head to my bunk. On the way there, I slow down in front of Audrey's. Maybe she needs time alone this time.

Audrey's P.O.V
*TW; puking*

It was silent on the bus. All we could hear was the traffic outside. I felt sick. It was a little late to ask Lucas what I was supposed to do when I was sick. Obviously, I couldn't puke in the toilet, cause that would smell for a while and nobody would enjoy that. So my only option was outside.
I got up and headed over to the lounge. I looked outside a window: we were on a small road with nobody really around.
"S'cuse me," I mumble to the bus driver, "can you pull over for a sec? I think I'm going to be sick."
"Sure thing."
I step outside and breathe in the cold air of the night. My vision was foggy and my ears were ringing. I held myself up with the bus's side, my other hand on my forehead. I heard a voice mumble. Then another, possibly the driver's. The ringing in my ear stopped me from understanding what was being said.
I heard a voice say something that seemed like my name.
Then the contents of my stomach left my body.
*TW over*
"Oh my god, Audrey, are you alright?" I heard Lucas say from behind me.
I nodded. He looked down.
"Doesn't seem like it... come on, let's get you back on the bus. I'll cancel your show tomorrow so you can rest."
"No... no need." I manage to say.
"Yes, need." He helped me walk up the two steps and walked me back to my bunk. "Tell me if you need anything. And sleep in, tomorrow. And also, as much as it sucks, I'm gonna have to ask you to stay in your bunk as much as possible so nobody else gets sick. Sorry."
"S'ok." I climb into my bunk. "G'night."
"Goodnight."
He closes the curtain and gets back to his bunk. I grab a mint from my bag and lay down on my pillow. I felt warm tears roll down my face. This sucks. I hate you, Jason.

I got woken up by a yell coming from the lounge, followed by a "Shhh!"and an "oops.". I wanted to get up, but I was being quarantined, sadly. I opened my bag and grabbed a mask so my germ sharing wouldn't be as possible, then got up and headed to the bathroom. As I was about to close the door, Awsten yelled "Morning Audrey!" I looked up.
"Morning." I say back.
"Did I wake you up by yelling? Sorry."
"Yea," I laughed, "but it's ok." I smile, even if he couldn't see it.
He smiled, then turned around.

"Audrey?" I heard Geoff say from behind my bunk's curtain.
"Yea?"
"We're going out, do you want to come?"
"Oh, no thank you."
"Alright, we'll be back later. Text us if there's anything. Wait, you don't have my number. Write it down."
"Um, ok, one sec." I open my contacts app and write down Geoff. "Ok, shoot."
"*geoff's number*"
"Got it. Thanks."
"See you later!"
"Bye, have fun."
And I continued doing whatever on my computer. Lucas had reminded me to tell my fans that my part would be cancelled tonight, so I did that. Thankfully, my fans understood and told me to get better, which made me smile.

My phone started ringing. I looked for it in the covers, and a few seconds later I found it.
"Hey Awsten." I say, clearing my throat beforehand.
"Hey! We're going at chipotle for lunch, what do you want?" His energetic voice says through the speaker.
"Nothing, thanks."
"Oh, did already eat?"
"No, I'm just not hungry."
"You have to eat, dude. Burrito?"
"Awsten, I-"
"What do you take in your burrito?"
I sigh. "Beef, no rice, black beans-" I start.
"Wait, text me all of that, ok?"
"Sure."
"Ok great. We'll be back in like, half an hour or something."
"Ok. Thank you."
"See you later!" He hung up.
Well, guess I'm getting a burrito.
