By The Way I'm Not Sure (Jai Waetford Fan Fiction)

Chapter 18 - LA

The next day at school I have to act like I don't know Trent, but he hangs around me all day anyway.

"So, I talked to my manager." Jai says to me.

"Yeah, and?"

"I have to go." He says and I sigh. I don't want him to go.

"But he said I could bring three people." He says.

"Ooooh, can I come?" Trent asks and Jai looks at me while I slowly shake my head.

"Sure." He says. Ugh! No. I don't want him to come. Even though, Trent has kind of settled down and isn't all excited, he is calm and relaxed now, thank god.

"We leave tomorrow." He says.

"What about my mum? She definitely won't let Trent go." I say.

"All fixed, she has let both of you go." Damn, I thought I had got rid of him for a moment.

I drag my bag outside to where Trent and Jai are waiting. Jai takes my bag and puts it in the boot of the car.

"Hey Gemma." Alana says as we get in the car.

"Hi." I say and she begins to drive to the airport. When we get there it is packed with people, Tuesday really must be the day for traveling. It takes at least an hour to get through the security check and we finally get to board the plane at 9am.

We should have started school 15 minutes ago, but no, we are stuck on a plane with a crying baby and a girl playing music that I don't like. Trent falls asleep pretty quickly which leaves Jai and I in piece to talk.

"You excited?" He asks.

"Nervous." I answer and he grabs my hand.

"I'm not going to break up with you." He whispers and I nod.

"I know." The rest of the flight was boring, after Jai fell asleep.

"GEMMA! JAI! WE ARE HERE!" Trent yells in our ears. We groan as he runs off the plane.

"Great." I say, Jai, Alana and I both walk off after him. I'm surprised he didn't get in trouble for running. A few of Jai's fans were waiting at the airport, only about 10 and he talked to everyone. Only a few wanted to talk to me, I didn't mind having a chat.

The hotel room smells like paint and soft drink-okay then. There were only three beds which meant one of us has to sleep on the ground, but luckily we convinced Alana well enough to let me sleep in the same bed as Jai. She knew about the amount of times we had 'sleepovers' and she didn't mind. It was only for a few days though and then we'd be able to go home.

"When's the meeting?" I ask Jai.

"Tomorrow." He answers as we plunk our bags down. I only had one bag the size of a schoolbag, which I took on board the plane, and Jai had a slightly bigger bag, which he wasn't allowed to take on board.

"It's like 8. What are we going to do for the day?" I ask.

"I thought we could go to a movie." I throw myself onto the double bed in our room.

"We could do that in Australia." I mumble, audible enough that Jai could only just hear me.

"Well, maybe Starbucks? There's no Starbucks in Campbelltown." He says and I sit up quickly.

"Sounds like a brilliant plan. I'm pretty sure I saw one just down the road." I say and we walk up to Alana.

"Hey mum. You know how we're like 16 now and old enough to walk around alone?" Jai asks her.

"Yes."

"Can we go to Starbucks?"

"It's just two blocks away." I add.

"We'll be quick." He says after me.

"Alright then, but take Trent." She says and we go to find Trent, who was studying a full-of-water, but empty, fish tank.

"Do you want to come to Starbucks?" Jai asks.

"Nope. Studying the life of an empty fish bowl." Trent says without looking up. Weird child. So, we leave. We broke the promise we had to Alana that we'd be quick.

We get served by a girl about our age, who was trying to flirt with Jai, she was very pretty and twirled her hair whenever she spoke, which annoyed me. We order and pay then sit down at table 10 at the back of the shop.

About ten minutes later, the same waitress comes over with our drinks. She smiles at Jai and gives me a scowl, before placing our drinks and leaving. We drink and talk as I watch Jai as he happily sings along to the radio which was playing a Justin Bieber song that I have never heard. He looked so happy and adorable.

"I'm gunna go to the bathroom." I say and he nods as he continues to sing. I laugh then walk away towards the door which read, 'LADIES'. I wash my hands, then my face and stare at myself in the mirror. My cheeks are red and I feel sick. Why? I don't know. I wipe my face with a paper towel and the hair twirler walks in.

"Oh, it's you." She says, she kind of looks angry.

"Yeah, it's me." I say with a sarcastic smile.

"Your friend out there is cute. I want him to be mine." She says.

"Yeah, well, ya can't have him."

"Shut up, I hate your accent." She says.

"Well, I hate your face." I did hate her face, she was pretty, but the way she smiled at Jai in a flirty way made me hate her.

"Whatever, I don't understand why he'd date someone like you, I mean, I would be a lot better girlfriend for him."

"You don't even know his name."

"Well, sweetheart you're ugly." She says and walks into the first stall. Bitch. I walk out of the bathroom and back to Jai.

"Your face is all red. Are you okay?" He asks.

"No. I feel sick. Can we go back to the hotel?" I ask and he nods. He holds my hand as we walk, despite the fact that my hand is sweaty. I don't know why, is it jealousy? But why would I be jealous if he is my boyfriend, that girl can't date him. Hopefully we'll never see her again.

When we get to the hotel I decide to lay down in the room we are staying in. Jai, Alana and Trent decided to watch a movie, but I feel really sick. Am I ugly? Am I really that bad? I know I'm not pretty-Jai always tells me that I am, but I don't believe him.

"Dinner's ready." Jai whispers as he comes through the door. He sits next to me on the bed and stares at me.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Nothing. I just feel unwell." I say and he nods. We both walk into the kitchen where there is a small table with chicken and vegetables served onto four plates. We all sit down and eat. I wasn't in the mood for eating,

After dinner it was 10pm-Jai's mum didn't know how to use the stove in the hotel and it took her about an hour to figure it out which made us have dinner at 8- so Jai and I went to bed. We usually never go to sleep earlier than 12 pm when we are staying over each others houses, but there was nothing to do.

"Jai." I say.

"Yeah?" He asks.

"Am I ugly?"
