When Everything Disappears (Completed)

Chapter 33

Chapter 33:

The moments of ignoring Josh had grown in the past week of touring.  Four times awkwardness ensued.. The week was ending and my excuse of "pmsing" had expired. Let's have a recap of the past week's most awkward moments, shall we?

The first venue, the first show. It was all tonight. I was so excited for the boys, it was their first arena headlining tour. It was everything they had worked for. I walked down the empty hall to their dressing room, the present I had for each of the boys hidden away in the bag slung over my shoulder.

"Wait up, Brook!" A familiar voice called out and I stopped dead in my tracks. Excuses ran through my head as the muscular drummer caught up to me.

"Oh, uh, hi Josh." I said as he fell into step with me. We kept walking and I refused to look over.

"You okay? You've been acting a bit weird lately," Josh raised an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah, just uh, lady things. Look, I gotta go. Um, catch up with you later, yeah?" I turned to him, feeling slightly apologetic. He gave me a confused look, but I turned and practically ran towards the boys dressing room.

"I'm going to dinner tonight, you in?" Josh asked me as we waited for the boys to wrap up for the second concert. I turned to him and shrugged.

"I'm not really in the mood, I'm sorry.." I turned away and refused to meet eyes with him. Which was made a bit difficult when he caught my arm and practically forced me to look straight at him.

"What's been eating you? I thought we were friends?" Josh sounded hurt.

"We are, Josh. I'm sorry. It's just.. You know. That time of month. I'm just going to be in a pissy mood the next few days. I'm sorry.." With a forced smile, I used the excuse.

"If you need me to go on any chocolate runs, let me know, okay?" He offered with a wink.

I agreed with a laugh, but I was flooded with guilt.
