Brittany's P.O.V 

        I leaned against the cold bus, and stared towards Christina. I wasn't sure how to even go about explaining this situation, it was all a mess. I was still in complete shock, I couldn't believe Aaron would react this way... He was the level headed one, wasn't he? 

        "Okay, so Aaron kissed me." I said plainly. 

        "Aaron... kissed you?" Christina said in a state of disbelief. 

        "Okay, we were walking back to the bus and laughing and joking together, and he just pulled me into him and kissed me. I pushed him off and kind of yelled at him, I wasn't expecting him to attack my face with his lips. So, then I told him that I'm a lesbian, and he got really mad and yelled at me and then he just stormed off." I explained quickly. "I feel so bad!" 

        "Don't, it's not like you meant to cause an issue." Christina smiled at me, warmly. 

        "But, I just assumed he knew." I sighed. "I guess that was wrong of me." 

        "I don't know..." She trailed off. "I kind of told the other guys..." 

        "Wait, they didn't know?" I asked, shocked. 

        "I talked about Jess a lot at the beginning of the tour." I said, spitting out her name like it was poison. 

        "I guess they didn't realize it was a girl." Christina shrugged. "Oh well, I'm sure Aaron will get over it." 

        "I hope so." I sighed, pushing myself off of the bus. "Let's get back in there, I'm tired." 

        "Okay." 

        I walked past the guys and went straight to my bunk, grabbing clothes and changing in the bathroom. I then headed straight back into my bunk and went to bed, I didn't really feel like being very social tonight, especially after they saw what went on with Aaron and I. 

        ** 

        I woke up to the sound of hushed voices speaking, and got out of my bunk. Ian and Jon were both sat at the table, drinking coffee and talking quietly. I didn't pay them much attention, just poured myself a mug of coffee, added sugar and cream and sat down.         

        "Good morning." Ian smiled warmly at me. 

        "Hi." I said blankly.

        "Are you okay?" Jon asked, looking up at me. 

        "Wonderful." 

        "Okay." Jon said quietly. 

        "Anyways, I'm going to take a walk." I stated, getting up and exiting the bus. I didn't care that I was still in a pair of pyjama pants and an old baggy top. 

        I walked around the city we were in, earning some odd looks from people who passed by me. I didn't really care what any of them thought of me, I wasn't in the mood to deal with humans today. I stopped inside a small clothing store, looking through their tank tops. Eventually, I decided I'd have to get back to our bus, we were leaving today for the next city and being left behind did not appeal to me. 

        "Brittany!" Christina screamed as I got back onto the bus. "Where were you?" 

        "Calm down mom, I took a walk." I stated. 

        "A-are you okay?" She asked me, worriedly. 

        "Nope." I smiled at her. "I'm going to take a nap though, okay?" 

        "O-okay..." 

        I quickly made my way for my bunk, avoiding making eye contact with anyone else on the bus. Unfortunately, Kevin stood between my bunk and his. I rolled my eyes and tried climbing into my bunk. 

        "So, he found out you're a dyke?" He snickered. 

        "Uh-huh." 

        "You're disgusting." He said quietly. 

        "Why don't you say that out loud so that everyone else can fucking hear you, Kevin! Because everyone is under this impression you're a good guy and I hate you for no reason, but no I hate you because you're an asshole." 

        "What is going on?" Aaron asked, poking his head out of his bunk. 

        "Nothing." I snapped, jumping into my bunk. "Goodnight!" 

        ** 

        I woke up to the sound of yelling, which was much less pleasant than when I'd woken up to the sound of hushed voices. I poked my head out of my bunk and saw Aaron, right in Kevin's face, yelling. I stared shocked, as Jon and Ian both stood behind Aaron. 

        "You need to shut your mouth!" Aaron yelled at him. "Who care who she likes?" 

        "It's unnatural." Kevin replied smugly. 

        "Well, being an asshole making a girl who's here because of issues that were going on with her personally, isn't right." Aaron yelled back. 

        "Guys?" I spoke up, drawing attention to myself. "What's going on?" 

        "Brittany!" Jon exclaimed, shocked. "Did we wake you up?" 

        "No, it's fine." I smiled. "Why are you guys yelling?" 

        "Brittany, I heard what he said to you." Aaron told me. "So, we've been fighting... Because that was wrong." 

        "Oh..." I stared at them. "I don't really mind." 

        "Uh-huh." Ian said, unconvinced. "Sure you don't." 

        "Go see Christina, Jess and everyone." Jon said. "There might be blood." 

        "Well, okay then." I said. "I'll see you later then...." 

        Bye-bye Kevin, you won't be missed.

        I walked into the lounge and found Ben sitting on Christina's lap. I was confused until I realized she was screaming that she was going to murder the hell out of Kevin, and he was so dead once she got out from under Ben. 

        "Hello." I said to the group. 

        "Brittany, help me! They won't let me kill Kevin!" Christina screamed at me. 

        "Uhhh..." I glanced around the room, Elliott shook his head at me. 

        "Do not let her at him, she was about to claw his eyes out!" Elliott told me. "And, not that I want the dude to live, but I don't want to lose our singer." 

        "LET ME KILL HIM!" Christina screamed, clawing at Ben's torso. 

        "Christina, you can't murder someone." 

        After what seemed like forever, Ian, Jon and Aaron came into the lounge. All three smiling. 

        "He quit." Aaron announced. "We're leaving him in the next city." 

        I just smiled, I loved these guys, and I felt completely protected here.
