Donnie's face as I looked at him confused me. I couldn't read his expression. He was obviously waiting for me to reply.

"Um.. we made out."

"You and Joe made out?"

I nodded, not really knowing what to say. He frowned at me before leaning forward.

"Today?"

I shook my head. "No... hell no, not today."

"When?"

"Last week. Manchester."

Donnie pursed his lips and looked away from me. I wish I knew what he was thinking.

"It didn't mean anything though. I was confused and he was just... there." I cringed, realising I sounded completely like a whole and sighed. I may as well of just given up now.

"Just there? Manchester... wasn't that the day I gave you those passes for ultimate?"

I nodded.

"So even after I gave you passes you still went to him? What about me?"

"That's what I was confused about. I didn't know how you felt about me. Sometimes I felt like you were giving me the brush off."

Donnie sat up. "I gave you free tickets, Emmi. I don't just do that for anyone."

I nodded. "I know. I'm sorry." I looked down at my lap, guilty tears threatening to spill down my cheeks.

"God damn.." Donnie muttered before standing up. "I've gotta go."

"What?" I looked up. "Donnie please, can we just talk about this. I like you." I really like you.

"We can... but I have a show to do, and honestly.. I don't want to see you right now." Donnie looked at me before turning around and leaving the catering area.

The moment he did I looked down at my lap and sighed loudly.

Good one, Emmi!

I sat inside the arena, watching the band set up from one of the floor seats, off in the corner so that I wouldn't bother anybody and possibly not be seen. I turned my phone off and if I knew where Emmileigh was, I would go tell her that I was going back to the hotel, but I didn't want to leave her here, even though I knew she'd be fine.

I wasn't sure exactly who I was pissed off at - Brian for telling me all of that stuff or myself for even being bothered by it.

I wasn't sure why I was bothered by it. Maybe because I knew he was telling the truth?

"There you are!" I heard, looking over my shoulder to see Nick walking up to my seat. "What are you doing out here?"

"Wanted some time alone," I whispered as he sat down in the chair next to me.

"Why is it I think you're pissed off at something?" Nick asked as I shrugged. "Come on, tell me. I thought we were okay after the Tony thing yesterday?"

"Has nothing to do with that."

"Then what?"

"When you left for the interview with AJ, Brian had a little talk with me," I said as I looked over at Nick. "Told me all about how you get infatuated with things..."

"Yeah, when I get a new video game or..."

"With girls..."

"Ugh..."

"I don't even know why I'm upset by it," I said as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Why are you even talking to him about us?" Nick asked as I looked at him. "It's none of his business."

"He shut the door to the dressing room and sat down, talking with me. I didn't really say anything to him," I said as I stood up. "And why it bothered me, I don't know. I mean, are you just fascinated by me because I'm not using you for money or because I'm not running at your every beck and call?"

"For fuck's sake," Nick hissed, leaning back in the chair. "Does this have anything to do with what I caught you telling Tony? You tell Tony I would marry you before he ever did and then Brian tells you I get fascinated with girls and you get upset..."

"Oh kiss my ass," I said as I started to walk away. Nick jumped up, grabbing my arm and turning me around. "We have known each other a week and a half. Do you really think I want that? I'm just upset that your friend and band mate and whatever he is has to come tell me this shit."

"Well don't listen to anybody else when it comes to me," he hissed as I rolled my eyes.

"Then tell everybody to mind their own fucking business," I shot back before walking off. I turned my cell phone back on, seeing about five text from Nick from before he found me, which I instantly deleted and about 10 from Emmileigh, plus five missed calls.

Why did I have a feeling something bad happened?
