Chapter Eleven

Three days later. 

I waved as Amy and Jordan pulled away from the gate, their taxi disappearing as it hit the crest of the hill. I turned around and let out a sigh. I had spent the last three days thinking about what to do about Tony. I had left his but the morning after his tweet and I have been using Jordan as a tool to avoid him. Now that they've left, I'm going to have to face him. On the bright side, I know exactly how everyone feels about the situation. 

Amy, after seeing how Tony was with Jordan, is one hundred percent on board with me getting back with him. She saw how he tried so hard to make sure Jordan was having a good time. She watched him, in her words, try to get intimate with me without pushing too far. 

Lily thinks that it's going to be a mess at first, at least, once the fans are aware of who I actually am. She thinks that it'll help if this collaboration with Vic goes well, and if we are extremely careful on how we word everything when questions are asked. 

Bren's pissed with me, but that's partially because I still haven't forgiven him for accidentally speeding things up when it came to Jordan. He also isn't fully convinced that Tony's going to be any different this time around. He doesn't think that we should be talking, that we should even be moving towards a relationship.

Anthony is mostly worried that I'm going to get hurt. He is grilling Tony anytime he's around, whenever he thinks I'm out of earshot. He's been telling me to my face that he's on board, he's here for me whatever I decide to do. 

Jen thinks that this will be a great opportunity for the band. Lily convinced Vic to preform Breakdown with us, and Jen thinks that is just the beginning of the possibilities for Sleeping Alone and Pierce the Veil to collaborate. Jen's been working with Michele, Pierce's manager, to try and plan a tour for the two bands, she wants us to open for them on a short North America tour. 

Things with Mike, Tony, and Vic are going well. We all managed to pick things back up, they just worry about Tony getting hurt again, which is completely understandable. Really, it's been hardest to get Jaime on board. I don't think he's ready to forgive me, but he doesn't want to make things harder for Tony. 

The girls, more May and Ashley than Noel,  can't wait for tour to end in a month and a half, they can't wait to start doing things as a group with me again. I don't have the heart to tell them that I don't think I'm ready for that. I can't get sucked back into the parties and the life that I lived when I was in their group. 

I'm walking towards the buses when I see a familiar face, "yo, Barakat!" I shout. "You got a second?" I ask, walking over to the table he's sat at. I sit next to him and give him a smile. 

"What do you want, Klass?" he asks, taking me off guard. "Or, shit. It's Dean." 

"How did you know?" I ask, raising my eyebrow at him.

"When you came on tour as the girlfriend, you would react the same way when I would pretend like I didn't know who you were," he starts, "I may be dumb, but I pick up on shit like that. I don't think anyone else has put it together. But, you were drunk almost every night with that Warped, and I don't think anyone has seen you do so much as drink a single beer." 

I look at him, "why didn't you say anything? Tell me that you knew?" 

He shrugs, "I figured there was a reason. At first I assumed that it was just a stage name thing, and that you were trying to act cool in the presence of such a legend," he laughs, motioning towards himself. "Then I realized that the breakup with Tony was a pretty bad one, and it all kind of made more sense. Plus, you really need to touch your roots up. The blonde was a good cover up, but you've got like two inches showing of that shit brown."
