*Jesse's POV*
Life in Dream Street. It was good. Had all those girls screaming for you, fame, live life on a tour bus. But my greatest fear. I wanna be there for Laura, but I can't be when I am tour. That's the only flaw to the group. She told me the fact that I try is good enough for her, but it's not. It's not good enough. I met Laura @ school. And since we met our whole world has been crazy. I can't wait to go home. 2 more weeks. The other guys are also excited about going home to see their girlfriends.
I don't know them too well. I am friends with all of them, they are cool, but we aren't close or anything. I went to the back of the bus to see what the other guys were doing. Matt, Chris and Frankie were all in the back watching "Lilo and Stitch" on DVD.
"You guys are actually watching Lilo and Stitch?", I smirked.
"Yeah, Claudia was back here. She made us watch it with her. Then she left and it's actually pretty good", Chris laughed.
The movie automatically brought back memories of Laura. I frowned.
"What's wrong Jester?", Frankie asked.
"Oh, nothing. It's just that Lilo and Stitch is Laura's favorite movie. I can't wait to see her in 2 weeks", I smiled.
I walked to the front of the bus and hopped on my bunk. I last called her 2 days ago, maybe she is due for a call. I got out my cell phone and began to dial her number. It rang about 6 times.
"Hey, this is Laura. I am not able to answer my phone right now, but leave me a brief message and I'll get back ya. I love you Jesse", the message repeated back.
"Hmm, she changed it", I thought outloud. "Hey babe. It's Jess. Just calling, because I miss you, and can't wait to see you in 2 weeks. I'll call you later in the week. Love ya".
Across the way I saw Greg sitting in his bunk playing his guitar and writing down song lyrics. He looked up briefly.
"Not home?", he questioned.
"Nah, she is probably out with her friends at the mall or something", I explained.
"Yeah, but I am sure wherever she is, she is out there thinking of you", Greg inquired.
"I hope so. She is different from other girlfriends I have had", I said. "She may have been a fan at first, but it has all changed".
"Hey Jess, tell me what you think of this song. I am gonna sing it to Nikole for her 18th birthday", Greg said setting his paper down. He cleared his throat and began to sing.
Girl, I know things been rough
But we can get through this together
Just know you will be in my heart
Now until forever and ever
Your always in my heart
No doubt you're always on my mind
People can doubt our love
But it's only one of a kind
"That's all I got so far, bu I've been writing it all week. I want it to be the perfect song for her to always remember. I am even gonna put it on a CD for her", he assured.
"That was really good Greg. If I knew how to play guitar or could write lyrics, I would do something like that for Laura", I said.
"Jess, why don't you find a song where the lyrics have a deep meaning, where they show how much you care about her, tell me, and I will play guitar and you can sing it to her. Hey, even better, sing it to her @ her formal", Greg said raising an eyebrow.
Matt walked to the front where Greg and I were sitting.
"What are you guy doing?", Matt asked kneeling down.
"We are talking about our girlfriends", Greg answered.
Matt got a mellow look.
"Oh, see, I don't have a girlfriend, so yeah, I'll go back to the movie", Matt said and walked back to the back.
"Poor Matt", I said in sarcasm.
"Haha, yeah exactly. Poor Matt", Greg added.
"Greg, have you ever wondered what it would be like to not have a girlfriend, or not be famous, and to have girls screaming for you every night?", I pondered.
"I have, but I don't know. I am not sure I could that", Greg laughed. "The girls, man, all those girls, they just keep me going".
"But, don't you just wish, you could live a normal life, and not have to hide the fact that we have girlfriends", I asked.
"Yeah, that's why I am thinking of at the concert tonight, totally being up front with the fans, telling them I have a girlfriend. You should too, Jess", Greg briefly said.
"Yeah, but I kinda promised Laura I–"
"Come on boys, we are here, grab your bags and meet us downstairs", Claudia said getting off the bus. Chris, Matt and Frankie followed behind. Greg and I just shrugged and grabbed our bags. We headed off the bus.
*Downstairs for rehearsal*
"Okay guys, this is how it's going to work. We will do one run through of each song", Claudia instructed. "So you better do good. If you do exceptionally good, I will let you guys out a few hours early so you can go to the city and explore. Go to the mall or something, you know".
We did a run through of all the songs like planned. We had all gotten exceptionally good. Claudia told me I was doing really well today. Normally I would be tired and slacking off, but she was impressed. Maybe I was actually getting better, or was it cause I was so eager to get the tour over with to go home and see Laura?
"Wow, guys, I am impressed. Okay, so you know I am a woman of my word. So you guys are free to roam the city. Just take one of the bodyguards with you", she explained.
"But Claudia, then people are gonna mob us", Matt whispered.
Claudia laughed out loud.
"Matt, of course you would if you didn't have bodyguards. Silly you", she said.
Everyone else laughed at Matt's silly remark. We got on the tour bus and we got dropped off at the mall. We all got out and looked at how huge the mall was. We were in complete awe. Claudia stepped out.
"Guys, are you gonna just stand there or wait for the building to freeze?", she said laughing at her own joke.
We looked back and laughed. Then we made our way inside.
"Where to boys?", Chris asked outloud.
We all began to talk at once.
"One at a time, please", Chris said and laughed.
"I know where I need to go to", I said walking off.
