I made my way into the lit hotel room, was Ted really still up? It was past one a.m. and we had an early morning of traveling ahead of us. I set my purse on the desk and opened my suitcase to grab a pair of sweats and tank top to sleep in. As I turned to walk towards the bathroom to change, the door opened and Ted stepped out. "How'd recording go?" he questioned kissing my cheek.

"Good, I even wrote a new song while I was there. Well started one," I replied with a smile thinking about the song that I had started writing. "Why are you still up? It's past one and we have an early day."

"Oh, I couldn't sleep."

"Why?"

"I kept having a nightmare, and I couldn't sleep."

"The same nightmare?" He nodded as he sat back down on the bed. "Well just try to go to sleep, I'll be back in a few minutes." A yawn escaped his mouth as he lay down on the bed, covering his body with the comforters. I walked into the bathroom and immediately gasped as I saw the dark mark on my neck. "I'm going to kill him…" I whispered to myself. I slipped out of my clothes and into the sweats and tank top that I had taken out of my suitcase. Before I walked out of the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and threw my hair up into a messy bun. I heard him softly snoring once I walked back into the room, placing my clothes in my suitcase and zipping it up. I climbed into the bed and rested on the opposite side, as far from Ted as I could. I couldn't sleep that night, only thinking about the mess that I had created.

"Morning beautiful…" I heard someone whisper sitting next to me on the bus. Turning I saw Randy next to me, looking gorgeous as ever. My eyes burned from the lack of sleep of the night before but managed to smile. "You look tired."

"I'm beat…"

"Did you not sleep last night?" I shook my head and rested it on the head rest. "Where's Ted?"

"Checking to make sure we didn't forget anything. He'll be back in a few minutes."

"Why didn't you sleep?" I sighed and held my head in my hands.

"I just couldn't get everything off my mind. I've been trying to think of a way t-"

"What are you doing here?" I looked up to see Ted standing over us. He was glaring at Randy who as now standing up from his seat.

"She looked upset, so I came to check on her. We might not be friends anymore Ted, but she and I are friends. You just need to realize that." Randy hissed. He walked towards the front of the bus before getting off.

"Are you really friends?" I looked up at Ted who had a worried expression his face.

"Yes, and if you don't like it too bad," I responded taking a drink of the water that I had with me. "He has always been one of my good friends."

"Was something wrong? I mean that's why he said he was over here."

"No, I'm fine. Just tired is all." He nodded and sat next to me, intertwining our hands, though mine fell limp against his. There was no spark anymore, nothing to keep me interested. It was time to tell him the truth, time to let it out. I turned to face him, my mouth open but I quickly shut it. I had a long drive to go, and I wasn't about to ruin it. I would wait until I got to the next show.
