"You were doing what?" The group looked at us. I glanced at Maka's slightly nervous yet casual expression. I was about to be sweating bullets. Liz was the only who looked skeptical.
"I was sleeping almost the whole day and when I woke up I practiced Bass" I said again, this time more annoyed. Or at least I tried to sound annoyed instead of nervous. Maka and I decided they shouldn't know about our little…date. We will barely admit to ourselves that we kissed so we aren't telling them.
"And while he did that I was reading and watching TV and Listening to music. Not in that order and not all at once." She said matter-of-factly. She was quite the actress, I must say. I barely know why we kissed. I know two obsessed fan girls pushed our heads together then…I just lost it along with Maka I guess…but why? It's just like those obsessed fan girls on that like to pair up people randomly. They just wanted to see it happen. Wait. People want Maka and I to end up together? I mean…on the news it seems like we don't know each other. We haven't really showed any affection toward each other at all. When we're on the news with each other we stand as far away as possible from each other. I just don't understand.
"Well, whatever. I've got to go see the music store downtown, my guitar was messed up and I need new strings. Black*Star needs more of those sticks he likes for the drums so we'll be leaving with Crona who'd like to get more music sheets" Kid stood up with the rest of the guys. "You wanna come, Soul?"
"Nah, I don't feel like it" I replied flatly. I saw Maka and Tsubaki get up "We have to get things from the store, I need new shirts and Maka helps me decide so, we'll be off too. Wanna come, Liz and Patty?" Patty nodded and happily skipped outside. "liz?"
"no, I'll stay here with Soul. I wanted to uh…" She glanced at me "get to know him better. We never talk." She smiled at her friends and they shrugged and walked off the bus. I narrowed my eyes at Liz.
"So. Why did you REALLY stay behind?" I asked. She crossed her arms and sat next to me on my bed after climbing up the ladder. She crossed her legs.
"Cut the bullshit, Soul. You and Maka were obviously lying to us. What did you guys do yesterday?" She snapped. Her glare was cutting through my very soul. I can't….
"FINE! Maka and I went out on a date at the amusement park, it was one of the best days of my life, and when we were at a Karaoke place with added Bowling, some fans pushed us together and made us kiss, and I didn't know that was Maka I was kissing and I don't know what came over me but it felt so nice so I just ended up…kissing her more. Than she started to also and we ended up practically making out and I found this picture that those girls took on their phone of us…kissing, and Maka told me to delete it but I couldn't, and I don't know why so I sent it to myself. I don't know whats been coming over me lately, I'm started to get these weird feelings about Maka. I want to be with her and protect her but I haven't felt like that since…Lilly. And I'm afraid of getting hurt again and I don't know what to do because just last week me and Maka were worst enemies but now I can't imagine life without her. She makes me so happy! I don't want to fall in love but Maka and I kissing was electric and I've never felt that before! Why do I keep rambling? I sound like a GIRL!" I took in a huge breath, and then said "what do I do? And don't tell Maka I told you about yesterday or the kiss or the feelings I'm having. "
I panted from talking so much. Liz just looked like she was thinking. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
"Well, damn." She said finally. I rolled my eyes. I was quiet for a while until I felt a little tear roll down my cheek. No, cool guys don't cry.
"I miss her, Liz." I said quietly. She sighed and put an arm around me and I put my hand in my hands.
"I do, too. " She replied sadly. "But you obviously care a lot about Maka. I know you do. So, just…I don't know"
"Liz, I don't want to be in a relationship yet. I'm not ready." I told her quickly.
"Soul. Listen." She said firmly. I looked up at her questioningly. She started leaning in and gave me a quick peck on the lips. I backed away quickly.
"What the hell, Liz?" I snapped, wiping my mouth repeatedly. She laughed hysterically at my disgusted reaction.
"See? You only want Maka's lips right? It doesn't feel the same? You really like her, Soul, so just go for it." She said popping off my bed as I frowned at her. "And don't worry, if you want your space, I'll keep everyone at a distance. And you tell NO ONE of that kiss. If you do, I'll hang you on a flag pole by your dick. "I cringed at the thought, as she walked out of the room. Ow…
I jumped off my bed and got dressed, putting on blue jeans, my worn out converse, and a baggy basketball uniform tank-top that said "Lakers" . I stretched out and stuck on my black headband.
"Be right back, I'm gonna go get a Milkshake from down the street, okay? "I said passing Liz who was on the couch. I saw her nod and I left.
I was walking down the street and I saw another tour bus pull in to the parking lot. Good thing we're leaving today, because that's Bloody Tears. I saw Z step off the bus wearing a studded belt, bracelet, and choker. We wore black skinny jeans and a black V-Neck with black combat boots. I sighed and kept walking. Ignore them Soul…
I saw his sister, Jade Flash, step off the bus, scaling into a shorter 5'4" next to her brother and I cringed a little at her ridiculous amount of piercings. I could never do that, too many holes in my face…and where ever else she has them…
She had long black hair with neon green highlights, she wore a too short leather skirt, a leather jacket that went halfway down her torso and rolled up sleeves and had a neon green tank-top underneath. She also had stiletto boots that went up to mid thigh. She was the drummer for Bloody Tears. I shivered. Those two and the rest of them tormented Soul Fire and The Black Widows, ever since we met them. They just think they're better than us.
Next to step off the bus was the guy who Z was usually seen with. God these guys belong in a Halloween horror movie. Where good bands go scary.
Darien Jamal, the bass player, had black Scene hair that was shoulder length in back and covered his right eye, he had piercings similar to Jayy Von Monroe from Blood On The Dance Floor, Light brown skin, Not much muscle whatsoever, 5'9" in height , brown eyes (he puts white contacts in for shows), and he was really skinny. He wore a regular black t-shirt with yellow skinny jeans and black and yellow converse with a batman symbol on the side.
The last to step off the bus was Calloway Hale Blackburn, the vocals. He had bright red hair, almost kool-aid red, or cherry red, or if possible a NEON red. Naturally. He was about 5'6" being taller than Maka, standing at 5'5" and shorter than me standing at 5'8". He was more muscular than the others but even then, he wasn't as strong as Z or Me. He wore red checkered skinny jeans and a Blood On The Dance Floor t-shirt with his hair tied into a ponytail.
Z'x sister, Jade, had this weird creepy thing for Me and Kidd. Kidd's in the clear because he's with patty, but I'm scared to death of her. Calloway has a thing for Tsubaki and he even released that to the paparazzi, making Black*Star SO mad. In short, we had to buy a new TV afterward. Darien and Liz once had something. For a week. He still obsesses over her but he scares her.
I kept my head down, slipping my sunglasses out of my back pocket. Keep your fucking head down, Soul. HEAD. DOWN. Do NOT let them see you. I walked a little faster until I heard them start saying "is that Soul?" "look it's little Soul!" "aww look at souly-kun!" that last one was feminine so it was Jade. Shit Shit Shit Fuck ShitFuck Shit Shit SHIT SHIT! I kept cursing in my head as I gave them I quick nod.
I heard quick , heavy footsteps behind me. It has to be Z, the rest are too freaking skinny. Shit. I tried to walk faster, not bothering to keep my head down. I thought I saw something in the bushes but it must have been nothing. Z caught up to me and his pale hand grabbed my shoulder and harshly turned me around.
"Soul, buddy, you didn't say a proper hello to me." Z snapped, half mocking, half threatening. I rolled my eyes and looked up at him.
"Look, I don't want to start anything. What do you want? I'm really not in the mood, Z." I said firmly, making complete eye contact. He evilly glared at me as I noticed in the corner of my eye another rustle in the bushes. What the HELL is that? He grabbed my chin and turned my head back to face him.
"What did you just say to me?" He said angrily. I sighed, frustrated, and gave him an are-we-seriously-doing-this-now? look. He growled and gave me a good punch in the gut. Oh god…I keeled over a little and he elbowed my harshly in the back and I collapsed to the ground. Oh god that hurts…he stood on my arm and I felt and heard a small crack. I yelped in pain and screamed at him to get off. I don't have the energy to fight back…
"Hah, no. I won't get off until you smile at my sister and say hi, and wave at her. and ENJOY IT." He yelled at me. He got off me and I stood up weakly. He shoved me so I'd be facing his group. The scratches from the pavement starting to bleed into my mouth, I smiled weakly and waved a little to Jade, and said a quick "Hi Jade" and Z shoved me a little.
I turned to go back to the tour bus, my arm throbbing intensely. I felt a hot tear sting the cuts on my face. I hissed a little in pain. I began walking slowly to the bus, feeling completely humiliated, I got onto the grass to get to the other parking lot, but then I felt a kick in my back and I fell over again. I felt my foot bend weird and my ankle go through a quick sharp pain then a continuous dull after pain. I must've twisted my ankle. Or it just hurts.
I rolled over onto my back and saw Z laughing as he walked off back to his group who left afterward. I was all alone, in pain laying in the grass. I closed my eyes, trying to consentrate on where it hurt, but I felt pain almost everywhere. Hm. I felt my pocket with my better arm and found I had left my phone in the bus. Can't call anyone for help.
Maybe I can just lay here for a while...
