JADE'S POV:
"I'll see you later." Max said the next day as I stood at the merch tent. I sighed.
"Fine. See you later." I whined. I wanted to spend more time with him but he needed to be on the stage in ten minutes. He half smiled.
"Remember. The shows aren't that long." He said as he moved in closer to me. There came those god damn butterflies again.
"I know..but.." He cut me off by leaning in. I didn't do anything. I knew what was coming. He kissed me. I expected myself to see fireworks or see sparks or whatever else they say happens in the movies. But no. Nothing. When he moved away I tried my hardest to hide my disappointment. "See ya." I called as he walked away. He turned around and waved back. I sighed once he turned around.
"Ahem." I heard a girl's voice say. I turned around and noticed two girls who looked to be fifteen. standing there. I walked over to them.
"How can I help you?" I asked politely. They both looked at each other and snickered. I raised my eye brow at them.
"Mmm..you do realize Max has a girlfriend?" She asked in a disgusted voice. I couldn't help but laugh.
"You mean Lexus? They broke up. I'm Jade. I'm also Ronnie's sister." I explained as I shifted from each foot uncomfortably. One of the girls rolled their eyes.
"Suuuure. And really? Well look over there." She ordered as she pointed towards the direction where Max had walked to. I squinted my eyes. There was a girl hugging Max. I felt anxiety drift up into my chest. I frowned once I realized who it was. Lexus. Max had lied to me.
"But-" I began before one of the girls cut me off.
"Anyways. We both want that shirt." She said as she pointed towards a shirt that had looked like the shirt I bought at my show. I nodded my head and grabbed two shirts. I handed them the shirts and took the money from them slowly. From behind them I noticed a guy standing there was black hair. He was also dressed in a white shirt and black skinny jeans. He wore a pair of converse too. He seemed familiar..I was pretty sure he was in Alesana. Either way he was gorgeous. I blinked as I remembered the two girls. I handed them their change. "Thanks.." One of them murmured as they began to walk away.
"What a freak." The other one said. I blushed as I noticed the guy walking up to the tent.
"Hey. You're Jade right? Ronnie's sister?" He asked me once he reached the tent.
"Yep..and you're in Alesana...right?" I asked awkwardly. He chuckled.
"Yep. I'm the lead singer. My name is Shawn." He said casually as he tapped his fingers on the table.
"Nice." I replied. He nodded his head. We stood there awkwardly for a few minutes.
"So..are you dating Max or something?" He asked after a few minutes.
"Uh..I thought I was..but.." I said as my voice trailed off. I felt the tears rise into my eyes as I pictured him hugging Lexus only minutes after he had kissed me. I felt a tear fall down my cheek. "Sorry." I choked as I looked back up at Shawn.
"It's fine." He reassured as he climbed over the table. He pulled me into a hug once he got over to my side. I sniffled as I gripped him tighter. A hug was what I really needed right now. When he pulled away he smiled. I forced out a smile.
"Well..if you ever need anyone to talk to. I'm always here." He informed me. I nodded my head.
"Thanks. My best friend is currently pissed at me for not hooking up her and Ronnie..and well there's somethings I don't feel comfortable talking to Ronnie about. So.." I said as I began to ramble. I felt stupid for rambling..but I couldn't help it. I was one of those people who always rambled about their problems. I fucking hated having that problem.
"Well..since our set is over..lets head back to my bus and talk. Okay?" He asked me. I nodded my head in agreement. I really needed to get my feelings out.
