~Chapter Twenty-Nine~
~Kendall's POV~
The next few days were really tense. Not only was I getting ready to go on tour, but Jade was also getting stuff ready for Sky to move in with us.
She seemed fine on the outside, but I knew she was hurting. She had refused to talk about her break down. And I didn't want to push her, I wanted the last few days we had before tour started to be peaceful.
"Baby, I gotta head to the arena." I called from the bathroom.
Jade walked into the bathroom and leaned on the counter next to me.
"I'm gonna miss you."
I pulled her to me and kissed her, she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me close to her. I pulled out of the kiss and kissed her forehead.
"I really wish you were coming with me."
"I know, I wish I was too." She ran her fingers through my hair. "We'll be there the California dates and then for the Michigan date."
"It won't be the same." I pouted.
"I know, but you'll be okay." She pulled away from me. "You need to go before you're late."
"Are you sure you can't come?"
"Yes, I'm sure I can't come."
"Not fair."
"When has life ever been fair?"
"That's beside the point."
"God, you're so cute when you pout."
"Cute enough to get you to come with me."
"No, sorry Love."
"I had to try one last time."
"I know you did." She kissed me one more time before walking out of the bathroom.
I shook my head and followed behind her.
When I got down stairs Logan was sitting in the living room talking to Gracie. By the look on her face I could tell she wasn't happy that she wasn't coming with us.
"Daddy, why can't I go on tour?"
"Because Mommy said no."
"But I want to go."
"I know, but you need to stay here and help Mommy."
"I guess." She pouted.
"Come here." I opened my arms for a hug.
She got off the couch and ran over to me throwing her arms around me.
"I'm gonna miss you so much Daddy."
"I know, I'm gonna miss you too."
"Are you sure you can't hide me on your bus?"
"I would, but Mommy would be really made at me."
"Oh yeah, she'd really miss wouldn't she?"
"Yes I would." Jade walked into the room and Logan stood up. "Why don't you go with Daddy and Logie so you can spend as much time with them as you can?"
"Really?" She looked up at Jade with a hopeful look on her face.
"Really, go have fun."
"You're the best Mommy ever." She hugged Jade's legs.
Jade just laughed and kissed the top of her head.
"Go on before you guys are late."
"Going." I laughed. "Come on Princess Gracie, let's go."
"Bye Mommy, see you later." Gracie let go Jade and took my hand.
"By Baby, be good for Daddy and Logie, okay."
"I will Mommy."
Jade walked us to the door and stood there waving as we left. I could tell by the smile on her face that she was up to something. What that something was, I don't know.
~Jade's POV~
As soon as I had the house to myself, I went up to Gracie's room and packed everything she would need for the tour. When I was done with that, I packed up Fluffy Marshmallow's stuff. I knew Gracie would be so pissed if I didn't bring her along too. Plus I was hoping Fluffy Marshmallow would help keep Gracie out of trouble.
When I was done I double checked that I had everything I would need to for the two month tour.
God why was I doing this? Right because I love these boys, I just hope nothing bad happens this time around. That would be so awesome. No trips the ER, and no break ups.
"Jade, Honey?"
"Upstairs Kathy."
I was bringing my suite cases out of my room as She was coming up the stairs.
"Need any help?"
"If you could grab Gracie's stuff that would be great."
"Not a problem." She smiled at me and grabbed Gracie and Fluffy Marshmallow's things. "So am I taking Fluffy Marshmallow?"
"No I'm gonna take her with us. Gracie would be mad if I didn't." I laughed. "Plus I'm sure Logan and Carlos will help take care of her."
"How is that you have them so tightly wrapped around you finger?"
"I'm the Momma Bear." I shrugged and headed down stairs. "I have no idea what I did."
"I can tell that they all love you."
"They are my boys; I would do anything for them."
"I really am so happy Kendall found you. I couldn't picture anyone better for my son."
I turned and looked at her. "You have no idea how much that means to me."
She smiled and gave me a one arm hug.
"Alright let's go before I start crying." I laughed.
She laughed and helped me carry everything out to her car.
The whole way to the venue my stomach was in knots, I was so nervous that Kendall was going to be so mad at me. I should have just told him I was coming. I could so just picture this not going well at all. Damnit, why was I doing this again?
"Stop worrying about it. Everything will be okay."
"I just can't help but worry." I looked at her. "How can you know that it will be?"
"He will be mad, but he will get over it. Kendall loves you so much."
"I should have told him."
"Yes you should have, but there's nothing you can really do about it now." She shrugged and pulled into the parking lot. "Just make the best of it as you can."
"God I have no idea what I would do without you." I laughed as she parked by my bus.
"I'm sure you'd be fine." She laughed. "Want help putting this stuff on the bus.
"Please."
"Not a problem."
When we were done with that we headed inside. I wish I hadn't, there were people running all over the place. It was chaos and I really hope it didn't foreshadow how the whole tour will go. It would drive me crazy.
"My God, is it always this crazy."
"Not when I'm in charge it's not." I shook my head. "Let's go see if we can find the guys."
"Good idea."
We started walking around looking for the boys, when the head of security stopped us.
"Can I help you ladies?"
"We're looking for the band."
"Are you two supposed to be back here?"
"I should hope so."
"Names please."
"Kathy and Jade Schmidt."
"Kathy is on here, but Jade is not."
"You have to be fucking kidding me. Let me see that." I took the clip board out of his hands and looked at it.
My names wasn't on the list.
"I wasn't lying."
I glared at him as I handed him back his stupid clip board back. I pulled out my cell phone and called Allen.
"Thank God, where are you?"
"I'm being detained, my name's not on the fucking list."
"Shit, are you for real?"
"Do you think I would be calling you if I was making it up?"
"No, I know you're not. Give your phone to whoever you're dealing with."
I just handed my phone to the security guard.
After short conversation with Allen, he handed my phone back to me.
"Sorry about that Mrs. Schmidt, you are cleared to go on back."
"Thank you, do you know where the boys are?"
"The green room is down the hall on the left."
"Thank you so much."
He just nodded and walked away.
"What the hell was that?"
"I have no idea, but someone's head is gonna roll."
She just laughed as we headed towards the green room. As soon as I stepped in the room, I saw the relief on Allen's face.
"Thank God you are here."
"What the hell is going on?"
"I don't know everything is messed up. We had everything worked out last night and when we got here this afternoon it was all messed up."
"Okay give me the time table."
Allen handed over his clip bored.
"Headset too."
He handed it over, and I put it on, making sure it was working.
"So what has been done?"
"They've eaten, but that's about it. We have about twenty minutes unlit sound check."
"Okay, I'm gonna go see what's going on. I want you to find another headset and get them ready for sound check and then the meet and greet. Can you do that?"
"Yes."
"Good, you have 15 minutes."
I walked over to Kendall, he was just shaking his head.
"See everything is falling apart without you."
"Mmhmm, give me a kiss so I can go kick someone's ass okay?"
"Fine." He kissed me softly. "Go kick ass."
"Love you Babe." I laughed and walked from the room.
I found the head of the stage crew under the stage messing with something.
"What's going on Ron?"
"Good to see you again Jade." He laughed. "We've gotten everything taken care of. We found a few loose nuts, but they should all be fixed now."
"Anything else?"
"I think Amy needs you in hair and make-up."
"Awesome. Do you know who's at the front door?"
"Mark and Tyler."
"Thanks. Make sure the stage is clear, I'm gonna give them the okay to let the VIPs in."
"Will do Boss Lady."
"Later Ron." I laughed and head backstage to find Amy.
"Mark, you on the air."
"I'm here Jade, it's good to hear your voice."
"It's good to be back. Wait five minutes and then let the VIPs in okay?"
"Got it Boss Lady."
"God is that my new nickname?"
"Well we were told Momma Bear was for the boys only." He laughed.
"By who?"
"Princess Gracie."
"Of course." I laughed. "I guess Boss Lady is fine with me."
He just laughed as I opened the door to the dressing rooms.
"Amy, my dear I am here to the rescue." I could see the relief on her face. "What's going on?"
"Ryan, is being a pain in my ass."
"What did she do?"
"She doesn't like how I do her hair, so she wants someone else to come in."
"Don't worry about it Amy, I will take care of it. Do you have an assistant you can bring in to deal with her?"
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Thank you, Boss Lady."
"Not a problem."
"Thank God, Cam is here I will let her do Ryan's hair."
"Let me know if you have any more problems, I will be going to talk to her right now."
"Thank you again."
"It's why I'm the Boss Lady."
"That is so true." She laughed.
"Just to let you know, we're running a tad late, so we'll have to move quickly tonight okay?"
"Not a problem Boss Lady."
I nodded and headed out to find Ryan. God I really wanted to kick her ass. The tour hadn't even started yet and she was already causing so many problems for me. She will learn not to mess with me, sooner or later, she will. Hopefully for her it will be sooner.
I found Ryan in an unused room. When she saw me she just glared at me.
"Can the attitude Ryan."
"You can't talk to me that way."
"Stop acting like a child. I have found someone else to do your hair for each show, this will be the only change I will be making. The boys will be doing their sound check soon and then their meet and greet. As soon as they are done, you need to be ready to do yours."
"I'm glad you're not coming on tour."
"Oh, Babe they didn't tell you?" She frowned at me. "I will be on tour, as the tour manager."
Her mouth just dropped open.
"Get ready for sound check."
I walked out of her room and headed back to the stage. The boys were getting ready to do their sound check. Kendall grinned at me as I walked over to them.
"Boss Lady, VIPs are on their way."
"Thanks Mark. Wanna tell me why you're not head of security?"
"Don't know Boss Lady."
"I see. Well I will figure it out."
"Nick's not that bad, Boss Lady."
"If you say so." I rolled my eyes. "Okay what time do the doors open?"
"6:30."
I looked at my watch and it was going on 4:30, not bad.
"Okay, we should be good."
"Let me know if anything changes."
"Will do."
I took my headset as Kendall walked over to me.
"Are you sure you don't want to come along?"
"You are so persisting aren't you?"
"Actually, I'm being selfish."
"I have to go down to the sound booth."
"I know, good luck kiss?"
"Good luck, Baby." I kissed him and then pulled away. "I will see you guys after sound check."
"Mommy, I wanna come."
"Alrighty Love Bug, let's go."
"Yay!" She grabbed my hand as we headed towards the floor and the sound booth.
This was going to be a fun tour. I could already tell. I pray all the problems we have will be this small.
God do I hope they will be.
