I woke up to a bus filled with boys groaning about how much their heads hurt. I wanted to help them but once I opened my eyes this morning, I remembered exactly what transpired the night before and I wasn't sure if I was just supposed to lie in bed until everyone got off the bus or to get off of my ass and face the world because hiding myself is not courageous. Well now that I placed it like that, the second choice sounds way better but that might just be my mind setting expectations for me. I don't want to get my hopes up but I don't see a better way out of this so I decided to get out of my bunk and to get in the bathroom before heading into the kitchen.

Once I finished in the bathroom, I opened the bathroom door and noticed that once I did, the whole bus grew silent. I walked out to see exactly what was going on but once I opened the door, I saw Jack right in front of me. We held the stunned faces but I was the first to snap out of it. I looked away and headed to the kitchen to grab something to eat. Everyone seemed to go back to their conversations as soon as the tension went away. I was only half relieved but I guess it was better than not feeling relieved at all.

I grabbed a bagel from the table and divided it into two. I spread jam on one side and cream cheese on the other. But before I could actually bite into one half of the bagel, Rian and Matt Flyzik brought their chairs right in front of me. I didn't really feel like going through a confrontation or whatever but I guess I had to start hearing people out even if I really didn't want to.

"What happened last night?" Rian was the first to ask.

"Nothing," I told them as I started munching on my bagel. I needed a distraction and I'm glad I had bagels in front of me.

"Do you seriously expect us to believe that?" Flyzik asked. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"I'm serious," I told them, "he's mad at me now."

"How in the world did that happen?" Rian raised an eyebrow.

"Well he said some things that described me completely and left me speechless because I couldn't think of a way to answer him back and well he just left me outside after that," I explained.

They looked surprised and they started talking amongst themselves about what he might've said to me. They completely ignored the fact that I was right in front of them and that got me annoyed slightly.

I looked around to see that Alex and Jack were sitting in the booth. Jack had his face in his hands. I wasn't sure if he was just tired or if he was upset. I wanted to go over there and check on him but I was too scared to do so. Zack filled in the space beside Rian completely blocking my view.

"Hey," he greeted.

I didn't know why I was like super mad at Zack but he didn't seem to remember what happened last night so does that mean we're back to square one?

"Um, hi," I greeted back.

Flyzik and Rian turned to face Zack and excused themselves to join Alex and Jack in the booth. I didn't really understand why they were looking for a quick escape but I guess that was irrelevant right now. I mean I need to stare at the bigger picture which is how I can be in good terms with Jack again.

I know it might seem weird that I'd still care about such a thing but it can't be helped. I mean I know that I should be mad at him for a variety of things but no matter what I think about, I can't find a way to stay mad at him. Sure, it sounds cliché but it's exactly how I feel right now. I might as well be a cliché forever and not care because I'm not with Jack and he's not with me. If I could ask for just one wish right now, I'd probably wish for Jack and I to be together without even thinking about it.

"Are you okay?" Zack asked snapping me out of my train of thought.

"Oh, uh, yeah," I stammered, "why do you ask?"

"Nothing, it's just that you haven't touched your food," he said staring at my plate.

"You can have it if you want," I told Zack and he nodded in thanks as he took the other half of my bagel.

"So what are you going to do today?" he asked me but all I did was shrug.

"I'm not sure yet," I told him and he nodded.

"Well we could always-"

"But I think I'll spend it at Cobra's bus," I told Zack and he seemed to hurt at first but disguised his disappointment with a smile.

I didn't know why I did that but for some reason, I really didn't feel like I wanted to spend the day with him today. I mean there are a variety of people I call my friends out of this bus and after this tour which was about to end in a week, I'm not sure when I'll be able to see them again.

"Okay," he said getting up and heading out of the door. He was probably heading for a run or whatever but I was too preoccupied with other things to care.

When I looked up to see what else was happening on the bus, I realized that all eyes were on me. I was tempted to ask them why they were all looking but I couldn't handle the tension so I grabbed some clothes from my bag and walked into the bathroom for a quick shower.

My breathing was not proportioned but all I wanted to do was get out of the bus before anything else happened. So after shampooing and soaping myself, I dried myself off, brushed my teeth and changed into my clothes. I grabbed the clothes I wore from the night before and went out of the bathroom to place them inside my bag.

I grabbed my camera from under the last bunk and was about to head out when I felt a hand on my shoulder. To my surprise, it belonged to Alex. I thought he was going to ignore me for the rest of his life but I guess I was wrong.

"You don't notice anything, do you?" he asked bluntly and I raised my eyebrows at him in confusion.

"What do you mean?" I asked leaning against the bus door.

"He's practically trying to get you to be with him," he said crossing his arms and leaning on the railings.

"It's not like that with him," I explained but all he did was smirk.

"Please, you don't actually believe that, do you?" his sarcasm is getting on my nerves but I had to stretch my patience just a little bit more.

"I do, actually," I told him and he shook his head.

"Whatever but don't say I didn't warn you," he said turning away from me.

"Why are you concerned? I thought you hated me," I asked him making him turn back.

"I don't hate you," he told me in a gentle tone before turning away from me once more.

I just stood there and watched him walk away before heading out of the bus. I didn't really understand anything right now and I wasn't really planning to but I know I had to.

I started walking towards the Cobra merch tent when someone bumped into my side.

"I'm so sor-" I started to say but before I could complete my sentence my mouth completely shut down.

"Hey," Garrett said scratching the back of his head feeling just as embarrassed as me.

"H-hey," I said feeling nervous all of a sudden.

"I sorta wanted to come over here to say goodbye but I didn't really know which way you were heading so I guess that's what caused the bump," he rambled and I smiled, "but yeah, this is our last day here and I just wanted to thank you,"

"What for?" confusion seemed to be something big today.

"Everything," he told me and pulled me into a hug.

Once he let go I asked him to elaborate on what he called 'everything'.

"Well, practically, I just want to thank you for actually considering being with me and spending a few memorable moments with me and for giving me moments to always remember and keep with me, you know? I mean I know our relationship was short but getting to know you and being able to help you are things I'll always treasure because at least in one point in your life and mine, I was able to make you smile," he said and it took me a while to realize that I was actually crying.

He wiped my tears away and hugged me once more whispering that everything would be okay and that Jack and I would be together again. And this time, I believed those words.
