Chapter Seventy-Five: Jessica's P.O.V.

"What am I supposed to say to him?" I asked John as we walked through the mall. I had my cell out and was thinking of a message to send to Dave.

"Just say that you need to talk to him and tell him where to meet you at," he replied, going into Sam Goody.

"Okay," I said, quickly pressing the buttons on my phone. "How's this?" I questioned handing him my phone and the finished product:

Dave: I need 2 talk 2 u. Meet me after house show Tues. in room 315 hotel. Jess

"Well, that includes everything that I told you to include. So, it's just fine," he told me and handing my phone back to me.

I took a deep breath before pressing the 'send' button. Now, all I needed to do was talk to him…in person.

"Have a good flight," John told me as he dropped me off at the airport the next day. "And call me after you talk to Dave, okay?"

"Alright, I promise I will," I replied and gave him a hug. "Thank you so much, John. I don't know what I would do without you."

"Don't worry about it, J. Now go get your man," he said in all seriousness, causing me to laugh before breaking out a smile himself. "I'll see you later."

I climbed onto the plane to Birmingham, Alabama. As much as John told me that he would, I was afraid that Dave wouldn't talk to me. I sat thinking about what I was going to say to him, when before I knew it, we had landed. I caught a cab to the hotel and dropped my things off in the room that I shared with Adam before leaving to the arena.

I walked through the halls before I heard two familiar voices. I quickly hid into a storage room as the two passed and stopped shortly after.

"Oh, H, I forgot to tell you," Ric began. "Remember yesterday, when I told Dave about that text that you sent him?"

"Yeah, I was going to ask you about that but I forgot."

"Well, it was the bitch writer. She wanted to meet Dave tonight after the house show to talk to him. Luckily, I he left his phone when he stormed out and I deleted it before he could read it."

My mouth dropped in shock. I seriously didn't think those two would stoop that low, but I guess I was wrong.

"Good thinking, Ric. Last thing we need is Dave wanting out of Evolution, too. Where is he anyway?"

"Who knows. Probably in some corner, still moping about that stupid writer. I don't think he's ever going to get over her no matter what we do."

'Oh my God' I thought to myself, but I didn't let myself get too excited. I knew how those two were and they could just be saying that in case someone was listening…like me.

"Yeah, well, he better get over her and soon," Paul said and continued walking. "I'm getting really sick and tired of it. He's supposed to be an animal, not a teddy bear."

I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and searched through my outbox messages and found the one that I sent to Dave the day before and re-sent it to his phone. Those two assholes weren't going to keep us apart any longer.
