Hello to all my subscribers! I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome reviews. They all made me so happy. Thanks again I love when you tell me what you think.

Chapter 15…

A few hours later in the middle of the night the busses stop at a gas station to fill up. Naya jumps off the dancer's bus and runs over to the girl's bus. The doors open and she climbs in.

"Hey guys! I'm back!" She looks around for the girls but no one was awake. She smiles not caring she will see them in the morning. She walks in the dark to her bunk. She opens the curtain and looks at in. There are only torn edges of pictures of her and Heather left on the walls. She climbs into the bed and lifts up her pillow to make herself more comfortable. She notices a piece of paper picks it up and reads it.

"Naya,

I just wanted to say thank you for coming back to our bus. I don't want our break up (god that is so hard to write) to ever stand between us girls. I really want to be friends with you not just pretend. You were my best friend first and I want that still. If it takes me the rest of my life to show you how sorry I am. I have changed this time I finally realized what's important to me…

Xoxo

Hemo."

Naya smiles, lies down and closes her eyes falling to sleep.

-Next morning

Naya walks out to the main room of the bus and girls are all there to welcome her. They all smile and Lea runs up and hugs her instantly.

"Thanks for coming back it was too long."

Naya smiles. "You are right I'm sorry I ever left. I shouldn't have…" Heather gets up and hands Naya her coffee she made her.

"Shh really I understood why you left but things are different now." Heather says.

Naya looks at Heather. "Are they?"

Heather nods, "Yes you'll see."

The girls sit down at the table and enjoy some well-deserved time together. They talk about how the shows are going.

"I can't believe we only have a hand full of stops left in our tour." Dianna says to the girl girls.

"I know it's been crazy fast so far." Jenna adds.

Naya is looking at twitter on her phone. She rolls her eyes at something and puts her phone down on the table. Heather notices this. "Is there something wrong?"

"Oh nothing, it's really nothing." Heather grabs Naya's phone knowing it's not just nothing. Heather reads her last few tweets. Naya takes her phone back. "Really Hemo it's nothing."

"Are you talking about that person that tweeted Phoenix show + Hemo's mom = disaster?" Naya says nothing.

Heather reaches out and touches Naya's hand. "It's okay don't sweat it." Heather picks up Naya's phone and hands it to Naya. "Tweet this back to that person, Hemo says she is very excited for that show and not worried about a thing."

Naya smiles, "Yea?"

Heather smiles back, "Yea."

The other girls smile also noticing that Heather may be taking a turn for the better finally. They pull into Boston and have a great performance. After the show Heather is packing her things up in the dressing room. She is talking on her cell phone. Naya comes in and starts to grab her things.

"I love you too. I miss you so much. I just thought I would call because I was thinking about you guys a lot tonight."

Naya doesn't mean to snoop but she can't help it because for some reason Heather is talking louder than usual on the phone.

"I'm good Grandma how are you guys doing?" Heather says happily, she then sits on the couch. Naya grabs her things to leave so they can talk in private. Heather grabs Naya's hand and pulls the phone away from her face. "Stay."

Naya smiles and nods she then sits down on the couch with Heather. "That's good Grandma. I just wanted to call you also to tell you I'm okay. I don't know if mom has talked with you guys…" Heather grabs Naya's hand. "Grandma I know you know who I really am." Heather laughs. "I love you guy's thank you Grandma. How is she doing? I understand. No we don't talk anymore; I just can't waste my time when she can't accept me. Thanks Grandma I love you so much." Naya smiles at how proud of Heather she is. "Okay talk to you soon…bye." Heather ends the call.

Naya and Heather look at one another. "Thanks I just wanted you to be there for me I'm sorry I was just nervous to call her. But I needed to finally do it. She doesn't have a problem with me being gay. It's so awesome." Naya looks at Heather still holding her hand tightly. Heather drops Naya's hand.

"Hemo…"

They lock eyes again. Then Amber comes in the room. "You guys Hank said if we get our butts out there we totally get to go to Taco Bell."

Amber laughs. She pulls on Naya's shirt trying to get her off the couch moving. "Oh did I interrupt something?"

"I don't know did she Nay?" Heather says looking up at Naya who is now standing next to Amber.

Naya shakes her head, "No..come on lets go I'm so hungry for Taco Bell."

Heather grabs Heather's hand and they all leave together. The next couple shows go smoothly. Heather and Naya are finally on the path of friendship again. They are back to their goofing off with each other. Neither one has had the courage and talk about their feelings yet.

-On the bus late one night. Heather is writing in a notebook at the table while everyone has gone to bed. She hears a familiar alarm from Naya's phone go off. She looks at the clock and its 2:01 Naya stumbles out to the main room just woken up. Heather looks up at her.

"Nay you okay?" Heather asks.

Naya grabs a diet coke from the frig and sits down with Heather on the couch. "Yes, I just wanted to talk with you and I wanted to wait till the cameras were off.

Heather becomes nervous and shuts her notebook. "Wha..t did you want to talk about?"

"You, I just wanted to tell you I'm proud of you. I mean you seem to have it all right now. You are talking with your grandparents again you realize that you will be okay without your mom and you seem a lot happier." Naya says to Heather as she puts her hand on Heather's leg.

Heather looks at Naya and shakes her head. "Thanks, like that letter I wrote you I've really realized what's important in life. I thought I had to have my mom in my life to be happy but I can't base my happiness around a person that can't even accept who I am and who I am is…this."

Heather leans in and kisses Naya. After they kiss Heather pulls away and is crying. "I'm so sorry."

Naya looks confused, "You are sorry for kissing me?"

Heather shakes her head, "No I'm so sorry for everything Nay. I don't want to rush this. Can we go on a date? Like tomorrow before the show we can get lunch or something. I want to do this right this time."

Naya says nothing then she wipes Heather's tears off her cheeks. "Yes, that sounds perfect Hemo."

Naya leans into kiss Heather again and her phone vibrates on the table startling them. Naya grabs it looking at it. "Shit!"

Heather scoots near Naya and looks at her phone.

Nickayala: Um yeah Nay happy for you and Hemo but they left the cameras on just a FYI lol.

Naya looks at Heather nervous she is going to freak. "That is hilarious!"

Naya smiles, "You aren't scared your mom or someone saw that?"

Heather shakes her head, "No way! I feel sorry for you I mean you; you just woke up and are in your jammies."

Naya elbows Heather, "Haha I look pretty damn hot in my jammies thank you." Naya stands up off the couch. "Speaking of bed I'm going back there."

Heather stands up as well. "Sounds good." They walk back to their bunks. They stand in front of bunks. Heather looks up at hers. "Night."

Heather hugs Naya, "Night, see you tomorrow. It was nice tonight. I can't wait for our date. Have your agent call me to set up a time."

Heather laughs, "Will do.."

Heather climbs up in her bunk. Naya lies in her bed. She starts to grab for her ring and forgot she look it off. She digs in her bag to put it on. She can't find it she tares her whole bag apart looking for it. "No no no!" she exclaims.

Heather hears this and pokes her head out of her bunk. "You okay Naya?"

Naya tries to hold her nervousness back not wanting Heather to know she lost their ring. "Yeah I'm fine go back to sleep."

Naya starts to cry how could she have lost their ring? Why did she ever take it off? She loves Heather so much.

-The next morning around 11:00, Atlanta, GA

The bus is parked outside the FOX Theater. Heather walks out of bathroom all dressed up. She walks out in the main room where Amber and Lea are eating breakfast.

"You look so nice are you excited for your date with Naya? Where are you going?" Amber asks Heather.

"Thanks, haha I forgot that was broadcasted last night I was wondering how you knew. I have to go run errand before our date. Can you guys tell Naya that I'll meet here back here in a two hours?"

"We have to be ready for our meet and greets by 3:00. Don't be late." Lea says being her usual bossy self.

"We won't. I'm so excited. Don't forget to tell her." The girls nod and Heather leaves the bus and walking over to one of their private cars. The driver gets out and opens the back door for her. "Do you think I can take the car myself? Please?"

"Ms. Morris, I have to drive you." Heather pouts.

"I won't tell I promise."

The man looks around to make sure no one is around. "Ok but please hurry."

Heather nods, "Don't worry I will. Thanks." Heather gets in the car and drives off.

Back in the bus Lea is putting her bowl in the sink and she hears Heather's ringer going off. It's an extremely loud annoying old fashion phone noise. Everyone hates it and are always begging her to buy a cool ring tone like theirs but she won't. It keeps going as Lea goes to turn it off she then hears Naya.

"Hemo! Answer your phone!" Naya then kicks the ceiling trying to wake Heather up.

The phone stops ringing and Naya gets up out of bed and opens up Heather's curtain. "Hemo what.." She notices Heather is not in bed. Lea walks up to Naya.

"She must have forgotten her phone."

"What? Where did she go?"

Lea shrugs her shoulders, "I don't know she said she would meet you back here in two hours."

"I'm assuming you guys know about the date, she better not stand me up."

"She won't stop it."

-About an hour later after Heather has gotten extremely lost trying to find a grocery store. She runs in just wanting to grab some of Naya and her favorite things for their date. She walks as fast as she can getting some sushi, a card, flowers, candy, and few other things. She checks out and goes towards the car. There suddenly is a tap on her back. She turns around at there is little girl standing there with who she thinks is her mom.

"Hi you are Heather Morris right?"

Heather nods, "Yes?"

The woman speaks up over the little girl, "I'm sorry Heather my daughter saw you in the store she is a huge fan. She is fighting cancer and it would mean so much to her if you took a picture with her."

Heather smiles and hugs the little girl. "Defiantly! I would love nothing more."

Time gets away from her as she visits with the little girl. She looks at her watch realizes it is now two hours since she has been gone. "I'm so sorry guys but I really have to go."

The little girl smiles and Heather gives her one last hug. "Thank you Heather." The little girl says.

"No thank you." Heather says while smiling.

The woman leans into Heather, "Thank you."

Heather nods and gets in the car. Reaching for her phone in her purse so she can call Naya and explain she will be a late. She knows Naya will understand she doesn't want her to think she is ditching her. She realizes she does not have her phone. "SHIT!"

-Back on the bus Naya is pacing around the bus. Lea and Dianna are watching her. Dianna is biting her nails nervous for Naya.

"Where is she? Seriously guys is this a joke on me or something? You would tell me if her mom got to her or something right?"

Lea trying to calm Naya down. "She is probably just lost or something. I know nothing."

Naya looks at her phone seeing if there is anything about Heather on the live feed. She notices on twitter there is some person that says something about spending an hour with Heather at a supermarket just now.

"Okay some lady just said on twitter she spent an hour with Hemo. She is spending time with fans but she isn't here with me?"

Naya not completely trusting Heather starts to get angry.

-About an hour later Heather who has been stuck in traffic decides to take back road instead to avoid any more traffic. She then realizes she is lost again in the middle of nowhere. She then suddenly hears a loud pop and pulls over to the side of the road realizing she blew a tire. "Seriously! Come on!" She gets the spare out and there is no spare. "Why is there no spare?" She grabs her purse and starts walking to the nearest gas station. It takes her like 20 minutes to get to the nearest gas station and goes in. "Can I borrow your phone a blew a tire and I need to call a tow."

"Can't you use your cell phone mamm?" The cashier says.

Heather who is now extremely frustrated because she is so late shakes her head. "I don't have one please."

"Fine, but because I don't want you calling China or something I'm dialing the tow and just calling them for you and you have to give the phone back right after."

Heather rolls her eyes. "Fine whatever." Secretly wishing she could have called Naya also and explained.

-Back on the bus 2:58. Naya is now getting ready to leave the bus for the show prep. She is very upset realizing Heather was just messing with her and doesn't want to be with her. Lea walks up to Naya and puts her arm around her.

"I don't think she stood you up on purpose Naya. She has changed."

Naya laughs as they walk out, "No she hasn't."

They walk down the steps to leave the bus and doors open up. Heather is standing there all dirty and her hair is a mess. "Naya! I'm so sorry."

Naya walks out and the camera is on them. "Heather don't I don't want to talk to you."

Heather takes Naya's hand and pulls her back into the bus. Lea is left there with the cameras. "You guys can keep the feed on me if you want but I know you won't..haha."

Back in the bus Naya stands there with her arms crossed. "Where were you? I saw you were with some fans but you couldn't be with me? Is this all a joke?"

"That fan was a little girl that has cancer; I knew you would understand that. And as for everything else that happened it was just bad luck. I wanted to be here."

"Bad luck?" Naya laughs, "If you wanted to be here you would have been here Heather."

"Naya I couldn't get to you, I realized something since we broke up I realized I choose you. You are all that I want."

Heather pulls out her necklace that had Naya's ring on it. "That's my ring how did you get that?"

"I saw when you put it in your bag a while ago. I couldn't bare it being in there. I couldn't let us die. So if you weren't going to wear it I would. I wanted to have you near me."

"Why?" Naya asks.

"Because it's a part of us. Whatever happens it's our ring."

Naya says nothing.

"Say something Naya."

Naya pulls Heather close, "I love you Hemo." Naya kisses Heather.

"I love you too Naya."

It's not over don't worry. Thanks for reading. Tell me what you think.
