. Ok yea I know it took waaaayyyyy too long, but artist processes some other bullshit like that. thanks for the feedback its always great encouragement for me to work hard on this. this one will be from Jades perspective, lets see Tori explain to her new friends to her father.

I looked from Tori to the guy and back again. Thankfully she must have thought fast and said something before I could say something."oh who, them"? she said turning to look at us."Carly, Sam Freddie and went to a movie, but we started talking to these guys" she gestured to us. "everyone else is still inside" she ended her excuse with a convincing smile.

"Uh, ok well see you later honey" said the guy as he continued his walk down the street. "who was…" , "my dad" she answered before I could groupe said a collective "ohhhh". After a brief pause we started our walk back to the Bus. As we walked back we told stories about our three years on the road. it seemed like every aspect of what we did fascinated her.

It was like she had never left this little town, like what we were from some far off land and not just California. Which was enough to indulge her. Then she said something that I never could have expected.

" Can i come with you guys"? the whole group was a good few steps ahead of us."wow, w-what" I stuttered surprised at the girls question. "I said can I come with you guys like on the road" she asked it like it was nothing, like she was asking for a quarter.

"why would you wanna come with us...your life here is damn, near perfect" I responded with a tone of indigence in my voice. I had only been in this place for a day and a half and I had know Tori for less but this place was the small town american dream. I had grown up in L.A, not exactly the most family friendly place.

"Look you've only heard the fun parts, there's a lot of unpleasant bullshit You don't know about" I had stopped walking and so had she."I don't care, I love music You guys are awesome" the brunette girl said gesturing with her hands."that may be" I said taking a step forward "but there's more than just that, You're 17 you would need your parent's permission. and you would need to earn your keep. That bus aint cheap". she took a step forward as she responded "I can pay my way,you said Cat is leaving soon. and I can sing. Plus im not in high school so theres no worry about that"

Just then I think we both realised how close we were standing. for just a second I looked at those big brown orbs of hers. Something pulled at my heart strings something that I hadn't felt in a long time."look the whole band loves you and...I would like to have you along with us" I said sympathetically."but what"? she persisted. "well the biggest problem is like what I said befor, you are technically a minor". this was what seemed to stump her. she stood there for a moment chewing on her lip.

"Wait" she said excitedly " i've got an idea. "I'll explain when I get back". with that she turned and started to run down the sidewalk, but not before she turned back and said "keep the bus here for an hour, i'll be back". I watched her run down the street as said to myself "what is this bitch doing"?

after almost two hours off stalling I finally had to tell sikowitz to just go. we had would be opening for a band called Stillwater in a day and a half and we needed to be on the road to Cleveland.

Just as we had pulled out into the street there she was, running down the sidewalk waving her hands like mad holding a duffle bag and a back pack. " stop the bus, NOW"! I shouted from the back. as the bus lurched to a halt I ran to the front and opened the door. Panting she looked up at me " got room for *huf huf* for one more"? "just get on".

"hey guys, I made it" she said with a sheepish smile. everyone on the bus greeted her Individually, "hey" "glad to have you aboard" " oh my god im so im leaving in 2 weeks but your so awsome Tori". Kat rounded out the greetings with a hug. "calm down girl" I said pulling the red headed girl from Tori.

I lead her to the back, we had a spare bunk bed just below mine. she put her stuff there and we sat at the table the only that morning we had talked. It oddly seemed like ages ago that we had spoken but it had been less than a day. "so you have got to tell me, how the hell did you get your parents to let you go"?

'Well, ok this is what I told him…"
