Chapter 5.
The next morning we woke up early and snuggled for a little longer. "Thanks for coming to find me last night Lex." he sat up leaning on his elbows to look at me, Jacey, he said. I will always be there for you when you need me. This time, I really felt like he meant it. After that we took a shower and checked out of my hotel, we had sound check for tonights show, and I had some apologizing to do to my band, and I wasn't looking forward to it either.
"Jace do you want me to come to your bus with you?" I considered it the whole way to the venue, but decided against it for the most part. Ummm, I said. Well how about this. You walk me on to the bus, kiss me goodbye :D and then make a quick getaway Cassy is bound to be super pissed, and you don't need to witness that lol.
We walked to the bus in silence, me figuring out what the hell I was going to say to my friends, and who knows what Gaskarth was thinking about. Once we got there I took a deep breathe and let it out. Okay, I said. Let's do this. We walked in and I felt three pairs of eyes death glaring me, I knew this was coming. Lex and I said our goodbyes and he gave me a swift kiss goodbye. Those same three death glaring pairs of eyes got huge, which made me blush. And then Lex was gone, and I was alone with my friends.
"Guys I'm really sorry especially to your Cass, I know you weren't trying to make me feel like shit, but you did and it pissed me off. Regardless I shouldn't have acted that way. Forgive me?"
Always loyal Ian said "of course Jace, I understand why you did it and I don't blame ya."
Britta said "Jacey I'm just glad you are okay, I was soooooo worried about you. Please next time if there is a next time at least return my calls will ya?" I nodded my response and looked at Cassy. She just stared at me, and I could see a mix of hurt and anger on her face. Cass I said. Do you forive me. She huffed and said yeah Jacey I guess I fucking do. And walked off. I understood her being pissed about what I did. But how had I hurt her feelings? She was my best friend. More like my sister than my cousin really. Oh well, I guess it will work its self out.
After a quick change of clothes and a little bit o eye liner and mascara I was off the bus and headed to sound check. I saw Jack and ran over to him. "What gives Barakat? Why is my best friend in the entire world so upset with me? Aside from the obvious of last night. She seems like I hurt her feelings or something." Jack smiled at the thought of Cass, oh there was definitely something there that I didn't know about. Well Jace she is hurt because you don't do all that lame girl talk with her lately. She has no idea what is going on with you and Alex and frankly neither do I. That wasn't a part of her plan.
I thought about that, and I guess he was right, Cass had been out of the loop lately, but she never told me what was up with her and Jack either. So I don't see why she had to know everything about me and Lex either.
Oh, okay well that makes some sense I guess. Thanks Jack. I owe you one. By the way, what the fuck is the deal with you and Cassy? Are you together? Jack laughed and said. Oh the things you will find out when you girl talk with Cass. See ya Jacey. And he was gone.
I knew I had to make things right with Cass so I headed over to the ATL bus to let Lex know that I would be spending some Quality time with Cass tonight. I walked onto the bus and found Rian, hey rian I said. Is Alex around here somewhere? Rian said he was in the bathroom fixing his hair. I walked to the bathroom and let myself in hey babes I said smirking. He laughed and kissed me lightly on the lips and continued with that cute hair of his. I was getting so used to having him. It was nice. "lex, tonight Cass and I have some serious making up to do. So i'm gonna hang with her. You and the boys go out or something. But you better be good." Yeah that's cool he said. And of course I will be good Jace, I don't want to fuck this up. I smiled and kissed him and left for sound check.
Sound check and the show went well. And after the show I caught up with Cass, HEY skank! Wait up. Ilughed as I jogged up beside her. Cass you wanna just hang out with me tonight and say fuck the ater party? There is so much I want to talk to you about. She looked at me then away, then back at me. Yeah sure but are we just hanging out on the bus? Cuz that sounds fucking lame. We decided to get starbucks and go shopping at the local mall. We both needed some new clothes. I told cass about the tattoos and and everything that was and wasn't going on with me and Lex. And she told me about her and Jack who were in fact a couple now. I was really excited about that for her. Jack was a good dude and Cass needed a good dude in her life.
"Cass I know I already apologized about what happened last night but, think about it. You know how bad it was for me when Tyler pulled his master chode moment on me. I just wasn't expecting you of all people to bring him up and it hurt all over again." she looked like she was in pain too actually. I know Jace. She said. I don't know why I brought him up. I just did and I'm sorry too.
After that we just shopped and talked about new clothes and the tour and other things to fill the silence, we ended up walking out with plenty. I got a summer dress, 3 pair of skinnies, 2 pair of shorts, and four new band tee's and cass got about the same.
We went back to the bus both feeling a lot better. And played zombies on the Xbox for awhile. After that I decided it was time to call it a night, I shot Lex a text saying good night and wishing him a good time and drifted off to sleep.
