I rolled out of my bunk the next morning and headed down the bus, my head was slightly throbbing and my wrist hurt a lot. I walked into the longue and saw Rian and Vinny drawing on Jack's face with Sharpies.

'Guys!' I whisper shouted 'those are permanent markers.'

'We know.' Vinny said smirking. I caught sight of Jack's face, he had a dick drawn on his cheek and there was various dirty works written all over his face, including a moustache across his top lip. I giggled and Jack woke up. He groaned and clutched his head, Rian and Vinny disappeared down the bus quickly.

'You want aspirin?' I said smiling at him.

'Yes please.' He said weakly and I grabbed some out of the cabinet and getting water out the fridge. I handed them to him and he downed them quickly.

'Before you ask, Vinny and Rian did that to your face.' I said. He turned around and looked in the window of the bus at his reflection and groaned.

'Dicks' he muttered before sitting back down. He sat for a moment before speaking.

'Look Leda.' He said 'I'm sorry about last night, I was drunk and…' he said, his voice trailed away.

'It's fine Jack.' I said to him.

Trust me, it was really okay.

'Just one thing that's bothering me,' he said 'you kissed me back.'

I looked at my lap, my cheeks heating up 'Yeah.' I mumbled.

'Look Leda.' He said 'I like you. A lot. But I don't know about this, I mean, you're Alex's sister and I only just broke up with Holly and I don't know if I'm ready and if this is what I truly want-' he stumbled out before I pushed a finger on his lips

'Jack, don't freak out. I like you too, a lot more than you would think…...But.' I let out a sigh 'Let's not do anything we're not sure of yet. We should just think about it before deciding anything.'

He nodded 'Could you help me get this shit of my face?'

'Sure.' I said laughing, he kissed my cheek.

'Thank you Leda, for understanding.' He said and we headed for the bathroom.

We were in the bathroom for about a half hour but the pen on Jack's face refused to come of no matter how much I scrubbed at it.

'Oh well, we have to go on soon.' He said with a sigh 'The fans will find it funny.'

'Yeah, I have to get to the merch tent.' I said and went to leave the bathroom.

'Leda, wait.' Jack said, I turned around to him.

'Yes?' I said with a smile

'I'm sorry, about all this.' He said 'you are so amazing for understanding.'

'It's nothing Jack, just don't forget okay?'

'I won't, trust me. I won't.'

Selling the merch was good today, it kept my mind off Jack. I just needed to keep myself busy, my mind away from thoughts of him. When I was done I went off to find Cass, she was with Hey Monday who had just got off stage. I needed to tell someone about this, I was missing Em so much, I would have usually told all this to her.

'Hey Cass!' I called and ran over 'Can I talk to you?'

'Sure Leda.' She said and we wandered off. 'What's up?'

I let out my entire story, she stood listening and nodding occasionally.

'Wow.' She said once I was finished. 'I think it's great of you to wait for him'

'Yeah, I know but it's killing me Cass!' I said 'I like him so much and now something is actually happened and I can't do anything about it. I mean what is Alex going to say?'

'Leda, I'm sure Alex will understand.' Cass said, 'you should wait for Jack and if he decides he want you then tell Alex.' I let out a sigh.

'Yeah, I'm sure you're right Cass. Thanks.'

'It's nothing, what are friends for?' she said and hugged me.

We headed back to the stage where the guys were just coming off stage, Jack was holding an icepack against his nose and there was blood stains in it. I gasped and ran over to him.

'What the hell happened to you?' I said.

'I may have broken my nose stage diving.' He said sheepishly.

'Fuck's sake Jack.' I said and took the ice pack, he sat down on the amp and I started to clean up his nose. I could feel his eyes looking at me the whole time. I smiled at him.

'You should be fine now.' I said. 'I don't think it's broken, you're just clumsy.'

'Thank you Leda Bunnie' he said, and smiled.

'It's nothing.' I said, Jack cleared his throat and looked away. He stood up and I followed him back to the others. Cass was looking at me with sad eyes and I shot her a weak smile.

'Uh, we better get back to the bus, we're about to leave for the next venue.' Jersey said and we all agreed and started walking back to the bus. About half an hour later we were all back on the bus and heading to Montreal for the next couple of shows. We were all sitting in the back longue, I could feel my wrist twinging every time I moved it. When no was looking at me I pushed my sleeve up and had to hold in my gasp. There was a huge hand shaped purple bruise on my wrist, I pushed my sleeve back down before anyone could see it. Brendon was a huge ass hole for doing this to me, I knew that was what it was from because the bruise was the perfect shape of a hand where he had grabbed my wrist at the park. I moved my wrist to the side slightly and a shot of pain ran up my arm. I grabbed it and bit down on my lip, hard. I could taste blood in my mouth, shit. I pressed my finger on my lip and then looked at it. There was blood all over my fingers.

'Shit.' I muttered and dashed into the bathroom. I grabbed a huge wad of toilet paper and pushed it against my lip.

'are you okay?' a voice said from the door. I turned around to him and his eyes widened at my lip.

'Just bit my lip.' I said

'Geez, Leda.' Jack said and slid in shutting the door behind him, he locked it and took the paper of my lip. He took in a sharp intake of air.

'How the hell did you manage this?' he said and started dabbing at my lip.

'I just bit it by accident.' I said , Jack let out a sigh and continues to wipe away the blood.

'You should be fine.' He said 'you're just clumsy.'

I smiled at him quoting me.
