two weeks later
I breathed in and looked around me. There were stagehands putting the last minute things on stage, like water and our instruments. I smiled as I saw a stagehand walk out with my guitar in her hands. I walked over to her and took it from her, putting it into its stand. Then i turned and looked out at where the audience would be filling in less than an hour. Suddendly a strong pair of arms wrapped around me and picked me off the ground, spinning me around. I screamed and laughed at the same time, then heard Lexee's scolding voice.
"Daniel Jones, what are you doing to that poor girl?" She asked, her voice amused. The strong arms, that I now knew was Danny, stopped spinning and turned to face Lexee. I just smiled at her and she laughed.
"I'm spinning her cuz she looked bored." He answered, spinning me again.
"Danny, stop it!" I laughed. He laughed too and held me up over his head. "Since when did you get strong?" I asked, a smile playing on my lips. He laughed and put me down on my feet.
"I got strong since Dougie joined the band. I used to pick him up like that all the time cuz it was the only way to get him to laugh. But hes obviously out of that stage." Danny answered.
"Your so weird." Lexee shook her head and he smiled at her and grabbed her by the waist. She squealed and he kissed her cheek.
"Get a room." Tom laughed, walking onto the stage holding Tyler on his back and Dougie next to him.
"Why is Tyler on your back?" Lexee asked, ignoring Toms comment as she turned in Dannys arms and leaned aganist his chest.
"Beucase hes being an asswhole." Tyler complained, punching his back lightly.
"I dont know how many times I have to tell you, 1) that doesnt hurt, and 2) i am not an asswhole if Im right." Tom sighed. Tyler hit him harder. "Okay, that hurt." He mumbled and she smiled.
"Good. It was supposed to." She said and hit him hard again. He winced, but didnt let go of her legs for her to get off him.
"What are you right about?" I asked, turning my amusment from Dannys stupidity to Tom and Tylers intelligence compitetion. Their foever arguing over whos smarter.
"She doesn't think that you guys are going to do good tonight since its your first concert without Jordin." Tom sighed and Tyler pulled his hair. "What? Its true!" he said and she sighed.
"We'll do fine. We dont need Jordin. All she did was vocals, and I can cover them. It'll be fine." I said, trying to convince both Tyler and myself. I've been dreading that part. I have to do everything that is usualy me and Jordin alone tonight. In a desprate attempt to change the subject, I smiled and pointed behind Dougie. "DOUGIE! WHATS THAT?!" I asked and he turned around quickly. I ran and jumped onto his back and he laughed.
"I always fall for that." He mumbled and then looked over his shoulder at me. "Your so weird." He said and I smiled.
"Like you have room to talk." I laughed and he rolled his eyes. "Dont act like I have no comeback! You own like, 40 lizards! Thats not normal!" I said and he smiled, then let go of me, making me fall backwards onto my back. "Ow! Jerk!" I yelled and kicked the back of his knee. He yelped but hopped away laughing. Shannon walked around from backstage and raised an eyebrow at us. We had to have looked like a bunch of idiots. Danny hanging himself over Lexee, Tyler punching Tom while being carried on his back, me laying on my back, and Dougie hopping around holding the back of his left knee.... yeah, we totally looked insane.
"I would ask but Im really scared, so Im going to pretend that you people are normal and tell you that Fletch said you need to get back here because their going to start letting people in in..." She looked at her phone. "... 5 minutes."
Tom ran into the back with Tyler on his back, squealing and wrapping her arms around his neck as to not fall. Danny let go of Lexee and she smiled and grabbed his hand, pulling him after her while he laughed lightly and let her drag him backstage. Shannon just smiled at me, then at Dougie, and followed the other four. Dougie walked over to me and bent down next to me.
"Need help?" He asked, smiling slightly. I put my hands out. He smiled and grabbed ahold of them, pulling me up, then into him. I looked into his eyes for a few minutes, then I looked down at his lips, and back up into his eyes. He smiled lightly and supprised me.
He kissed me. At first it was chaste, but when I kissed back, he deepened it. Dougie let go of my hands and wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He broke off after a minute, leaving me breathless. He smiled and let go of me a little, but not completly.
"Im sorry, Jayden, but I've been waiting to do that for a while." He said quietly, then leaned in and kissed me again. I kissed back, but this time, I broke off.
"Its perfectly fine becuase I've been waiting to do it too." I said, then he looked over my shoulder. He kissed me, this one stayed chaste, and then he let go of my waist, but grabbed my hand again.
"Come on, their starting to let people in." He said. I nodded, my mind functioning more with his lips off mine, though the touch of his hand still made me skeptical about why it was a good idea. When we got back to the dressing room, everyone looked over at us. Tom, Tyler, and Keighty all grinned like they knew we'd kissed, and everyone else just smiled normally. The fact that we were holding hands was nothing new, we tended to do that alot. The same goes for when he sat down and pulled me onto his lap. But Tom, Tyler, and Keighty still had a knowing look on their faces.
OH YEAH! I think I forgot to mention, the tour that were on currently is promoting McFLYs new cd, Wonderland. Evacuate, minus Jordin, and I Am Not Okay, minus Angee, are opening for McFLY. Yeah, Angee quit I Am Not Okay just like Jordin quit Evacuate, and their currently forming their own band with Brock and Erik called 'Yours for the taking'. I think that were the only people who realize the double meaning, and it basically proves their sluts. Anyway, Brigid joined I Am Not Okay in Angees place, so Logan was thrilled with this tour.
"Hey, guys, can we have a girls talk in here?" Keighty asked innocently from her spot inbetween Harry and Shannon. Harry looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, sure." Tom said, smiling. He looked over at me and smiled wider. I felt myself blush, and he got up, pulling Harry with him. Danny got up and flicked Logans ear.
"I know you may think your a girl, but you have to come with us." He said with a smile on his face. Logan glared at him and Brigid laughed. He jumped up and chased Danny down the corridor while they both screamed. Tom sent Harry after them to make sure they didnt hurt eachother too badly, then he turned to me again, but he was looking at Dougie this time.
"Come on, mate. You need to come too." He said and Dougie groaned deeply and loudly, wrapping his arms around me securly. Tom looked at me pleadingly, so i reluctantly took hold of Dougies hands and pryed them off me. I stood up and Tom took Dougies hand pulling him out of the room.
"You owe me one, Fletcher!" I yelled after him. He raised his hand in acknowledgement, but kept walking and shut the door behind him. I sat back down where Dougie had been and avoided all eye contact with everyone in the room.
"Jayden Elizabeth Powers, you did not kiss that boy!" Tyler said with a smile, finally breaking the silence. I turned to her and glared.
"Oh my god! You kissed Dougie!" Erin yelled and I blushed, looking away from them.
"Maybe I did. What of it?" I asked, defensive. Whats so bad about kissing Dougie?
"Has he at least brushed his teeth?" Lexee asked, making a face. I threw a pillow from the sofa at her.
"He burshes his teeth everyday, thank you very much." I shot. She just grinned. "Knock it off or I'll use the full name." I warrened and her face fell. She hates it when people call her by her full name becuause its long and she doesnt like it, hence Lexee.
"Whats her full name?" Shannon asked, now off subject. Lexee caught onto her and glared at her.
"That has nothing to do with the fact that Dougie and Jayden made out!" Lexee yelled. I must've blushed cuz Tyler started laughing
"You made out with Dougie?" Tyler asked, between laughs.
"Why is that such a bad thing?!" I asked. They make it seem like hes a deamon or something, sheesh.
"Cuz hes Dougie Poynter! He is the weirdest guy on the planet aside form James Bourne, and youve managed to not only become the boys best friend, but now your his love intrest." Tyler laughed. Keighty poked her in the side.
"Okay, thats only her opinion. Im worried for you beucase.. hes Dougie Poynter." Keighty said softly.
"I know that." I rolled my eyes. I really didnt want to have this speach right now. I kissed him. Once. Shes acting as though i ran off and married him in Vegas.
"Jay, I just dont want to see you fall for him too hard and him mess around and end up breaking you. Beucase then I'll have to break his face." She said with a small smile at the end of her statement.
"I appriciate that you feel that way, but I really dont expect that from Dougie. Hes my best friend. He wouldnt hurt me, not in a million years." I said, but as I started to think about his past relationships, I started to worry. Hes not ging to hurt you, hes your best friend. I told myself. Most of me believe myself, but there was a small little part that stood firm in nervouseness....
this one took a while, and i appoligize for that. Im going to try to update again soon, promise.
