"I don't do band members!"
A cold shower!
I'm on my way back from an emergency meeting with the catering staff, because food deliveries were late, when a girl approaches me, she is a bit smaller than me, quite petite with light blue eyes and long dark blonde hair, really pretty. "Hey, excuse me, could you help me, please?"
"Of course, that's my job, what can I do for you?" I smile at her.
"I, uhm, I am looking for the All Time Low bus." She says a bit embarrassed.
"Oh, okaaay" I can see a pass hanging on a lanyard around her neck, but still I have to check. "Could I please see your pass, it's just for security reasons, we don't want fans flooding the artists area, you see."
"Oh I understand, but don't worry, I have an all access, I'm here to see Alex, he's my boyfriend" she adds smiling brightly."I'm Lisa by the way."
Of course! I pinch the bridge of my nose shaking my head, snorting unhappily. I mean, what are the chances? Of all the people she had to pick me to ask for help.
I wouldn't even have to find out that he has a girlfriend but obviously fate wants to rub it in my face.
"Whats wrong?" She asks concerned.
"Nothing, really, just an inside joke." I take a deep breath forcing a half hearted smile. "well let's get you sorted then, I take you to the bus, follow me"
We make small talk on the way and I have to admit she seems really nice. When we reach the bus I punch in the code and open the door to reveal an almost naked Jack dressed in only boxers.
"Hi, Gi, do yo-" he starts, then his eyes go wide when he sees who enters the bus behind me. "Oh, Uhm, hey Lisa. What are you doing here?" He blurts out.
"I am fine and hello to you too, Jack" she giggles and gives him a hug.
She looks around the bus searching "where is Alex?"
"Uhm I think he's in the back lounge" Jack answers absentmindedly while he pulls my arm trying to get me away. "Gi, can we talk please?" He looks at me with pleading eyes.
I yank my arm away, a fake smile plastered on my face.
"Later, Jack, I wouldn't want to miss this lovely reunion. Come on Lisa let's see if we can find him." With this I lead the way to the back of the bus.
Out of the corner of my eye I can see Jack mouthing a 'I'm sorry' to me behind Lisa's back.
I knock on the walls as we pass the bunks as to notify the guys of our presence. It's a precaution I have learned to do over the years, you would not want to walk into some of the things guys do in their bunks when they think nobody is around.
I open the door to the back lounge and see Alex sitting there with his acoustic in his lap.
His head shoots up and a smile spreads across his face when he sees me. "Hey, Gi-Gi" he is about to get up when I step aside to reveal the person behind me.
His face falls and his jaw drops to the ground I can see him swallowing hard to regain his posture while Lisa jumps at him throwing her arms around his neck, squealing. "Hey Alex, surprise! I just had to come out and see you, Baby "
I don't wait for his reply but turn around heading out. I shoot a nasty glance at Jack on my way out and hiss "Traitor" when he finally stops me by standing in front of the door not letting me pass. "Gi, I'm sorry I didn't tell you but he's my best friend, I hoped he would tell you in time."
"Fuck you, Jack, you backstabbing useless cunt." Okay I go a bit overboard when I am angry and my Australian nature shines through."I thought you are my friend as well, you should have told me, I would have never started this shit." I whisper yell at him pushing him in the chest.
"God I am so stupid, I should have known, nothing good can come from dating a band member. Why do I never learn? Christ!" I stopped whispering and am yelling by now. Then I kick the wall in frustration and finally succeed to push Jack aside.
