TONY~
"You got it bro?" Mike asked as I wobbled to the couch.
"Y-Yeah, just hurts like a bitch." He nodded and Vic put his head in his hands.
"This is only the third show we've done! how the hell are we going to be able to just cancel 5 shows?"
"WE CAN'T!" I screamed and sat up. "Do you know how many fans we'll disappoint?!"
"We'll you're not going out there like this Tony!" Steph screamed. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"I didn't say I would play, just find a replacement. Get a tech to do it or something."
"I doubt they'll do that without extra pay. We're just fucked." Mike said. Everyone sighed and Steph sprung up from the couch.

"WHOEVER DIDN'T CHECK THOSE THINGS SHOULD GET FIRED! NOW MY TONY IS HURT AND-"

"Steph, stop over reacting. Stage mishaps happen all the time.." I said. The guys looked at me, slightly shocked that I spoke up, considering I always stay out of her little out bursts, but everything she did just seemed to annoy me more than usual today. I guess when you dislocate your knee, everything isn't always fucking flowers and rainbows.

"Wow, that was rude. Only trying to help here." She spat.
"Well, sorry. Somebody help me to the bunks, I need to get some sleep." Jaime and Mike nodded and Steph gave me a kiss before I walked to the bunks. I rolled in and Jaime propped up my knee with a pillow.
"Thanks."
"Yeah." He said and smiled before they both walked out. I sighed and stared at the ceiling.

That Adeline girl is beautiful. I would kill to talk to her more, it's just.. there's something about her that-

"Hey, you're not mad at me right? I just get kind of over protective when you get hurt, and I'm sorry." Steph said, making me jump and snap out of my thoughts. I shook my head and sighed. Shit, why am I thinking about Addie? I have Steph. I haven't even looked at another girl since I've been with her. What the hell is going on with me?
"It's fine babe, I understand." She nodded and crawled into my bunk.
"I'm so glad you brought me this year." She said and kissed me.
"Me too. I need some sleep though, okay?" She nodded and walked out. I closed my eyes and tried to push all of the thoughts out of my mind and finally fell asleep.

----------

"Dude, wake up. We're in Colorado." My eyes snapped open and I looked at Vic.
"What?"
"Yeah. You slept for like 16 hours. You gotta go see that Addie chick and make sure your knee is okay, so come on." I smiled and nodded before he helped me out of the bunk. He chuckled and my head snapped towards him.
"Sorry, you're just really happy to see her.." He said and smirked. I rolled my eyes.
"Can I not smile? For fucks sake." I mumbled, but Vic could read me like a book.
"Do you like her?"
"No, God no. I have Steph." I said and shook my head. I may have convinced him, but convincing myself was harder. He nodded and helped me walk to the med tent.
------
"Can I help you?" A male asked. I frowned, Could Adeline not be here?
"Yeah, is Addie here?" Vic asked. He nodded.
"ADD!"
"Comin'!" She said and walked out with some crutches in her hand. "What's up?" He pointed to us and she smiled and waved.
"Hey guys."
"Hey." I said and returned the smile. She waved us around and I sat on the bed. She rolled up my pant leg and I couldn't help but hiss in pain.
"Sorry. Good news is that it's still in place and everything. All I can say is plenty of ice and you'll be fine. Here." She said and handed me the crutches she had been carrying. "Only when you have to ABSOLUTELY walk though." I nodded and took them.
"Uh, Thanks." She smiled.
"No problem."
"Um Addie?"
"Yeah."
"Could I get your number? Maybe we could hang out sometime?" I whispered nervously.
"Tony, is that really a good idea? I mean I don't know how your 'girlfriend' is about having girls' numbers in your phone.." I bit my lip and sighed.
"You're cool, and the guys and I wanna get to know you, she'll be fine with it. She better be." I said and chuckled. She looked down and smiled, which she's always done when we were talking alone. I furrowed my eyebrows.
"You're really shy aren't you.."
"Well, I guess. I mean, if I'm not talking about my job, I get scared I'll say the wrong thing and.. it's just complicated. Y'know, you're shy too Tony.." She whispered and played with the hem of her shirt. My eyes got slightly wide. It was weird how much I could relate.

If I'm not talking music, then I shut myself away from everyone, for the exact same reason.

"I guess." She sighed and nodded.
"Could I see your phone?"
"Uh, sure?" I said and handed it to her. I saw her type a few things before she gave it back to me. I smiled when I saw her number in my phone.
"Thanks."
"Welcome, you're free to go." I sighed, almost not wanting to leave, but they had to finish setting up the tent, and the last thing I needed was to be mobbed when the doors opened.
"Well, can I maybe text you later?" I asked. She smiled a little and nodded.
"Sure, but I can't promise fast replies if we're busy." I nodded in understanding and hopped off of the bed, balancing on the crutches. I pulled her into a side hug, and felt Vic's eyes burning into me. She pulled away and waved before running to the bus to finish un loading. We both walked away and I just waited for Vic to say something.
"So what the hell was that back there?" Ah, there it is.
"Nothing okay? She's just cool and I wanna chill with her."
"Well, I think there's more that you're not telling me, and even if that was it, you know Steph would flip!"
"If she does, then whatever. She's just a cool chick, I'll keep things under control though."



If only I knew just how wrong I was.
