A Fool's Revenge.

I woke up with a raging headache but strong tattooed arms wrapped around me. I smiled softly then remembered that I had slept with James a few hours prior to this point. I wasn’t sure what I was feeling but I still smiled and snuggled back into him and tried to go back to sleep.

“Where’s Jayme?” I heard one of the guys say and the curtain to my bunk open then close.

BUSTED.

I saw the light from outside of James’ bunk crease the wall I was facing and heard a soft chuckle.

“I found her.” Ben’s voice crawled through my tired ears. I rolled my eyes as the curtain soon closed and the gossip started. I rolled over and faced James and just looked at his adorable sleeping face. I lightly blew on his face until a crooked smile appeared and his eyes opened slightly.

“Good morning.” He mumbled and pulled me closer to him.

“I think it’s afternoon. Everyone is already up, even Ben.” I giggled quietly.

“GUYS I THINK THEYRE UP!” I heard one of them yell and feet padding against the bus floors and the curtain was soon ripped open to reveal Danny.

“You owe me.” he glared to whoever was next to him and smirked at me. I hid my blushing face in James’ chest and he just laughed. I peeked over his shoulder and they were all gone.

“We should probably get up.” he sighed and looked down at me. I nodded then looked down to see me not wearing any pants.

“Take my boxers. I have more somewhere in here.” He said realizing that I wasn’t wearing anything besides his shirt. He wriggled out of the boxers he was wearing and I slipped them on before rolling over him and out of the bunk. I walked into the back room after getting coffee and some yoga pants from my bunk and slipping them on.

“Nice shirt, Jay.” Cameron said with a smirk.

“Whose is it?” Sam added and I blushed fiercely as I flipped them off and sat down. Ben had the slightest bit of a scowl on his face as the guys grilled me indirectly about sleeping with James. James came walking in and sat next to me, blushing as the guys broke his balls about it too.

We were both so alike and in ways, I compared him to Mike. He was so much nicer to me but had the rough side to him too. Mike was just always mean, I knew why but still, there’s no real reason to be as childish as he is being. Then again, I knew Mike had a soft side too I just never got a good chance to see it.

I listen as the guys continued their antics against James and me but I didn’t care. This was a one night stand that I didn’t feel bad after. I actually felt really good. Maybe one day it’ll bite me in the ass but today I was going to stay in this good mood.

“I guess my assumption of someone getting laid last night was true.” Danny chuckled making us all burst out into laughter. He was right, someone did get laid. We stayed like this, tossing jokes and comments around until we had to get ready. The guys let me hop in the shower first and I washed everything and shaved what had to be and got out. I tossed my hair in a messy bun and didn’t bother with makeup and walked out to let whoever was next in line.

I got dressed and took my hair out of the messy bun before walking back into the back and sitting down where I was before. Ben was in the shower now so I took this time to quietly ask Danny what was wrong with him.

“What’s wrong with Ben?” I whispered in his ear because he was next to me. He looked down before answering and that’s when I knew something was up.

“He’s just grouchy in the morning.” He clearly lied. I looked at him with narrow eyes but he didn’t budge. I left it at that as Ben came back into the room and James left.

There was an awkward kind of tension between all of us as soon as James left the room but it
didn’t stop the guys from chatting about whatever. I wasn’t that interested as my mind was on why Ben would be upset in any way and why Danny would blatantly lie to me about it.

**Next Day**

I woke up in my own bunk after a night of drinking games with the guys. I still hadn’t found out why Ben was upset but I would find out eventually I guess.
All the guys were up far before I was and I quickly got ready.

“I think I’m gonna head out and get an early start. Text me your set time and I’ll see you then.” I said absent mindedly.

I slipped my shoes on and ventured out to see how big the crowd was already and just think. This venue was actually a pretty one so I snapped some nature shots before going in.

I wondered around taking shots of the merch people who I have come to know pretty well in the time I’ve been here but not enough to sit around all day and talk. I walked around taking weird random pictures of fans and the occasional band member that popped up.

I found a nice shady tree and started going through my pictures so far, deleting the ones that were blurry and then just relaxed against the cool tree. At least today there was a nice breeze, wherever we are. I closed my eyes but felt someone poke me. A look of pure and utter shock must have crossed my face because the person sat next to me scooted away and was definitely the last person I expected to see in a long time.

“Mike?” I said hesitantly and he looked down.

“Yea.” He replied with a small smile.

“What’s up?” I knew something must have been up since he had come up to me.

“I… I’m sorry. For the way I’ve been acting. I’ve had Alysha down my throat about you and I’ve been taking it all out on you. I’m just sorry, I don’t want us to be not friends.” He sighed and stopped himself from rambling too long.

“I know Mike. It’s not like I hate you, I knew this would happen maybe not this bad but I knew it would.” I said genuinely. He smiled at the ground and looked up.

“I seriously do want to at least be civil with each other. Tony told me you guys talked yesterday and Vic, I just knew I fucked up bad. Alysha doesn’t mean much to me, she’s just a friend. She’s a psycho and I’m sorry she hit you.” He frowned a little and looked me over for marks. I had a little bruise but it wasn’t bad.

“Yeah, Tony told me about the thing with Alysha. She is a psycho though.” I chuckled and so did he.

“Yeah… So, friends?” he looked at me with those eyes, those damn eyes. I smiled and nodded and felt my phone vibrate. It was Danny telling me set was in ten minutes.

“Of course. I have to get going though. AA’s set starts soon and I have to trek through the crowds.” I got up and groaned. He chuckled and reached out for me to help him up too. When I did the aftershock of my muscle strength that I used pulled me to him. I blushed and looked at him and we stayed like that for a moment.

“I guess you have to get going, huh?” he said sadly. Dammit. Not this shit again.

“Yeah.” I let my heart drop back from my throat to its normal place and started walking towards the stages. Mike had followed for a while but split when we started getting into the thick crowds.

The little wheels started turning in my head again leaving me with nothing but a heavy feeling in my chest. I knew it was just a mind game toying with me but I had to focus on the task at hand and then I could mull it over.

I greeted the guys and started my job back up. I kept my head on straight up until the end on the show when they played Not the American Average. It was a little ironic to me in this case but I just laughed it off.

I snapped the last shots as the guys came running by me to get off the stage. I followed them back to the bus and set my camera around my neck.

“What’s wrong, Jay?” Ben asked as he slowed his pace to walk along side me.

I could ask you the same thing.

“Nothing. Something’s just on my mind.” I shrugged and smiled. He nodded knowingly.

“Same here, sweet cheeks.” He sighed, smiled, and wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked. It felt slightly off but I knew, and he knew, that we would just be friends.

We arrived at the bus and I pulled away from Ben to get my computer and do my daily uploading. I closed it but not before clearing the SD card and put it all away.

“So, what are you guys up to tonight?” I asked as I made myself a drink with my Fireball that the guys bought me ad a can of sprite.

“We were just gonna bar hop. Why, wanna come with?” Cameron answered for everyone and I shook my head.

“Nahh, two days straight of drinking is enough for this little girl.” I chuckled and sat down.

I talked with all of them until they had to leave for their signing. I started up a game of COD and just sat there playing until a knock was at the door. It seemed like this was happening a lot now but I guess I don’t mind visitors.

“Hey guys, what are you doing here?” I questioned one of my tallest friends and his ginger sidekick.

“We just finished with our signing and Alan wanted to hang out with you and we just saw Danny and the guys and they told us you were here so, hey!” Austin said enthusiastically and I laughed and let them on.

“I was just playing COD, wanna play?” I asked as I sat down on the couch and took a sip from my strong drink. Alan nodded excitedly while Austin declined and said he’d rather watch. I connected Alan’s controller and started a game of capture the flag.

It was getting pretty intense as I had the final say in who won. I intently watch Alan’s character as it neared my flag. I quickly shot him and made a run for his. I was close to capturing it but I got shot right between the eyes.

“YOU SON OF A FUCKING BITCH!” I screamed as they both laughed. Alan got my flag with no problem and won. I was very competitive but I was also a good sport. I tossed a pillow at him and he fell to the floor. He glared at me as I smirked and started the next game as Austin laughed uncontrollably.

We played until they had to leave and since I knew the guys wouldn’t be home till late, I grabbed my computer and pulled up Netflix to watch a few movies. I ended up falling asleep like that, computer open and all. i only had a long t-shirt on and some very short booty shorts on.

I felt myself get drowsy midway through Saw; The Final Chapter and was totally content.

Notes

So.... Mike finally apologized but Ben is upset about something. Mixed emotions or Mixed emotion??
