Failing Lights

*Scarlett Pov

I heard the bus pull up outside my apartment building. I sighed. Oh joy I am going to be crammed on a bus with Vic. Trying to shake the terrible feeling in my gut about the tour, I poured myself coffee in my portable mug. Knock knock knock. I stumbled over to the door to see Mike.

"You aren't dressed?!?!?" He screeched.

"No, I was packing Giraffe, I only had a days notice about this. I just have to get dressed, if you would like to come in while you wait," I said opening my door wider noticing the spiky haired one from the conference room yesterday, "and your spiky haired friend."

He placed his hands on his knees painting. Mike laughed at him. "Hi I'm Jaime." He introduced himself after catching his breath, "You are Scarlett right?" He held out his hand and I took it and shook it.

"Indeed my kind sir." I dropped his hand and curtsied and he bowed.

"Glad to make your acquaintance my fine lady." He bowed. We all laughed at that weird little interaction. I can tell Jaime and I were going to be good friends.

"Alright make yourselves at home, I have to get dressed and stuffs. No peeking especially you Mike, I know that's something you would do." Mike looked down at his twiddling thumbs sheepishly. I walked out of the room and in the hall way making a beeline for my room.

*Mike Pov

"She's so much different than I thought she would be. You know after yesterday I thought she was nuts and was going to make this tour hell. Now I'm not so sure, she gives me the impression that's she really cool actually." Jaime spoke just quiet enough that Scar couldn't hear.

"Yeah. I've known her almost my whole life. I love her to pieces." I responded.

"What's the deal with her and Vic? They are some of the sweetest people I've met and they can't stand each other..." He trailed off.

"Well they used to be close friends. We all were and then well how do I put this they used to be-" I stopped when I heard the clicking of high heels coming towards the room we where in.

"Ready boys?" She said with her bags in tow.

"Yes Scar," I responded for Jaime and I, "Need help with your bags."

"Actually yes. Look at you Mikey finally a gentlemen." Mike picked up my bags and walked out the door.

"He only acts like a gentlemen to get laid Scarlett." Jaime whispered in my ear and we both looked at each other and started laughing. We did a crappy job at hiding our giggles on the way out to the door bus.
