Justin's P.O.V
"Great Job Guys we have a slight two day break intill were back on the road enjoy the night off well be back on the road monday." High fiving the team cheered. "Whos down to go out?" Fredo asked and the team all cheered again "wait wait wait as long as were going dutch" Kirsten the sound tech girl said and they all laughed and agreed. "What about you Justin? You coming with?" Fredo asked his eyebrows slightly rasied. "As much as Id love to Im kinda beat and besides its the only time Selena and I get to talk." Making kissy faces at me the team headed for the busess in the back to shower and leave. Jess lingered slightly but the lights in the arena started to go off and she slowly followed the team. Grabbing my stuff out of the dressing room I followed the arrows out of the arena to my bus. All the busess glowed with the energy of my team getting ready to finally take a break in this long month.

Slammimg my Laptop shut I let out a sigh busy of course she busy out partying with her friends. Today was supposed to be her day off this time was supposed to be set aside for us. Feeling a tightening in my chest I let out a sigh maybe now would be a good time to go for a run around the arena its empty and I know where the light switch is. Slidding into basketball shorts and a wife beater I filled my waterbottle and grabbed my Iphone with my head phones. Quietly slipping out the door I walked through the crowd of dark busses intill one light caught my eye I highly doubt anyone was back yet they usually party till morning and sleep all day while were on the road. Stopping at the bus door I slightly knock when theres no response I open the door "Hello??" With no response I bravely step into the bus. The light is on but I see no one shrugging I assume they just left the light on. As I make my way back toward the door I hear small laughs coming from the back of the bus. Making my way to the biggest room in the back I knock softly. "Hello whos in there?" Pushing the door open Jess sits up abrutly on the couch. "Oh Justin um Hi I wasnt expecting you um" she scrambles to clean up the two top ramen cups and bottle of Dr.Pepper. "Its ok your good I saw the light and thought maybe a fan broke on to the bus I didnt mean to disturb your night, I just wasnt expecting anyone to be back yet" I say all fast it comes out slight as jiberish. "Its fine, I didnt go out I was also tired" She responded her feet rubbing against eachother as she tuckes a piece of hair behind her ear. "Oh" I respond bitting my lip "Why not? Usually the team enjoys a good night off." She shrugs and picks up the top ramen cups. "Come on now whats going on Jess? I know you did not skip out on a night out maybe a chance to freestyle dance to eat top ramen and binge watch what is this the golden girls?" I asked motioning toward the show playing on the tv. "Clearly I did" she responded throwing the empty containers in the grabage. "What do you want me to say Im a boring girl Justin" she responds leaning against the wall. "Your not though Jess you have a firey passion in your eyes that I see every time you dance hell I even see it now as you stand here defiantly lying to my face" I reply moving closer to her placing my hands on the wall near her head I stare into her blue eyes speckled with grey dots. Bitting her lower lip tears sprang to her eyes somehing I was not expecting. "What do you want me to say?!" She yelled pushing against my chest abrubtly. "Do you want to hear that Im broke? That my parents though me out weeks before the tour? That I slept in my car the weeks leading up to the tour? That they disowned me?!" She cried out slamming her fists against my chest. "Huh? Is that what you wanted to hear?!" She cried falling into my arms as we slid to the floor. "Is that what you wanted to hear?" She whispered silently crying into my shoulder. "No its not" I responded softly running my fingers through her hair. Lettong her cry out I genetly picked up her silent body and placed her in one of the pod beds on the bus. Slipping a blanket over I sighed looking down at the sleeping girl "Next time ask for help I take care of my own Jess" shutting off the bus lights off I headed for the arena with alot of things to think about during my run.

Sitting in the studio I stared into the mirror. I highly doubted that Jess would show up after last night I wouldnt want to talk to me either. Suddenly she bursts through the door all frazzled "Im so sorry Im late I forgot to plug my phone in and I missed my alarm Im so sorry Justin" she fussed throwing her stuff in the corner. "Its cool your only 15 mintues late no big shawty" I replied "After last night I understand" "what happened last night?" She questioned acting like it never happened. Ok two can play that game "You know everyone going out and stuff" I replied. Mouthing oh she nodded "should we get this started then?" She asked and I nodded starting the music. Ill pretend like this didnt happen only for a little while till I find out whats really going on and how to help. I really love a damsel in distress.
