It was official. I was in love, and there was no getting around it. As much as I'd tried denying it since the first week I met him, I was in love. I didn't quite know how he felt about me, but I had a pretty good feeling whenever we were together. The problem? This might end up being a love triangle, because he's in love with Cassadee, too. Except she's already dating David Blaise. Such complications...

Kelsey's P.o.V~Tell Me What To Do by Metro Station
- It was three in the morning. I had a terrible trouble with sleeping during the summer. I pondered on texting my best friend, Cassadee, but she was probably busy actually sleeping. She's in a little band called Hey Monday, and they're gaining popularity. She promised she'd be taking me on tour with her soon to meet cute band guys. I couldn't wait, I loved watching her and the guys in action. Cass and I both love singing, but she just happened to get discovered first. It's okay, I'm really happy for her. She's cool and talented and so much fun. She's my bestie.
- I laid around with my iTouch for awhile until I finally sunk into unconsciousness. I woke up again at around 12 when my phone started loudly playing Metro Station. I grabbed it and slid it open, putting it to my ear groggily.
"Hello?"
"Start packing. We're coming to get you at 2. It's my day off today, and I decided to finally fulfill that promise I made. I hope you weren't sleeping again, girly."
"Cass...? Ugh, I was, you know I suck at sleeping during the summer. But seriously, you're coming to pick me up? Dude... tte. That's f***ing awesome! I'll get up." I laughed, and she sighed with an answering laugh, hanging up. I scrambled out of bed to pull out my suitcase. I shoved as much clothing as I possibly could into that thing, then threw anything else I wanted in two of my tote bags. I went to the bathroom, then went downstairs and fount out my parents had already gone to work. I ate a bowl of Coco Pebbles with milk, then went upstairs to change and brush my teeth. I spent about half an hour trying to decide on an outfit, hair, and makeup. I finally decided to sport a Hey Monday t-shirt, grey Bullhead skinnies, and my plaid Converse low-tops. I snatched up my reversible purple and zebra-print Skelanimals hoodie and straightened up my already-straight hair. Yeah I know, what was the point of that? Either way, I applied powder and black eyeliner, followed by bright green eyeshadow and blue mascara. Once I was done, I headed downstairs.
- It was about 1 o'clock by then, and I had nothing to do until Cassadee and the guys got there, so I did a few household chores and fed my kittens. I wanted to take them with me, but I doubt a tour bus would be a good place for kittens. So I bid them goodbye as the half-hour mark was hit. Excitement crept over me like a ray of sunshine, and I eventually got hungry, so I grabbed a peach yogurt smoothie out of the fridge and gulped it down quickly. I ate a few rosemary crackers, and it was 10 minutes to 2. I took my bags out to the porch, leaving them by the swinging "couch" as I sat down on it. I'd left a note on the kitchen counter for my parents earlier.
- Finally, a van pulled up on the side of the street a house down. It stopped, then jerked forward and drove up into my driveway. It lurched to a stop, I heard yelling, and then the doors opened. I jumped up from my seat as I saw her coming.
"KELSEY MAXWELL!"
"CASSADEE POPE!"
We ran at each other and jumped into a flying hug. I'd missed this girl, and I was overjoyed to see her. We ran up to the porch and sat down on the swing for a minute as Mike, Jersey, Elliot and Alex were gentlemen enough to bring my bags and load them in the back of the van for me. Cass and I had some catching up time.
"I missed you Cass! Who're you guys touring with this time?"
"I missed you too, Kels. Well.... on this Glamour Kills tour, you've got a wide selection of fine young men from four bands; the Friday Night Boys, We the Kings and All Time Low. Take your pick, they're all very charming, to be sure." She announced, smiling and wrinkling her nose with a laugh. We shared that trait, the nose-wrinkling habit when we laughed lightly. I was pleased at the lineup.
"They all sound damn hot! I can't wait. You're like, the only girl on this whole tour, what the hell? You are seriously one of the guys way to often, Cass." I stuck my tongue out at her, and we laughed again. She ruffled her well-highlighted hair.
"That's exactly why I'm bringing you, Kels. We can beat them all up." She high-fived me as we stood up and headed over to the van. I greeted the guys and gave them all huge hugs, happy to see them as well. Cass and I hopped in and sat next to each other among the guys.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silky peach 'bathrobe.' Ah yes, it went really well with her peachy skin and dark brown hair. She was smiling at me, but I didn't know who she was. I walked towards her, and she to me. She held out her hand, and I took it with a grin. ANd then I opened my mouth to speak. She was laughing and she ran a hand through her hair very gracefully...

Jack's P.o.V~ The Resolution by Jack's Mannequin
- "And then I woke up in the middle of telling her she shouldn't pair blue flip-flops with it. It was pretty weird, but then I always have weird dreams. She's just been showing up in the recent ones. I wonder who she is?" I ran a hand through my hair.
- "Dude, you are seriously strange sometimes. Eat your cereal, we're playing at 12 today." Zack shook his head, getting up to replace Alex in the bathroom, while Alex took his seat as he grabbed the box of cereal and my bowl. I glared for a moment, then grabbed a new one out of the cabinet. He told me he'd heard us talking about the dream.
"She sounds pretty cute, man. Maybe she'll turn up at the show today." Alex laughed.
"Alex, this is serious. I can't stop thinking about her, and I've never even met her. But you're right, people dress weird here. Maybe she'll show up at the set or signing." I frowned, but my hope was renewed. Alex promised he'd help me look later that day.
- Just then, Rian came over grinning. He informed us that our schedule had been changed, and that we were playing last instead, which meant that we'd be able to see all the other bands. And I could search for my mystery brunette. I perked up a bit more at this bit of news.I went to go change for the show. The Friday Night Boys were going first. Hey Monday Had left for a little bit so they could pick up Cassadee's best friend, who lives in a suburb nearby. Cassadee... the cutest girl on the tour. The only girl on the tour...
"Knock knock! All Time Low boys, I'm coming in!" The bus door opened and a flash of ginger hair appeared in my line of view. I was met with a grin.
"Morning, Trav. You get up early, dude, it's unhealthy." I laughed as he sat down on the couch with an answering chuckle. Happy as a leprechaun.
"Actually, its very healthy, Jack. It means I get more done than all of you."
"That is NOT true. We get what you get done... and in half the time!"
"Dude, you're full of s***." But he laughed and cracked open the fridge, taking a Red Bull and a swig. I was about to steal it when my phone rang.
'Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone,
Just the one two of us is counting on.
That never happened, I guess I'm dreaming again.
Let's be more than... this.'
- I blushed as Travis gave me a suspicious eyebrow raise. I took the phone off my bunk and walked down the stairs outside the bus, hoping no fans were swarming this early. I was in luck, so I answered before she could hang up.
"Jack!" Giggles from in the background.
"Hey Cass, where are you?" More giggle, I could make out a girl's laugh.
"We're on our way back now, we picked up my bestie."
"Oh, awesome. So then wait, what's up?" The giggles subsided then. Hmm...
"We're stuck in traffic and running a little late, Jack. Can you tell the rest of the guys for me? I mean, it's not like we have a show today, right?"
"Cass... we do. You guys are second today... I think." I said nervously. I told her to hang on while I went to go ask Travis what to do. I didn't wanna prematurely worry her.
"Crap!... It's fine, they can just go last instead of you guys." He said. I told her.
"Awesome! Thanks a bunch, Jack, we'll be there as soon as we can." I sighed.
"No prob, Cass, drive safe. Can't wait to meet your friend."
"She can't wait to meet you guys either! See ya soon, Jack." I could hear a smile.
- We hung up and I went back to find the guys all changed, and Trav had a grin on as he walked to me with a look that reminded me of what I'd done.
"Soooo... does Cassadee know she's your 'Crushcrushcrush'?" He laughed.
"Shh! Nobody really knows, please, please don't tell anyone, Trav." Puppydog face.
"Haha, okay Jack. You guys would be cool together. If she wasn't already taken..." F***.
END OF CHAPTER WON!
