CHAPTER FIVE
JD’s POV
Taylor and I are cuddled close in the backseat as Zac drives. Our arms are around each other.
“I’m so glad you came,” Taylor whispers. I stroke his cheek.
“Me too,” I whisper back, not pointing out the fact that I’m actually in Tulsa because of my boyfriend.
“I love him so much, J. I don’t know what to do,” Taylor tells me quietly.
“I know, T-Bird,” I reply. “I’ll figure something out. You’ll see.”
“I can’t tell him.” My friend’s blue eyes are filling with tears.
“Hey now,” I say gently. “Don’t start crying on me. Everything’s going to be okay, Sweetie. I promise you.”
“How can you promise that? How can you be so sure?”
“Because, Tay, I have all the facts.” Taylor looks at me questioningly. I smile and stroke his cheek. “Don’t worry, Tay. Let me do all the work. You just sit and look pretty like always,” I tell him. He laughs lightly.
“Okay.”
When Andy, myself and the brothers enter the lobby of the hotel, a loud shriek comes from Andy. I look to where she’s running to and find our boyfriends. A goofy grin spreads across my face as I rush over to Paul.
“Paulie!” I exclaim, throwing my arms around his neck. My boyfriend hugs me tightly.
Paul pulls back to look at me. He’s grinning from ear to ear and I’m sure my expression matches his. He presses his lips to mine, kissing me gently.
I sigh and brush my fingers through his dark hair.
“Your hair’s getting curly,” I observe.
“Yeah, I need to get it cut,” Paul replies.
“Get me some scissors and I’ll do it before the show,” I tell him. He smiles.
“I love you,” he says before kissing me again.
I smile.
“There’s someone I want you to meet.” I take Paul’s hand and lead him over to Taylor.
“Tay, this is my boyfriend Paul,” I say. “Paul, this is my gay boyfriend Taylor.” Taylor rolls his eyes at me, then shakes Paul’s hand.
“It’s nice to finally meet you,” he says.
“Likewise,” Paul replies.
Zac, Alec and Andy join us then. Andy introduces Alec to Taylor as I do the same for Paul and Zac. Then Andy and I share a look before turning to the brothers.
“Would you guys mind if we hang with Paul and Alec until they go to the venue?” I ask. “I know we were supposed to hang out.” The brothers look at each other then at us.
“You don’t even have to ask,” Taylor tells us. “I mean, it’s been like, what? Three months since you’ve seen each other?” Andy groans.
“Don’t remind me.” We all laugh.
I turn to Taylor.
“So we’ll call you guys later and we can go to the show together?” I ask. The Hanson’s nod. I hug my best friend and kiss his cheek. “I’ll see you later, T-Bird.”
“Can’t wait,” Taylor replies. Then he and Zac leave.
Zac’s POV
I flop down on my bed not even a minute before my cell phone rings. I sigh and pull the phone from my pocket. The caller ID says it’s Andy. I know something’s wrong. She wouldn’t call me when she has her boyfriend all to herself for the first time in months. They should be fucking like rabbits by now.
I quickly flip open my cell phone.
“Andy? What’s wrong?”
“I’m in a cab,” she says, her voice thick with tears. “I’m on my way to your house. Alec and I…we got into a fight.”
“Okay, Sweetie. I’ll meet you outside,” I tell her. We hang up and I go sit on the front steps to wait.
Fifteen minutes later, a blue sedan with the words, “Tulsa Taxi” on the side pulls up in front of our gate. I hop down the steps and hurry to the wrought iron fence. I open it up, quickly slipping through and moving to the car. I throw some bills at the driver as Andy climbs from the backseat. I hold her tightly to my side, leading her to the house.
I sit with my friend on my bed, holding her close as she cries quietly.
“Shh, Sweetie. Tell me what happened,” I command gently. Andy takes a deep breath.
“Alec and I went to our room and he wanted to…ya know.” I nod and she continues. “But I didn’t want to just then. I mean, I flew half-way across the country and I was kinda tired. I just wanted to lay down and talk with him.”
“’Bout what?” I ask.
“Your cutting,” Andy answers quietly. A little bubble of anger slowly starts to burn in my chest.
“You were going to tell him about that?” I counter, trying to hold back my anger.
Andy pulls back to look at me. She grasps my hands tightly.
“Please don’t be mad,” she says, her voice pleading. “I just wanted him to tell me that everything would be okay.” I frown.
“You always tell me that,” I point out.
“I know,” Andy replies. “I’m always so strong for you. I just…I needed some reassurance. That’s all.” She shrugs, looking down at our hands. I hug her tightly.
“So you fought because you wanted to talk?” I ask. Andy shakes her head.
“No. We fought because I wanted to talk about you,” she tells me. “We’ve been arguing a lot and it’s always about you. It’s been happening for a while now.”
“How long is a while?”
“Since before he went on tour.” I sigh as her tears start back up.
“Shh, Sweetie. It’s okay,” I tell her.
“He thinks I’m sleeping with you behind his back. He doesn’t believe you’re gay. I just don’t know what to do,” she cries quietly.
I sigh again.
“Andy…I don’t want to piss you off but…Alec sucks,” I tell her. “You don’t need that. You deserve so much better than him.” I kiss my friend’s head. “If I was your boyfriend, I wouldn’t get all jealous of your gay best friend.” Andy nods.
“I know.”
I wrap my arms around Andy, laying down. She curls into me and rubs her nose against mine.
“I love you, Monster,” she whispers. I stroke her cheek replying,
“I love you too, Banana Face.” Then I press my lips gently to hers.
