The tour was underway and our first stop was Dallas Texas I sat next to Michelle on the long ride there she couldn't take her eyes off of Brian which seemed a little off to me because Dan had been sitting right across from us but he seemed a little pre occupied at the moment tonight everyone wanted to explore Dallas but work had to come first before anything else I sat by the window seat with a lot going through my mind Brandon was asleep the entire ride and I didn't want to wake him by being an annoying wife he needs his rest and I plan on giving him just that Matt and Brian went over tonight's setlist while Alex and Dan had put together their setlist I wouldn't have thought that I would be in a position like this... I just hope I can get through this tour in one piece I thought to myself.

I waited for everyone to exit the bus while I stayed behind I saw Michelle gathering the rest of her things up before exiting the bus I need to get down to the bottom of this and quickly before an unexpected chaos of shit happens I looked in the bathroom mirror fixing my makeup and brushing my hair before getting off the bus the group decided to pay for hotel accommodations everyone was going to be rooming together which left me all alone with a suitcase and a suspicious outlook on things I saw Matt and Val down the hallway kissing each other with such passion and love and it had got me thinking about how Brandon and I used to look at each other the same way but some things are not looking so good lately we have been at each others throats and he shuts me out altogether before even thinking about it.

"Do you need any help with those bags?" Brian asked taking a drag of his cigarette and helping me inside.

"Yes I do actually thank you." I smiled as he carried my suitcase inside.

"No problem." Brian smiled.

"Where's your irish beauty ?" I chuckled

"She's around here somewhere."

I stepped inside my room slowly closing the door behind me I flopped down on the king sized bed kicking off my shoes and stripping off my clothes and preparing a relaxing bubble bath I looked outside of my bathroom window to see Brandon making his way up to our room I wrapped up my exposed body before picking up my dirty clothes and placing them in the laundry basket I heard a knock at the door I rushed to the door without thinking twice and kissed a pair of soft lips that tasted like cherry lip balm I looked up to see Jolie standing there in shock I felt so ashamed but satisfied in a way... I just kissed Brian's "friend!" I thought to myself.


I stepped back and resumed my bubble bath without thinking twice about what just happened Jolie knocked on the bathroom door but I had been too ashamed to answer it I slumped down deeper in the tub with a million thoughts running through my mind Jolie knocked a second time I wrapped my wet naked body up in a towel and joining Jolie in my bedroom she sat there with a smirk on her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that ?" I asked.

"I wanted to thank you for the warm welcome." Jolie chuckled.

"Okay?" I questioned.

"Calm down sweetie I'm not asking for a peep show." Jolie hugged me and offered to do my hair and makeup.


For the next two weeks Jolie and I talked about our lives and growing up she seemed like a cool person who has become a friend we made each other friendship rings that we would keep long before she has to return to Belfast and go back to a dull life of horses and cows I gave Jolie my contact information.

"Well I must be going lassie we all have a big day tomorrow." Jolie hugged me goodbye and made her way out I flopped down on my bed thinking about a huge amount of things I could still smell Jolie's perfume on the bed I turned on the TV and watched a repeat of Sons Of Anarchy... Why couldn't my life be like this ? I thought to myself. After the episode ended I cuddled up in bed and drifting off to sleep.

Free from last night's emotional roller coaster I had gotten up and made my way to the bathroom I looked terrible but I still felt great about last night I found a note from hotel staff that read as follows:

Dear Mrs. Ashley Saller,

We are here to inform you of your husband's recent hospitial vist on March 23 he suffered a few broken ribs and a busted up lip but he's been doing great and he's such a pleasure to have around he's been asking to see you so whenever you get this please come quickly.

Sincerely, Mr. Rogers. Hotel Mangement.

I raced to the hospitial in a hurry not worried about the cops pulling me over for a stupid reason the only thing that mattered to me was Brandon's safety I saw a parking space right next to Val's car.. Now what was she doing here ? I thought to myself. And what I saw was a surprise to us all..
