Best friends, again?

“Holy shit, look who is all grown up now and shit” I turn around and grin at Zacky, looks like they finally caught up and realized that it is indeed me.
I smile and walk up to Zacky hugging him tight. After I get an equal warm welcome from Matt and Johnny we dive into a conversation as they want to know every detail of what happened in the past two years.
We are suddenly stopped by my phone ringing and I smile at the silly picture flashing at my phone screen
“Look it is your boyfriend” Tammy says in a childish sing-song voice but I only roll my eyes
“For the millionth time we are just friends” but all I am getting out of her is an equally annoyed eye roll so I sight and turn to the boys again
“Have you met Tammy yet? The most annoying reporter ever, she is the one who is going to grill you today” I slide my thumb across my phone and lift it to my ear
“Hey Tuck” I walk a couple of steps from everyone to be able to have my conversation in piece.
Once my conversation is finished I put my phone back into my pocket and turn to Chris once again
“Pictures first?” he nods and I grab my camera, calling out to the guys that we are getting started. I take a couple of really great pictures and Chris is happy. I pack up my stuff and walk over to Jimmy and the boys, my bag heavy on my shoulder
“Don’t you dare tell me you are planning on leaving now” Jimmy says but I just send him an apologetic half smile, half shrug
“Sorry. But I am leaving for the UK tomorrow and I still have a shit load of stuff to do”
“What’s in the UK?” Zacky asks with a sad face and suddenly I feel guilty for not making time for them. I just thought that this would be so awkward that I figured I would need a fast way out
“Tour” I say a little sadness creeping into my own voice
“Oh so you move 3000 miles away to get a job on your own but it is perfectly okay for your boyfriend to tag you along as their photographer. So what fucking him makes it okay?” I raise an eyebrow at Brian’s sarcastic tone, how dare he? Well he is in for it for sure if I have learned one thing in the last two years it is to take no bullshit from anyone but to stand my own ground. I slowly turn to him and hear Tammy whisper
“ohoh” behind my back. She has seen me bitch someone out before
“Listen to me Mr. first of all it is none of your fucking business all right, what jobs I take and why I get them is MY decision. Second he is not my boyfriend but even if he was again none of your fucking business. You lost your right to have a say in my life the second you made out with me on the beach and then basically tossed me aside a second after only to treat me like shit the entire tour. The fact that we are no friends anymore is entirely your fault. I tried Brian okay, I send you thousands of texts. Hell I waited like a complete and utter idiot, like one these silly little Bitches who are so dependent on a stupid guy like my life and my opinion and what I wanted didn’t even matter, I waited on that stupid airport for you to show up and tell me bye and that nothing was going to change. That we were always going to be friends. Now don’t blame me if I build a life without you because you didn’t wanted me to be in yours any longer. I am not going to take any shit from you anymore. I will not stand by and let you make comments about a life you have no Idea of. I am not that silly little girl with a crush on her big brothers friend anymore. I worked my ass off to get to where I am. And for your information they did not book me because I fucked any of them they did it because I am good at what I do, because I have experience in tour photography and because they want good pictures. So how about you shut the fuck up and care about your own life and keep the fuck out of mine ” I let out one big breath and turn around to face Jimmy and the guys all looking kind of shocked
“Why don’t you guys come over for Dinner? That way we could spend some time together before I have to leave. Just let Tammy take you to the apartment when you are done with everything here and I’ll meet you there.” I kiss Jimmy’s cheek as they all nod and leave, hitting Tammy up with a text to fill her in on our dinner plans and go about my day, do last minute preparations for the tour. The most important of it all is to dye my hair. I decide on various layers of blue, starting with deep blue on the roods and getting lighter and lighter until my points are a light turquoise.
Once everything is finished I call our favorite Take Out Restaurant and order a shit load of food and make sure the table is set and the beer is cold.
I don’t know why but I feel the need to dress to impress so I walk into Tammy’s room and look for her cute black lace mini skirt. I combine it with a white Drop Dead crop top and pull my hair into a high bun. I like the outfit; it is a little more revealing then what I usually wear but it shows of my many tattoos in a nice way.
Taking a last deep breath I step out of my room and face the guys in the front of my apartment.
