28. First tour
Stephanie woke up early in the morning. She rubbed sleepy eyes and looked around. She was not alone. Jorel was still next to her, his steady breathing filled the room.
The girl stood up quietly, not wanting to wake him up, and marched to the bathroom. She closed the door behind her and walked over to the sink. She looked at her reflection in the mirror.
"What I've done?"
She despised Deuce for what he did, and tonight she proved to be no better than him. Even if he was not fair, she should not be doing the same. Meanwhile she slept with Jorel, and now she had a guilty conscience. She felt bad thinking about Aaron, but she knew that she hurt J-Dog too. Once again, she gave him hope for something that has no future. At one point her whole yesterday's decision on leaving Deuce disappeared somwhere.
She cleaned the face with cold water, fixed her appearance and left the bathroom. J was sitting on the bed and waiting for her to come. When he saw her, his face broke into a wide smile. Stephanie felt worse, but smiled with an effort, looking at him in silence. She folded her arms and stoped, afraid to get close to him.
"How did you sleep?" asked the boy.
"Well. Jorel, I ... we ... "
She did not know how to tell him. She stuttered, searching for the right words. Decker knew her well enough to sense what was coming.
"You gotta be kidding me" he said, standing up and looking for clothes.
He began to dress, it was clear that he is angry and disappointed. Steph went to him and tried to touch him, but he jumped like a scalded.
"Leave me alone"
After these words he came out. Steph sat on the bed and buried her face in her hands.
Deuce came in the afternoon. As usual, he behaved as if nothing had happened. Steph immediately took his hand and they left. She did not want to stay in Jorel's, she preferred to disappear for a while and make her minds.
A week passed, and Stephanie was spending her all time with Deuce. Aaron appeared at rehearsals, at night he still disappeared, but he kinda like this situation. For a long time he suspected that something was wrong, so he was glad that Stephanie and Jorel had quarreled. And although the girl had been nailed down, somehow she stoped to deny having sex with Aaron. It could not be better for him.
Slowly, the boys began to work on their second music video. They choose the song called "Young". It turned out that Johnny has a pretty good idea for a screenplay. The general outline was managed to create in one evening. The next day, they started first shootings.
The time was passing by. They practiced, sometimes they played a little at the bars and clubs. The only thing the boys dont like, was that Jorel and Stephanie are no longer talking to eachother.
"Dude, after all, she was like a sister to you, even more than that. What had happened between you two? "Charlie was not giving up.
"I'm done with her and her sick games."
"You're acting like a stupid shit. I know that she rejected you, but that does not mean that you have to be angry with her. It's not her fault that you do not bet the matter clear at the beginning."
Decker clenched his teeth. He did not tell friends about what had happened between him and Stephanie. It tempted him, but he could not do it to her or himself. He did not want to break up the band, they needed Aaron, and, after all, Steph also did not want to have to deal with him. There was so much to talk about. If only the boys could stop coming back to this topic...
"I don't want to talk about it. This is not your business. "
"We are friends. Everybody. So this is our business, " protested Funny Man.
"If so, I'll go out, and you can disscus it."
He ended the conversation. No one knew what to do about this situation, what is the best way out.
"I swear I will choke them if they did not start to act normally" threatened Johnny, sitting down on the edge of the couch.
Kurlzz sighed, firing a cigarette.
"Something must have happened. Something bigger than usual. "
"But what? And how we can get informations about it? Stephanie is not coming here anymore, and Jorel do not want to talk. Do you have any idea, Kurly-Q? "
"Maybe we will arrange them a trap, we can lure the girl here and shut them in a room together until they explain everything between them."
"Sounds legit, but I do not think that this will work. They don't have five years, although they behave so." Charlie winced.
Unfortunately, they could not deduce anything. In the afternoon Jorel returned with a big smile on his face. Everyone had hoped that he made things up with the girl, but the message he bring them, was not related to her.
"We're going on tour" said Decker.
Everyone looked at him like he was crazy.
"What? How so? When?"
"In two weeks"
"It's fucking great! Our first real tour. I feel like a fucking Eminem! "Kurlzz not hide his excitement.
"Why him?" asked J3T.
"I don't know, I just said that." Kurlzz shrugged.
"We have to be prepared. Double the rehersals, we can prepare some covers to increase our set list... "
"Stephanie is coming with us, right?" Charlie asked.
Jorel didnt say a word.
"You promised her that we will take her" Dylan reminded him.
Jorel capitulated.
"Okay. If she'll want to, I do not mind. "
And so they began their preparations for their first tour in life. Jorel also had a new task. He had to get along with Stephanie.
