You chose to Talk to Jerome now

"Sure, hold on one moment." Mitch said to his friend. He turned to Rob. "Can you handle this?" Rob nodded and Mitch turned to Lachlan. "You better have good reasons to lose something a great as a loyal best friend." Mitch turned back to Jerome and the two headed towards their tent. 

"What was that about?" Jerome asked, noticing the stress on Mitch's face.

"Um, I don't think Lachlan and Preston are friends anymore. That seems to be what Lachlan thinks at least. I hope it's not true though."

"Yeah, not only for us but for the fans. Don't you remember how terrible the TC split-up was on them?" Jerome said as they both stopped at the tent. 

"Yeah, I'd hate to see something happen to those two." Mitch said, glancing back at the argument which had once again become riled up.

"You can go help them if you'd rather. I can wait." Jerome said, looking at the ground self-consciously. He was drawing in the dirt with the toe of his shoe.

"Nah Biggums." Jerome's head perked up slightly. "You're more important. Any day, any time." Jerome smiled for the first time in a long time and Mitch held the flap to the tent open for his beaming friend. Mitch thought he was important.
