Love's Requiem

The tour was flying by, before I knew it we were already in Philly making our way to Baltimore in three days or so.

"So I finally see you in three days." I said happily over the phone to Alex while we had just left the venue.

"Yup, I already started packing or at least attempting to pack. Lisa's been on my ass to do it if it helps." He laughed.

"That's cool." I said felling a slight twinge of nervousness at the mention of her name.

"Monica has like no clue about the bridal shower or at least that I'm going to be there." I told him with a grin while Jesse shouted at the game he was playing on Xbox.

"Gears of war again?" Alex asked me.

"I think so." I said shaking my head as I threw an oreo at Jesse's head.

"How was the show today?"

"It was great, I'm kind of weirded out when kids ask for pictures with me though. I mean I don't mind talking to them before and after but with the pictures it's like I'm not special why?" I told him making him laugh as I heard the door bell of his house.

"Hey babe I'll talk to you tomorrow Lisa's here." He said quickly.

"Alright, I love you." I told him.

"I love you too, get some rest you sound exhausted by the way." He said before he hung up.

"Should I be worried that Alex has been hanging out with Lisa a whole lot while I'm on the
road?" I asked turning my head to Jesse.

"Do you trust Alex?" Jesse asked me pausing the game.

"Yes."

"Then you have nothing to worry about."

"Yeah, you're right." I nodded as I smiled to myself thinking about how I was going to be
seeing him soon.

By the time the Baltimore show rolled around I could not wait. I know I was driving everyone nuts the whole day waiting for Alex and everyone to come down when doors opened.

"I'm surprised no dress today." Jesse laughed as I walked out of the bathroom in a Croatia jersey, and denim capris.

"Eh some days your feeling the dress, some days you aren't." I shrugged slipping my red vans on.

"Nice I like how they match the shirt." Mike laughed.

"Jesse's taught me well over the years." I laughed, "Now lets go kill that sound check like no bodies business fools." I announced hopping off the bus with everyone following me.

After we had finished sound check I was heading off the stage and back to the bus when someone stopped me.

"Bella!" I heard a familiar voice shout.

I turned around to see Lisa walking to the back stage area, the weird part was she was by herself. I knew she was on the guest list because Alex had asked me to put her on because she wanted to come down as well. I figured no harm no foul because well she was still one of his good friends and I respected that and her.

"Lisa" I said giving a weak smile, "Where's Alex and everyone?" I asked looking around as I
saw the rest of my friends leave and Jesse linger outside the doorway cautiously.

"I just wanted to come down early and talk to you." She explained.

"Oh, well what's up? How have you been?" I asked her.

"Seeing as I'm slowly getting back the man you stole from me pretty good." She spat out.

"Whoa what?" I said letting out a chuckle, figuring she was joking or something.

"I came down here to tell you to back off, Alex and I had something amazing before you dug your claws in him."

"Okay, well I would back off and all but there's one problem I'm pretty sure Alex is happy with me."

"Please, he just likes you because he can get laid on the road now. Though I don't understand why he had to make you his girlfriend since you had no problem doing that while he was with me."

"And this is where I leave, and this conversation's over." I said walking past her as I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. "Did you just fucking hit me?" I exclaimed as I felt my blood rush.

"Guys!" I heard Jesse yell as he saw me spin around.

"Bella no!" John shouted grabbing me as I lurched at Lisa ready to punch her.

"What the fuck you saw it she fucking hit me!" I defended trying to get out of his grasp. "John let me go." I told him as I almost got out his grasp.

"I see things don't change you're already back to screwing other guys in the road huh?" Lisa taunted me as I got out of John's grip, and lunged at her.

"Bella stop, you're better than this!" Jesse told me as him, John and Ken all grabbed me and
Mike and a few of the crew got in between me and Lisa.

"You're lucky you're Alex's friend, or I would have had you laid out on a fucking stretcher by now!" I shouted as Ken and Jesse dragged me to the dressing room.
