Romeo In Blue Jeans

When I opened my eyes the next morning, I was greeted by my favorite green eyes and perfect smile in the world.

"Good morning, love." he said and kissed me.

"Good morning, my prince charming." I smiled.

"Prince charming?" he grinned.

"MY prince charming." I said and he chuckled.

"I like the sound of that." he said before pressing his lips against mine again.

We got up after about 5 minutes of cuddling and brushed our teeth. Then, we went downstairs where the guys were still laying down watching tv.

"Good morning." I said as I lie down in between Kenny and Pat. John lay down on top of all of us.

"At what time did everyone go to sleep?" John asked.

"At about 6 in the morning." Jared answered.

"My head is killing me." Garrett groaned.

"Same here." I said and high fived him.

"Hangovers suck." Kenny added. If we all had woken up with hangovers, I couldn't imagine how Melli, Singer, Vivi, and Kirky were going to wake up. Specially Melli. I left to the kitchen to start breakfast. John followed and helped me. We made ham and cheese omelets for everyone. It was only me and the guys sitting around the table since everyone was still asleep.

"At what time do we have to leave?" Pat asked.

"Noon." Tim answered as he chewed. I glanced at my phone for the time.

"So we have two hours to be ready." Max added.

"I'm going to wake up everyone." I excused myself and left my plate in the dish washer. I went upstairs and knocked on Vivi’s door. No one answered so I opened the door. Empty. I knocked on Melli’s door and Kirky opened. Melli was sitting on the bed with Singer and Vivi as Kirky walked back to stand next to Vivi. Her eyes were red and puffy, telling me she had been crying.

"Alexander De Leon!" I said angrily. He had done something to her. I walked to him and he jumped out of the bed. He ran out of the room and I chased after him.

"Why are you chasing me?" He asked as he ran down the stairs.

"What did you do to her?" I asked. He stood behind the couch of the living room. I stood in the opposite side of the couch.

"I didn't do anything." He answered.

"What's going on?" Jared asked as him and the rest of the guys gathered around in the living room.

"She's chasing me and she doesn't let me explain myself." Singer answered.

"Vivi and I warned you that we were going to kick your ass if you ever hurt Melli." I said. I was about to jump over the couch, but Jared and John grabbed me.

"It’s okay, Carter." Melli said as he came downstairs.

“There's no need to kick his ass today." Vivi added.

“Then why were you crying?" I asked, calming down. Jared let me go, but john's hand entwined through mines. “Are you pregnant?”

“NO!!!” She laughed. "Singer misses his family. He wants to go back to Vegas." She explained. I turned back to Singer. I know I saw a tear, but he whipped it away fast.

"Singer!" I said and ran to give him a hug.

"I'm going to miss you guys." He said.

"We're still going to keep in touch like always right?" Vivi asked.

"Of course." Singer smiled.

After all of the commotion, we showered, changed, picked up all of our things, and packed them into the bus. We grabbed a few snacks to have in the bus and we all stood outside of the house to say our goodbyes. I hugged my friends as hard as I could. I picked up Jace and he licked my cheek. He whimpered when I handed him to Kirky.

"Melli and I are really glad that you're happy." Vivi smiled.

"Thank you, guys." I smiled and hugged them again.

The guys and I climbed in the bus and we waved goodbye as the bus started to drive away. I sat in the couch with John and pat as I stared out of the window.

"Are you sad that you had to leave?" Jared asked.

"Not really. I’m happy because I'm with you guys." I smiled.

John wrapped his arm around my shoulders and kissed my hair. We had another long drive ahead of us. We were driving all the way to Minnesota for a show that night. I uploaded the pictures I had taken with the guys, then. I stopped in the one that Melli had taken of me and John kissing in the pool. We both looked extremely happy. I smiled and showed it to John.

"Can I put that as my default?" John asked.

"On where?" Pat asked.

"Twitter and Facebook." John shrugged.

"That should cause a commotion." Kenny chuckled.

"Let it." John answered, obviously not giving a shit about what anyone had to say. He looked at me with a smile and I smiled back.

I uploaded all of the pictures of me and the guys onto my Facebook and made the picture of John and me kissing as my profile picture. John grabbed his laptop and made the picture as his twitter and Facebook picture. I uploaded it into my twitter as well.

"Bring on the feedback." Garrett laughed.

I showed the guys the picture of all eight of us jumping into the pool and it had come out great. We were all midair with the crystal water and the perfect sunny day.

"That picture is awesome." Jared said.

All of our phones rang. It was a tweet and it read: johnmaine: I dgaf so hard right now. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you talking about the whole picture thing?" Tim asked.

"Yeah." John chuckled.

I stroke his hair and he wrapped his arm around me. We stayed like that for a while as we watched tv. Kenny, Jared, Pat, and Garrett went to their bunks after a while so they could take a nap. Tim and Max went to the back room to lie back in the couch and sleep too. John and I stayed in the front. He laid his head on my lap and gazed up at me.

"Everyone still feels that hangover." I chuckled and played with his hair.

"Do you feel it?" he asked.

"Definitely." I answered and he smiled.

He entwined his hand through my free one and rested them on his chest as he stroke my knuckles with his thumb. His eyelids started to drop as I continued stroking his hair. I smiled when he did fall asleep. Our entwined hands would rise and fall in his chest with his calm breathing. It made me even more sleepy, so I closed my eyes and drifted.

----------------------------

I woke up about two hours later and John was still asleep on my lap. I smiled and stroke his short hair. I opened my computer and settled it on the arm of the couch. I went on tumblr out of curiosity. Someone had reblogged someone else's post of me and john's picture kissing. In the bottom, it read; people really needs to stop hating on them. I think that they are the cutest couple ever and it's john's choice to be with her. He's obviously happy and in love with her and that's what matters. Don't talk shit because you're hating on the poor girl. She's extremely nice.

Under that, there was another picture. It was a picture of me and the girl who had written that about John and I. So she was the girl that had asked me for a picture. I smiled and decided to send her a message saying: I don't know if you'll believe this is me or not, but hopefully you do. You have no idea how much what you posted means to me. Thank you so much for that. Since the first day I met John, I've been afraid of his fans hating me, but I'm glad to see that the guys have such amazing fans like you. Thank you so much.

John woke up about half an hour later and stared up at me. He smiled as I stroke his hair again.

"How was your nap?" I smiled.

"Great." he yawned. "Did you get to sleep?"

"Yeah for about two hours." I answered. He stood up and stretched. I stood up as well to stretch out my legs.

"We haven't actually had an official date you know?" John said.

"What are you thinking?" I smiled.

"I'll take you in a very romantic date tomorrow." he wrapped his arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around him. "how about if now we take advantage that everyone's sleeping and we can cuddle under a warm blanket while watching a movie?"

I agreed to his great idea. We searched through movies and picked a romantic comedy. I sat in the couch as John turned off the lights. He sat next to me and he covered us both with a blanket. I scoot closer to him and he put my legs on top of his lap. He started the movie and our hands entwined. I rested my head on his shoulder and he kissed my hair. We stayed like that throughout the whole movie. The ending credits were on now and John kissed my forehead. I cuddled closer against him.

"Has anyone ever told you how warm and cuddly you are?" I asked.

"Hope," he chuckled. "But I'm glad you're the one that informs me about that." His lips pressed against mine.

"What time is it?" I heard Garrett yawn. John and I broke apart to see him rubbing his eyes sleepily and sitting down in the couch in front of us.

"Four something." John answered.

"Did you guys sleep?" Garrett asked, noticing how we were cuddling and the movie credits were still on.

"Yeah, for a bit." I answered. Tim ran from the back of the bus and went over to the bus driver.

"How much longer until we get to the venue?" He asked. "We're late."

"We should arrive in ten minutes." the bus driver answered.

"Okay good. Thank you." Tim sighed and sat next to Garrett.

"At what time is the show?" Garrett asked.

"Seven, so we can grab something fast to eat and go in the venue." Tim answered.

"Should we wake up everyone then?" I asked. Tim nodded. John and I stood and walked to the bunks. We woke up the guys as Tim woke up Max, Aaron, Vito, and everyone else.

The bus finally stopped in the venue and everyone was awake. Kenny moved the blinds a bit so he could glance outside. The line was pretty long and people were already freaking out about the bus arriving.

"Why don't you guys just head inside and I'll buy some food for everyone?" I asked.

"I'll tag along." Garrett said. I smiled and nodded.

We were going to the chipotle across the street and we wrote down what everyone wanted. I kissed John before Garrett and I put on our shoes and stepped outside. We put on our sun glasses from how sunny it was. People yelled and called out Garrett’s name, but he just smiled and waved. We were in a hurry so we didn’t have time to stop and chat. I heard screams coming from behind us as we walked. We reached the street light and waited to cross the street.

"Uh oh." Garrett said as he glanced to the side. I followed his gaze to see five girls half running to us. The light turned red and we ran to the other side of the street. We were glad that the light was fast and the girls couldn't cross it behind us. We made it into chipotle and ordered. As they filled our order, Garrett and I talked.

"So why did you and Rachel break up?" I asked.

"She cheated on me." He answered.

"You guys dated for a really long time."

Garrett nodded. "That didn't matter to her apparently. The second we broke up, she was already hooking up with another guy."

"The three hearts on your arm were for her?" I asked and he nodded. He was silent and deep in thought for a while.

"Garrett, you are the kindest guy I've ever met. Any girl would be lucky to be with you. She's an idiot for not realizing how amazing you are. It makes me want to kick her ass for cheating on you." He smiled and hugged me.

Everything we ordered was ready and they had put everything in about five bags. Garrett dug for his wallet in his pocket, but I was faster. I handed the cashier my credit card and she swiped it as Garrett tried to protest. I stuck out my tongue at him as the cashier handed me back my card. We grabbed the bags, put on our sunglasses, and stepped outside.

"We told you we didn't want you to spend your money." Garrett said as we waited in the light to cross the street.

"And I told you guys that I didn't want you to not let me pay for anything. It's the least I can do." I answered.

"What do you mean the least you can do? You do everything by just being with us." He assured me and I smiled.

"How did I get so lucky to be with you guys?" he smiled and we crossed the street. We hid behind a car to check how we would make it inside. The line had gotten longer.

"How are we going to make it inside without being mobbed?" I asked.

"Like ninjas." Garrett grinned and I laughed.

We started for the venue, hiding behind cars. My phone vibrated in my pocket, making me jump. John was calling me.

"Where are you, love?" he asked when I answered.

"We're trying to go inside without being mobbed." I answered.

"I'll open the door for you and Garrett." he chuckled and we hung up.

"Alright, let's just walk in." Garrett said. I nodded and we walked normally to the venue. Fans cheered and tried to ask Garrett for pictures, but he pointed out that he couldn't and that they would hang out after the show. We ran inside and John closed the door behind us. He helped us carry the bags of food and we went to the dressing room. We sat down and ate. When we finished, I followed the guys into soundcheck. I stood in the pit taking pictures as they practiced.

"How does it sound?" Jared asked as John carefully pulled me up onto the stage.

"Amazing like always." I answered.

We went back to the bus before doors opened. Fans in line cheered and tried to mob us. We ran into the bus and sighed. The guys changed into their full black performing clothes. I helped them by fixing their shirts and hairs.

"I have an idea." John said. He was wearing his black skinnies and a white tank top but not his usual performance shirt to match the others.

"What is it?" Pat asked.

"I have been inspired to perform shirtless." John answered and we all laughed, including him.

I was helping Garrett with the collar of his shirt. He noticed something and looked down at my hand. I followed his gaze. I had bruises in my wrist from how hard mike had gripped it the night before.

"How did you get those?" Garrett asked.

"What's wrong?" Pat asked.

"She has bruises on her wrist." Garrett answered. John stepped out of the bathroom and stood next to me in a matter of seconds. He gently grabbed my hand and looked over my wrist.

"How did you get them?" Jared asked.

"It was Mike," I answered. "I yelled at him to leave and he grabbed my wrist really angry. I didn't realize I had them until now that Garrett noticed them."

"Was that before he hit you?" Kenny asked. I nodded and covered my wrist with my free hand.

"Do they hurt?" Garrett asked. I shook my head and assured them to finish getting ready. John kissed my forehead and I smiled. I was helping pat with his collar when Tim came in.

"Time to rock." He said.

We stepped out of the bus and the line was gone. Everyone was already inside. We went backstage and watched as this century performed. I felt John and the guys watching me as I took a few pictures of this century. When they stepped out of the stage, we all went to the dressing room so the guys could so their ritual.

We stood there talking for about ten minutes while the guys' set was being set up. John wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him. He was still shirtless and warm.
John and I followed everyone backstage again. Kenny and Jared grabbed their guitars, Garrett grabbed his bass, pat his drumsticks, and John just jumped around, pumped up. I hugged them and wished them luck as they stepped into the stage and cheers erupted.

Tim and I stood at the side of the stage warding the guys and taking pictures. We would joke on who took the best picture. It was a tie.

The guys finished and stepped out of the stage, and I hugged them again. I jumped into john's arms last and he chuckled as he kissed me. We went to the dressing room again.

"I'm going to the merch table to help Vito." I said as the guys changed. John kissed me before I left.

I went to the front of the venue where everyone was framed waiting for the guys to do their meet and greet. I joined Vito behind the merch table and handed him a water bottle. He smiled and thanked me. I helped him pick up the table so the guys could do their signing. People in the line would keep staring at me.

The guys finally came in and people cheered. They joined Vito and I behind the merch table. I stood behind the guys taking pictures as they met their fans. Vito and I sat in the foldable chair behind them after a while. He would poke Garrett’s butt with a stick he had.

"Get that stick out of my butt." he turned to Vito evilly. I laughed, happy that I had decided to record it. Vito and I noticed after a while that the guys were sweating a lot. I stood up and fanned one by one.

"I found the fan." Vito said. He plugged in the small fan and handed it to me. I turned it on and lifted the back of Garrett’s shirt and aired his back. I did the same for the rest of the guys. John was last for the signing table. I stood behind him as I aired his back.

"Better?" I asked him.

"Definitely," he smiled over his shoulder. "Thanks."

"Are you guys thirsty?" I asked. They nodded and left to the back. I asked the manager of the venue for seven bottles of water and he gladly helped me carry them back to the meet and greet table. We handed the guys and Vito the bottles and I kept one for myself. I sat with Vito again and watched the guys.

Then, the groupies were up next. It was one blonde and two brunettes. They tried to flirt with the guys, but they ignored the sluts. When they got to John, the blonde glanced at me and then smiled at John with a flirty smile. Her friends were trying to convince John to sign her chest. I could feel myself gripping the water bottle harder. John said no nicely but they kept going at it.

"I'm sorry, but if you don’t go now, I will call security to help you out." John said angrily. The blonde rolled her eyes and left with her pack of two sluts. My hand loosened on the bottle. I looked down to see it halfway crushed now. I blushed and stood up.

"I'm going to head to the bus now." I told the guys.

"You okay?" Pat asked. I smiled and nodded.

John took my hand and pulled me closer. "We'll be there in a bit."

I smiled and nodded before he kissed me. He smiled before I started walking away. I blushed as everyone stared at me. I threw the water bottle away before getting in the bus. I went to the back and lay down in the couch. I sighed and stared at the ceiling.

"What just happened? Why did I get so mad?" I asked myself. "Jealousy? But he rejected her. I should be happy about him rejecting her, so what's wrong with me?"

I groaned and stretched out so my head was handing off the couch. I closed my eyes and though back to the day where they told me I was going to tour with the guys. I couldn't help but smile as everything that John and I went through flashed in my mind. I made myself more comfortable and shut my eyes. I hadn't realized how tired I was until I dozed off.

---------------------------------

John POV

"What time is it?" Garrett asked as we made our way out of the venue. We had finally finished with the meet and greet.

"Ten minutes to midnight." Max answered.

"What do you think happened to Carter?” Jared asked.

"You guys didn't notice, did you?" Vito asked.

"What are you talking about?" Kenny asked.

“Before that blonde chick went up to you and asked you to sign her chest, she gave Carter a challenging face." Vito answered.

"She did?" I asked. Why did this keep happening? What if she gets sick of shit like that and decides to leave. I can't possibly handle losing the love of my life.

Vito nodded. We climbed into our cold welcoming bus and the couches were empty. I checked every bunk and the bathroom, but Carter wasn't in there. I checked the back room and found her. She had fallen asleep on the couch. I smiled and walked over. I knelt down in front of her and stroke her hair.

"There she is" Pat said as he came in the room. Everyone else joined us.

"I'm going to carry her to her bunk." I said as I stood up. I picked her up into my arms bridal style and she stirred sleepily.

"John." She whispered.

"It’s okay. I'm just carrying you to your bunk so you can be more comfortable." i answered.

"I have to change to my pjs." She said sleepily, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Okay." I chuckled and set her down. She grabbed her pjs and went off into the bathroom. I sat in the front couches with my band mates. I heard the bathroom door close five minutes later and then Carter ran over to me and hugged me.

"What was that about?" I smiled, wrapping my arms around her fragile frame.

"Sorry I want awake when you guys came back." She said.

"It’s okay," Garrett laughed. "You were tired."

She ran over and hugged him too. She then moved on to hug everyone else. She sat next to me and I wrapped my arms around her shoulders as she cuddled against me.

"I love you." She whispered. I smiled and kissed her head.

“I love you, too.” I answered. We all stayed watching tv for a while. I was stroking Carter's hair as I felt her falling asleep.

"Well, someone knocked out." Jared said as he stared at Carter. I glanced down and she looked exhausted.

"Maybe we should head to bed already." Pat said.

"Yeah, who wants to help me out so I don't wake her up?" I asked.

Garrett stood up and carefully picked her up into his arms bridal style. I stood up and took her into my arms. Garrett moved away her covers and I lay her down in her bunk. I covered her and kissed her forehead. Not once did she wake up, showing how tired she was. Everyone changed into their pjs and we headed to sleep.

I lay in my bunk using my phone. I logged into twitter to find people still asking about Carter. I sighed and wrote; I've never been in love as I am now. I shut off my phone and fell asleep after a while with a smile on my face.
