Good news! Jenna is NOT pregnant, and has finally joined us on the tour. Bad news, LITERALLY EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT JOSH AND I'S RELATIONSHIP, INCLUDING CLIQUE TWITTER.

Not getting harassed or anything, so that's cool. Turns out, the girl staring at us on the plane runs a fan account and was snapping pictures of the three of us all the way to the hotel. And who decides to jump in and out us?

Get ready for it.

My good old friend, SHAWN!

Love the guy. He's great. Great at not staying out of my business, pretty much stalking me since we broke up a VERY LONG TIME AGO, and the best, outing my relationship (that I don't even know how HE knew about) on TWITTER. Really, did I mention I love the guy?

So, now Shawn and Josh have a Twitter beef going. Which is actually kind of hilarious. Josh is totally cool about the whole thing. He's really not bitter. But me? I'm always going to be bitter.

Jenna's bitter with me. What would I do without her? She's gotten quite lucky, since her relationship with Tyler went public. Not much hate, everyone pretty much bows down to her. But, they've also been public with it for a LONG time, before the guys had this huge fanbase. Now, they're getting VERY popular, and it kind of freaks me out.

Are people going to think I'm with him for the fame? Money? I'm obviously not, I mean I've been best friends with Tyler since we were like, 8 years old. It's not that big of a deal, but you know, my brain likes to make things seem even worse than they actually are. Loooooove anxiety. It's great.

On a happier note, the tour is going great so far. It's really amazing to see how happy they are on stage, playing. And the connection with the fans is incredible.

We're all just kind of chilling on the tour bus right now, on our way to the next stop. Things are peaceful. I'm leaning on Josh's shoulder, scrolling on my phone, when I get a text from my brother.

From Benji: You busy? Call me when you get a minute.

Seems like a harmless message, right? My gut is telling me that something's not right.

Ben and Mia are BOTH single, right now. But co-parenting. Ben's still at my house, at least until I go home. He's been taking care of the cats, watering my plants. There's even a whole room set up for the kids to sleep in on the weekends. Debby dropped out of his life. So that's enough for me.

I decide to Facetime him, rather than just voice calling him.

After a couple rings, his face fills the black screen, with a familiar, bright background behind him.

Is he at the hospital?

"Hey, what's going on?"

"I'm at Riverside with Mia."

I fucking knew something was up.

That caught everyone else's attention, because now Tyler, Jenna, and Josh are all surrounding me, looking at my phone.

"Is everything okay? Where are the kids?" I'm kinda freaking out a little bit now, because his eyes are red like he's been crying.

"They're with me," He turns the phone the other way around, showing my niece and nephew sitting at a play table together. "Mom's coming to pick them up- she's here right now, actually. Let me give you a call back in a minute." He says, before hanging up.

That was abrupt and now I'm REALLY freaking out.

I look over at my friends, who are just as baffled as I am.

"Honey, I'm sure everything is f-" Jenna starts, before my ringtone starts blaring.

"Please, tell me what's happening."

"The baby is okay. But Mia called me in the middle of the night. She found a lump in her breast."

His voice cracks. I can't think of anything to say.

"Mom says that it could just be from the pregnancy hormones. But she still wanted to get it checked out..."

"Did you hear anything from the doctor's yet?"

"No, they're still running tests. I'll keep you updated."

I really want to go home now. I'm having a lot of fun on tour, but there's too much going on at home right now. And my family needs me.

"Give me a couple days. I'll be there."
