For You

chapter 43

"So do you wanna talk about?" Jenny asks, taking a seat next to me on the small couch in the tour bus.

It's been two hours since I stormed out on Ruel and I've spent those hours sitting with my arms crossed staring at the wall, talking to nobody, just listening to the silence.

I scoot farther away from Jenny. "No, I'm fine."

She rolls her eyes and scoots even closer. "You've been sitting here for two hours in silence...and you still have your show clothes on, I don't think you're okay."

I don't want to talk to Jenny about it, and on that note, I don't actually want to talk to anybody. Jenny's too pushy and always up in my business. I don't think she knows what personal space is and really, if she asks me one more time if I'm okay, I will run off this stupid bus, moving or not.

"Stop asking. I'm fine." I push myself even further away from her, fumes forming around my brain.

"You know you if you keep pushing over one more time Madeline you're gonna fall off th-"

Yup, I fell off the couch. Waterworks come flowing out of my eyes. It's not even that falling off the sofa hurt, I just think that this was the last straw for my emotions tonight. I stand up, catch my balance and sit in Jenny's arms.

Crying into Jenny, I exclaim, "I hate Ruel and I don't want to see his pretty face ever again! I hate him, I hate him, I hate him! Stupid him."

"Madeline, what happened?" Jenny wipes the tears off my face.

"I don't want to talk about it. Just know that I never want to see his face again. He ruined his chances with me and he especially ruined Leonardo Dicaprio for me!"

Jenny laughs. "Well, all that I can say is first, you have to see him tomorrow because I promised Kate we'd be at the show, and secondly, just because Ruel looks like Leonardo Dicaprio, does not make Leo 'ruined' for you."

"You're right, Leonardo would never let go." I smile at my joke, but then frown. "There is no way I'm going to his show tomorrow."

Rolling her eyes, Jenny looks at me. "I know you don't want to go, but it's the least you could do. He came to your show today and it would be nice if you went to his tomorrow. Now, I don't know what's going on between you two, but I do know, that if you go tomorrow, you could at least try to make things right. It's your best shot before you have to leave each other."

I nod my head. "You're right. I'm gonna confront him tomorrow. I'm so gonna confront him. Thanks Jenny!"

And with that being said, I walk to my bunk and go to bed. Thoughts are still floating around in my head but I know what I have to do tomorrow when I see Ruel.
