~Lexie's POV.
Practice went alright, but everything was just so awkward. Every time I glanced at Jacob he had seemed to be looking at me too, a sorry look in his eyes. I'd look to Cass and she's just frown and shrug.
I could hardly do good on my vocals, my anxiety was taking over me. I'd stop sometimes because my voice was start to shake and I would feel like I was going to break down any moment.
After we finished Kellin and Jesse were back stage, they came out and smiled at us. "You guys alright?" He turned to me.
I shrugged but nodded quickly anyway. "Yeah, I'm alright. Just a bit tired."
Kellin raised his eyebrow. "You sure, Lex?"
I forced a smile and nodded. "Yeah Kellin, don't worry about it."
He shrugged and helped me take our stuff apart.
I carried my mic off to the back stage and set it down, sighing. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I spun around quickly.
Jacob stood standing there, a sorry look on his face. "Lexie, I-"
I shook my head. "I'm sorry."
"You don't need to apologize, I was a huge jerk."
"You had your reasons, Jake." I sighed lightly and crossed my arms nervously. "And I kind of forgot how big of a deal this thing is. How much we need to be sticking together. You, the rest of the band and I."
He pursed his lips and shrugged. "I don't know, I'm just sorry."
Jake and I were never good with 'sappy' stuff together. We always kind of brushed it off, no cliche shit.
I chuckled and hugged him, though. I was still upset about everything that had happened, but I didn't want to mess with anything. I wanted to know what was behind all of this. Plus, I missed him, and I really wanted things back the way they should be.
"Let's go get lunch? All of us?"
He patted my head. "Yeah, lets go."
We headed out to where Rain, Cass and Taylor were standing by the door waiting for us. "Let's go eat." I spoke to them and they smiled knowing that everything was alright.
We started wandering the streets of Texas searching for a place to eat together.
"Call Adrianna." Jacob suggested to us.
"I will," Rain cut in.
"She's probably with Vic." I spoke softly.
"WHAT." Rain's jaw dropped and she laughed. "WAIT. WAIT. ADRIANNA? AND VIC?"
I laughed and nodded.
"When was this?!"
"Long story short, I found her taking some Fuentes tongue down the throat in the stairwells last night."
Taylor burst out in laughter. "Oh my god.
----------------------------------
~Rain's POV.
Lunch was great, I felt like we were one big family again. The way it was when we first started this a couple years back. Like we were back in high school.
Which is really how I wanted everything to be, because I missed how simple things were.
We all walked back to the hotel where we decided to go our separate ways. I headed upstairs to my room to shower and get changed.
I blow dried and straightened my hair so it wouldn't end up a poofy nightmare.
Lexie appeared from the living room smirking. "Where are YOU going?"
I shrugged and laughed. "Just gonna head out."
"With Hime-time, I assume?" She chuckled.
I shrugged again and shook my head. "I don't know, I'm just gonna wander around."
"Okaaaay." She laughed and plopped on her bed turning on the TV and grabbing her phone. "I'll see ya."
I went to the living room to grab my bag and headed out the door. "Be back soon."
I spotted another alley with a clear wall calling to me. It was my way of having "me time" when I needed to release some stress or think things over.
I opened up my bag and took all of the cans out setting them out and trying to decide which one to use first and then I let my thoughts take over for the rest.
I had my headphones in the whole time and by the time I was finished my playlist was about over.
I stood back admiring my work. I took every chance I could to work on my art, and I wanted the people to see it.
I turned and started packing the cans in my bag.
I guess I didn't hear anyone walking behind me, because shortly a pair of arms wrapped around me. "Hello."
I jumped and saw Jaime standing there smiling brightly at me.
"What are you doing?" he raised his eyebrows.
"Um. Well-"
"Is this what you've been doing?" He stood back and his jaw dropped. He then looked over at me.
"Uh- Well, yeah It's-"
"Amazing." He smiled. "Why didn't you tell me before?"
I shrugged. "I don't know, I guess I just never really told anybody."
He wrapped his arms around me. "Its amazing."
I smiled and hugged him. "Thanks, wait what time is it?"
"Around 2." He shrugged.
"Don't you have meet and greets to do in a couple hours?" I questioned.
"Then we better get going."
"To where?" I laughed.
"I don't know, its been too sunny lately. I need my Rain."
I laughed at his completely cheesy joke. "Really?"
Him and I laughed together. "Too cheesy?" He raised an eyebrow.
"I could dip my chips in it, mi amor." I cheekily at him.
"Now that was pretty bad." He kissed my forehead.
I laughed. "Well, now you don't look lame anymore."
"Hey!" He chuckled.
I laughed and took his hand. "Boo hoo. Let's go." I kissed his cheek and we started to walk down the streets.
