True Love Never Ends
Chapter 2
**20 years later**
[A/N: by the way, the ages are actually really fucked up. I couldn't be bothered to spend time doing ages when I had this idea therefore, I made it up!]

I looked out the window, watching the world go past. This is the part I hate the most when we're touring. It's so boring. I'd rather be on stage drumming for the best band in the world. Modest, I know, but you have to be if you want to survive in this business. I turned my ipod on and turned it up to the full volume. Zacky and Johnny were hyper. And making loads of noise. I shifted towards the window again. Out on the street there were couples making their way to wherever they were going. Jealousy stung me. Ever since that day I could never face up to her properly. Never tell her how I actually feel. Stupid immature kids. Whenever I saw guys flirting with Lou, I'd always step in and tell them to back the fuck off. She'd always ask why I did it. I'd always say because I’m your best friend.
It just wasn't unfair. All the other guys had partners. And the one person I wanted probably didn't want me. Music stopped blaring through my ears. Shit, my ipod had run out of battery. I flung it at the end of my bunk and walked out towards the kitchen. I flicked on the TV and started watching the first thing that came on the screen. I didn't really register what was actually on because I could hear someone shouting outside. I got up and looked out the window. All I could see was Lou with her hand by her ear looking like as if she was about to cry.
"You fucking bitch. I trusted you. And you went and fucked him." Lou screamed, almost whispering the last two words. The person on the other end of the phone was shouting back. Tears started streaming down Lou's cheeks. I really didn't know what to do. My instinct was saying to run over and just hold her in my arms but my brain was saying to just stay out of it and not get hurt again by her. But surely she'd changed since then? The sound of a phone being chucked at the floor woke me up from my thoughts. I turned round to see Lou slumped on the floor by the side of the bus, crying. The first thought that popped into my head was to go and get Kay’s. She could sort her out, being her best friend and all. I looked through the window and saw Kay’s practically glued to Bri. They were always together and it kinda tore my heart. I've always wanted a relationship like that but I completely failed when it came to that sorta thing. I glanced back at Lou. By this time I was getting pretty concerned, she was sobbing uncontrollably, her eyeliner smudging down her face. I didn’t think she knew that I was here but she looked up, her bluey-green eyes glistening up at me as if she was pleading for help. It sounds selfish but I didn’t want to get myself caught up in a mess. I turned and heading towards the door of the bus. I had to get Kay’s to sort her out. 1. There was no way I would have been able to, 2. She probably didn’t even want me and 3. I had no clue what to do when it came to woman. Kay’s rushed out straight away after I told her, so I slumped on the couch next to Bri.
“Why you looking so upset mate?” Bri asked with a puzzled look on his face. I sighed, not really wanting to say the real reason, but looking at his face changed my mind. I couldn’t lie to him. He’d been my best mate since forever.
“Well…I…” I was in the middle of my sentence when Lou made her way back into the bus. Judging by her face, she was still upset and just a bit pissed off.
“I’ll tell you later” I mumbled.
“Ok mate.” Bri said, pulling Kay’s back onto his lap. They started cuddling and giggling away. I was so fed up. Why were they doing it. It wasn’t only them, it was the other guys as well. I got up and walked back to my bunk. In the corner was a picture of all of us at the school prom. I chucked it at the end, digging my head further into my pillow, trying to forget everything that had happened today.
