Night Changes

New York

"So, I guess I missed a lot then." Michael says with a sigh as he does one last look-over of my outfit for the day.

I nod slowly. "I thought I was doing the right thing, but it's only made me realize how much I miss her... and want her."

"Maybe that's a good thing then. A lesson learned."

"Yeah but I don't think she'll want me back, man. I keep doing this to her. I know she's getting fed up. I would be too for fucks sake. She practically said we should move on and see other people. I was doing this for us!"

"I think she's hurt, and she'll say anything out of hurt. Just give it a bit more time and then I'm sure she'll be ready to talk it out. Have you told her about Canada yet?"

I groan in frustration before pinching the bridge of my nose.

I had secured a supporting role in a film called The Silencing shortly after this tour was supposed to wrap.

I had known about it for quite some time, even back before this break thing happened between Jo and I. But I hadn't found the right time to tell her, perhaps for selfish reasons.

Both of us were unsure of what was going to happen after this tour ended but looking back, I regret not telling her on the one hand. On the other, now she was free to do whatever she wanted without having to be bound to me.

Not that I wouldn't have loved to have her visit me on set.

Part of me feels like if I would've known things would've played out like this, I wouldn't have fucked her in the shower that night in Los Angeles.

That one night changed everything.

For better or for worse? I had no idea.

At this point, all we could do was continue to remain professional and attempt to be friends while we figured everything out.

Although after Jo practically told me to piss off at the after party, I wasn't too sure where our relationship was going at the moment.

When I meet her outside of my room, she has a smile on her face which seems to be a good sign. Or maybe it was because Maria had gone home.

Either way, she seemed to be in a good mood.

Until I found the time to tell her about Canada.

I had to.

I owed it to her.

Our first interview of the day is with Nylon magazine, and we're doing a quick sixty second interview.

The idea is to answer every question given to us in sixty seconds or more.

Jo and I are able to get through it in less than sixty seconds, the interview overall being lighthearted and funny.

Especially when Jo decided to pull a random pair of matches out of her trousers.

On our way to the Fox News 5 studio to do our interview with Anna, I can't help but wonder out loud what had put her in such a good mood.

"I don't know." She sighs. "I guess I'm just happy that the tour is almost over, and I've been looking into a lot of jobs."

"That's great." I tell her with a smile.

"Yeah." She says before looking over at me with a small smile. "And I'm just trying not create any tension between us."

I shift uncomfortably in my seat before looking out the window.

There was always tension between us, regardless of what kind.

I hated that things were like this, but I knew I had done it for a reason.
