When The Lights Go Down

Bailey's POV
I walked back into my room, grabbed my suitcase from the closet and started to pull all my clothing out of the drawers and closet area and pack them away. The excitement of knowing that in just a few short hours I would see Sam fueled my pace and I soon had everything packed minus my clothing for tomorrow morning, some pajama pants and the essential toiletries. Suddenly I remembered I had another brother to beat.

(Bailey text) Joseph!

(Joe text) Monkey!

(Bailey text) don't you Monkey me

(Joe text) ☹

(Bailey text) not happy with u ☹ !

(Joe text) y? 

(Bailey text) Y? ok JAKE just because you are in a different country doesn't make it ok to cheat

(Joe text) harsh! V and I aren't bf/gf her choice! I'm not cheating

(Bailey text) minor details...still not happy with u

(Joe text) don't be mad...it was just a kiss

(Bailey text) how would you feel if V was kissing someone else?

(Joe text) ugh...noted...end the guilt trip please

Bailey’s Inner Monologue

Joe made a valid point, he and V weren't technically dating...there was no spoken or unspoken agreement to stay faithful to eachother because they were just "Friends with benefits".
Ugh...friends with benefits...what a load of crap. I'd like to find the guy that coined that phrase and smack him around for a while. I mean honestly, lets just call it what it really is...."Friends with Benefits" is just a Mickey Mouse way to say "I suck at commitment" or "being faithful really isn't my thing"...or even..."I just want the perks of a girlfriend without having to actually care" It's a cop out. The only reason I hadn't given Joe more crap about it is that V was the one insisting on the FWB status.

*B is laying in bed writing in her journal when Nick walks in and crawls in bed next to her *

(Bailey) are you still a gremlin?

(Nick) dropping good now

(Bailey) good...guess I'll have to cancel that order to God to smite you down 

(Nick) HA...wow you can place orders for those now?

(Bailey) actually my words were more like...if this doesn't work I'm sending him to you and you can deal with his crank ass

(Nick) classy

(Bailey) are you packed?

(Nick) yea, all set and exhausted *yawns*

(Bailey)  yea I bet...being an ass can really wear you down

(Nick) *sighs and grabs B's journal* are you irritated with more than just me?

(Bailey) *grabs her journal* quit acting like you KNOW me

*Nick smirks*

(Bailey) ugh....yes!....Joe Kissed Demi

(Nick) Nice!

(Bailey) *slaps Nick on the thigh* no, not nice! I mean I like Demi but what about V?

(Nick) yea but V and Joe aren't dating

(Bailey) why does everyone feel the need to point out that detail to me? I understand that its just.....ugh....Joe loves V, if he loves her then how could he kiss Demi? It doesn't make sense how could you care for someone and then do something you know would hurt them?

(Nick) Is this about Joe or about you?

(Bailey) *sighs* we go home tomorrow...on Monday I go back to school and Jake has told everyone that I slept with him...knowing how important it is to me to wait...how could he just take that away from me

(Nick) *chuckles* B it takes a little more than a trashy tabloid to lose your virginity...maybe we should revisit the sex talk

(Bailey) *playfully slaps Nick on the shoulder* NOT physically obviously but I mean as far as everyone is concerned its true

(Nick) its just like when people say crap about us in the tabloids, you just have to ignore it. The people who know you know its not true

(Bailey) I guess

(Nick) it will pass, soon there will be another more juicy story floating around and no one will care anymore....like the one where the Jonas Brothers beat the shit out of a local Jersey boy for being a lying douche bag

(Bailey) oooh sounds like a good one....which tabloid is that in? *joking*

(Nick) Not published yet....*smiles*
