I've Got Another Confession To Make

15. Jump Forward

I walked out of my room dressed and ready for everything I had to that day. It was 4:30 in the morning. I had to be at the radio station in 30 minutes to do an interview with Dave to promote the single. I had gotten home yesterday after a hectic press tour for the record that was coming out soon. The movie I had been hired for had wrapped filimg the day before I left for the press tour. I worked my ass off on the movie. Within the next couple of months I was schedule to do another press tour but this time for the movie. I crept down the stairs and out the front door to the car waiting for me. I got in the back and pulled out my phone and the driver drove off. We stopped about 15 minutes later and Dave got into the car. I didn't bother looking up from my phone.

"You ready for this? he asked me.

"Don't talk to me. I will only talk to you for these stupid interviews today but then that's it," I responded without looking up from my phone.

"Look I know you're pissed at me but she asked for another try. I did it formy kids," He snapped at me.

The day before I left to do press for the album with the guys, Dave said he was going back to Jordyn. I was heart broken. I couldn't blame him. 10 plus years and I'd want to give it another chance to. Those girls deserved their father and mother together. He had foubnd a place after staying with Frances for a month. He still had that place but Taylor was currently living in it alone. He decided to leave his wife and they where working on finalizing the divorce.

"We're here,"Dave said as the car pulled up to the radio station. The door opened and he got out. I slid over in the seat and saw Dave was holding his hand out to help me out of the car. I took his hand and got out. We started walking towards the building when my stomach suddenly did a bunch of little flips. I ran over to the side of the building where a garbage canwas and threw up. It happened again and this time someone was holding my hair. When I was done I stood back upright and saw it was Dave who had came tomy hair's rescue.

"Thanks I haven't eaten yet and I barely slept," I said as I ate a piece of gum.

"Don't have to tell me anything.We're not together anymore," Dave said as we got into an elevator. My stomach kept doing flips but I swallowed and took a deep breath in. We walked into the studio and started doign the interview.

We talked about the Foo Fighters new album and about Peace Punks' album. We talked about recording Learn To Fly as a duet and about the tour that was coming up. Peace Punk was gonna be opening up for the Foo Fighters on the up coming 10 month tour. Throughout the entire interview my stomach kept doing flips. What was going on? I wasn't nervous. This had been going on for awhile. I needed to see a doctor. Once the interview was over we went back to the car. We had a few more interviews to do that day together.

We got back into the car and I texted my manager and told him to book a doctors appointment for me. I knew something wasn't right. He messaged back saying he'd try to get one for today.

"Why don't we go get something to eat before the other interviews? That way you won't be so sick," Dave suggested. I nodded my head in response. Dave told the driver to go to our favorite little breakfast place. We went into the restaurant and ate. When it was time for us to head to the hotel to do the other interviews, he went to pay while I went to the bathroom. I got sick again. I walked out to the car and got in when my manager texted me and said he got me in right after the interviews would be done. I thanked him and looked over at Dave.

"I have an appointment after the interviews. Do you think the car could drop me off there instead?" I asked.

"What kind of appointment?" Dave asked.

"Doctors," I responded.

"Ya I'm sure it won't be a problem. Everything ok?" he asked.

"Ya I guess. Just really tired and been getting sick alot lately. Probably not use to traveling so much yet," I responded. We pulled up to the hotel then and the door opened beside me. I stepped out and Dave stepped out behind me.

"Well tell me if everything is ok. We can still be friends. I still care about you," he said as we walked into the hotel.

"Thanks," I said as we walked into the conference room we would be in for the next 4 hours doing interviews.

4 Hours Later

"I'm starving," I said. I was feeling a little better but still queasy. My appointment was in an hour. We had arranged the driver to take me to the appointment, drive Dave home then return to get me and take me home.

"You seem to feeling better," Dave said.

"A bit. I'm really hungry though. Wanna grab some lunch quickly in the hotel restaurant?" I asked. He had the biggest smile on his face.

"I'd love to," he responded.

45 Minutes Later

"That was amazing," I said and rubbed my belly. "This one is on me."

"No. Not until that album becomes numberone," Dave said and took the check from me.

"Fine but when my movie and album got o number I'm taking everyone out for a dinner. Wives included," I responded with a soft laugh.

"Deal. Let's get you to that appointment," he said and stood up. I followed suit and we walked to the car.

On the way to the doctors, I started playing with my hair, something I did when I was nervous.

"I'm sure things will be fine," Dave said as we pulled up outside the building the Dr was in.

"Ya. Not like I'm dying right?" I jokingly asked.

"Let's hope not. Bye Britt. See you tomorrow night at the release party."

"Ya. See ya Dave," I said and closed the door. I headed into the building to find out what was wrong with me.

1 1/2 Hours Later

Oh My God! That's all I had been thinking the whole way home. I walked into the house and saw a note on the table by the door. It was from Frances.

"Went to see Lynz for a bit. Hunter is going to Maria's after school. He'll be home around 8ish. I'll be home around 10. You and me need a girls day tomorrow whilewe get ready for your party. We also need to go shopping. Call Taylor as well."

I pulled my phone out and texted her. "Is there any way you can come home now? We can go shopping or something now. I just really need a friend and to talk right now."

I sat down on the stairs and waited.

"On my way now. Be ready. We'll go shopping for your outfit tomorrow." she responded.

I stood up and walked towards the door. I stopped and looked in the mirror above the table for a minute before walking out of the house. I sat down on the front step and waited for Frances. I just sat there saying the samething over and over again in my head.
