《 CASPER》
As soon as I met the rest of both groups downstairs in the lobby, Lauren looked over at me. I quickly averted my eyes, not wanting to deal with whatever we had going on right now.
It was too early in the morning to get into a discussion about why the hell she left in the middle of the night. After we had fucked.
All I could figure out is that it was just a one night stand to her. The one thing I promised myself I'd never get involved in. Cause it only led to one thing, someone getting hurt.
And in this case that was probably gonna end up being me. As much as I hated to say it.
We had to head back to the tour buses for another full day of driving, and it was once we were back at the buses that I was filled in on the fact that we were all going to be riding in one bus together until we stopped for the night.
Because the guys thought it would be more fun that way, since riding in the bus was the only thing we had to do today. Which was just great.
As soon as we got back to the bus, I walked back to the bunk area - grabbing some clothes out of my bag and walking into the restroom to change.
I opened the door back up, finding Lauren standing there. "What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"What's wrong with you? You're kind of being an ass."
I scoffed, shaking my head and walking past her. I sat down beside Alby on the couch and pulled my phone out, ignoring Lauren when she sat down beside me. I forced myself to glance over at her when my phone went off.
Laurser: so why are you pissed?
Me: no reason. Just kind of thought
we'd just go to ignoring each
other now. Considering you
disappeared this morning.
Laurser: you're seriously pissed
because I left early this morning?
Me: I'm not pissed.
Laurser: sure seems like you are.
Look Casper - tour and relationship
doesn't mix good. It always ends
messy.
Me: well you could have clued
me in on that at the beginning.
I shoved my phone back into my pocket, feeling her gaze on the side of my face. I ignored the multiple times my phone went off, keeping my eyes on the rest of the group as they all talked about different things.

Somehow by the end of the day, the decision had been made for our driver to switch off with a different one and for us to keep going through the night.
At that point the rest of the guys decided the girls could just chill out for the night on our bus. Instead of having to stop for them to switch buses.
Which we had enough room for everyone thankfully. We had two extra bunks, and then the other three could bunk with someone.
We had all gone to our beds a couple hours ago and I had been unable to actually fall asleep yet. I knew it was due to how everything had gone with Lauren. But it was really getting on my nerves, not being able to get to sleep.
It didn't help that I was all too aware of my phone having gone off a few more times since we had all headed to different beds. I finally gave up, grabbing my phone from beneath my pillow and opening up my messages.
Laurser: you awake?
Please answer me Casp.
Casper, come on.
Me: what is it?
Laurser: you wanna talk
about everything?
Me: not right now, I don't.
Look Lauren, I really just
do one night stands, okay.
Laurser: you're the one who
kept telling their brother you
didn't have time for a relationship
between the groups shit and
the shit involving your brother.
Me: He was hounding me
about having a girlfriend.
He doesn't think it's a good
idea for me to have all of
you around when I'm off
the road. Bout scared Alby
to death when he picked
me up when we left LA.
Laurser: he can't determine what
you do.
Me: obviously. Especially
considering last night. But
look it's fine, my fault.
Laurser: it's not your fault.
Me: yeah it is.
And with that, my phone went back underneath the pillow and I forced my eyes shut for the hundredth time since I laid down.

And I wasn't sure how our one time thing had switched into a multiple time thing. But every time she showed back up at my hotel room, I let her in. And we fucked. And she'd be gone by the time I woke up in the morning.
It wasn't ideal. But it was something.
And whenever we were around the rest of the group, it was like nothing had happened. There was no mention of anything having happened between us. And no one else seemed to notice anything off.
All I knew is I still hated the fact that it was just sex. I was just a good fuck every once in a while. Nothing more than that.
"How's tour doing, Ghost?" My brothers voice asked.
It had become a usual phone call, middle of the night - when there was usually no one around to hear our conversations.
"Its going pretty good." I replied.
I was sitting on the side of the hotel room bed, Lauren was getting dressed again in front of me.
"Any interesting shit happen yet?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you, Cade."
Lauren looked over at me, raising an eyebrow, and I shook my head at her.
"You'll have to catch me up when you're back in town man."
"Yeah sure." I said, although I wasn't intending on keeping that promise. He didn't need to know what I had going on currently.
"I gotta get off here, Cade. Later." I said, hanging up the phone. "You could stay, you know. I'm not gonna like expect you to go full force into a relationship if you stay."
She walked over, wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing her lips against mine. "But I might want to if I stay."
"Well would that be so bad?"
She laughed lightly, shaking her head. "I'll see you later, Casper."

We had been here all morning, filming the music video for one of our new songs. And the girls had decided to come with us. And I had become more and more amused at the look I was getting from Lauren.
And I had a feeling I knew what the glare was for. Considering there was a lot of other girls in the music video.
As soon as we took a break, I immediately pulled out my phone - deciding to mess with her a little bit.
Me: you jealous? Cause you
kind of look jealous right now
Laurser: should I be?
Me: no. Cause you know if I
could choose, it'd be you here.
I slid my phone back into my pocket and walked over to where she was sitting. I sat down beside her and looked over. "You don't need to be jealous. Especially because it's you who doesn't want to be anything official."
"Shut up Casper."
"Come on, Lauren." I said, letting out a sigh. I honestly didn't know what she wanted from me at this point.
She's the one who wanted to keep it just sex, yet now I was just filming a damn music video and she was acting all pissy about the fact that I was with other girls in the video.
She looked over at me, leaning over and pressing her lips against mine for a second before pulling back.
