Part Thirteen

“Audrey, I have to borrow you for a minute, Dayna has a surprise for me I guess and she wants me to bring you with me.” Mish said while pulling her off the table.

          “Okay, I am coming, geeze.  I’ll be back later Zac.” They kissed and the two were off to the room to see what Dayna had in store for Mish.

“Which room is Dayna and Ike’s? I really can’t remember.” Audrey said.

‘Audrey is so dazed, probably from lack of oxygen!’ Mish thought. “Don’t be retarded! The top king’s suite, then mine then yours!”

“So which room was that again?” She was being a major blonde!

“Suite 1.” She blurted out.

When they knocked on the door Dayna didn’t hear them right away. She was still in awe of the ring she’d just gotten from Ike. The second time she snapped out of her trance and answered the door. ”Hey are you two ready to party?” Was the only thing that came from Dayna’s lips before the lights went out.

“What the hell is going on?” Mish was a little upset. “Why couldn’t the guys come if we were just gonna party together?”

“Well because we’re not alone. Remember my ideas for my bachelorette party. Well. . . Happy Birthday Hunny!” Just then the lights came on and there were at least ten gorgeous guys there dancing. Obviously strippers. Audrey’s jaw hit the floor. As did Mish’s! “Now do I know how to throw a party girls or what?!” She smiled her devilish smile and started dancing with the guys. Mish joined in as soon as she picked up her jaw. She couldn’t believe that Dayna had time to plan all this.  “Audrey darling are you ever going to join in or are you just going to stand there like a wall flower?” She smiled at Audrey.

“Yea I am. Give me time to get warmed up.” She was shocked Dayna threw this and invited her.

“Yea the way that you get warmed up, it’ll take you a fucking hour and a half!” She grabbed her arm and dragged her across the floor and practically shoved her into David, a blonde hair, blue eyed, built, and gorgeous babe! “Have fun. And not in my laundry basket!”

The three girls partied until 4 in the morning. “Alright guys, thank you oh so much for showing up. I love you all. Check you all back in Michigan.” After the strippers left Dayna added, “I think it’s time we get back to our own boys. But before you go, I have to show you something.” She showed them the rock that Ike gave her. She told them how he gave it to her. They both gushed. “Alright, good night you two. One of you please send my hunny up here. I want to get changed before he gets up here.”

“Hey after tonight, no problem!” Mish smiled.

“Yea that was fun.” Audrey was still in shock.

“Anytime. Ike, hey hun, the party just ended.” Dayna and Ike went in the suite together and the door was closed. Mish and Audrey said their good nights and split.

Audrey went to her room to find Zac already there. “So what did you three do up in there? It sounded like you were getting rowdy.” Zac looked queerly at her.

“We had to celebrate Mish’s birthday, that’s all.” Those two went to sleep, we think, we are not sure till this day, but whatever. Mish was heading back to the little garden Dayna had gotten proposed in. She saw how beautiful it really was. She wished something like that would happen to her, but Taylor just isn’t like that. Then she thought about Jim. When she saw him on stage, he was gorgeous. She wanted to get to know him, but at the same time keep Taylor from knowing. She had thoughts going through her head that she knew she shouldn’t be having. She doesn’t want to break up with Tay, but she wants Jim. She will just have to play it out and see what happens. “It’s beautiful out here isn’t it?” Mish jumped, Tay was right behind her. He sat down behind her, wrapped his arms around her and lightly kissed her cheek. She didn’t want to ruin the moment so she just sat there with him all night.

The tour continued and it was starting to wind down. Everything was going great. Audrey and Zac were happily making out all the time, Tay and Mish were like always, and Dayna and Ike were going to get married in four months. They just finished the show in Idaho and now were heading to their last show in Florida. This is where Mish would get to meet Jim again and she was quit nervous. “Oh my god, look at this place. I don’t think we can even get through here.” Ike glanced out the tinted window of their bus.

“It’s our last show, everyone wanted to be here.” Zac commented.

“Well, lets go, I hear we have some visitors waiting back stage for us.” Dayna winked at Mish. They finally got through to back stage and there was Jim.

“Hey Jim!” Mish gave him a hug.

“Thank you so much for letting me come here, this is so awesome.” He smiled at her.

“No problem, you deserved it.” She returned the smile.

“Hey Mish, I have to talk to you about a call I got a few days back. I didn’t want to talk to you about before because I wasn’t sure if we should. Now I know we have to.”

“Dayna stop talking in riddles! What are you talking about?” Mish was getting pissed because Dayna interrupted her and Jim.

“Well, remember when Ike purposed to me the second time?”

“Yea, we were in New York . . . and you . . . oh my god! No way. How did you manage this - I can’t - I love you!” She hugged Dayna. She didn’t care how, or when she planned this but it was the best!”

“We leave for New York, the six of us, in two days.” Dayna beamed.

“Are you serious, do the guys know about this?”

“Nope. But their manager does, so does Walker and Mom.”

“Alright.” Mish was excited and worried. She didn’t want anyone knowing about her feelings about Jim.

“I have to go tell the guys now. So I will catch ya on the flip side!” Dayna was bouncing away. Extremely happy that everything was going great between all of them. Little did she know what was about to go down; in less than 24 hours, all of their lives would change.

Dayna found the guys tuning their instruments for the concert. Dayna just sat there in the doorway watching Ike. His back was towards her so she couldn’t see his face. Zac was the first to notice she was standing in the doorway. But she was off in her own world thinking about what was going to happen in little over 6 months. Her and Ike were going to be married. They’d be happy together she could feel it every time that she looked at the ring he gave her. He was gentle, and so romantic. It was her perfect dream guy, come to life. She smiled. She wondered if he wanted children. She didn’t, not now anyway. But if he wanted, she knew she’d reconsider. But right now she just wanted to dance in the tours, and be with Ike.

She noticed Zac pointing at her. She straightened up and beamed before Ike turned around. “Well, well, well, what have we here?”

“Well, hello to you too!” Ike hugged her.

“Hi guys.” Dayna was talking to everyone else in the room and no one in particular. Their replies fell on deaf ears. Ike was whispering something to her that made her giggle. “Well,” she said breaking away from Ike, “I have sort of a surprise for you guys.”

“What?” Zac asked. “And for whom?”

“We are going to New York City in two days! Mish and me have an interview on MTV!” With this news Ike hugged her, but looked upset. “What’s wrong?”

“I just thought that after the tour was over me and you could get some down time together. But hey I am psyched that you got an interview.”

“Oops, almost forgot! Your coming!”

“Huh?!?”

“Yea, all of you are coming!” They all looked dumbfounded. “What?!?”

“You can’t just decide that for us. What if our manager has something else planned?” Ike looked torn between the 2 things he loved; music and Dayna.

“Or our parents for that matter.” Taylor added in. “Although I really want to go back to New York.”

“Yea, me too, but they are right Dayna.” Zac blurted out.

“Don’t worry I already talked to both, your parents and manager. They all said it would be cool. And you need a vacation!” She was satisfied.

“Alright, we’re going to New York!” The all said in unison. ‘Perfect harmony’ Dayna thought as she left the room so they could finish. She went to find Audrey. When she found her she was shocked to see what she had found. Audrey was sitting in the luggage compartment of the bus crying.

          “Audrey, what’s wrong with you?” Dayna climbed in next to her.

          “Nothing, don’t worry about it.” Audrey was sniffling.

          “Bull- what’s wrong with you?”

          “It’s Zac.”

          “Okay.”

          “It’s just that I really like him but he’s never asked me out yet and I am worried that he really doesn’t like me.” The tears began flowing from her eyes again.

          “Just chill, chica! He does like you. A lot! I know he does. He told Mish and me. He’s just sacred of rejection. Come on lets get you into make up so you’ll look all pretty for the concert. We’ve gotta change into our costumes too! ”

          “Alright.” They climbed out of the bus together and got some pretty funky looks from everyone around them.

          “By the way, we’re going to  New York in a few days.” Dayna looked at Aud.

          She smiled, “Always wanted to go there!”

          They did the concert there and then Mish spent the rest of the day with Jim. They had a lot of fun together too. She was developing a very serious crush on him. In the back of her head she remembered Taylor so she didn’t do anything to jeopardize their relationship. When she got back to the bus she decided to check he e-mail. She received this:

        *This is so cute!!!!!! and it's all true! 
    All those things that they say girls love guys for is true!!! 
(hint) 
(hint)
    *This is really cute guys!  especially the end
    *This chain letter is real we followed the
     instructions and we are going out with our crushes!!
    ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~                    
      
    Sorry, but this chain letter is for real, I got it the first time, 
and I 
ignored it and a week later and
    the love of my life for 6-months dumped me for no good reason so 
beware, 
and just send the stupid letter!!!!!!
    
    The Lovers of the Heart
    In order to form a more perfect kiss, enable the mighty hug to 
promote to 
whom we please but one kiss.
    
    Article 1 : Statement of Love: The Kiss

    7. Look in your eyes ... kiss me
    8. Playing with your hair... I can't live without you
    9. Hand on your waist... I love you to much to let you go
    Mish read this part and then just left it there because she thought about how Tay always just kissed her on the cheek and maybe that he really only wanted to be friend. In her mind she new it wasn’t true but kind of wanted it to be. Then when she left Taylor read the rest of it.

    Article 2: The Three Steps
    1. Girls: If any guys gets fresh with you, slap him
    2. Guys: If any girl slaps you, her intentions are still good
    3. Guy and Girls: Close your eyes when kissing, it is rude to stare
    
    Article 3: The Commandments
    1.  Thou shall not squeeze to hard.
    2. Thou shall not ask for a kiss, just give one or take one.
    3. Thou shall kiss at every opportunity.
    
    **Remember**
    A peach is a peach
    A plum is a plum,
    A kiss isn't a kiss without some tongue 
    so open up your mouth,
    close your eyes,
    and give your tongue some exercise!!!
    
    
    WELL here's a few reasons why guys like girls...
    1. They will always smell good even if its just shampoo
    2. The way their heads always find the right spot on our shoulder
    3. How cute they look when they sleep
    4. the ease in which they fit into our arms
    5. the way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in 
the 
world
    6. How cute they are when they eat
    7. The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end makes it 
all 
worth while
    8. because they are always warm even when its minus 30 out side
    9. the way they look good no matter what they wear
    10. the way they fish for compliments even though you both know 
that
    you think she's the most beautiful thing on this earth
    11. How cute they are when they argue
    12. the way her hand always finds yours
    13. the way they smile
    14. the way you feel when you see their name on the call ID after 
you 
just had a big fight
    15. The way she says "lets not fight anymore" even though you know 
that 
an hour later you will be arguing about something
    16. the way they kiss when you do something nice for them
    17. The way they kiss you when you say "I love you'
    18. Actually ... just the way they kiss you...
    19. the way they fall into your arms when they cry
    20. then the way they apologize for crying over something that 
silly
    21. The way they hit you and expect it to hurt
    22. Then the way they apologize when it does hurt . (even though we 
don't 
admit it)!
    23. the way they say "I miss you"
    24. the way you miss them
    25. the way their tears make you want to change the world so that 
it 
doesn't hurt her anymore.....Yet regardless if you love them, hate 
them, wish 
they would die or know that you would die without them ... it matters 
not.  
Because
    once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become 
everything 
to you. When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths
    of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a 
sound,you 
know that your own life is inevitable consumed within the rhythmic 
beatings 
of her very heart.  We love them for a million reasons, No paper would 
do it 
justice. It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart.

Tay read this and he realized that it was almost all true. He loved her with all his heart. He smiled and left it the way it was. Mish then beckoned him to come out and go for a walk with her.

“Taylor, I really have something important to tell you. Don’t say anything until I have finished talking.” She was getting worked up, “I think for now it would be best if we took a break from each other. I love you with all my heart, but right now I have someone else on my mind. I just need a new face to be with and have other experiences in my life. I am not saying that I never want to go out with you again, just not right now.” She looked at him with hope that he wouldn’t be to destroyed. He just looked at her like she was kidding, or hoping that this was all a joke. I wasn’t though.

“Michelle, what about all that we have, you want to give it up for some other guy. I love you so much, I don’t want anyone else but you. Please, don’t do this to me.” He was practically begging her not to do this.

“I am so sorry, but I got to follow my heart. I love you and don’t forget that.” She kissed him on the cheek and went back to the bus. She held in her tears because she didn’t want the others to know. Tay just sat there in a state of shock. He wanted to cry, but he didn’t want other people to know what just happened. He went back to the bus and pretended that nothing happened as well.

“Hey Tay, what did ya two do out there?” Zac asked.

“Oh nothing.” Tay responded like he was thinking about something else. Zac could tell something was up, but he wasn’t too sure what it was right this second.       

When they arrived in New York, the fans and reporters were all over. They wanted to know what was going on with Zac and Audrey, Taylor and Michelle, and especially what was up with Dayna and Ike. None of them answered any questions. They would save it for MTV. They stayed at the Sheraton Hotel; it was close to MTV so they could have easier access.

“Which suite do you guys want?” Dayna was asking Audrey and Zac, it was there turn to choose which suite they wanted.

“Umm . . .Zac it’s up to you!” Audrey really didn’t care anymore.

“Well, I say the smallest one. We’re not gonna be in it anyway.” He smiled as he thought of the conveniently placed laundry basket.

“Alright, Ike and I will take the top floor one.” Dayna stated. She loved having the highest room.

“Ok. The top floor is a two bedroom isn’t it?” Mish really didn’t want to sleep with Taylor it would just be odd.

“No the middle one is, if you want to have the top room that’s cool.” Ike was just stating the obvious.

“No, I know you want the top.” Taylor said. He didn’t want to sleep with Mish either.

They all went their own ways.  Dayna and Ike started to have a feeling that something was wrong with Taylor and Mish.  Neither one said anything though. Tay got in the room first but Mish was right behind him.

“So which bed do you want?” Mish asked uncomfortably.

“It doesn’t really matter to me, but I’ll take this one I guess.” He answered.

“Alright, so wanna do anything or what?” She tried to make a smile.

“Wanna watch TV?” He tried to sound normal, yeah normal.

“Alright.” So they just watch TV and didn’t talk to each other for the rest of the night.

Audrey and Zac were in their suite, well not for long. They managed to find a conveniently placed laundry basket and they made out like usual.

“Zac, are we like, a couple or what?” Audrey asked in the middle of face-fuck 40.

“I don’t know, I like you but, I’m not sure if I am ready for that kind of commitment.” Zac just wanted that question to be deleted.

“Well than we just make out all the time and that’s it?” She seemed a little disappointed.

“Well I want to be friends for sure.” He hoped she understands.

“Than lets get some sleep so we are awake for their interview tomorrow.” She kinda understood, so she just decided friends are good enough for her. They went back to their room and went to sleep.
