Chapter 3:
Another day is going by…
I’m thinking about you all the time…
But you’re out there, and I’m here waiting.
-Simple Plan
Billy’s Pov
I watch him as he sleeps. I’ve never really taken the time to appreciate the rare beauty that he has. His lip rings shimmer in the morning light that is filtering through the window next to my bunk. His usually spiked black hair has wilted and some of it sticks to the side of his head, his bangs hanging in front of his pale and makeup less face.
He shifts and starts to yawn as I watch. His dark eyes flutter open, still fuzzy from sleep. He looks around, not sure why he was in bed with me. When he finally remembers what he was doing in my bunk, he smiles that incredible smile at me.
“Good morning sleepy head.” I smile, enjoying waking up next to him even more than I had with Matt.
“Morning. What time is it?” He asks looking for his watch.
“10:30”
“Ah. Where are the others?”
“They went to go get breakfast. Said they wouldn’t be back, that they’d just meet us at sound check. So we pretty much have the whole morning to ourselves.” He shifts nervously around, keeping a little distance between us.
“You okay Benj?” I ask, my brow furrowing in confusion.
“Uhh…yeah.” He refuses to make eye contact with me.
“Is there something wrong?” I watch him closely as he violently shakes his head.
“N…no. Why would you think that?” His voice hitches and I know that he’s lying.
“Its just seems like I make you uncomfortable.” He sighs then looks directly at me.
“Because…”
“Because what Benji?”
“Because, I just don’t want to get hurt.” He gets up then, and I watch as he gets dressed. He doesn’t even look at me as he walks off the bus.
I sit there alone, still watching the area where he was standing. I feel the tears in my eyes but don’t understand why. I understand even less of what he ment when he’d said he didn’t want to be hurt.
*~~***~~*
You don’t remember me…
But I remember you…
I lie awake and try not to think of you.

Benji’s Pov
I walk around the unfamiliar surroundings, in a general direction away from the bus and Billy. I feel guilty for walking out on him but I had to get away before I did or said something stupid.
I come upon a small park a couple of blocks away from the venue where we’d be performing later on tonight. A swing set catches my attention, and I find myself heading towards it.
I sit down on one, kicking off into a slow swing, enjoying the feeling of the wind blowing gently by my face and through my hair. I get tired of it quickly though and stop. I sit there and my thoughts invade the space, taking the happy me time and replacing it with confused emotions.
“Hey.” I look up and see my brother. His hands are in his jacket pockets and his cheeks are red from the cold.
“Hey yourself.”
“I was looking for you.”
“Oh?”
He looks at the empty swing next to me and at my nod, sits down on it.
“Remember the last time that you’d run away from home in high school, and nobody thought to look for you at the park but me?” when I just smile at him he continues.
“Billy said that you’d left.” He swings for a few moments and it seems as if he was thinking of what he’d say next.
“Why?”
“Why what Joel?”
“Why’d you run?”
“I had to get away for awhile. And some things aren’t meant to be discussed.”
“You can tell me, I wouldn’t judge.” I sigh at this, wondering if I really should tell him.
“I know that you like him.” I look over at him but he continues to look away.
“I mean, its written all over you.” I smile then, knowing that it would be useless to hide anything form him, he’d just figure it out anyway.
“Yeah, and right now I have to stay away from him. He’s really sensitive right now, what with breaking up with Matt.”
“No Benji. That’s not the whole reason, you and I both know it.”
“Fine, I’m not willing to be a rebound.”
