Jake's conversation with Jinxx (continued)
"Jinxx, it's okay. Jinxx, the band will react, not badly because they love you and accept you for you, I'll leave you to think about it, when you're ready I'll be here. Does Sammi know?" Jake asked. "Yeah Sammi knows, I think I'm ready Jake, I have nothing to fear." Jinxx stood proudly and walked through to the front of the bus.

Jake and I watched as Jinxx stood at the front of the bus. "I don't know how you're going to take this..." Jinxx began. I couldn't help but watching Ashley, he seemed to be acting strangely. Ashley was quiet and seemed to be in his own world. I tapped Jake's shoulder and subtly pointed towards Ashley. Jake must've known something that nobody else knew, that thing Ashley told him when he thought the rest of the bus was sleeping, I passed out. I zoned back into Jinxx's confession. "Um, er, um, well, I'm erm... I'm gay and have been for a while, that's the reason Sammi and I got a divorce. I haven't told my parents or brother yet." Jinxx hung his head as he began to go red. I felt proud. Ashley was now looking out the window, I could see his reflection, showing the smile of relief but also a worrying look. That left me with the question, is Ash hiding something, if so what? "Jinxx, you know that we won't scream at you, unless you pull a prank like CC and fill all the water bottles with vinegar. I'm glad you told us none the less." Andy smiled hugging a shy Jinxx. I smiled, he's so innocent and sweet. CC opened up his arms, inviting Jinxx to hug him and Lauren. Jensen and Marley continued to be nerds and take no notice of anything going on around them. I was so disappointed in them. Ashley jumped up and ran towards me. "Mia, can we please talk?" He asked dragging me behind him...
