Novocaine Hearts

Lexa's POV

I had the most amazing night with Jake. I never wanted it to end, but unfortunately it had to. He walked me to Juliet's room and kissed me goodnight.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" He whispered, his forehead against mine.
"Okay. Come see our set?" I said quietly.
"Can't wait" he said, quickly kissing me and again and leaving me a Juliet's door.
I smiled as I watched him walk down the hall, into his own room. I sighed and knocked on Juliet's door.
Juliet answered with a huge smile on her face.
"How was your date?" She asked sweetly.
I sighed again. "Amazing! I didn't want it to end!"
"That good aye?" She smirked and winked.
"No.. It was just... Umm, you wouldn't get it" I mumbled, pushing away the thought.
"No! Tell me!" She urged.
I huffed. "You sure you wanna know? Your gonna judge me and think I'm sad" I warned.
Juliet just rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Jake is the first guy to ever take me on a proper date without the expectation of sex. I've always been the girl that gives it up cause I don't give a fuck."
Juliet looked confused.
"So... you've never let a guy wait? Or you've always teased them...?" She said, not sure if she was asking.
"Look, I don't need to tell you my life story, but to put it short, I'm a slut. I can't hold relationships cause I have issues. I had no interest in keeping relationships or I didn't even know I was in one. Either way you look at it, it would have been a fuck buddy of a sort. I had no control over my life for a long time. Now I do. I want this to be different. I made a mistake when I tried to get with Jake a few weeks ago, but I'm kinda glad we didn't. I'm just looking to start over" I shrugged as I plopped down on her bed.
"Well... you know Jake will never push you into anything" she said sitting next to me.
"I know that. I'm scared I'll push him into something. He's probably one of the most genuine people I've ever met."
"It's okay. He won't let you screw it up. He likes you. He's been suffering for so long. Ella really put him through hell."
"Well, if you think we'll be fine, then we will be" I sighed and pulled my phone from my bag. "Fuck, it's nearly 12! I need to get back. Here" I said pulling off Juliet's top and grabbing mine from the floor. I saw my shoes next to it and realised I was still wearing Riley's shoes. "Oh, I'll leave Riley's shoes with you too" I said kicking them off. "Tell her thanks."
"Sure."
I slipped on my own shoes and left her room. I wondered down the hall to the elevators.
As I waited I played with my phone, checking Facebook updates. I heard the elevator ding and mindlessly walked in, not noticing the person walking out.
"Hey watch it!" A girl shrieked.
"Oww, sorry" I said as I collided with the person. I looked up and it was Riley.
She looked guilty as she picked up her dropped items.
"You didn't see me" she said poking a finger in my face and then started to walk away.
"Hey, wait!" I called as I rushed up to her. "What are those?" I questioned, looking at the orange pill bottle.
"None of your business" she shot.
"Are those cigarettes?" I said looking at her other hand.
"Again. None of your business."
"Is that why you were asking me about drugs? You don't want affects to shine through? Trying to hide this from Ashley?" I said, almost taunting her.
"Wow. You think you know me. Just leave me alone!" She spat through her teeth and rushed down the hall.
I shrugged and walked into the elevator. Someone obviously didn't want to shared her problems.
I made my way back to my room, in hope that my band mates didn't ask too many questions. I silently entered our room and all the lights were off. Everyone had gone to bed.
For once it was going my way.

The next day we continued on the Warped Tour. None of my band mates questioned me about last night and I was happy to keep it that way.
After our set I spotted Jake and Ashley side stage.
I put my guitar away and ran up to Jake and kissed him.
"Aren't you sick of our set by now?" I said, my lips still inches from his.
"Nope" he said, leaning in an kissing me again.
"Hey Ash. Hi Lex, how are you? I'm good. Stop fucking making out!" Ashley said sarcastically.
I pulled away from Jake and acknowledged his presence. "Hello Ashley. How are you?" I said being overly nice.
"Fucking shit" he smirked.
"Why? Is is cause your wife is keeping secrets?" I questioned.
Both Ashley and Jake looked at me with confusion.
"I was being sarcastic... I hope you are too" Ashley said nervously.
"Nahh. Caught her sneaking back into her room last night. She had some medication with her" I said with concern
"Was she okay?" Jake chimed in.
"I'm not sure. I just wanted to give her the chance to explain herself since she wouldn't to me" I shrugged.
Ashley still looked confused by our conversation, so he left us awkwardly, probably to find Riley.
"Why'd you do that?" Jake asked.
"What?"
"You completely ratted Riley out. If she was doing anything you know how much tension it's going to cause on the bus?"
"I thought Ashley should know. Especially id she needs help."
"Either way, it's another drama. Tip for next time; don't say anything."

Notes

Please comment....
I'm debating deleting this altogether. It's really hard to write with lack of response. I want to continue this story and see where it takes me, but its actually really hard. I'm starting work soon, so the updates will be far apart... depending.
Just, yeah, some feedback would be great right now.
