I Wanna Be the One Who Takes the Pain, chapter 3
"Hey John it's.."
"John is busy at the moment may I take a message"
"Uhh... no that's fine I'll call back later" as Jess went to hang up the phone she heard him asking who was on the other line but she just clicked down the receiver.
'I, I can't believe this, who, why, he's fucking cheating on me, that fucking bastard and he thinks were getting together tonight that stupid fuck!'
"Hey Jess what's wrong?" I heard Ian's calm voice coming from the door way
"I, I think John is, uh, I think he's messing around behind my back with that blonde whore he hangs out with"
"What makes you think that?" Ian came over and sat beside Jessica on the bunk.
"I called his place and some chick answered and... "
"Will maybe she was just visiting"
"Yah your right could be" Jess said as she drifted in thought slightly.
"Well we are heading out for lunch, are you still coming we can pick up John and I'm sure it was nothing he knows he seeing you today he wouldn't be stupid enough to cheat on you when your in the same city"
"Sure I'm gonna come. I'll be right out"
Ian left the room and Jess grabbed her jacket, phone and wallet and headed out to meet the guys in the van they'd be traveling around the city in.
Jess opened the van door and saw all the seats had been occupied.
"Hey your up here with me babe" Tre spoke from the drivers seat
"Ha ha your driving oh and I get to be the one who dies when we crash," she mocked as she crawled in the passenger seat.
"Hey I have you know I am a excellent driver, thank you very much"
"Sure, sure... where's John going to sit?"
"How bout the floor" Evan yelled from the back
"Who's John?" Tre asked
"He's my boyfriend we are picking him up on the way to the restaurant"
"Oh" was all Tre answered with as he pulled out onto the highway and started following your directions on how to get to John's house.
*Knock, Knock*
"Jessica baby!" John pulled Jessica towards him and gave her a warming hug.
"Hey, we are going out for lunch, do you still want to come?"
"Of course I will be right back"
"Ok, I'll be out at the van"
John went back inside the house, put a new shirt on and some cologne to cover up what he just had done to hide it from Jessica and he headed out to the van.
"Ok I'm ready"
"Here your up front there's no room so I'm stuck on the floor"
"Oh no problem"
John got in the front seat as Jess took her place between the two front seats on the floor.
'What the hell he's her boyfriend and he is letting her sit on the floor without suggesting that he does what a ass I don't like this fucker at all, Jess can do better, no respect, well I guess I can't say much I am betting on her, but well I guess I lost.. Unless she ditches the dick' Tre thought as he drove off and headed for a close by place called jackassters for a bite to eat.
"Can you pass the ketchup please?" you asked Tre
"What do I get in return?" he implied
"I don't know... what ever you want, how bought the salt?" you reach down and exchange the salt for the ketchup with Tre.
"Ah that's just what I needed, that you, you really know how to please a man" Tre smirked and winked at you.
"Ha ha yah sure I do" you joked at you winked back
" Tre dove into his fries bringing them above his mouth and lowering them in with his hand. You were about to take a bit of your own when you noticed this display and busted out with laugher bringing stares to you from everyone else.
"What is so funny?' Evan asked
You realized your outburst and looked down at your plate and picked up some fries and put them into your mouth to concentrate on something other then Tre.
"So first show tomorrow can't wait, your either going to be amazed or scared by Jess's stage antics"
"Oh do you strip down naked?"
"Me, no never" you smirk
"Well that's disappointing to hear guess I will just have to imagine it" Tre implied.
"Ok I'll leave you to that" you look back down at your fries and begin to eat some more when john grab a-hold of your arm
"Can I speak to you outside for a moment please?"
"Sure, be right back guys" you say as john pulls you outside
"What the hell is all that?"
"Is what?"
"You all over that rock star dick?!"
"What! I am not"
"Yes you were"
"We were joking around a bit yes, I'm not all over him, and I don't even know him"
"Oh so your fucking some guy you don't even know, so my girlfriend is a slut oh great"
"I am not fucking anyone! How could you say that I have never cheated on you or on any past boyfriends of mine. You have no right to say that about me"
"Sure, sure you're probably going at it with the lot of them"
"I can not believe you. Your being such a jackass you know that"
"Well if you weren't sleeping around with oth-"
"I am not I told you that! For one I have known Matt, Evan and Ian all my life and you know nothing will ever happen like that, and if you're saying I'm sleeping around with Billie Joe, Mike or Tre. Billie Joe is married with kids, and Mike has a girlfriend"
"Oh and Tre is single though"
"So what if he is like I said I just met him I'm not going to go around with someone I just met" you pulled you forgotten arm from John's grip and stormed back inside the restaurant. You took your place at the table in a huff and dug at your now cold plate of fries.
"What was that all about?" Matt whispered.
"Did you hear any of it?" you whispered back.
"No but by the looks of it, it wasn't good"
"No, no it wasn't good" you sighed
"What happened to your arm?" Tre asked as he sat down in John's place
"What? Oh it's nothing really" you looked down at you arm now realizing it was numb and red.
"It doesn't look like nothing to me," Tre pressed
"It is, John and I just got in a fight and he didn't notice and I didn't notice he was even holding onto it. Don't worry about it, he's not abusive and has never hit me, and if he even did I would dump him just like that, ok?" you replied
"Whatever you say," Tre responded as he got out of John's place and went back to his own as John reentered the restaurant.
"Listen I'm sorry" John whispered into your ear
"Uh huh" you barley acknowledged his apology
"I really am I didn't mean any of it I guess I got a bit jealous, I was being stupid I know that please forgive me?" John said leaning closer
"I guess, I can forgive you" with your answer John leaned in and kissed your cheek.
The waitress came over a few moments later and placed the check on the table.
"I'll pay for it, I'm feeling generous" Billie Joe spoke up as he pulled out his wallet.
"No you really don-"
"No I want to, I'm loaded and its nice to spend money so I will" Billie Joe interrupted you.
You all headed out to the van and went to pile in Mike driving this time.
"You can have my seat I'll take the floor," Tre said to you as you went to sit down
"No its ok I'm fine down here"
"No I insist you're a light weight you might fly out a window if Mike crashes with his horrible driving skills" he implied
"Ok thank you," you replied as you took his seat and he sat down in front of you cross-legged.
"Do you mind if I lean on your legs?" he asked
"Go ahead" you, respond as Tre leans back against you, tilting his head back to rest on your knee.
'This is nice I could get use to being this close to her' Tre thought as he closed his eyes and relaxed for the ride back to the buses.
"John is busy at the moment may I take a message"
"Uhh... no that's fine I'll call back later" as Jess went to hang up the phone she heard him asking who was on the other line but she just clicked down the receiver.
