If We Cut Out The Bad Well Then We'd Have Nothing Left

I was already up and making breakfast when Jared walked into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around my waist.

“Good Morning.” He said, kissing me on the cheek. He was in a good mood because finally, I had opened up to him and been honest about my feelings rather than keeping them to myself. Plus the sex probably brightened him up to!

“Morning.” Said Shannon, joining us in the kitchen.

“Good morning.” Said Jared. He was over enthusiastic so Shannon assumed something straight away.

“So the pair of you finally got your freak on?!” When Shannon said this Jared turn a shade of scarlet and I started to laugh. Jared was hardly ever embarrassed and the fact he was made me laugh even more. Yes, I do have a cruel sense of humour!

“Do you want any breakfast?” I asked Shannon.

“Yeah please and also could you do me a favour?” Shannon replied.

“Sure, depends what it is though.”

“Well you know Bob?” I searched my head, hmmm Bob, who do I know called Bob.

“Bryar?” I said finally.

“Yeah.” Shannon paused, then said quietly:

“He fancies Meg.” I screamed. How long I had wanted to try and set these two up and Meg had never let me but now I knew that Bob liked her back I just had too!

“Calm down woman.” Said Shannon. He knew that I loved pairing people off and I was getting quite good at it!

“On another note.” Interjected Jared “We’re going on tour next week.”

My jaw dropped. I instantly went from a great to dreadful mood.

I turned to him and yelled

“AND WHEN THE FUCK WERE YOU PLANNING ON TELLING ME THIS?”  Jared looked taken aback; I didn’t usually get angry with him so when I did he always seemed surprised.

“Well I was going to tell you sooner but you’ve been avoiding me so I couldn’t.”

“Shit!” I replied. Great, Jared and I were just getting back on track and then he has to fuck off on tour.

“For how long?” I asked.

“A month.” My heart sank and I thought to myself how much I’d really miss him. I wish I could tell him, tell him to stay, tell him I don’t want him to go. I can’t do that though, his fans want to see him too, I can’t be selfish and keep him all to myself. Unfortunately!

“I’m going to miss you so much.” Said Jared.

“Oh God, I’m leaving the room if you’re going to get all soppy and romantic in here!” Said Shannon.

Jared and I feigned a smile, knowing Shannon was trying to cheer us both up, then Jared put his arm around my waist again and brought me close towards him.

“I love you so much.” He said looking deep into my eyes.

I swear a part of me was about to say something back to him. Was I going to say the words he longed to hear? Thoughts rushed through my mind. Do I love Jared now?

“So are you going to finish breakfast or what?” said Shannon cheekily and interrupting my thoughts.

“Yeah sure.” I responded and continued to cook.
