A New Day Is Coming, And I Am Finally Free

A few hours later:

They’re on their way to another town now.

It’s four in the morning, and everyone’s asleep.

Suddenly Gabrielle wakes up to grunting noises and then a loud thump.

She quickly opens the curtains to find Emily sitting on the sofa with her cell phone in her hand.

“M, what’s the matter?” Gabrielle asks her as she now easily gets out of the bunk trying not to wake Jared.

“It’s this damn un-known number! Who ever it is is still calling. I pick it up, but then there’s no one there, it’s so annoying!” Emily whispers loudly shaking her phone.

“Here, let me see” Gabrielle says now holding out her hand.

Emily hands her the phone, and then Gabrielle starts looking through her calls for the number.

“Hummmm, I don’t this number, and neither do you, right?” Gabrielle then says.

“Yes, no clue!” Emily says.

“Humm” Gabrielle says again,

Then suddenly the phone rings again.

Gabrielle at once picks it up.

“Hello?” she says.

No answer.

“Who is this?”

No answer.

“I said, who is this?!”

Still no answer.

“HELLO!”

The line suddenly goes dead.

“Well?” Emily asks now shaking.

“Give me a minute” Gabrielle says now pulling up the number and then dialing it.

Meanwhile, the guys are now awake from Gabrielle yelling.

“What the hell’s the matter?” Shannon asks rubbing his eyes.

“Someone’s calling Emily and they don’t talk but stay on the line for a few minutes” Gabrielle says still on the phone.

The phone now picks up, and then Gabrielle yells at the top of her voice, “LISTEN YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU STOP CALLING THIS NUMBER RIGHT NOW OR YOUR SORRY ASS WILL BE TURNED INTO THE POLICE!”

“But didn’t you do that already?” A familiar voice now says softly.

Oh. Shit.

A few weeks have gone by, and the tours almost over.

“So what do you think about this one?” Gabrielle asks Jared as they go through papers of houses.

“Nah, looks kinda tiny, I mean the outside looks big but check out the rooms” Jared says now flipping over the paper.

“Yeah your right. Hum, maybe a town house isn’t a good idea” Gabrielle says now making a face.

“Well now wait a minute, lets look at this one” Jared says now getting another paper that’s on the top of the pile.

Then Shannon and Emily walk in the bus after a date from a café.

“You two still are looking for houses?” Shannon says now sitting down next to them on the sofa.

“Yeah” the two both say.

“You were looking about three hours ago!” Emily says.

“Well, so far some are just…” Gabrielle begins to say.

“Small” Jared then cuts in.

“Stuffy looking”

“In a bad neighborhood”

“Or dirty looking”

Shannon and Emily then give each other looks.

“Why don’t you try somewhere in, oh I donno, England?!” Shannon then says.

“Oh haha” Jared says sarcastically.

“Oh come on guys, you’ve been looking for weeks! Me and Shan found our house within a week” Emily says now grabbing a soda from the fridge.

“Yeah well that’s because…” Gabrielle says, now suddenly stopping in mid sentence.

“Wait, your and Shan’s house?” Jared asks.

“Well, yeah, didn’t we tell you guys?” Shannon says.

“Ah, no” Gabrielle says now in shock.

“Hehe oops! Yeah, Shan asked me to move in with him and we looked for a house and found one in the suburbs, nice little house” Emily says now hugging Shannon.

“That’s great hun!” Gabrielle says now hugging Emily.

“So when are you guys moving in?” Jared asks Shannon.

“Well after the tour of course. I think we set the date for the week after we get done…?” Shannon says now looking at Emily.

“Yep, third week of next month” Emily says smiling.

“Cool” Gabrielle says smiling.

Tomo then comes in and says it’s about time to get over to the arena to get ready for the show.

The guy’s leave, and the girls set in to watch tv.

“You know, I was just thinking, we’re pretty much going to separate when the tour ends” Gabrielle says.

“Yeah… well, maybe you guys could find a house next to us, or in the same neighborhood or something” Emily says.

“Yeah, a know, I’m gonna talk to Jared about that when he gets back” Gabrielle says now feeling better.

Suddenly Emily gets a phone call on her cell.

“Ah no not again” Emily says now checking her phone.

“What’s up?” Gabrielle asks.

“I donno, I’ve been getting an un-known number all day now” Emily says.

“Hum, that’s weird” Gabrielle says now looking the phone.

“And annoying” Emily says grimly. “Hope it doesn’t keep up”

“Yeah. Wonder who it is?” Gabrielle says now a bit worried for some reason.

Jared bursts into the bus to find Emily curled up on the sofa in fear while Gabrielle is standing over a terrified Edward wrenching in pain on the floor.

“What the hell happened?!” Jared asks in shock.

“Son of a bitch tried to jump me!” Gabrielle yells kicking Edward on the side.

“Ouch! I told you I just wanted to talk!” Edward cries in pain.

“With rapping your arms around me in a bear hug?!” Gabrielle roars.

“Yeah, to try and stop you from bashing me I the head with a vase!” Edward says now holding his head.

“Oh stop it you pussy!” Gabriele now says shaking her head at him.

By now Shannon and Tomo come running in.

“What the hell?” Tomo says in shock.

“Gab?” Shannon says now looking at Gabrielle.

“What, why is everyone looking at me weird? Didn’t you ever see a girl defend herself?” Gabrielle asks.

“Defend yourself? What did you do?!” Shannon says now walking over to Edward.

“Stop Shan, she took care of it, as we can all she” Jared says now looking at the pitiful Edward still shaking in pain on the floor.

“Yeah, and he deserves it” Tomo says.

“Now wait a minute” Edward says now trying to get up.

“Get up and you’ll never walk again” Jared says now in a very angry tone.

Edward then plops back down, and then says in a shaking voice, “Look, I just came here to talk with Gabrielle. I, I was let in by the bus driver. She then fly’s in and grabs a vase and comes at me with it!”

“Well first off, you don’t just pop in and wait in a dark bus. Second, your not supposed to be here. Third, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE?!” Gabrielle demands.

“I told you, I wanted to talk!”

“About what, how I should just drop Jared like a hot potato and go back with you?! After the way you treated me?! Well let me tell you for the last time! Jared is wayyyy better for me and better then you, and you’re a piece of shit. Got it?”

And with that she walks out.

“Oh by the way, your rides here!” she then calls in as red and blue flashing lights suddenly pull up beside the bus.

“She called the cops?!” Edward says in shock.

“Well, you were warned” Jared says now walking out as well.

The cops then walk in and then pick Edward off the floor and, with him kicking and screaming, put him in the back of the car and off they go.

“Well that’s all taken care of now” Shannon says now coming out of the bus with Tomo and Emily.

“Yeah, goodbye birdie” Emily says now with a smile on her face.

They all then head back into the bus.

“I’m so happy it’s over now” Gabrielle says now hugging Jared on the sofa.

“So am I. Maybe now you’ll sleep better” Jared says to her now kissing her on the side of the head.

“By the way Gabs, how did you get him down?” Shannon asks Gabrielle then.

“Oh, Judo lessens for ten years” Gabrielle says with a little giggle.

“You didn’t tell us that!” Tomo says now laughing.

“Well, didn’t think it would matter” Gabrielle says now laughing.

“See Jared she told you she could take care of herself” Shannon says to Jared.

Jared laughs and then hugs Gabrielle tight.

Soon everyone heads to bed. And at last Gabrielle can have a good nights sleep.

Finally, it’s over.

For now…….

The concert’s now over, and the boys are now in the back getting dressed.

Gabrielle and Emily walk in then, and Gabrielle tells Jared what happened.

“Good, now all we need is for him to pop up again, and we’ll be set” Jared says now putting on a new shirt.

“Yeah, and all the towns we’re going to have a bulletin on him” Emily says smiling.

“Good, now it’s country wide man hunt” Shannon joking.

Everyone laughs at that and then as the guys head off to the meet and greet, Gabrielle and Emily head back to the bus.

“Are you sure you don’t want us to walk you back?” Jared asks them.

“Yes yes we’re sure. You guys are late already, so go!” Gabrielle says shooing them away as they reach the back entrance.

The girls then head off and across the parking lot.

Emily then stop dead in her tracks and holds her hand out to stop Gabrielle.

“What?” Gabrielle says now tripping over her feet to stop.

“I think someone’s in there” Emily says now wide eyed.

“Oh it’s just the driver” Gabrielle says waving her hand.

“No, he’s at the gas station filing up the jug, remember? He called us a few minutes ago to say he was going”

Gabrielle now looks at the dark figure in the window.

“Well, we got two things. One, the bus is haunted, or two, we’re in trouble” Gabrielle says now wide eyed as well.

I think we should call the cops” Emily says now grabbing her phone.

“No no, we can’t do that again, we’ll look like a few pardoned dumb damsels in distress” Gabrielle says now pushing down Emily’s hand.

“So what do we do?” Emily asks.

“Go in I guess, and if it is Robert, I’ll kill him, and then you can call the cops” Gabrielle says now angrily and then she storms up to the bus.

“Gab wait!” Emily says now running up behind her.

Meanwhile, the guys are in the mist of a sea of fans wanting their autographs.

“I wonder how Gabs holding up with all of this” Jared whispers to the guys as they sign a few fans posters.

“She’s a strong girl, I’m sure she’s fine” Tomo whispers back.

“Yeah, and besides, she has us to help her and deal with it with her, and she knows it” Shannon says.

“Yeah, your right” Jared says now feeling a bit better.

Suddenly, all three hear screaming coming from the outside.

“Is that from the bus?!” Tomo asks.

“Yeah” Shannon says now going around the table and towards the door, while Tomo fallows.

Jared already bet them to it and is now out the door running to the bus screaming Gabrielle’s name in fear.

“Crap, no darn bars!” Gabrielle mutters to herself.

She then heads off to the dressing room.

“He’s here again, mind of I borrow your phone Shan?” Gabrielle says walking in.

Tomo shakes his head while Shannon heads her his phone.

“Did he fallow you?” Jared asks her darkly.

“I donno, I don’t think so” Gabrielle says.

Jared then looks outside the door looking for him.

“Don’t worry, cops will be here in ten minutes to “straighten it out,” whatever that means” Gabrielle says now hanging up.

“Wow, you actually did call the cops” Emily said in a little bit of surprise.

“Yeah dude, I said I don’t wanna do this anymore, I’m done” Gabrielle says now sitting down next to her.

“Well we better head on stage, you two should meet the cops outside not to cause a stir” Tomo says now grabbing his gaiter.

“Good idea” Emily says now giving Shannon a quick kiss.

“If you need me, just yell” Jared says now giving her a long hard kiss.

Gabrielle smiles and grabs on to Jared tight.

“Yo Jare we gotta go!” Shannon yells now from the hallway.

But just hangs on for a few moments, then slowly lets Gabrielle go.

“Boy can you say a sentence good” Gabrielle says giggling.

Jared laughs and then the two walk out.

A few minutes later, outside the arena:

“We can’t seem to find him miss, and we checked the whole area” A cop says to Gabrielle.

“Hum, bet the bitch ran away when he saw you with the phone” Emily says to Gabrielle.

“Probably” Gabrielle says shaking her head grimly.

“”So how long are you going to be in the area?” the cop then asks Gabrielle.

“Another day, then we head off to another town” Gabrielle says.

“And how many more times will you be moving?”

“For about another month and a half”

“Ok, what I can do is have you give me a list of the other towns you will be at so I can put out an bulletin”

“That well be just fine, let me just get out my blackberry”

Gabrielle then gives the cop a list, and then he says he’ll go to the office and send out a bulletin.

“Thanks a lot for this” Gabrielle says to him as he leaves.

“No problem miss, you take care of yourself” the cop says tipping his hat to her.

As the cop leaves Gabrielle and Emily walk back to the concert.

“Well, now he pretty much did himself in” Gabrielle says to Emily.

“Yep, he’s got all the towns looking for him now” Emily says smugly.

“Now maybe I can sleep tonight!” Gabrielle says now laughing.

Sorry to say though, she was dead wrong…

“He did what?!” Gabrielle said to Jared later that night when he told her what Robert did.

“Now calm down, he just talked. And he looked scared to death all the way through” Jared says now holding his hands up.

“I’m calling the courts tomorrow and telling them now he’s harassing you!” Gabrielle says clenching her fists.

Jared then raps his arms around her, making her calm at once.

“You do what you think what’s right, but just let it go for now. He’s harmless” he says softly.

“I donno” Gabrielle says in his shoulder.

“Trust me, he wont hurt you. I wont let him”

“It’s not you I’m worried about”

Jared smiles at that and then kisses her.

“You know, the guys and M are gonna be still out for a while” he then says slyly

“Oh?” Gabrielle says now smiling.

“Yeah, they all went for pizza. I originally came her to get you, but now….”

“Now I think we need to take a rain-check” Gabrielle finishes his sentence.

“Bingo” Jared says now grinning.

A few days later:

Robert is still hot on the trail with Jared and Gabrielle.

He is at yet another concert, trying to get to Gabrielle again.

Now his new mission is to tell her about his and Jared’s meeting, and how much of an asshole Jared was to him.

He enters the stage area, looking.

He then spies her dark hair tied up hair a ponytail. He then makes his way for her, when suddenly he sees Jared walk over to her.

“Damn” he mutters now backing off.

He wants to talk to her without douche bag near her.

He waits a few minutes, watching,

Then Jared gives Gabrielle a kiss (making his blood boil) and then he goes off around the back while Gabrielle walks over to the seating area and then she takes a seat.

Now’s the time to make his move.

Robert then begins to climb the stairs, advancing towards Gabrielle.

Gabrielle then catches a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye.

“Oh no you don’t” she says to herself, as she slowly takes her cell from her pocket to call the police.

Robert walks by the park for the hundredth time now, still thinking.

He head actually hurts now, thinking.

“Well, if I can’t convince her the he’s shit, maybe I should let him know myself” he says suddenly having a brainstorm.

He then checks his watch.

Still got time to get in the concert.

He then heads off to the arena, now carefully planning out his speech.

At the arena:

Gabrielle and Emily just got in and are now sitting in the back with the guys.

“Ten minutes” a guy comes in to says to them.

“Right, well we better head off to our seats” Emily says now kissing Shannon.

“We’ll see you on stage” Gabrielle says now giving a deep kiss.

Jared smiles and then raps his arms around her.

“Guys, we got only a few minutes till stage…. you understand” Shannon now says teasing Jared and Gabrielle.

They laugh at that then with one last quick kiss, Gabrielle and Emily head off to their seats.

A few minutes later there’s a knock on the door.

“We’re coming we’re coming” Shannon says.

The door then opens and then in walks Robert.

“Sorry for interrupting, but I’m here to see Jared” Robert says softly.

The three of them stand frozen for a moment, then Jared, having a feeling on who it is, then says, “I’m him. Please sit”

Robert nods his head and then sits on the sofa.

“So, how my I help you?” Jared says now sitting on the other side.

Shannon and Tomo then get the idea on who he is, and then Tomo walks and stands in front of the door, while Shannon stands beside Jared, just in case.

Crazy son of a bitch.

“Well, I don’t know if you know who I am. But, I’m Robert….” Robert begins.

“Ah, your Gabriele’s ex boyfriend then” Jared says smiling slightly.

“So you have heard of me?”

“Plenty”

“I see. Well, so I guess you’re her new boyfriend huh?”

“Yep”

“So….”

“So, what? You’re checking up to see if I’m treating her right or something?”

“Um no. I just, wanted to meet you. You know, your pretty famous and it’s hard to believe that little quite Gabrielle even had the nerve to talk to you”

“Yes well she did a pretty good job. Warmed up to me right away really”

Shannon then gives Jared a look, remembering the nightmare that was when those two first meant.

Jared waves his hand at that and smiles.

“Oh well that’s good” Robert says now hanging his head a little.

“So is this all, cause I have a show to do probably now” Jared says now standing.

“Oh, yeah” Robert says now getting up to.

“Well it was nice meeting you Robert, stop by again soon, maybe about an hour before show time next time huh?” Jared says laughing as he holds out his hand.

Robert fakes a laugh and then shakes Jared’s hand.

Then as Robert takes his leave, the guys go off to the stage.

Robert now finds himself outside of the arena, knowing that if he even shows his face at Gabrielle again she’ll call the cops.

“Asshole. I’ll show him. She’s wayyyyy better off with me. Smart ass mother…” Robert now rambles off as he takes out a cigarette and then goes sulking back to his hotel .

“Robert! What the hell?!” Gabrielle yells as she pulls herself away from Robert and then backing up against the wall.

“What the hell is right! What is this?!” Robert says now pulling out the court order.

“Something you better fallow and now, or your ass will go to jail!” Gabrielle says.

“But I don’t understand, why would you do something like this?” he asks now in a soft voice.

“Because your obsessed! I can’t go anywhere with out you up my ass, now I’ve been watching it for weeks, stop it! Your getting out of hand with this, it’s over! I’m with Jared now, and that is it!”

“Well I don’t believe that you belong with him! He’s such a douche bag! With all that rock star and eyeliner shit! You need to be with me, a simple, non- asshole man. I’ll treat you like a queen!”

“Yeah, and where have I’ve heard that before?”

“That wasn’t my flat Gabrielle, I told you this. Now please…”

“No Rob, all you told me was that you bitched out when it got tough with daddy. I don’t need a simple man, I need a MAN! Which you are obviously not, but Jared sure as hell is. And by the way, next time you call him what you just did, your gonna lose your fucking head”

And with that, Gabrielle storms off and across the street and out of sight.

Back at the bus:

“Are you kidding me? He actually confronted you?” Emily asks Gabrielle after she finishes her story to her.

“Yeah, and I told him off” Gabrielle says.

“Of course you did, wouldn’t expect you to do anything else”

“Yeah. Should I tell Jared?”

Emily then thinks for a moment.

“Well, I think you should so that way he can be on the look out” she finally answers.

And so, when the guys come in the bus, Gabrielle causally tells Jared about Robert.

“And you would think he would have read the letter carefully” Jared says grimly.

“You should have called the cops right then and there” Tomo says shaking his head.

“I know, but I kinda wanted to give him one more chance to straighten up before I do” Gabrielle says.

“Yeah well, if he does run into you again do it” Jared says now getting his things together for tonight’s show.

“Don’t worry about that” Gabrielle says nodding her head.

Meanwhile back at Robert’s hotel:

“That little bitch!” Robert says angrily as he walks back and froth in his room.

“All the things I did for her, all the things I gave her!”

He then shakes his head and then grabs his coat and heads out.

“I need a walk” he says to himself now heading down the road.

He doesn’t know where he’s going.

And at this point, he doesn’t care.

“A restringing order?” Robert says looking at the paper.

“What the hell for?!” he then yells now rolling up the paper into a ball and then tossing it into the trash.

He then takes out his cell to call Gabrielle for an explanation.

But it just keeps ringing.

“Damn” he says now pushing end.

He then grabs his jacket and then heads off to the arena.

Its still early and he knows she’ll still be on the bus.

It’s about time he has a long talk with her anyway…

Meanwhile, 20 miles away:

Gabrielle and Jared agree that they’re keeping their big moving in news a secret for a while, just for fun.

But it doesn’t mean their not going to drop hits.

“What are you all giggling about?” Emily asks Gabrielle as she hums and giggles as she makes tea for her and Emily.

“I donno, just a nice day I guess” Gabrielle says smiling as she sets two cups down on the table.

Emily squints her eyes at Gabrielle and then takes a sip of her tea.

Jared then comes on the bus with Shannon whining behind him.

“Come on Jared! Your hiding something, now tell!” Shannon demands his brother.

“What’s there to hid? I don’t have anything” Jared says to him slyly.

“Bullshit” Shannon then says simply.

“Come guys we got a show to get ready” Tomo then calls from outside the bus.

“Alright!” Jared calls to him, then he and Shannon walk out.

“Where are you going?” Emily asks Gabrielle a few minutes after the guys leave.

“I need to pick up some stuff at the store down the street, wanna come?” Gabrielle says now grabbing her jacket.

“Nah, I got a headache and I have a feeling I gonna have a even bigger one later tonight” Emily says meaning the loud music from tonight’s upcoming show.

“Haha, ok then, be back in a bit” Gabrielle says now heading out of the bus.

She walks down the street and then heads into the store.

She then goes shopping for her things.

After a while she checks out and then heads out of the store.

Suddenly, she feels a strong hand grab her arm and forcefully drag her to the back of the store.

“We need to talk” says Robert angrily.

Jared and Gabrielle then take their seats at the café.

“Well….” Jared now begins to say while rubbing his neck.

Then a waiter comes up to them and asks what they want for drinks, and thankfully cutting Jared off for the moment.

He isn’t sure how he’s going to put this.

Oh well, might as well just go for it.

“So?” Gabrielle asks him when the waiter leaves.

“Well…” Jared begins to say.

“Yeah, we past that, so what’s wrong?” Gabrielle says now getting worried.

“Oh no, is he dumping me?! What did I do wrong?!” she thinks fearfully in her head.

“Oh there’s nothing wrong, I just wanna talk really” Jared says.

Gabrielle lets out a sigh of relief at that.

“Ok, so what’s up?” she then asks.

“Well, oops sorry, that word again!” Jared says laughing now.

 “I was thinking…. Now we do have a lot more tour time, but I was…wondering…well, the tour will end eventually….so… where do we go from there?”

“What do you mean?”

“Mmmmmm, what I mean is, what do you think we should do when the tours done?”

“Oh, well, really didn’t think about that”

“Well, I was thinking….well I don’t think a long distance relationship is going to work out too good.  I mean, we really care for each other very much, and, I love you, so……”

“I know, and I love you too”

“Yes, soooo, I was thinking….maybe we can move in together when the tours done”

......

......

......

......

He said that so fast Gabrielle has to do a double take and then she says, “Come again?”

Jared sighs, now dreading on saying that again.

“I said, maybe we can move in together when the tour is over. I know it’s fast, but…. Well I donno know, what do you think?

Gabrielle gives him a long hard long, and then says, “You think you can live with my crazy ass, with nutty ex’s stalking me and, who knows what’s next?”

Jared laughs at that.

“Well, I’ve been dealing with it so far, might as well see it all the way” he then says smiling.

Gabrielle smiles too, then she reaches across the table and holds Jared’s hand and says, “So where do ya wanna live? Your town? Mine?”

“I think your town, it’s much more quieter then LA” Jared says smiling, feeling a sudden burst of joy.

Gabrielle feels it too, and then Jared leans across the table and gives her a hug and a kiss.

The two then enjoy lunch and then the two go off to the bus and get ready for the nights show, all the while trying not to burst from their happiness.

Meanwhile, Robert just found out about the restraining order Gabrielle put out.

And he’s not happy about it….

“Jared don’t!” Gabrielle says now jumping tom him and trying to grab the bat.

“Gab chill!” Jared says now taking one arm and gently pulling her off.

He then opens the door and sees the driver stating there with his arms over his head.

“Oh, sorry man” Jared says now giving a weak smile and then helping him on the bus.

“Good job Jare, you just gave the driver a heart attack. Now we’ll never get out of here” Shannon says to his brother as he and Gab go back to their bunk.

“Oh shut up”
 Jared says now pulling the covers over his head.

“I didn’t think he would come here. You know, to the bus” Emily now says.

“Yeah, then again we didn’t think he would come and follow us around either” Gabrielle says grimly.

“True” Emily says grimly as well.

“Well, lets just hope that you’re run in with him and what you told him shook him off” Shannon says.

“Hopefully, but some how I doubt it. I just have to get a court order tomorrow and be done with this” Gabrielle says now snuggling in the bunk next to Jared.

“We’ll head over to the police station about nine tomorrow” Jared says now from under the covers.

“Cool, thanks Jare” Gabrielle says now lying down.

The next morning:

Jared and Gabrielle have walked into the police station and are now filing a restraining order agent Robert.

“Are you sure you want to file this Miss?” the officer asks Gabrielle for the last time.

“Yes Sir, most defiantly” Gabrielle says to him.

Jared then takes her hand into his and then smiles at her, trying to comfort her.

Gabrielle smiles back and then hold’s Jared’s hand tightly.

“Ok. He cannot now officially be within a hounded yards near you” the officer says now standing up.

“Thank you very much!” Gabrielle says now shaking his hand heartily.

“Your very welcome Miss. That nutcase will surely stay away now, that is if he doesn’t want to get his ass in jail” the officer says smiling.

“Hopefully he does” Jared says now shaking his had as well.

Gabrielle and Jared exit the station and then head off to get lunch.

“I am sooooo happy this is finally over!” Gabrielle says now hugging Jared.

“I know, this is great. By the way…” Jared says now opening the café door for her.

“I need to ask you something really important”

Gabrielle gives a confused look by that sudden outburst and says “Ok, what’s up?”

“What the…..?!” Gabrielle begins to yell then as Robert takes a seat next to Emily.

“Suhh!” Emily says now grabbing her hand and starting to make a run for it.

“Oh come on now ladies, let’s set back and enjoy the show” Robert says now leaning against his seat.

“Screw you!” Gabrielle says now taking a hold of Emily’s hand and then running off.

“Oh great” Robert says to himself now getting up to go after them.

“Oh crap I think he’s fallowing us!” Emily scrams as she and Gabrielle now bolt for the bus.

“What?!” Gabrielle says now looking back.

“She doesn’t see him, but she’s not taking any chances.

“Lets move” she says as they now head for the door.

A few seconds later their on the bus.

“Dude what the hell?!” Emily says shaking a little.

“Now chill ok chill, we’re safe here” Gabrielle says shaking as well.

“Should we call Jared?” Emily then asks.

“No, we’re fine, don’t bother him. We’re safe” Gabrielle says now sitting down.

“Dude he’s a freaking psycho!” Emily says.

“I know. I have to do something about him now. If I don’t he’s gonna fallow us everywhere” Gabrielle agrees.

“Restraining Order” Emily then says bluntly.

“Maybe. I’ll wait till we settle down and the guys come back to see” Gabrielle says now holding her head in her hands.

Emily then goes over to her to comfort her till Jared and the other’s come back.

A few hours later the guys walk in.

“Hey! Was wondering what happened to you two!” Shannon says cheerily as he now takes Emily onto his arms and kisses her.

“Gabs what wrong?” Jared asks Gabrielle at once, sensing that something was wrong.

Gabrielle sighs and then goes off into telling them about her and Emily’s run in with Robert.

“Son of a bitch!” Jared roars before Gabrielle can finish.

“That does it, something has to be done with this nut!” Shannon says agreeing as he hugs Emily close to him.

  “Restraining Order?” Tomo then says.

“That’s what M said. I’d hate to do it, but I think I’m gonna have to” Gabrielle says sighing.

“I think that’s the best idea” Jared says now rapping his arms around Gabrielle.

“Huhh, I’ll take care of it tomorrow I guess” Gabrielle says now hugging Jared tight.

“Yes, meanwhile you take a shower and get some sleep, you look like you need it” Shannon says to her smiling.

Gabrielle smiles back and says “Yeah I do” then she goes off to get her pj’s and then she goes into the bathroom.

An hour later she and Jared are in their bunk reading together.

“Are you sure your ok?” Jared asks her for the tenth time.

“Yes Jare I’m fine. I just want this nut to stay away, Cause not only could he hurt me, he could hurt you, or M, or anyone really. And that’s what I’m gonna take care of tomorrow” Gabrielle says now snuggling her head into Jared’s chest.

Jared sighs and smiles and then he kisses her.

Suddenly there’s a knock on the door.

“Dude who could that he?” Shannon says now getting out of his and Emily’s bunk.

 Tomo and Jared get out too, as Gabrielle suddenly has a fear like feeling come over her.

“Be careful!” she says to them.

Jared suddenly gets a chill and an idea.

“Don’t worry baby, if it’s nut nut, we’ll take care of him for good” Jared says to Gabrielle now grabbing a bat.

A few days later:

Robert’s plane just landed and he’s now walking along the airport on the way to baggage calm.

He better hurry to, the concert gonna start in a hour.

He missed out on talking to her last time, but it won’t happen again.

He saw her briefly at then last concert, but he thinks she saw him and ran off.

Know that was going to happen.

Maybe he should try a softer approach this time.

He now takes a cab to the hotel.

Once he gets there he then unpacks.

Then he takes a fast shower and then gets ready.

“Maybe this is stalking” he thinks to himself as he now walks out and heads to the arena.

“But I need to see her and talk to her. I think she’s way better off with me then that creep”

After a few minutes he reaches the arena door and heads in, looking for any sign of her.

Meanwhile on the bus:

Gabrielle is getting ready for the show.

“Are you sure you can handle coming out?” Jared asks her as he’s putting his shirt on.

“Yes Jared, this is a concert not the wild west” Gabrielle says laughing.

“I know but I’m still afraid off….” Jared begins to say.

“I know I know, Robert popping up and carrying me kicking and screaming off into the moonlight like some kind of werewolf and that’ll be the end of me” Gabrielle says cutting him off.

Jared smiles and then says, “Bingo”

“You know I can take care of myself. And if he does pop up I’ll take care of him in a second” Gabrielle says now hugging him.

“I know” Jared says now kissing her.

“Good, now chill. Now where is Emily? Gabrielle says now walking away to look for Emily.

Jared smiles again, though not fully feeling safe about Gabrielle in the stands by herself without him with her.

Yeah she’s got Emily there with her, but still…..

Well, at least he got the seats for them to be right in front of him, so that makes him feel a bit better.

After a few minutes Gabrielle finds Emily and then them and the band head off to the arena.

“Ok, this is the last time we do this. We have to say no next time Gab” Emily says as she and Gabrielle take their seats.

“I know, but this time was my flat really. I want to show Jared that I’m fine by myself, even if he’s right there” Gabrielle says to her pointing dead in front of her of where the stage is.

“I know” Emily says now yawning and then pulling out her cell phone.

“You better turn that off, shows about to start in a sec” Gabrielle then says to her.

“Hum, ok” Emily says now turning it off and putting it away.

She looks around her for a sec and then sees something.

“What the?!” she then says.

“What?” Gabrielle asks.

“I thought I just saw….nah, never mind” Emily says now settling back into her seat.

Gabrielle gives her a puzzled look, then turns away as the lights suddenly go out.

A few minutes go by and then fog beings to float in.

“And here we go again” Emily says rolling her eyes.

“Shh!” Gabrielle says quickly.

Suddenly they feel someone trying to make their way though the darkness.

“Pardon me girls, just let me slid in here” says an all too familiar voice.

They then feel someone sit next to Emily.

As the small strands of lights being to shine, Gabrielle can now clearly see who it is.

“Oh my God…..”

A few hours later the boys come back in.

“Come on girls” Tomo says now opening the door for them.

“Aren’t you going to change?” Gabrielle asks them as she gets hers and Emily’s snacks and drinks together.

“Nah, we still have to go back and do a meet and greet” Jared says now grabbing Gabrielle’s hand.

“But we want to get you guys on the bus first” Shannon says now taking Emily’s hand and then walking out the door with her.

The other’s fallow, and then they sneak out the back and rush over to the bus.

“Now stay here till we come back. We already told the driver to hot the gas the minute we come back” Jared says as they walk in.

“You know Jare, you don’t have to do this secret spy like stuff” Gabrielle says laughing a little at the way he’s acting.

“Yes I do. I don’t trust this guy, and I don’t want to take any chances” Jared says now taking her in his arms a hugging her.

“Ok” Gabrielle says smiling.

“Good. Now we’ll be back in an hour, then we’ll play Wii or something” Jared now says smiling.

“Ok cool” Gabriele says now kissing him.

Then he and the other boys walk out and leave the girls alone.

“He is so protective” Emily says smiling.

“I know. He’s soooo sweet” Gabrielle says smiling.

 Emily smiles and then says the same about Shannon and Tomo.

An hour later the boys come back and at second Jared closes the door the driver beings the engine and drives off.

“So what game are we playing first?” Shannon asks as they al settle in.

“I donno, lets go in the back and look” Emily says.

As she Tomo and Shannon head in, Gabrielle asks Jared to wait a second so they can talk alone.

“Did you by chance see him?” she asks him once they’re alone.

“No, I didn’t. But I was looking for him to comfort the crazy basted” Jared says shaking his head.

“Maybe M’s right, maybe I was just seeing things” Gabrielle says now shaking her head.

“I don’t think so. If you saw him you saw him. I doubt your looking for him” Jared says now smiling to make her feel better.

“You got that right. Maybe he just went for the show?”

“Maybe. But again, I’m not taking any chances. That dude is nuts and there’s no telling what he would do. And I don’t want you to get hurt. I love you too much”

A Gabrielle smile’s at that in surprise and then suddenly pulls him towards her and whispers, “Do you love me Jare?”

“With all my heart. I’ve been waiting to tell you for a while now” Jared whispers back smiling again.

“I love you too” Gabrielle says now kissing him.

Jared smiles as they kiss, and then he raps his arms around her into a hug.

Shannon yelling, “Hey, suddenly breaks the moment! You guys gonna play or make out all night?!”

A few hours later everyone is tried out from playing and they all go to sleep.

While Jared has his arms around her, Gabrielle can’t help smile.

But she is still unnerved but seeing Robert.

“Maybe he was there for a show after all, or it was some dude that looked like him” she think in her head, thinking maybe she and the others are getting the wrong idea.

She’ll soon find out how wrong she is…..

Gabrielle then storms over to where she and Emily are sitting.

“Guess who’s here!” she screams at Emily.

Emily then jumps back in shock from the outburst and then shakes her head.

“ROBERT!”

“WHAT?!”

“YEAH!”

“SON OF A BITCH!”

“THAT’S WHAT I SAID!”

“Hey could you ladies pipe down there the shows about to start!” a few fans behind them suddenly yell.

“Oh piss off!” Gabrielle says now walking away.

“Gabrielle! Where are you going?!” Emily yells now running after her.

“To comment murder!” Gabrielle says over her shoulder now on the hunt for him.

“Gab now just chill. Are you sure you saw him?” Emily says now grabbing Gabrielle’s arm to stop her.

Gabrielle then gives her a “Are you kidding me?” look easily answering her question.

“Ok, now lets just chill. Um, let’s see the guys and sort this out”
 Emily says now pulling Gabrielle to the dressing rooms.

“No! I want to do this myself!” Gabrielle says pulling back.

“Come on Gab” Emily says now dragging Gabrielle to the back.

A few minutes later the guy’s dressing room door bursts open.

“What’s the matter?!” Tomo says as the girl’s storm though.

“Where Jare and Shan?” Emily asks him.

“They went to get something from the bus, they will be back in a sec, what’s wrong?” Tomo says now sitting the two down.

Seconds later Jared and Shannon walk in.

“Hey baby what’s up?” Jared says to Gabrielle smiling and then walking over to her and giving her a kiss.

“Robert’s here” Gabrielle mutters.

“What” Jared then says with a blank face.

“You heard me” Gabrielle says.

Meanwhile Shannon looks at Emily with an open mouth while Emily just nods her head.

“Who’s Robert?” Tomo asks.

“Gab’s sicko obsessive ex” Jared says now putting on her gloves.

“Oh wow” Tomo says in shock.

“Yeah, fun isn’t? Knew that son of a bitch would try and track you down” Jared says now turning to Gabrielle.

“Not try, succeeded” Gabrielle says with e grim face.

“Do you know what row he is sitting in?” Shannon asks.

“No, I saw him in passing when I went to get something on the bus” Gabrielle says.

Jared then puts his hands up, thinking.

“Ok, here what I want you to do, the both of you” he then begins to say to the girls.

“You two stay here in the back through out the show, we’ll see if we can get a tv in here if you want to watch. Then when we’re done we’ll come a get you and then blow out of here. I don’t trust this guy at all” he then says.

“I can take care of myself Jare” Gabrielle beings to say.

“Yeah I know, but I don’t need to be worrying about you with sicko floating around through out the whole show, and I don’t want to take any chances with Emily either”

“I second that” Shannon says now rapping his arms around Emily.

The two girls look at each other and sigh.

Oh well, make ‘em happy.

“Ok, we’ll hang here till your done” Gabrielle says now giving Jared a hug.

“Good. Now snack and soda machines are in the hall. Try to stay here as much a possible” Jared says to them while giving Gabrielle a kiss.

The girls promise and then the guys head into the stage.

The girls then sit on the sofa and try to chill.

“You know, this is kinda scary” Emily says to Gabrielle after a minute.

“Yeah, but the guys are trying to protect us” Gabrielle says.

“Yeah, I know. And look at it this way, now we can chill on seeing the show!” Emily says now laughing.

Gabrielle laughs as well and then the girls spend the rest of the next few hours in the room waiting for the boys to come get them.

A few weeks later:

The last few weeks have been tiring yet blissful.

Shannon and Emily are closer then ever.

And Gabrielle and Jared seem to be falling in love more and more everyday.

She’s still waiting for the right time to tell him, but it’ll happen soon J

And best of all, Robert hasn’t been in touch since the last time Jared talked to him.

Everything seems to be running smoothly.

And of course Robert has to think up a way to screw it up.

He wants Gabrielle back, and that’s it.

He’s now on a plane to the next stop of where the band is.

He has to see her again.

 He doesn’t care if she gets mad or not.

He sits now and thinks about her in that dirt bag Jared arms.

She belongs with him, not Jared.

And he’ll make sure the both of them get the point.

Even if he has to force them to see.

A hounded miles away, on the ground:

Gabrielle wakes up to the sound of the alarm clock going off.

She sighs and slams it off.

She then goes to get out of the bunk when Jared suddenly grabs her softly on the arm and whispers, “Don’t”

“Why not?” Gabrielle asks confused.

“Cause your not wearing any clothes baby” Jared says now sliding over to her and then rapping g his arms around her.

“Ohhhhhh” Gabrielle says now giggling.

She now remembers that they made love last night.

Thanks goodness for big bunks.

Gabrielle now smiles at the memory of it as she slips back into the bunk.

It was sooooooo good.

She then raps her arms around him and kisses him.

“So you enjoyed last night I take it?” Jared then asks slyly.

“You bet ya” Gabrielle says.

“Mmmmmm glad ya did. It was awesome” Jared says now nuzzling his head next to hers.

“We better get up and dressed, got a long day ahead of us” Gabrielle says after while.

“Uhh yeah, guess so” Jared mutters now unwrapping his arms from her and then he begins to looks for his clothes among the sheets.

Gabrielle then begins to look for hers too, and it takes the both of them a few good minutes to find them all.

The two then get out of the bunk and as Jared makes coffee, Gabrielle starts to make pancakes.

“Something smells good” Shannon says hopping out of his and Emily’s bunk a few minutes later.

“Just flipping them now” Gabrielle says smiling.

Emily then rolls out and then gets her and Shannon coffee.

“Have fun last night?” she whispers in Gabrielle’s ears.

“What do you mean?” Gabrielle asks.

“Well, someone was doing some heavy breathing last night, and it sure wasn’t me and Shan”

“Sure sure, you we’re in the shower”

Emily then smacks Gabrielle playfully on the arm, making her laugh.

Soon everyone is up and getting ready for the day.

“So you guys ready for you show tonight?” Emily asks the guys as they eat.

“Of course, just gotta get my one jacket from the dry cleaners today for show time” Jared says now remembering and then getting his card from his wallet.

The day goes by quickly, the errands are then done and soon it’s almost show time.

Once again Gabrielle and Emily are stuck at the show.

“We soooo have to stop feeling bad about saying no to this” Emily moans to Gabrielle as they take their seats.

“I know I know” Gabrielle says sighing.

She then remembers she left her cell on the bus so she tells Emily she’ll be back and then goes off.

When she reaches the outer area or the arena she suddenly stops dead in her tracks.

Is that….?
No, it can’t be.

She shakes her head and then runs off to the bus.

A few minutes later she returns and then stops again.

Oh yes, it is.

Son of a bitch…..

After an hour of trying to reach him, Jared finally gets Robert on the phone.

“Hello Robert, this is Jared” Jared says in a soft yet uneven tone.

Gabrielle and Shannon meanwhile sit in the sofa and stare.

“Oh yeah Hi! Glad you called back!” Robert says pleasantly.

“Yes. So, you know Gabrielle?” Jared then says.

“Oh yes, we’ve been friends for a long time. Didn’t she say anything about me?”

“Um, yeah a little, like how you wont stop calling and getting on her nerves. And I must say, I do not like you upsetting her”

Gabrielle’s mouth drops open at that.

“Oh well, sorry for bothering her, didn’t know I was” Robert says.

“Well I would think you must have since she told you a good few times that you were” Jared says now in a bit of an angry tone.

“Well, see she’s always like that…”

“Sure sure”

“Listen, I didn’t mean to upset her, see I just got back from a very long trip and I just wanted to see if she was alright. It kinda feels weird not having her around ya know?”

“Oh I can imagine”

“Yeah, so please tell her that I’m sorry for all this?”

Jared then rolls his eyes and lets out a soft sighs and at the same time says, “Oh course”

“Thanks very much. Well I guess you’re all busy with tour and all…” Robert then says.

“Yeah” Jared reply’s stiffly.

“So I’ll just let you go. Thanks for calling back Jared
”Oh please, it was my pleasure, you take care now”

Then he hangs up.

“Asshole” Jared then says now sitting down.

“What did he say?” Shannon asks.

“He said that he wants me to tell you that he’s sorry for this whole mess” Jared says nodding his head to Gabrielle.

“Humph, yeah, I got told that before” Gabrielle says now folding her arms.

Emily then gets out of the shower and sees everyone’s faces.

“What’s up?” she asks them.

“Nothing, just a lot of bull for nothing” Gabrielle says now getting up and pouring her some coffee.

Emily then takes the coffee and then heads into her bunk while Shannon takes a shower real fast.

“Hey listen, I need to talk to you” Jared says softly as he raps his arms around Gabrielle as she washes the cups out.

“Sure what’s up?” Gabrielle says.

“I want you to promise me that if he ever contacts you again you or even try’s to you let me know that second” Jared says.

“Sure, I don’t know if he’s gonna or not”

“I don’t care, I’m getting worried about this now. He’s like obsessed or something, and I don’t like it”

“I know. I’ll let you know if he does”

“Good, now lets get some sleep” Jared says now kissing her and then going over to their bunk.

A few hours later:

They all get back on the bus and settle in for the night.

“Aww dude I’m beat” Shannon says to Jared while yawning.

“Yeah, gets some sleep dude” Jared reply’s.

“I would, but I gotta go take a shower first and Emily hasn’t been out” Shannon says.

Gabrielle then makes everyone coffee, and then she sits next to Jared on the sofa and asks, “What’s ya doing?”

“I got a call a little while ago from a un-known number, now I’m trying to figure out who it was” he reply’s now looking though his contacts. 

“Oh really?” Gabrielle says.

“Yeah, and I don’t see it in here”

“Hum, let me see it” Gabrielle says now getting a weird feeling.

 Jared then hands the phone over to her and then she looks at the number.

Her eyes suddenly go wide at the look of it.

No. Way.

“I told him not to, but damned if he did anyway!” she scrams in her head.

Anger then fills her, and she then quick grabs a pen and paper and writes down the number.

“What’s going on?” Jared asks her.

“I know who this is, and before you even start give me a few minutes while I make this call” Gabrielle says now getting up and walking out of the bus.

“Where are you going?!” Shannon calls after her.

“To the pay phone across the street” Gabrielle yell’s back.

“What’s going on?” Shannon then says to Jared turning around to look at him.

“I think I know who called me now, and I don’t blame her for being pissed” Jared says now listening to his voice mail.

“Hey Jared this is Robert, Gabrielle’s friend. I’ve heard a lot of cool things about you from her and well, I would like to just, ya know, to know you and to talk to you.

Sooooo……

Call me you got my number now!”

Jared then lets Sannon listen to the message.

“Dudes got balls, I’ll give him that” Shannon says shaking his head.

“Yeah well, lets see how tough he is when I get a hold of him” Jared says angrily now dialing the number.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle just reached the phone booth and is now dialing the phone in top speed.

But she gets his voice mail instead.

“Crap! Bet he know I’d find out!” she says now walking back to the bus.

When she gets back she sees Shannon put his finger to his lips saying to be quiet.

She gives him a puzzled look and then turns around to find Jared on the phone.

“It’s ok, I can’t reach him. But I’ll sure as hell will try again” Jared says to them now re-dialing.

“Jared just let it go I’ll get him” Gabrielle says now knowing who he’s talking about.

But Jared puts his hands up.

“He obliviously is up to something, and he’s obliviously not letting you go. Now it’s time I make him” he then says softly.

“Whoa, does he get like this when he’s pissed?” Gabrielle then says to Gabrielle.

“You have no idea” Shannon reply’s shaking his head…..

The next morning Gabrielle wakes up to the warm smell of coffee.

“Knew that would get you up” Jared says smiling at her as she gets up and walks over to the kitchen area.

“You know me better then I know myself” Gabrielle says laughing a little and then giving Jared a kiss on the cheek, and then she walks over to the booth and sits down.

Emily then pops out of the bathroom dressed and looking fresh.

“Is Shan up yet?” she asks Jared as she grabs herself a cup of coffee.

“Nope, let him sleep a little longer, we got a long day ahead of us” Jared reply’s.

“Yeah I’ll give him another hour. Hey Gabs” Emily says now sitting down across from her.

“Hey M, you look awake” Gabrielle says.

“Yeah, slept good last night. You look like you didn’t get a wink though”

“I know, didn’t sleep at all”

“Why not”

“Ahhh, nothing really”

“She got a call from Robert” Jared then says out of nowhere now leaning up against the counter sipping coffee.

“Oh?” Emily says now giving Gabrielle a surprised look.

“Yeah”

“And?”

“And what?”

“And…”

“He says he wants to see her again. Sorry, needs to see her again” Jared says now sipping again.

“Jeez Gab, I had no idea that you can shoot your voice all the way over to Jared and make him say what you wanna say” Emily then says to Gabrielle

Jared nearly spits out coffee at that while Gabrielle gives her a dirty look.

“Wait, you know about Robert Jare?” Emily then says to Jared trying to ignore Gabrielle’s look.

“Yeah, me and Gab had a talk about it last night. I’m cool with it, no worries, just don’t like the idea of him calling and waiting to see her and all, he’s like some whacked out stalker or something” Jared says shaking his head.

“I know right?! It’s insane!” Gabrielle says agreeing.

“I agree” Emily says nodding.

“And that reminds me” Gabrielle says now going over to her bag and then getting out her cell phone.

“What’s she doing?” Emily asks Jared as Gabrielle now dials her phone.

“She’s changing her number, we both talked about it and we think it’s the best idea, that way he’ll leave her alone” Jared says.

“Yeah, that is a good idea. Nutcase” Emily says now getting herself an apple.

A while later Gabrielle gets off the phone.

“Ok, here’s my new number. Lets see him try and call again” Gabrielle says now giving Emily and Jared a napkin with her new cell number written down on it.

“Good for you, let me just get my cell” Emily says smiling and then walking over to her bag.

Shannon then gets up from his bunk and then goes over and sits next to Gabrielle.

“Coffee?” is the first thing he says.

“Knew it wouldn’t take too long” Jared says now pouring his brother a cup.

“Mmm thanks. Oh hey Gab” Shannon says after taking a sip and then suddenly noticing Gabrielle for the first time.

“Hey Shan. Oh here, the new number for my cell before I forget” Gabrielle says now handing him the napkin.

“New cell number? What for?”

“Long story” Jared says

“Not again Jare” Gabrielle says shaking her and laughing.

A few hours later:

The guys are about to leave the bus for the arena.

“Come on Bro we’re gonna be late!” Shannon calls Jared from outside the bus.

“In a minute, just have to find my shoes!” Jared calls back.

After spending a few minutes looking, he finally finds them under the sofa.

“Huh, how did they get there?” Jared says to himself now grabbing the shoes.

Then he goes to walk out, and then he remembers he forgot his blackberry.

So he goes back to the kitchen and grabs it, then suddenly he sees that someone called.

“Humm, unknown number, that’s odd” Jared says looking at it.

“Ah, I’ll check it later, I am running so late!” he then says now stuffing the phone into it’s holder and then running out.

She then reluctantly picks up.

“What do you want Robert?” she says answering it.

“Well, you sound like you’re in the mood” he says.

“It’s four in the morning, I’m tired and I know your going to start even though I asked you and then just plan out told you not to”

“I know, and I’m sorry but…. I need to see you again”

“Ahhhh…. no you don’t”

“Yes I do! I’ve been thinking about you even more now ever since we last met! It’s divining me nuts!”

“Sure, but don’t”

“Where are you?”

“In a tour bus a hundred miles away from you in a town that’s name I will never tell you”

“Why not?”

“Because I want you to leave me alone. Didn’t we just talk about this a short time ago? Or am I just losing it?”

 “I know I know, but we can’t just hang out?”

“No”

“Fine, then I wanna meet Jared”

“HELL NO!”

Gabrielle then covers her mouth and looks around, hoping her outburst didn’t wake anyone.

“Why not?”

“Look Rob, I told you to leave me alone and I mean it! And you will not, and I mean not, mess this relationship with Jared for me! I know what your up too, and you can forget it”

“But I just want to meet him”

“Piss off”

“Fine then ask him if he would like to meet, you can’t bully him like you did to me”

“First off I never bulled you. And two, P-I-S-S O-F-F”

“Ok ok, but just ask him anyway”

“No, he is sleeping and I will not wake him for something stupid. Now goodbye!”

And before Robert gets out another word, Gabrielle flips the phone shut.

“Son of a bitch” she says angrily.

She then shakes her head and then goes into the bathroom to wash her face.

Why is he doing this?

Does he want to really just meet Jared?

Or screw up him and Gabrielle?

Whatever the reason is, Gabrielle is in no way gonna let Jared know about this.

This is one thing she has to keep from him.

She dries her face and then heads back into their bunk.

“You alright honey?” Jared suddenly whispers next to her.

“Yeah, I’m ok” Gabrielle whispers back now settling in.

“Good. So who we’re you fighting on the phone with?”

Gabrielle sighs before answering.

“Well I can tell him some of it” she thinks to herself.

“It was Robert. He wants to meet up again, I told him to piss off” she says after a long pause.

“Really? Why does he want to do that?” Jared then asks.

“He says he misses me and he needs to see me again. I told him that our last meeting was just that, our last meeting. I don’t want to be bothered with him anymore, and I told him that a while ago, but he just won’t listen. So again I told him off” Gabrielle says.

“Ha, hopefully it works this time” Jared says now putting his arms around her.

“I just don’t went him around me anymore you know? He has done some screwed up things to me, I can never forgive him. Besides, I’m happy with you and I want us to say that way” Gabrielle says.

“I know honey, and it will” Jared says now kissing the side of her head.

“I think I’m gonna call and have my cell number changed tomorrow” Gabrielle then mutters.

“I think that’s a good idea, cause he might just keep on tormenting you, then I’ll have to step in” Jared says agreeing.

Gabrielle smiles at that and then snuggles in closer to Jared.

“Now get some sleep we have a busy day tomorrow” Jared says to her.

“Ok, goodnight”

“Night”
