I flipped through the pages of 'Smash Hits' and came upon a huge poster of 5ive. The guys were decked out in tuxuedos and holding roses. At the bottom was a red sign 'Five Looking For Love'. I cringed when I read it and quickly closed the magazine and threw it onto a pile of others. When will he admit it? Its been 2 years now and he still won't come clean to the world. He tells magazines that he would never lie to his fans, then what is he doing now?
Suddenly the phone rang, snapping me back.
I could hear my mother pick up down stairs. I waited for my name to be called but only silence filled my ears. I glanced out the window, a big oak tree stood right outside. It's leafs were almost gone.
'They come and go with the seasons' Scott said once 'Yet the tree always stands tall and proud'
My mind began to wonder to the warm place where he was now, why oh why I couldn't be there with him. Comfort him, cheer him on and just feel his eyes on me. Why?
I leaned back in the seat and closed my eyes. Airplanes always gave me headaches.
I could feel a body slip into the seat next to me. My eyes slowly opened and revealed my personal assitant Jenna grinning at me.
'Its Ritch' She said handing me the phone.
Instantly my face lit up as I took the phone.
'Hey sweety' I spoke.
'Hey' He replied, just hearing his voice made every pain go away.
'How come you're calling Jenna's phone?'I asked.
'I tried calling yours, it seems to be turned off'
I grabbed my mobile phone from my bag and noticed that it was turned off.
'Oh sorry, I guess I wanted some peace after the concert' I replied. 'Where are you now?'
There was some shuffling with the phone, I heard a loud laughter in the background and quickly recognized it, who else would laugh loud like that but J?
'I think somewhere between L.A and San Francisco' Ritch said, I could hear the exauhstion in his voice, what I would do right now to comfort him?
'Are you still in Australia?' He asked.
'I'm on my way to New Zealand' Suddenly the seat belt sign appeared above me and the pilot's voice come onto the speaker.
'Hun, we're landing, I'll talk to you later' I told Ritch and waited for his reply.
'Oh..' He sighed 'I love you'
'I love you too' I said and hanged up. Moments later the headache returned like an annoying fly.
'Dani...Dani...DANI!'
'What?' I said as I jolted awake to see Ian standing over me. I sighed softly to myself as my memory returned-I was in my dressing room on the Hollyoaks set- and I was supposed to be going over my lines.
'Finally! I thought you said you had some lines to go over....but let me guess-sleepless night?' he asked.
'Yeah. I suppose you could say that' I replied as I unwillingly got up and began fixing my hair in front of the mirror.
'Another late night phone call from Abs was it?' he continued.
'No- actually he didnt call...' I said feeling an unconscious frown start to form on my face.
'OHHHHH........'
'He's been busy though- they're promoting in the States....Im sure....well...' I inturrupted trying to justify the fact that Abs hadn't called not only last night, but the night before, or even the night before. In fact, he hadnt called in several days. We'd been going through a long distance relationship for a while now, it wasn't as if I wasnt used to it. But, lately, it had been a trend of his. He wasnt all to blame though. I hadn't exactly been calling him either.
'Its alright Dani. You dont have to explain' he said as I stalled with my explanation.
I sighed. Life had just been a bit overwhelming. Things were different with Abs. I don't know if it was me, if it was him, if it was working on Hollyoaks, or if it was Five. It was something.
I looked up at Ian and smiled. Ian always knew what to say in situations like these. He was a really good mate...a really good mate.
'Thanks' I replied.
'Well you better get out there then- they're all waiting for you out there' he said as he opened the door for me to usher me out.
'Knock em dead GINA...see you after the wrap up' he continued as he we parted ways and he headed for his dressing room.
'Well- here goes' I thought to myself as I walked on the set trying to get my thoughts together.
