Chapter 2: Oliver

"Hey guys, it's In Time. We just like to say thanks to all of our fans who supported us through the last 4 years. Today we'd like to announce that we are going off the grid for a while, so we can finish our senior year." Dax said. I sat down on the beanbag chair in the room. I am always in the back now because I always look sick. Especially since last week when it was the 2 year anniversary me and Claire officially ended.

"Though we won't be totally off the grid, we'll have a few concerts left at that time. Also, we are going to be putting out a new album called LoveSick on Valentine's Day. So preorder that now." I then said. I knew that this was going to be a few hard months. I knew we are going to the high school Claire goes to. I also know she is with someone right now. Which will be hard.

" In this new album it's mainly about heartbreak, and it's all in Oliver perspective. It's about how he hurt a girl without meaning to and she broke his heart. I know she knows who I am talking about.This is his story of what his life has been like for the past couple years." Caleb then says. I stand up and walk out. I didn't know they were going to say that. I didn't want them saying that. Dax and Caleb stare at me for a sec then go on talking about what will happen. I get into my bed and close the curtains.We are on a tour bus so we don't have rooms.I plugged my headphones in and turned on what was our album LoveSick so far. Then I turned the group chat on that was the guys and Claire's.

I looked at all the pictures she sent us every day. We never answered. We never texted her back. Not even on special days, like her birthday or the time we officially became a couple. We weren't allowed to they wanted us to cut off any connections we had with anyone we knew other than family. When we told our producer who she was, they said we could keep her phone number and chat we just weren't allowed to text her back. So we watched as she got thinner, as she got sick when she was babysitting, when she was happy.

We posted amnesia because I loved Claire and not the girlfriend that the record label gave me. I didn't want to break up with Claire, but I had to forget all the little things she does. I was going to text her after the video and tell her everything, but I didn't get the chance. I looked at the last picture she sent. Her and Olivia on a motorcycle. It was her birthday, so her dad must have gotten her one. Then I read our conversation.

I Can't believe you. 

You little jerks. I can't even believe you.

Do you know what day it is?

Do you.

Why am I still texting you?

I am through with this.

You won't even answer.

Whatever we had Oliver Eugene West is over

Goodbye.

That's when I couldn't take it anymore. I had to reply, I had to get her to listen. The boys were with me so they got on to. We started to reply.

Wait- Dax

This isn't what you think- Oliver

You have to listen to us- Caleb

I'm sorry we weren't more clear- Dax

Plz. don't leave- Oliver

I told the boys that they need to get off, and they did.

Caleb has signed off

Dax has signed off

I love you, don't do this, listen to what I have to say- Oliver

I don't want to hear it. I can't believe you would think I would listen to you after all this.

I am sorry, so sorry- Oliver

I hate you, I never want to talk to you again. Goodbye

Claire has signed off

No, don't leave me- Oliver

This Chat Has Been Discontinued

I sat in the hotel we were in that day and cried. I didn't think she would take it that way. Dax and Caleb canceled the concert we had that night and tried to cheer me up. I texted my girlfriend and broke up with her. The record label was furious and Dax and Caleb had been mad at the record label. We got an email from a new record label. Caleb and Dax decided that since our contract with this label was almost over we would take it.

I was still looking through pictures when the curtain got pulled back. The boys looked at me like "What the heck".

"Why did you leave?" Dax asked.

"Why did you say that?Did I ever say you could tell the world that?" I screamed back.

" No, but man they need something. Legit, you have only given out the name and the date."

"Well, you could have asked me first."

"You would have said no and you know it," Caleb said.

I looked at them, then I realized I wouldn't have a let them. I would have yelled at them. I need to get her off my mind.

" Alright, I need to get her off my mind. Let's make the video for our cover of whoever he is." I said then I start to get off the bed and I fell off. Lucky me I was on the top bunk. Also, Caleb got it on video. I am on the floor laughing, while Dad is dying from laughter and Caleb is also laughing but not as hard. I looked at them and they pointed to the bed. I looked at the bed and realized the railing they put so you don't fall off in the night was gone. I looked back at the boys and the camera was in my face.

" How do you feel about that Oliver?Are you going to take that?" Caleb said, and I looked at him with playful revenge. I get up.

" I feel like you better give that camera to Dax." Caleb gave the camera to Dax and Dax go onto the other top bunk and kept recording. I tackled Caleb we fell. He pushed me off him and got up and sat on me. I have grown weaker since the breakup. So I couldn't get him off me. So I hit the floor three times and Caleb got off me. I stood up and looked at the camera. I started laughing and said

"I am sorry for being such a butt guys. We are In Time..." I said then I tackled Caleb. We fell again. I jumped up and hopped onto my bunk. Caleb looked shocked and Dax couldn't stop laughing.

"Bye, guys!" I said laughing. Then I pulled the curtains. I waited for a minute and opened my curtains to Caleb and Dax staring at me. I jumped, and no matter what the guys say I didn't scream.

The driver, Steve, came into the side of the bus. He looked at us, rolled his eyes and grabbed a soda out of the refrigerator. He then turned towards the front of the bus.

" We will be at the school for rehearsal, in 5 mins. Pick your songs now." He said as he walked out. I looked at the boys with a questioning look. I knew that I would end up picking songs and they always reflect my emotions.

" Alright, so we get 4 songs to sing, I say let's do the covers. Maybe we should do Girls talk Boys. Then Whoever he is. What about you Oliver, what do you want to sing?" Dax asked me. I thought about it.

" I think Personal and Oh Cecilia.Then if we get one more All night." I said. Then I realized Claire probably would be in the audience, and I became less sure.

"Alright then, let's grab the guitars and stuff and let's get ready. " Caleb said. We got ready to go practice. Steve came back towards us.

" We are here. Let's go." We walked off the bus. We saw a bunch of kids come out. I scanned them over and didn't see Callie. I sighed but was relieved at the same time. We went in and stared at the backdrop. These rookies must have a great crew if they could pull this off. We heard a scream and laughs coming from the hallways. Dax ran over to the door. He looked out the window and his face went pale then back to normal. I ran over but he stood in front of the window.

"Man, let me see. You look as if there is a dead body out there." I said to him. He pushed me, hard, away from the door and looked back out the window. Caleb picked me up. I stared at Dax with anger.

"What was that man?" I said. He looked at me.

" It was nothing. Nothing man, forget it I am sorry I pushed you.Let's practice." He said. The ran onto the stage.

"Alright man," I said, then we started to practice. I was still wondering if it had anything to do with Callie, but I am sure it wasn't.
