Chapter Fifteen - Jittery Times

Justin sat down at the table in the staff canteen and waited for Jill to pay for her lunch and join him. The last two weeks had just flown by since he had got back from Germany and Ruth had made sure to fill him in with all the stuff that had happened since he had been away. Everytime he thought about Ruth telling Gerard Way to fuck off he couldn't help but laugh away to himself. Ruth had been positively giddy when she told him about Gerard and Bob being in her flat and how Gerard had approved her cd collection. Oh yes she got to leer at Frank Iero which had made her day, week and month. Being away from Ruth had made him realise just how much he cared for her and Jill couldn't help herself teasing them when they returned to work following Justin's return from Germany. Neither Ruth or Justin could be contacted that whole weekend as they soaked up every minute they could be alone together. His attention soon turned to his friend standing at the till waiting to pay for her food. There was no doubting that Jill was looking forward to her new assignment which started tomorrow but he could tell she was worrying about it. Jill was a worrier and she bottled everything up inside of her. He smiled as Jill walked over to the table.

"I'm so hungry," Jill said placing her tray down on the table and sitting down opposite him.

"Got enough food there?" Justin replied pointing to the mountain on her tray.

"I told you I'm hungry and I haven't eaten all day," Jill told him as she pulled a sandwich from it's wrapper.

"So you all set for the big off tomorrow?"

"Kind of, I'm all packed and I'm staying over at Ruth's so I can get the train down to Bournemouth tomorrow morning." Jill explained.

"You okay about it all then?"

Jill looked up at him, "Truthfully I'm cacking my pants."

"Always such a lady." Justin replied causing Jill to laugh.

"I'm sorry I couldn't think of any other words."

"What's worrying you?" Justin asked.

"It's a brilliant job, I'll be busy with the blogs for the net everyday for Ruth and the article. I know I'll be in a hotel most nights but it's still pretty nervewracking." Jill tried to explain and she supped at her coffee.

"At the end of the day they're just 5 smelly guys that just happen to be in a band." Justin tried to reassure her.

"I know you're right," Jill replied, "Plus we're travelling up from Liverpool to Glasgow overnight in the bus so I'll get to visit my Dad. Don't tell Neil though, you know his rule on wasting work time."

Justin smirked, "Hey don't worry about it, I spent a fair amount of time in Germany just sitting in the bar with the band and their crew, it's like a right of passage if your travelling with a band."

"So you see all will work out fine." Jill said passing her crisps to Justin who had already started eating them.

"I'm just glad it's you and not Ruth going." Justin laughed.

"What do you mean?"

"Put it this way I don't think Frank Iero would be safe." Justin informed her as he rolled her eyes.

"Oh she's not still going on about that is she, "Jill laughed, "Last week she was asking me to get some photo's of him. She's obsessed."

"Totally," Justin agreed, "So you finishing up early tonight?"

"You're joking right, Neil's given me stuff that would keep me here til midnight if I hadn't managed to offload some of it." Jill replied.


------Next Day------

Jill woke up to the sound of Ruth gently knocking at the door and she grinned as she heard The Black Parade cd.

"Time to get up Jilly." Ruth said smiling like the chesire cat and moving to open the curtains.

"Is it really that time already?" Jill asked pulling the covers over her head.

"Fraid so honey, so up you get," Ruth replied pulling the covers off her friend.

"Nooooooo, I just wanna sleep." Jill said pulling the covers back over herself again.

Jill looked at Ruth when she heard no response to see Ruth turn her attention to the door and then point to Jill.

"What's going on?" Jill nervously asked as she suddenly saw Justin appear at the side of her bed. Justin ripped the covers from Jill's grasp and Jill shrieked as he grabbed her and lifted her from the bed. "You're supposed to be my friends." Jill shrieked again as Justin led her to the bathroom and Ruth opened the doors in front of her. Ruth turned on the shower and Justin dropped her into the shower still in her pyjammas. "Why, my jammies are all wet now."

Justin couldn't stop laughing as he placed his arm around Ruth, "If you would only get up without the arsing about there would never be a problem." Justin shut the bathroom door to the sound of Jill whining as he followed Ruth to the kitchen to make some breakfast for Jill. Jill quickly showered and dressed. She dried her hair and was so happy to have managed to get it cut and coloured just yesterday so at least she had decent hair. She packed the last couple of things into her backpack and made sure she had her Ipod and mobile charger before she brought her stuff out and dumped it in the hallway.

"Quick Jill, breakfast is ready and I've cooked your favourite." Ruth said poking her head out of the kitchen. Jill couldn't help but smile at Ruth, she truly was a brilliant friend. Both Ruth and Justin had gone to such lengths including getting up at some ungodly hour to make her breakfast before she left. Jill walked in to see Ruth had made her scrambled eggs on toast with the biggest glass of orange juice. "Wow Ruth, this smells and looks fantastic."

"Gotta make sure you have a good breakfast before you go." Ruth responded smiling down like a mother watching over her children as they eagerly ate their breakfast. "I've packed you some sandwiches and stuff and I've put some wee things into your backpack."

Jill looked over to Justin, "Did she do this with you too when you left for Germany?"

Justin looked back at her, "Yep and it was fabulous."

Jill stood up and walked over to where Ruth was now sitting and gave her the biggest hug, "I love you, you dafty. You do know that they will feed me from time to time."

"I know they will but I know how bad you can be for forgetting to eat so now you have no excuse." Ruth responded.

Jill finished her breakfast and helped Ruth to clean up the kitchen. "Well I better be going to catch my train." Jill said wringoing out the cloth and giving the table one last wipe.

"You want me to drive you to the station?"Justin asked.

Jill shook her head,"No I'll be alright and the walk will do me good."

"You sure?" Ruth asked.

"Definitely, now I'll just go brush my teeth and I'll get going." Jill told them both.

Jill re-entered the hallway and pulled the backpack on to her back with the help of Justin.
Both Justin and Ruth gave her a hug, she started to feel like a student on their first trip away from Mum and Dad.

"Take care of yourself Jill and make sure you watch that Bob." Ruth practically whispered into her ear as she hugged Jill.

"I will and don't worry about that." Jill whispered back, "See you both next week and i promise to phone."

"You do that, I don't just want random blogs floating through." Ruth responded.

Jill eventually managed to escape and she quickly walked towards the train station. The station was busy with commuters as she battled through them to reach her train.

Jill sat on the train impatiently waiting for it to finally start moving, she was soon distracted by the sound of a text message coming through. She didn't recognise the number as she clicked it.

"Morning, Frank here. Hope ur eager to get going & we'r al lking 4ward to u joing us. A car wil mt u at the station. Fone me if u hav any problms."

Frank was always so nice to her and she quickly sent him a text back thanking him for the lift and confirming she couldn't wait to meet up with them again. As the train pulled out of the station Jill knew there was no turning back now and at last she let all her worries disappear as she look forward to an absolutely mad week in front of her.
