"We have arranged the dates so that you work 2 days and you are off one day, the last thing we need is for you guys to be burnt out. Besides you are going to be travelling the world and what fun is that if you only see the inside of hotel rooms" Molly and the boys were discussing the upcoming tour and she was winning points for the finalized tour schedule. "Any questions? No, great I will see you all bright and early tomorrow morning, now get some sleep because we have a full couple of months ahead of us" Molly ended the meeting and proceeded to make some calls to confirm that the new tour buses would be ready for the next day.
"She is awesome, I mean she really cares about us, that is cool" Nick and Brian were playing basketball and discussing the up coming tour. Nick and Brian were both very impressed with Molly and were looking forward to having her tour with them.
"She really is cool, I still would love to know why she hates D so much"
Brian said as he dunked the basketball.
"Who knows, now hand me the ball"

Molly was absorbed in some paperwork when she was interrupted by a knock on the door, she smiled when she saw AJ standing in the door "Yes Alex can I help you?"
"How many times do I have to tell you woman..it's AJ"
Molly cleared her throat and smiled "Okay AJ, what's up, I mean this is your last night in Orlando, shouldn't you be out terrorizing the female population"
"OUCH!!! Well I was going to invite you to come out with us but I am not
sure if I really want to now" AJ pretended to be hurt.
"I really can't AJ, I have so much to do"
"DO shmew...get dressed and D and I will pick you up at 8"
Molly's blood started to boil when she heard Howie's name "No seriously, I have lots to do, you and him go and have fun," Molly's voice was low.
AJ sensed that something was wrong but he didn’t want to push it, he had still yet to figure Molly out and he didn't want to risk pissing her off before the tour even started. "See you tomorrow then," and AJ walked out.
Molly took a deep breath and tried to calm down, the mere mention of Howie made her angry. She didn't know how she was going to survive touring with them.
~~**~~
"No D, she said she had too much to do, I tried." AJ was talking to his friend on the phone as he got dressed.
"Hmm..well she is a weird one, maybe she is just all worked up about the tour, see you in 10 Bone" Howie hung up and looked in the mirror as he fixed his hair. He was not used to people being mean to him. He always tried so hard to be pleasant to people and he was having a hard time figuring Molly out. It was like she didn't want to even try getting to know him. After three weeks with them, she had established a routine and had seemed to become close with Skylar and Kevin, the three of them spent a lot of time together, going clubbing and to movies. She and AJ had also established a closeness. She told him off and he came back for more. Howie pushed her out of his thoughts and grabbed his jacket and walked out of his apartment.

"Shit, packing for tours is the hardest thing, what the hell do I pack?"
Molly was looking at the clothes spread out all over her bed and she was having a hard time. "What the hell if I miss something I will just buy it when I am on tour" she threw the rest of her clothes into one of four suitcases and then walked into the kitchen to put on the kettle for tea. As she waited for the whistle of the kettle she sat cross legged on the counter and cut a slice of apple and muched on it, thinking back to the episode in her office, she knew that AJ was only trying to be nice to her but the minute he had mentioned Howie's name she saw red. Her thoughts brought her back to one of the many run ins with Howie "Hey Molly, my mom is baking cookies and she needs some lard, can you spare some from your ass?" she remembered choking back the tears as Howie and his friend laughed hysterically at her. Molly wiped the tears that were beginning to form in her eyes and the whistling of the kettle broke her away from the aweful thoughts.

The incessant ringing of Molly's bedside phone woke her from a sound sleep, she thrashed around trying to free herself from the tangle of sheets and she grabbed the phone. "Mmhello"
"Molly...it's AJ, what time is the bus leaving tomorrow, uh I mean today?" He sounded sloshed and judging from the loud music he was calling from a club.
"For Christ sake..AJ it is 3 am, be at the studio for 8!" Molly slammed
the
phone back into the cradle and pulled the covers over her head. This
tour
was going to be interesting.
