Nadia couldn't put into words how relieved she was to see that nothing had happened between them both. Sure, she loved Katie, but not in that way. She watched the tape until it eventually came to them both waking up, she turned the TV off before it reached her reaction, embarrassed to watch over it again. She just hoped everything could go back to normal now, she was tired of feeling awkward and wanted to start enjoying herself again.

She sat down next to Katie and sighed, "Are you okay? Look, nothing happened and we can go back to normal now, right?" At least, that's what she hoped. She apologised to Katie for losing her temper earlier and hoped she understood why, still, she thought it was best to make sure Katie understood. "I am sorry you know, I just didn't realise at the time... it was a lot to take in."

Boots jumped up onto Nadia's lap, staying away from them both before as if she sensed there was something wrong between them.

Nadia stroked Boots and then looked over at Katie, sensing that there was still an awkwardness between them. She sighed, hoping things would have gone back to normal by now. She understood why they weren't though, she'd probably feel the same if she was Katie, it was still embarrassing for her as well. That was more of the reason why she wanted to just forget about it all instead of dwelling on it.

"It's fine," she simply said, she knew Katie wanted to keep her distance right now, talking over it all again and trying to reassure her would probably only make her feel even more embarrassed. Nadia finished off the rest of the lukewarm coffee in her cup and as Nadia went to stand, Boots jumped off of her lap. "I'm gonna go get chanced and tidy my room, it's a mess..."

She quickly hurried off down the hallway and into her room, knowing Katie probably wanted some space right now.

Nadia sat up in bed as she stared down at her phone, she knew nothing happened between herself and Katie the other night, but she couldn't help but feel nervous. Her relationship with Ryan meant the world to her, she just hoped he'd find the funny side of things instead of getting angry with her. She picked her phone up and went to call him, before putting the phone back down and sighing. She knew she was gonna have to call him eventually, the worst part of it all were these moments before, trying to gather up the courage to tell him everything.

Boots jumped on her bed and a small smile appeared on Nadia's face, she grabbed her and held her close. With Katie too embarrassed to talk to her right now, it felt like Boots was really the only friend she had who wanted to be around her. She shook her head at how ridiculous this whole situation was, before reaching down to her phone and selecting Ryan on her contacts. She pressed call.

The ringing sound felt like it lasted for an eternity as she waited for him to pick up. In a way, she didn't want it to end. What if Ryan did get mad at her about this? She laughed to herself, things couldn't get much worse, but even if they could, she was about to find out.

As Ryan answered his phone, Nadia's stomach churned with a mix of nerves and also excitement to hear his voice. Nadia had him on loudspeaker and once Ryan spoke, Boots's ears sprang up, knowing who it was, she sniffed Nadia's mobile eagerly and wagged her tail, Nadia giggling at her response. "Hey you," she said still laughing, "Boots just heard your voice, she's going crazy."

Nadia pulled the covers up slightly and Boots sat down on her lap, Nadia stroked her with one hand, her other holding the phone, she knew it was best to get this over and done with. Normally these chats were supposed to be enjoyable, telling each other tour stories and the sort, this one was the kinda tour story that shouldn't have even happened. She sighed, "I know you're probably eager to hear what's going on, so I might as well just get it over and done with."

Her heart pounded against her chest, still nervous about how he'd react. The words flowed slowly out of her mouth, as if she didn't really want to say it, feeling herself blush a little. "Well... the other night, me and Katie had a lot to drink and, erm... we... slept together." She paused, before rushing out, "Oh, not slept together in... you know, that way. Slept together as in we slept in the same bed. We didn't have sex. But we were drunk and both naked and... oh fuck, I'm dying with embarrassment here."

She put her hand over her face and sighed, "Please don't hate me."

Nadia looked out of the window when Ryan spoke and sighed, as if she'd look out there and somehow see Ryan over in New York. She let out a quiet laugh, "Damn, you got me! Of course I'm going crazy."

After she explained the situation, she felt her palms sweat and a dryness at the back of her throat. Explaining it all to him made her realise how stupid and careless she'd been, she had a show that very next day and she was stupid enough to let herself get in such a state. It was definitely unlike her, but there wasn't much she could do now. She remained silent as he told her it was fine, her eyes widened, surprised at his reaction. She was half expecting him to go insane at her, although she knew Ryan wasn't really that hot headed.

She bit her bottom lip and looked down as he continued to talk, feeling ashamed. It wasn't what he said that made her feel that way, it was more of her own guilt. "I wouldn't have done... that with her, I promise. She's my friend, I love you too much to hurt you like that," she gushed, not wanting him to feel even just a tad upset over the matter.

Nadia sighed, feeling that she had let him down in a way. He had his surgery coming up and she didn't want him to worry about anything else while she was away on tour. "I've been so, so stupid. I promise, I won't let anything like this happen again." She then let out a small laugh, "I'm never drinking again!"

Katie is sitting on the bus nervously twiddling her fingers. Sat with her legs crossed on the sofa, she appears to be staring out at nothing in particular, a vacant look of slight apprehension across her face; it's almost as if she feels there is something to be scared of, but is trying her utmost to meet it with a poker face-like expression.

After a few minutes of silence, she is startled by Nadia Berry walking into the living room area. Her heart jumps nervously and she snaps her head around to see who it is, almost fearing the worst. Seeing Nadia there, she suddenly feels better, allowing the sensation of blood returning to her pale white face to wash over it. If she had had any doubt before now, this had to be washing it all away; Katie was scared, and she doubted whether she was even hiding it anymore.

As far as she had been aware, the first two visits of Cassie Smith to the bus had gone well. Not only had the 18-year old seemed to be quite pleasant, almost as if she had just chosen to forget their grievances with each other over the last two years, but she also appeared to get on really well with Katie's son, her own stepson, Lucas. He was the only reason Cassie had come here to Japan, and only because her husband, the child's father, had apparently done a runner. Nonetheless, she had been pleasant, she had been sweet; almost overly so.

In Katie's mind, the truth had come out earlier in the day though, when Cassie had accused her of "getting her into trouble". She had done nothing wrong, and she wanted to scream it from the rooftops. But she was afraid. She had seen how often people in this industry could turn on her, and she was terrified that she was about to get the blame for something awful. She sighed idly as she sat on the sofa, almost resigned to her fate.

Looking up to Nadia at last, Katie tried to restore some semblance of normality to this strange situation, as if she didn't want her friend to feel to worried about her. Forcing a smile to spread across her face, she let out a long exhalation. "Hi Nad..." she began.

ooc: Ill reply asap. Got some government people here doing a survey lol

Katie stands outside the hotel with a piece of paper in her hand. She double checks the name that she was sent by Nadia's manager with the sign above the door of the building. She nods her head slowly and starts to walk towards the door of the hotel, nervous and scared as to what is going to be the outcome of her chat with Nadia. As she steps into the elevator, she takes a few seconds to reflect on the events of the past few days.

It had been a hard few days for Katie. The fight with Nadia had been a tough one to take, and she had said a lot in the heat of the moment that she didn't mean. She needed Nadia, and it upset her to think that she had called her bad names and basically degraded her considerable musical talent. It also struck her like a dagger in the chest to know that Nadia thought some of the nasty things she had called Katie. Not having her friend while she was here in Japan made it difficult for Katie, and she wanted to make things right.

All of a sudden, she was outside the hotel room door. Raising her fist, she gently knocked and waited.

As Katie stood outside the door of Nadia's hotel room, she felt nervous. Even after she had knocked the door it was all she could do to not just turn and run. Sure, Nadia was her best friend, but what was she supposed to say to her? After all they had said to each other night, she wondered momentarily if it were even possible for the two to mend their relationship, a thought which she banished from her mind only seconds later when she realised how much she loved Nadia, and needed her in her life. She felt sad just at that point. How could she have been such a bitch to a girl who had done so much to help her over the past year. She sighed and continued to wait.

Just then, Katie heard some movement inside the room, and the nerves intensified. She moved her hands to her head and quickly made sure her hair was all in place with her hands. She then plunged them into her pockets, along with the piece of paper which had led her here, and waited for the door to open. She could feel herself breathing heavily at that point, and she glanced down to see her chest heaving. It was all she could do not to burst into tears.

When the door was opened, Katie had hoped that she and Nadia would enact one of many apologetic scenes from a film. She wanted them both to burst into tears and just hug and forget everything. This wasn't a movie though, this was their real life, and it was not going to be that simple. Katie stood there in front of Nadia, but not looking up. She wanted her friend to speak, to say anything, but the words didn't come. In the top of her line of vision, Katie could make out that Nadia had stepped aside, and without looking up, she stepped inside the room, standing awkwardly in the centre and staring down at the carpet.

Katie stands there in the awkward silence. It had been a good few days now since she had even heard her friend's voice, and if truth be told, that made her feel sad. She stood in the middle of the room, he face pointing to the carpet, and her arms hanging hopelessly by her side as she just stayed still, acutely aware of how stupid she must look to Nadia at that time. She felt pathetic. All she wanted was to apologise, but she had already said sorry on Twitter on Friday, and it had seemed like that wasn't enough. But now that she was here, it was like the words wouldn't come. She tried to speak, but her voice felt like it was a million miles away, and her throat dried up. She continued to eye up the pattern on the rug below her feet.

When Nadia spoke though, it was as if Katie felt a rush of guilt overcome her. She had been responsible for the fight. Once again, a rumour about her had gotten out, and rather than just facing it head on, Katie had lied and said that it was untrue. The last time, she had lost Nicole and gained a broken arm. This time she was set to lose Nadia, and that made her feel a hundred times worse. So when she spoke, it made Katie's heart melt. She continued to look down at the floor, but her eyes welled up and she felt tears slowly fall from them. All she could do was nod, she could barely bring herself to speak at all.
