[Shane] No Sense In Hiding

[Claire Jayne Madden]

-- is calling Shane --

[Shane Alexander Madden]

--Answer's the call--

Hey i was just about to call you. you look like you had a good rehearsal. --drinking a beer-- what's up?

[Claire Jayne Madden]

Yeah, it was productive.. Anyways. Drinking. Really?

Whatever. So guess who's dating?"

[Shane Alexander Madden]

*laughs* one beer isn't going to kill me, why not?

i can't imagine who, enlighten me.

[Claire Jayne Madden]

Very funny. Is that your first beer?

Ethan and Natalia.. which is whatever. I AM happy for them. They like each other, so why not?

[Shane Alexander Madden]

It IS my first beer of the night actually.

Well yeah, why not. People who like each other date all the time. But that's not the problem, is it? Because I DID just watch them lie to you for the past hour. I'm sure they didn't want to tell you in the chat...

[Claire Jayne Madden]

That's what they said. I told her that I didn't like that they lied to me directly and they did say it was wrong. And she apologized. So I can't really be mad about it.

I just kind of hate feeling like people think I'm a villian. Maybe they don't, but it feels that way..

And now that I'm moved out no one makes me dinner anymore and I'm starving.

[Shane Alexander Madden]

Well you CAN be mad about it, it's more a matter of is it worth being mad about it.

You're not a villain, you're just having differences. It happens. People change i guess.

Where's that room mate of yours? Are you telling me he doesn't cook you gourmet meals, no frozen grapes on a platter? *laughs*

[Claire Jayne Madden]

Kyle's been working late a lot lately. Don't make fun of my frozen grapes thank you very much... you want to mock my eating habits? You'd be happy with taco bell all day , every day.

Excuse me for wanting to be healthy. I didn't see you complaining about my body before.

Yeah, I just don't care anymore. I sort of feel detached from a lot of my life lately. Come home.

[Shane Alexander Madden]

Hey hey, there's nothing wrong with Taco Bell in moderation. And no, I wasn't complaining, nor am I now... *grins* ... you are entitled to whatever food you want.

You know I would if I could... but at the same time, there's so much I like about touring. Like seeing fans... playing live. Best part about my job. I'll be home soon, it'll go by fast.

[Claire Jayne Madden]

Your fans are psycho. And possessive. And slutty.

I could have my own fans. You'd be number one.

There isn't anything...in particular.. that you miss about home? That's worth coming home for?

[Shane Alexander Madden]

*laughs* that they are... but they like our music and for that I can't complain.

I'd be your number one fan? Only if I get to write you fan mail.

Well, there is a few things I miss about home. Not the traffic. That's for sure. But yeah I think there's something worth coming home for. I mean, I hope that something hoped I was something coming home for.

[Claire Jayne Madden]

Yeah, Ryan is just as excited to see you, too. No one else cares. You can stay on tour for as long as I care.

So did you talk to Ethan about us doing the dirty? You didn't tell him it was more than once did you?

[Shane Alexander Madden]

Right, Ryan. Yeah, I miss him more than anyone.

*laughs, drops head in hands, shakes head, blahblah, looks back up* Yeah he asked me, I told him it was true. I didn't give anymore details then that. Look I've always been honest with Ethan about you, I'm not gonna change now. But he only needs to know what he asks.

[Claire Jayne Madden]

I feel exactly the same way. There's enough lies going around anyways. I'm sure Ryan misses you, too. And I haven't talked to Ethan a lot lately but I can say with absolute certainty that he'd be glad you're being honest with him. As much as he might not want to hear it.

But other than everything, how's tour going? You and Zack still secret lovers? Apparently you and I aren't so secret anymore... But I swear to God, you tell anyone I sort of like you and I'll kick you in the junk.
