THIS IS US

Part 30

" Pick up pick up," I mutter as I try to contact Stacey, on something I told her to find out. It was related to Scarlett and her magazine. She is great at all of this stuff. I had asked her to find something for me, 3 days ago. I send her another text, telling her to call me. 

"Kay!!" I heard Josh's voice calling me from behind. I groan internally but turn slowly towards him and put a fake smile on my face. Josh has been a creep these past days, literally appearing near me out of nowhere and that was getting very scary. Even the boys noticed and asked me about and I told them the truth and they have been acting all ignorant towards him since then. I literally had to stop Rachel from killing him. 

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Need to talk to you." He says and I nod, gesturing him to continue but he suddenly grabs me by my elbow and pulls me to the side, so we can't be seen by other people. I quickly pulled myself out of his hold and glared at him.m

"Josh I swear to god, you do that one more time, I will fucking scream 'murder' and make sure you are kicked out. DON'T TOUCH ME." I warned him pointing my finger at him with my deathliest glare. He raises both his arms in surrender, trying to look apologetic and I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"To apologise, I know what was written in the magazine was not right and I am sure it hurt you." He said scratching the back of his neck and I narrow my eyes, not buying any of his words. 

"Again, what do you want?" I asked again as I crossed my arms and gave him my 'I am not buying bullshit' look.

He sighs and pulls some strands of his hair in clear frustration.

" Look Josh, yes it did hurt me a little. I mean, try having all your weaknesses and your insecurities printed about and then published to the world when you are still finding your way around them. And it is not just about me, I mean for sure I am confused about why I am involved in this but it is also about the boys, the crew members. They have been targetted too. The boys have done nothing to you guys. But you know what, do whatever you guys want to but remember that you people mess up more than this or even come near the people I care about and yes that also includes the crew, I will fucking ruin your life, literally." I said as I stepped a little closer to him, trying to prove my point. Before he could respond, I continued talking.

"Rachel is like my sister and nobody can hurt her, not on my watch. Lottie and Lou are really close to me and I care about them deeply, so yes watching this happen is not something I will leave. Jeff, Paul and the other members, they have been nothing but very accepting and warm and it hurts to see something this cheap put them down. And the boys? Josh, they are my best friends and they are at a peak point of their career all over again and you guys breaking them down, especially this way is very low, even for you. They are the most honest, true to themselves, down to earth, talented, kind-hearted, loving, strong people I have ever known. I know that they don't show it but you hurt them, Josh. You really did, this is not the kind the welcome they deserve on getting back with their best friends and not just a band. But you know what, I know you guys think that this step that is been taken is good for you, trust me, honey, it's not. If it's not me or anyone else, it is the fans that are going to kill you guys. They will end anyone who hurts their boys. All of them are a family, Josh and that includes the fans, the boys and all the crew members. Always remember, never mess with a family." I ended and pushed him away before walking past him to get to my room but I see everyone was standing there as soon as I take a turn. 

 Lottie and Lou looked a little emotional but were smiling widely. Rachel was beside them with a small smile on her face and a proud look. Harry and Niall had goofy smiles on their faces. Liam had a sincere smile and a grateful look. Louis had an ear to ear smile making him look cute and his eyes showed his adoration which made me blush slightly.
