We're Classic Hysteria// Awsten Knight

37- God Keep My Head Above Water

-Aria's POV-

We still had a good 8 or 9 shows left, and Chris was acting super suspicious, so despite my instincts, I decided to confront him.

I managed to find out which bunk was his and went over.

"Hey, Chris. It's Aria, let me up there" I spoke and the curtain opened just enough for me to slide in.

"Okay, so I know there's something going on, just because you think I don't see you mouthing things to my dad doesn't mean I don't see it, so either tell me now, or tell everyone about it. Up to you." I spoke and he just looked at me before speaking

" So before the boys and I came back on tour, Ronnie's car was blown up, and the words 'traitor' was painted on the side of the house. Ronnie has her suspicions on who did it. But earlier when I mouthed to your dad it was because he was working on finding who did it.. And I mouthed to him because I received a note saying 'don't think i can't get to you too.'

He spoke and I became an amount of angry i didn't even know I had in me, but I kept my cool.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I spoke and he took a deep breath before speaking.

" Ronnie and i didn't want to worry you or anyone else. We thought we could handle it. But now i'm terrified because i'm putting everyone at risk because of a fucking mobster, being upset."

I took a deep breath, breaking this news was gonna be a shit show.

"Okay, so I hate to be that guy, but we still have 9 shows before you're allowed to leave. So we have to tell Lucas and Benji so we can get more security" I spoke, still trying to keep my cool, I could hear Awsten playing 21 Questions in the living area and was starting to worry.

' i know i've tried calling them but they won't answer my calls. I want to finish this tour"

I take another deep breath knowing that this was gonna be loud.

"LUCAS! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE" I scremed outside the bunk and withing moments he was outside the bunk.

"Okay, I solved that problem for you, now you solve the rest" I spoke, sliding out of the bunk to go check on Awsten who had been playing Lucky People and 21 Questions back to back for the last 30 minutes.

"Awsten, hey. Look at me" i spoke as I sat down next to him, wiping the tears off his face.

"What's wrong my love?" I spoke and he just set his guitar aside and layed on my lap.

"You miss her don't you?" I spoke and he nodded. I played with his hair, singing to him softly.

Geoff came over for seemingly the same reason I did.

"What happened?" He spoke and I just mouthed 'Gracie' to him and he got it.

"Okay, and what were you doing in Chris' bunk?" He spoke and I sighed.

"It's not really anyone else's business, just some security precautions, don't worry about it" I spoke and he just nodded, handing me his phone.

"I know you wanna see them, call her" He spoke and I clicked on Chloe's contact.

We talked for a while and I handed Geoff his phone back after Awsten had woken up and said hi to the kids.

"I hate not being around them" He spoke and I agreed, pulling down the sleeves of my sweater.

"What's wrong?" He spoke, looking right at me.

"Nothing, I'm just cold is all" I spoke and he looked at me like he thought I was lying but went with it anyways.

"Can you sing to me?" He spoke and I agreed. Grabbing his acoustic guitar.

I played him 'Head Above Water' by Avril Lavigne and it seemed to dawn on him that there was something else going on.

"You're not okay. Let me see" He spoke, grabbing my arms.

"Awsten, I'm fine, see" I spoke, rolling up my sleeves for him so he would calm down.

"You're gonna tell me if it gets that bad right?" he spoke and I agreed.

I didn't think it would get as bad as it did.
