Chemical Love (Craig Mabbitt Fanfic)

Chapter 7

*TJ’s POV*

Goddamn. I ran off following Robert and calling his name. Of course he didn’t stop. I texted Emily, Anastasia and the guys where I was and where Robert was heading. Maybe we could corner him and stop him. Robert turned a corner. When I followed his path I saw Kevin trying to calm him down. Robert stopped trying to run and fell to his knees, probably from exhaustion.

*Robert’s POV*

I can’t run anymore. What’s the point? They’ll find one way or another to stop me. I looked up just as Craig and girls walked over.

‘Dude? What the hell?!’ Craig said out of breath. I shook my head not wanting to talk.

‘Robert, you have to tell us what’s going on,’ Emily said soothingly, bending down to face me. I shook my head again but spoke up this time.

‘My girlfriend, Juliet. She’s pregnant,’ they all looked confused until I kept going, ‘and it’s not mine…she cheated on me…’ understanding washed over their faces as I explained.

‘Wait, then why did you say you’re not going back to the bus? You can still play can’t you?’ TJ asked, confused again. I sighed.

‘She told me that she’s going to be at the next venue to talk to me. I can’t face her now dude! She meant everything to me! I was gonna propose! Then she does this shit!?’ Anastasia looked sympathetic before speaking up for the first time in a while.

‘We won’t let her go near you. We won’t even let her in the venue, you won’t see her. I promise,’ she gave me a small smile and I returned it.

‘Thanks guys,’ I got up, off my knees and dusted myself off.

‘Well, we should get back to the bus. We leave in half an hour,’ Craig checked the time as we all nodded. We walked back, I lagged behind a bit. I needed to think. I really hope I don’t see Juliet at the next venue.

*Next morning, Anastasia’s POV*

Poor Robert. I can’t believe that Juliet bitch! I scowled to myself at the thought and rolled out of my bunk. THUD. Shit, I forgot I had a middle bunk. I got off the floor and walked to the kitchen area. I flinched when I saw who was standing in front of the fridge. Max. What the fuck is he doing on here? At 9 in the morning?! No one else was awake.

‘Craig invited me. But I guess I came over too early,’ he said as if he read my thoughts. I nodded not knowing what to say. I made myself a cup of tea. I hate coffee. I sat on the couch sipping my hot beverage when Max bounced down next to me. I glared at him because he made me spill my drink all over myself. He just grinned innocently back. I rolled my eyes and flicked him on the forehead.

‘Can you get me a cloth so I can clean this up asshole? I don’t want it going on the carpet,’ it was his turn to roll his eyes. He walked back to the kitchen area and threw a cloth at me. Just as I had cleaned myself up, he decides to throw himself onto the couch again. Spilling my hot tea on myself…again.

‘Motherfucker,’ I mumbled under my breath. He must have heard it because he laughed.

‘Sorry. Anastasia, right?’ I nodded, placing the cloth on the table in front of me. Kevin walked out of the bunks a moment later but paused when he saw Max.

‘Apparently Craig invited him,’ I explained.

‘I invited who?’ Craig asked walking in and rubbing his eyes. I looked at Max with an eyebrow raised.

‘OK, maybe I wasn’t invited, but does it really matter?’

‘How did you get on? The door was locked…’ I asked him. He pulled a bobby pin out of his hair showing us. Again, I raised an eyebrow at him.

‘You have that why?’ Craig asked mirroring my expression. Max just shrugged and put it back. Kevin and I rolled our eyes. This happens too much for it to not be creepy. I stood up and went in the direction of the bunks as Max tried to trip me. He failed but I fell on purpose, pulling him with me. He hit his head on the corner of the table on the way down. I laughed and stood up again. I heard him mumble an insult at me as I walked into the bunks. I flipped him off not turning around.

 I love being a bitch.

I ripped open Emily bunk curtain but she wasn’t there. I then heard a giggle coming from Robert’s bunk and ripped opened his curtain.

‘What. The. Fuck?!’

~Yes. Another cliffhanger, I know. But, it's kinda fun leaving them like this. It's a cliffhanger for me too. Anyway, thank you guys so much for reading! 69 reads so far (lol). Comment and vote!~
