Waiting For You // sequel to N&F

Chapter 3

Today we were in Central Park and we've already met a bunch of fans, and we were heading to the DigiFest to say hey to some people. The jacks, Emily Glazer, Mallory, and Kenny Holland were gonna be there so when we arrived, they let us in and we just waited backstage.

When I saw Gilinsky, I screamed and hugged him. "EL! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER!" Johnson ran back and hugged us, because he heard G. "I really missed you guys, it's been so long." They hugged me tighter, and Emily and Mal came from a room and instantly run to me. "EL? WHAT THE HELL?" I laughed and hugged all of them. "SURPRISE!" I missed them so terribly bad.

"Have you talked to Sam lately?" I shook my head no. "I haven't seen him since the week before I left for school." All of their eyes widened, and then stood there awkwardly. "What?" Nate came down the stairs from the stage, and when he saw me, he engulfed me in a huge hug and we stayed that way for a while.

"What are you doing here El?" "I'm here to say hi to everyone, it's been awhile." A tear rolled down his cheek and I smiled. "Don't cry you big baby! It's just me!" He laughed but then teared up again. "I just missed you, you were my best friend and I haven't seen you in forever." I hugged him again and said, "Were?"

Nates face lit up, and he ran to the security and started talking to them. Okayy then... I went and I was about to sit down before Nate pulled on my arm.
"I want to show you something." I followed him, but I realized he was bringing me onstage. He was asking security if I could go on stage.
Son of a bitch Nate.

I waited until one of the performers finished, they were taking a picture with the crowd and posting it. Nate pushed me onto the stage, when the crowd of people started screaming. The guy who was on, his back was turned to me and he was on his phone. I looked back at Nate, and he was literally smiling like an idiot.

Nate yelled into his microphone, and this guy turned around. He saw me and froze, his face turning pale. We made eye contact, and I couldn't move. The screaming crowd became louder in reality, but in my head they became silent.

Once I was able to even move, I moved my hands up to my face, and I ran back off stage. I think the guy was following me, but I couldn't look back. I just couldn't. I ran until I got into my car, but of course Peyton had to lock it. Before I could even try to get in, I feel hands pulling me against them.

I was crying I was choking on my own words.
"S-Sam, I can't." He turned me around and I couldn't dare look into his eyes. Sam was the guy. "Shh, El, it's me. Please don't cry-"

"How can I n-not cry Sam!? Y-you left me s-standing th-ere like I was n-nothing!" He looked at me with sorrow and he pulled my face up to his. "El, look at me." I slowly looked him into his eyes, his brown chocolate eyes that I fell in love with so many years ago.

"I knew I would see you again El." I moved his arms away from me and I tried to run off, but he stopped me. "I can't do this now Sam, this is too much." He pulled me right into his arms. "El, it's just me. Please," "No I cant, not now."

I ran off, calling a nearby taxi and instantly driving off to my apartment. Not already, Sam couldn't be here now. I couldn't face him, even though I just did, that was too much. I knew I was still in love with him. I should have never went to the damn DigiFest concert.
That went by in a flash, but it still happened. I walked into my apartment and Tarver was the first one to see my tear stained cheeks. He hugged me and asked, "What's wrong?" I shook my head, and he nodded.

He cuddled with me on the couch and he trusted me knowing that I'll tell him the situation later, and even though he didn't know what was going on, he was still there for me. Soon, Peyton and Max were joining us, and we all hung out. Peyton was the only one who knew what happened, but they respected my space.

I was just, shocked. Pissed off too, as to why he never called, I just don't know. I took my necklace off for the first time since 3 years ago, and I fell asleep watching MyScene with Peyton.
Man, was I confused.
