Hold On Forever (Asking Alexandria) ON HOLD.

Chapter 4

It wasn't long before Cassie's sister had to go out, she had mentioned something about going to a friend's for the afternoon, and told Cassie to ring or text her if she planned on staying out for the night, which Ben had already prossumed she would anyway in his head. They were alone in the normal sized living room, which had two brown modern-ish sofa's located in it. There was a large flat screen TV above the fireplace, which was attached to the wall opposite them. All of a sudden Cassie didn't feel so confident anymore, she looked down to her lap, clutching her phone in her sweaty palm. It was as if somehow reality had hit her and she had realised who she was actually with. 

'Are you okay?' Ben asked, noticing her sudden change of character, sitting back on the sofa like he was right at home.

Cassie nodded, unsure of what excuse she could use. There was still a good half an hour before the rest of the band would be here to come and get them , and she wasn't used to being a host and having guests around.

Ben sat up properly, moving closer towards Cassie, concerned for her, he wrapped an arm around her waist, realising how tense she was, 'come on, I know something's up' he said quietly. Cassie shook her head, feeling like an idiot, she didn't want to lie to him, 'I still just can't believe I've met you I suppose, it seems weird, knowing I've been a fan for years and obsessed with you all and now you're sat in my little house, helping me get ready to go to one of your gigs, when all I am is just another fangirl'

He chuckled, cupping the side of her pale face, causing her to look up at him and blush, 'but you're not just another fangirl are you?' he smirked. The doorbell went and Ben stood up, she just sat there, confused, 'is it time already?' she frowned, standing up as well, 'no' Ben said, 'they're just early, you're ready yeah?'

She nodded, and they both began walking towards the front door. Cassie locked the door behind her, turning around to see the bus, her heart began pounding. She wished she could be as confident as she was when it was just her and Ben, she wished she could be like that with all of them, but right now it seemed so impossible. Wouldn't you be nervous and on-edge if you were hanging around with your favourite band? Cassie was always afraid they wouldn't like her, even though she had had some deep conversations with Ben, he knew a lot about her, and it was clear he didn't plan on leaving.

They climbed the bus, all the members very welcoming to her again. There were a few other people on the bus with them already, Cassie didn't recognize any of them at all, prossuming they were all just friends of the band, hoping they weren't another band otherwise she would've felt guilty for not knowing who they were.

'This is Cassie' Ben introduced Cassie to the others, 'and these lot are just some fucking weirdo's who follow us about on tour, also known as Chris, Sean, Dave and Adam, but Adam's a photographer as well so he's alright'

Cassie smiled shyly at them, worried what they'd think about her. Was she just another girl? Someone Ben had picked up last night for a quick shag? Or was she a long lost friend Ben had never mentioned before? All her worries were wrong though, because Ben had mentioned her before, they all knew who she was, she didn't know that though. 

Sitting beside Ben, Cassie kept her mouth shut. The bus started moving and they were all heading towards the next venue, Bristol. Cassie had been there before, it wasn't far from here, but it was still a distance away. She was excited but nervous at the same time, she could sense the eyes on her but was too afraid to look up.

I'm such an idiot, Cassie thought, why am I even here?
