Always There

Chap 9

Ericka's POV

Saturday came by and Alexis did not want to get out of bed. "Alexis, you gotta get out of bed," I said. "Or I will call Blake and have him get you out of bed." I looked at her. "Or I can tell Blake you're drowning yourself in your emotions."

"You wouldn't," Alexis sat up in bed, rather quickly.

"Have you met me?" I asked. "I would."

"Ugh, fine," Alexis said. "What do I wear?"

"I have your outfit picked out for you," I said holding up a garment bag. I unzipped it and got out a peach colored skater dress. "What do you think?"

"It's cute," she replied. "Did I even pack my peach colored high tops?"

"Yes, that's why I got you this dress," I smiled.

"Is she ready?" Britt asked.

"Not yet," I sighed. "Come on. Get up and get ready."

"Alright," Alexis said grabbing the dress. She took a shower, got dressed, did her makeup and hair, and made sure she looked good. She put on Blake's sports coat and grabbed her phone. "I'm ready now."

"Let's go," Brittany replied. We walked down to her car and she put the suitcases in the back. "Time to get this show on the road." We got into the car and drove to the location of the concert. "We're here."

"Why's it so crowded?" Alexis asked. We saw people in After Romeo merch and I looked at Brittany with the this is a big mistake look. "Wait, are we at their concert?"

"It was supposed to be a surprise until we got inside," I replied. "I guess that didn't happen."

"What are we waiting for then?" Alexis asked. "Let's go." We walked inside and made our way to the front. "I wanna see my bae."

"You really wanna risk saying that in public?" Brittany asked.

"Well, why not?" Alexis asked.

"Because it's not wise for it to be the first thing you say," I replied looking around at the fans. "Well, he did post it on instagram and real fans should just be happy that he's happy."

"AMEN!" Brittany replied.

"Excuse me, are you the girl Blake kissed that he posted on his instagram a couple days ago?" asked a girl.

"He posted that?" Alexis asked. She looked through her phone. "Oh my god. He did...Ericka."

"He tagged you in it," I smiled. "Thought you would've seen it by now."

"I've been drowned in my emotions and you guys took me on a big goose chase around the city all week," Alexis replied. "I barely had time to stop in one place long enough to check my phone." Alexis looked at the girl. "But yes that's me."

"Are you and him like...together?" she asked.

"Did you not read the caption?" I asked. "Hashtag bae!"

"It's too late to hide anything now," Alexis replied. "And it's only been four days."

"With at least two thousand likes," I added. "So, most of the fandom has seen it."

"Curse the world of social media," Alexis sighed. "But this is why I wanted to keep it a secret until Conrad's video comes out."

"That's like a month," Brittany replied.

Alexis' phone beeped and looked at us. "Actually, it's today," she responded showing us her phone. "He just sent the e-mail with the link." Her phone rang. "It's Blake."
