Stage tears and Apologizes

Chapter 23:

Alex's P.O.V.

Finally, I reached the hotel with my dad. The rest of my dad's band wasn't there.

"Are you hungry at all?" My dad asked as he walked through the door holding the few bags in from the car.

"Yeah, a bit." I replied.

"How bout I go get some McDonalds or something and you wait here and settle in?" He asked smiling.

"Yeah that would be nice." I have him a faint smile.

He took a deep breath.

"If you need anything.." He trailed off. "I'm always a phone call away."

"Thanks dad..really though, I'm fine." I laughed trying to lighten the mood.

He smiled, grabbed his wallet and gave me a light hug before leaving the hotel room.

I sat there on the bed staring at the wall in front of me for what felt like hours. Until my phone beeped from besides me.

I grunted and picked up the small object.

It was a tweet. It read.

"Hello fellow Orchids fans!

Don't miss the live UStream performance from the girls!

It's going to be epic!"

A concert? But I wasn't even there so there couldn't be a concert. Was Emily going to perform without me?

Only one way to find out. Apologizes

I pulled out my dads laptop and logged onto twitter and quickly found the U Stream link.

I waited for a couple minutes before Emily came on stage, guitar in hand.

She explains the hard time that were going through and how we are going on break for awhile.. And she thanks me.

She begins to sing one of my favorite songs "You Found Me" by The Fray.

"Lost and insecure,

You found me,

You found me,

Lying on the floor,

Surrounded, surrounded..

Why'd you have to wait?

Where were you?

Where were you?

Just a little late...

You found me,

You found me..."

I started to feel the stream of hot tears run down my face as my vision became blurred.

What was I even doing? Emily needs me? And I'm here feeling sorry for myself, running away from my problems.

The song ends and I can see tears in Emily's eyes begin to form. She says goodbye for the last time and walks off stage.

The U Stream goes offline and I'm sitting there with my head in my hands as I began to have a pounding headache.. I was crying to much.

I don't like to show emotion, especially not in front of people..because they might think I'm weak, an I wouldn't be able to make it in life.

I'm a big girl.. Stop crying, Stay Strong

I told myself.

I wiped away the last of my tears and picked up my phone scrolling through my contacts before I came across Emily's number. It rang a couples times before she finally answered.

"H-Hello?" She sniffed.

"Emily...I-I'm sorry."

"No, no don't be sorry! It's not your fault I pushed you too far." She told me.

"No. I shouldn't have just run from my problems from..Harry. I can't just run away when things get bad I need to be strong." I told her.

"You can't be strong all the time Alex.." She told me hesitantly.

"I know..." I whispered.

"When are you coming home?" She asked.

I didn't want to go back. What if Harry showed up randomly? But I miss Emily, and I miss my band.

"Soon, right now I just want to spend time with my dad." I told her. Well I haven't seen my dad in awhile so it would be nice to spend time with him.

"Okay, I understand." She said.

"Have you talked to.. You know.." I trailed off.

"Harry?" She asked. All my emotions came rushing up to the surface and I wanted to break out an cry. But I pushed my feelings back.

"Yeah...him." I said.

"He's here actually..he's talking to Louis here in the hotel room."

"Oh..." Is all I said.

My dad came in with the food, finally.

I smiled at him.

"Em, I have to go my dad just got here." I told her.

"Okay, so I'll talk to you later right?" She asked.

"Of course Em." I laughed.

"Good!" She said.

"Goodbye Emily!" I said.

"Good bye Alexxx!" She sang.

I hung up and smiled at my phone as a picture of me and Emily shower up.

"Talking to Emily again I presume?" He smiled handing me my food.

"Yeah.." I nodded. "Thanks."

"No problem, sweetie." He smiled.

We ate in silence as we watched The Big Bang Theory on TV.

I really missed my dad sometimes..

He was always my shoulder to cry on..

Which wasn't often.. But I can't always tell him everything.

Sometimes I wish I could have some "motherly advice" but we all know that's never going to happen.
