Being Brad's Sister

Alexia's pov

The Vamps are going to be extremely busy over the next week or two so I guess it is going to be another one of those phases where I barely see Brad. I'm not going to see James either sadly. It's their job so I can't really moan can I?

Dean has finished editing the video so Joe and the guys are going to watch it today. Hopefully they will like it so that will be one task sorted. There has been some sort of technological fault or something and their album has been deleted along with a few other artist's work. So they will have to record it all again.

I decide to go out shopping berceuse I haven't gone shopping for a while and I could do with some new clothes, maybe a pair of shoes or two. I'm not a massive shopper but when I do go I find it relaxing.

"Emma can I see you please." Dad says when he sees me walk past his room. I go inside and sit opposite him.

"What's up."

"Just wanted a little dad-daughter talk."

"Okay seriously." I laugh.

"What is happening? I know Brad's situation but what is happening with you. You've officially finished college now. Are you going to uni? Starting work?"

"I am having a gap year I guess and I'm going to figure out what I am doing in that year. I told Zoey I would at least giving singing a shot so I might do that because it is a passion and I don't want to dance so singing is the only other thing I am interested in."

"Okay well I'm here for support you know that. You brother and friends will support you in whatever you chose."

"I know." I smile before standing up and leaving the room. I think I know what to do today other than shopping. I grab my bank card and bus pass before leaving the house. First stop town centre.

---

The bus journey was long and annoying it felt like it was taking ages even though it took about half an hour. I'm finally in town thankfully.

I head towards Primark, with my head phones in I think about what I am going to do.

When I was part of Trio Trouble we made a pact to dance with each other and not with others because we only felt comfortable dancing with each other unless you are making a career from it. I'm not going to dance as a career now and the other passion us singing.

Before Zoey left she told me to carry on singing and follow in Brad's footsteps. When I was younger I would always tell Brad that I am going to beat him in the charts. I wouldn't mind singing as a career but I want to do it by myself and not because I am 'Brad from The Vamps' sister'. I just want people to enjoy my music because of what music is not because of who I am.

As a result I've decided that I am going to start a YouTube channel and I am going to try it that way. If that goes well then I might try The X Factor or something to help but again I will not be bragging about being Brad's sister.

I see a really nice top so I rummage through to see if they have my size. I cheer inside when I spot my size picking it off the rail and dropping the shirt into my basket. A leather jacket catches my eye so I run to it like a kid running to a pile of free candy. It is beautiful. I find my size and place it in my basket along with the shirt.

My phone rings so I move out of the way of other customers while I check my phone.

That shirt was ugly and that jacket is so not you get some taste

Well then. That is rude. I look around too see if I can spot anyone I know in case it is a joke but I don't see anyone.

To: Emma
From: Unknown
That is right I'm in the same shop as you. I only want one thing Emma and you know what that is.

I look at my phone in confusion. They want one thing and I know what it is. Well if I knew who the person was then I might be able to tell you what they want but something tells me that this isn't someone playing a prank on me.

I shove my phone into my pocket and carry on looking around at the clothes while sneakily trying to spot if anyone is watching me. Feeling very self conscious I move to another section of the shop with more clothes.

To: Emma
From: Unknown
Have you figure out what is it that I want yet? No? James. You have James but not for long I will do what I can to make him mine.

What on earth? Who is this person and who do they think they are threatening me? They have a nerve. Just wait till I tell the guys about this.

To: Emma
From: Unknown
Don't tell anyone or people will get hurt I have contacts

How are they doing that? It is freaking me out! I don't want anyone to get hurt! There again who says this isn't just a threat and they won't actually carry it through.

I decide to get out of Primark as quickly as possible so I make my way to the queue and wait. It is going down fairly quickly as there are five people on the tills.

After paying for my items I leave the shop and go back home forgetting about everything else that I wanted to do. Someone is stalking me and threatening me and I want to know who. All I know is I can't tell anyone just in case what they are saying is true.

I don't want to loose James but it looks like I may have to, to stop people getting hurt. But there is still no proof that the person is going to hurt somebody. I don't know what to do! I should just ignore the texts shouldn't I, that would be the sensible things to do, just ignore the texts and nothing will happen.

I hope nothing happens.
