as soon as i seen katie walking into the mall i knew something was wrong, i watched as she walked up to me and threw her arms round me" hey what's happened" i asked keeping her close, "i tried to message this max and let him know that i'm not his daughter and look" katie said handing me her phone, as i looked i seen all the messages, "wow okay so number one you are safe we're all here we're not leaving you number two, i'm sending this to lauren and the others so they know" i said looking at katie who looked calmer, "iv sent it to the group chat but not all of them" katie said i could feel more people coming closer and looked up, i seen everyone even lauren's sister taylor was here, "does everyone here know" i asked watching everyone nod, "taylor doesn't yet mani"katie said looking worried, "wait what's happened now"taylor asked coming closer to me, i passed her katie's phone and watched her read the messages, " wait max as in demi's fiancé" another girl asked, emlyn looked at us " on these are my friends stela and keira" she said smiling, "max is well known amongst all fandoms as a full drama boyfriend, i don't know why or how demi got with him but, he's not worth feeling this scared over honestly he's dumb as hell, and most of the fans know it and hate him" keira said looking at katie, i felt katie relax and let go of me.
