Kingdom Of Cards chpt 4 N.S. story Bad Omens

Say something

Eleanor's POV
"It's Okay, Noah. I'm not mad, just worried. Are you sure you're alright? You sound upset." I asked as Noah finally returned my call. "Yeah, I'm sorry baby. I fell asleep for a few hours then woke up and saw your text. I know I scared you and I fell really bad about it." Noah explains as I lied on our bed feeling quite lonely tonight. "I know babe, really it's alright. I just wanted to hear your voice. I miss you so much already." I said smiling, just picturing his handsome face. "I miss you like crazy, Ellie. I really miss you. " I could hear the emotions in his voice as each word leaves his mouth with sadness surrounding them. "Noah, baby what's wrong?" I questioned sitting up a little straighter. "I'm fine, honey.
How's things going at the house?" He asked changing the subject.
"Things are good. The boys are good and Amanda's helping me out tonight.... So things are ok here. What's going on by you?" I wonder as I hear Noah take a deep breath in then out. "Ugh, good. The boys are with me on the bus so, we're gonna start the show in two days. Nothing real exciting to be honest. " he sounded sad, like he was so lost. "Yeah? You sure you're Okay? You seem so sad." I know Noah better now then ever, but he can really be hard to read sometimes. "I'm just... I miss you, the kids, the dog, and italy. I really didn't want to go back on tour till later this year but Matt did it anyway so... I don't know what to say about it, ya know? " I nodded then said "I could understand why you'd feel this way. " I really worry about him.
"I gotta go talk to Brain baby girl, but I'm gonna call you tomorrow on time Okay? " I nod then look at the clock.
12:45a.m. read across the screen.
"Sounds good honey. I love you and wil talk to you tomorrow, okay? "
"I look forward to it, babe. Love you too, Eleanor." A slight chuckle leaves my mouth before we said Goodnight...

TWO DAYS LATER
Noah's POV
"I can't wait to get back out there! How about you, Noah? " Will Ramos of Lorna Shore asks me as we walk side by side towards an enormous hotel in Orlando Florida. "The crowds are the best part of the whole thing ya know? I'm just really missing the fam." He nods with a sad smile as Jesse, Matt, Brian, and some of our security team hold back screaming girls and some wild fans of ours. I was happy to see them and they clearly were about us too. The fans are the best part of the entire tour because of the... I guess what you'd call 'Magic' they bring when we sing our hearts out to each other. It's a beautiful moment that I'll never forget.

My thoughts were broke when a girl ran up and grabbed my arm. "NOAH I LOVE YOU!" she screams as Brian quickly pulls her off me and encourages Will and I to keep moving.
The rest of Bad Omens is further back, so I'll meet them upstairs.  "NOAH! NOAH- I LOVE YOU!-
NOAH? NOAH- NOAH I ADORE YOU EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE!" All these girls shout as Will and I quickly make it into the hotel. I didn't relize how big we've gotten until now. Before girls would smile at you and want pictures. now their screaming your name, physically grabbing you, acting like they'd die for you, and shout out many other words. It honestly was a little intimidating.

William and I watch out the window as the fans continue to scream. Meanwhile  the paparazzis take hundreds of photos as the guys eventually make it inside too. We all agreed to pay for separate rooms just so we could have some privacy before  the show....

I enter my room and toss my backpack onto the floor before walking to the bathroom. I shut the door and look at myself through the mirror. I was still was wearing a mask, not literally but inside .... I different. The man I'm seeing is this big rockstar who has it all. He's happy, rich, safe, healthy, never nervous or worried about anything and just takes the shots and they come, but he's a disguise. The real me is that same teenage boy I was years ago. I'm scared, sad, depressed, lonely, unhappy unless I'm with the right people (which is my family) weak, and use almost anything as a distraction. That's the kind of person I am. I'm not the man in front of me, I'm somebody else.

As my inner demons fight to be released from their cage, my phone rings. I look down towards my pocket and pull it out. My eyes scan the screen to see Eleanor's phone number across the screen. A small smile crawls onto my face as I answer the call.

"Hi Dad!" Sebastian says full of joy on the other line. "Hey buddy, God I miss you so much man! How are you doing? " I asked trying to sound happy. "Good! Mom's making a pie with Amanda. What are you doing, Dad?" He asked in excitement as I look back up to the mirror. "I actually just got back to a hotel. The guys and I are in Florida cause we have a show tonight. " I explained before leaving the bathroom. "Oh yeah, Dad you should go swimming!" I laugh while plopping down on the king sized bed.
"I would but we gotta to Georgia tomorrow night so I probably won't have time. We have a beach right down  the street though, buddy. You and mom should go sometime. "
"I'll ask her but I gotta go to school-
Oh Dad, mom wants to talk to you."
"Okay,you can put her on. Love ya buddy." I said as Sebastian puts Ellie on the line.

"Hey baby girl " I said lazily as she chuckles. "Hey honey, how's everything? " she asks sweetly while moving something due to the background noise. "I'm just chilling in my room till we have to head out, ya know me." I kinda laughed.  "I'm glad you guys made it to Florida, I know you just wanted to sleep." I talked to Ellie for a while the past two days before the concerts so she's aware of everything. "Yeah, but it's great to hear your beautiful voice. I miss it. " I said sleepily as she laughs. "I love hearing yours too, Noah. I'll let you go and get some sleep. I can hear it in your voice, but call when you get the chance ok baby? " I nodded while bringing my phone towards my face to read a text message. "Sounds good, babe. You and kids be safe and I love all of you." I said opening the text message link. "Sure babe, okay love you, bye" we then hung up.

It was great to hear their voices, but what wasn't so great was a text message I got from Phil....
