Blast From The Past

Jared's Weird Plan

The girls wake me up by gently shaking me. I open my eyes to find them stood all around my bed, staring at me. They look nervous. "What's going on?" Is all I can muster whilst still sleepily. I watch as they each sit themselves down. Nikki holds out her phone to me. I take it from her. "What are you showing me?" I ask. My eyes widen as I read 'New Kids Orgies.' I gasp, as I read the article in full. "I guess the papz from last night had something to do with this. I'm sorry, this is my fault." Sophie avoids my gaze. I take her hand in mine. "Sophie, this is no one's fault. They shouldn't believe everything they hear. It's on them, the papz. This is embarrassing though." I give myself a moment to fully wake up.
After having a shower and some food which I only just about tolerated before I started feeling sick due to the hangover I was currently nursing.
How on earth am I going to be able to face Joe and his bandmates after this? I groan into my hands. It's later on in the day and we're leaving the hotel to travel back home. Well my plan was to go back home but after discussing with the girls, we all agreed that I should go to join Joe before it gets harder to face him. So after a few hours of shopping for clothes, makeup and cosmetics, the girls book my plane tickets for me whilst I packed.

As I step out of the hotel, we're swarmed by the paparazzi who are flashing their cameras and hurling various questions at me. "Is it true?" - "are you having a polyamory affair with all of the band?" - "when are you going to see them?" The questions went on and on. It got to the point where I find myself stopping in the street and I take a deep breath. "Please just leave me alone." The girls step around me to shelter me from all of the lenses and I put on my sunglasses even though it's probably too late by now. We get to the car park which is a multi story so we wait for other cars to make their way to the exit and drive in between them. Hopefully we'll lose track of the papz. "I'm sorry girls." Sophie is next to me in the back seat. She wraps her arms around me. "No need to be sorry. I guess this is just a part of dating a celebrity even though it sucks. You okay?" I nod. "Could you imagine if they ever found out about my history with Donnie?! They'd have a field day! These gangbang rumours will never lay to rest." I clench my fists. "Well you'll soon be in lover boy's hands and he can help sort it out, or help find ways to ease this tensed shoulders of yours." Sophie reassures me. We chat until we get to the airport. I make sure I give each girl the biggest squishiest hug I can before I have to go to check in. As this is a surprise, I call Jared to make sure that I've booked to fly to the correct location. Jared is the band's manager and he's lovely. He was happy to help the girls with booking my plane tickets.
I drag my bags to the pickup point outside the airport and I'm greeted by my personal driver that Jared has arranged for me. Nerves sink in as we pull up outside the arena. I quickly check the time and it's the in afternoon now. I go to pay but seems like Jared has sorted this out too. I thank the driver as he unloads my bags onto the pavement. I call Jared to alert my arrival and he tells me to wait here by the main gate where the band and crew enter the premises. "Hey, good to see you Katee. Joey is going to be stoked that you're here. Let's go."

He asks which bags are the heaviest to which I point to then he picks them up. "So he has no idea that I'm here?" He chuckles. "Nope! When we all saw what was written in the articles, we, he especially has been really worried about you and was feeling guilty that he couldn't just go to you so the fact that you've come to him will mean the world to him. I'll go ahead and you slowly walk behind me, don't say anything and stand there til he notices you." We exchange smiles. "Hang on, I'll make a weird noise for you to come into the room when they're not looking so that'll be more of a surprise for Joe." He says. I giggle to myself.
I'm waiting outside the dressing room waiting for a weird noise, as I hear Jared address to the guys. As soon as I heard the weird noise, I slowly enter the room. The guys have got their backs to me. I glance around the room. Donnie and Danny are not in front of me but I can hear their voices so they must be in an adjacent room talking. Jordan is the first one to notice me. His eyes widen. I notice as he pokes Joe in the shoulder. "Bro, erm..." Jordan stumbles. I signal to him not say anything. Finally Joe turns around and I don't think he realises that I'm actually here at first. Jon goes over to him. "Are you just gonna stand there like a lemon or what?!" He too pokes him in the opposite shoulder.

Joe crosses the few steps to me and embraces me in his arms. "Oh my gosh, you're actually here!! I can't believe it baby, I'm not just dreaming this am I??" I giggle. "No, I'm really here. I really needed to be with you." He pulls himself back slightly so he can properly gaze at me. Then he leans down to kiss me. "I love you so much, sweetheart." He whispers. My emotions take over and I can feel a tear coming down. "I'm so sorry." I tell him. He curses. "You've got nothing to apologise for. It's those ratted papz. Are you okay?" I nod. "I am, now I'm here with you. I love you Joe." He picks me up, holding me at the waist and swings me round causing us both to laugh. "What the..." Joe stops twirling at the deep familiar voice. "Hey Donnie, can you believe it, my girl is here?!" Joe beams excitedly at his bandmate, who happens to be my ex. "Yeah, so happy for you dude." I couldn't believe how calm he seemed. Is he genuinely happy that I'm here or is he shocked at seeing me with Joe being so playful together? Hmm I guess I'll never know but it's his problem not mine.
I'm sitting with Joe, and the Knight's brothers as we sit down to eat. "So are you really okay?" Jordan asks me. Joe has asked me bazillion times since my arrival. "It's surreal. Me and the girls were a bit drunk. Never expected to be woken up by them with them crouching around my bed holding a phone for me to look at." I shudder at the thought. "It looked like you had a good time though." Jon adds his input. I smile at the weekend. "I did. It was fun. I feel bad that I deserted them but I needed to see Joe and make sure he wasn't mad at me." I confess as I gaze at him. He squeezes my hand gently. "You were having a laugh, not your fault that they took that as a fact. Unless it's something that you wanna try out?" Joe wriggles his brow. I feel my cheeks redden. "Joseph! It was a joke. The girls were asking what the guys were like then it became a stupid joke that I repeated to the papz not even thinking they would take me seriously." I tighten my lips nervously. Joe wraps him around my waist and pulls me closer to him. "I'm only joking. Just trying to lighten up the situation for you. You gonna stay and watch the show or heading to the hotel?" I smile. "I'm gonna stay and watch." The four of us continue to chat before they need to get ready. They had already done their meet and greets with the fans.
