I pull on my dortmund shirt that I had gotten custom made with my name and number on the back. Because the game was postponed to tonight, the boys were able to get us tickets in the family area. I don't know if being around them right now was the best idea seeing as though we are being harassed for being friends with them, but that isn't going to stop me from supporting them.

A knock sounds from my door as I turn around to see Erling leaning against the door frame. 

"You look stressed." He sighs. 

"Yeah." I try to force myself to laugh. 

"It's alright." He says as he walks towards me and hugs me. "This usually happens. It happened to me. It will die down in a month or two, hopefully."

I nod into his chest before someone clears their throat by the door. I pull out of the hug to see Jude standing there, staring at us. 

"We've got to go." He mumbles.

I nod with a small smile as I grab my purse and trail behind Erling. Jude waits for me by my door before walking alongside me.

"You don't have to panic. Okay?" He reassures as he opens the front door for me. Gio and Tayma had already left a couple of seconds ago as I see Gio's car being driven on the road. Erling clambers into his car and drives off. 

"I'm trying not to." I sigh as Jude opens the passenger seat to his G-Wagon for me. 

I take a step up into the car as I feel Jude grip onto either sides of my hips and he hoists my up. It wasn't even that high up, I don't know why he helped me. 

-JUDES POV-

I jog over to the drivers seat, getting in and starting the engine. (Y/n) was quiet, and each time we'd pass a large group of people, she'd hide her face. Does she not want to be seen with me?

"The windows are tinted." I tell her, trying to hide my sourness. Is she embarrassed or something?

"Oh." She nods.

We pull up to a red light and I glance at her for a second before something on her face catches my attention so my head zips back round. 

"What's that on your forehead?" I ask as I lean over and push her hair out the way, revealing a scar which had a light bruise around it.

"Nothing, just skating things." She says as he refuses to make eye contact with me and fiddles with her fingers. She does that when she's lying. 

"Liar. What happened?" I push on.

"I don't know, but you'll probably be able to find it on the internet." She shrugs as she pulls her phone out. I drive as the light turns green. "Aha!" She says sarcastically as she pulls out a video of a paparazzo shoving a camera in her face which then cut her forehead. "How sweet." She smiles as she shoves her phone into her pocket. 

"(Y/n)." I mumble as I pull up in the parking lot. She just shakes her head, not wanting to talk about it. I sigh as I lean over the arm rest that was separating us and pull her into my chest. 

She sighs as she hugs me back. "I'm fine, jude. I just have to get used to this sudden fame and cameras." She says as she pulls out the hug. 

"I won't let you out alone. I'll make sure I'm there or one of the boys. And if not I'll get security for you." I say as I open my car door and get out before walking towards her door. As soon as I open it for her, she laughs in my face.

"You don't need to get me a security guard, Jude. I'm not in that much danger." She jokes.

"Girl, have you seen these fans?" I say as I hold my hand out and help her out the car. "Some random fan picked Erling's ex up and tried to run away with her."
