Push me away

6

As Remington walked off, I felt my body ache. He was looking at me during his set. He knew who I was and didn't forget me. I don't care how much he denys it.

"Good job out there.." I mumble when Remington gets close to me.

"Thanks...uh... good luck."

He walked away and walked past Noah. Noah looked at me and then Remington before following him.

I went on stage and people screamed. I smiled and started singing. Nothing too big happened during the set, but I noticed Remington and Noah having a heated conversation and then Remington watching me while Noah walked off.

Once I was done with my set, I went to the changing room and found Noah. He was on his phone, but when he noticed me, he turned it off.

"What's your deal? With Remington?"

"Uh... we were friends in middle school. Childhood friends."

"And nothing romantic came of it?"

My heart broke as I looked down and got my shirt off to change. I don't want to ruin anything for him, but I can't lie.

Remington liked me, and I hurt him. He was always so happy and never showed weakness when juliet was around, but I knew it hurt him.

"No. Not that I'm aware of." Noah can treat him right. He is good for Remington. As much as it pains me to admit.

"So why was he looking at you for most of the song that he dedicated to me?"

I shrugged. I put my new shirt on and then walked out of the room. Remington walked over to me and sighed.

"Is he still upset with me..?" Remington asked in a small whisper. He looked like he was going to cry.

"I...I think so? He doesn't seem like he wants anyone in there."

Remington started crying, which made me feel bad. I look around and then grab him. He froze, but let me pull him into a hug.

"It's okay... it'll be okay. I promise."

"Thank you.." He mumbled into my chest as he grabbed onto my shirt. I run my hands through his hair and lean my head on his. Something I used to do to comfort him when he felt like he was being too much.

After a little, Remington seemed to have calmed down. I slowly move and see him sleeping against me. I smile and look around before texting Noah.

Noah opened the door and looked at me and then Remington, who was still gripping my shirt.

Noah sighed as he picked Remington up and then smiled when Remington mumbled, "I love you, Noah."

I held back my frown and smiled at the two of them. "I'm going to watch the rest of Kellins set..."

Noah looked at me and nodded. "Thanks for..yknow, texting me to get him."

"Yeah, course."

Noah looked at me and then Remington before walking away. I walked off and got to the side of the stage just in time as Kellin sang his last song.

"I met a girl at 17, thought she meant the world to me, so I gave her everything. She turned out to be a cheat. Said she'd been thinking for a long time. And she found somebody new! I've been thinking that this whole time."

I smile and sing with him front the side with Poppy. Once he was done, we went to do the VIP signings. Remington was now awake and seemling happy. He was talking to people and having a good time. Remington then grabbed my arm and pulled me to the photo area where we took photos with a few people. Me, him, Noah, Poppy, and Kellin.

--- 🧛‍♂️

After the photos, Andy walked away, and then a kid walked up to me. The same kid from the park. I smiled as they came up and hugged me.

"Theo! Hey! How was the show?"

"I-it was amazing! Y-you remember m-my name..."

"Of course! How could I forget? It's a very cool name."

They smiled and looked around. They seemed to have realized something pulled something out of their bag. I tiled my head when they handed me a box. It had everyone's name on it. Everyone on the tour.

"I-i just made a few things...thought you guys would like them..."

I open the box and see some cookies, jewelry, notes, and a few other things. It was a box full of random things, but for some reason, it felt very thought out to me. If someone randomly was to look in the box, they would think it was a mess of trash, but I could see something for everyone.

"Thank you! These cookies look delicious."

Theo blushed softly and smiled. "I baked them when I got home earlier... I put them in the bags before I got here, so they should be cool and not too soggy."

"Okay, we will definitely eat them when we get home. How about this, you tag us on Instagram in this photo we are about to take, and I'll repost it on our story. And I'll personally follow you on my account?"

"Really? Yes! Please!"

They seemed really happy and we took photos. Theo got photos with everyone and then left. I loved Theo. They seemed nice but also young. And I didn't see parents with them. Something about it felt off, but I wanted to keep the mood positive. I just hope nothing happens.
