A Tale as Old as Time

Chapter 4

Leahs pov

 We all went out to the Vancouver zoo and spent the day there it was so fun! We start with the lions and made our way to the elephants. While we were there we ran into a few fans! It turn from a few fans to a LOT of fans, someone must have mentioned we were there and everyone pulled up.

I was talking to a girl who was asking about season two when I noticed that I couldn't find Walker anywhere. I scanned the crowd while still nodding along to this girls theories about the next season. Aryan, Charlie, Rachel but no Walker.

I keep looking and I found a huge (HUGE) crowd of girls all waving paper and pen at something in the center of the mob. I see a stressed curly hair blonde boy. Walker. I quickly rush over, I can see he is overwhelmed but I can't get to him.

I try to tell the girls to back up but they can't hear me or won't listen. Walker looks like he can't breathe as tears fill his eyes. I have to get him out. I push past a bunch of girls and grab his arm. I pull him behind the bathrooms, "Walker are you alright?" I asked.

He just shook his head, "Leah I can't breathe" I put my hand on his cheek. "Walker it's okay, you are having a panic attack, this happens to me just breathe" His breathing got faster and shorter as he sat on the ground, his back to the wall.

I take his head in my hands "Walker look at me." I say softly. "You are okay, just look at my eyes, okay I've got you" His breathing slowed down, and he stood back up. "Are you okay Walker?" I said, he still hasn't spoken. "Yeah-" He said but his voice cracked and he started to cry. I have never seen Walker like this and it makes me want to scream at all those girls. I wrap my arms around his neck and he buries his face in my neck. I could feel his warm breath on my shoulder and neck. His sobs shake his whole body and he wraps his arms around me. I stroke his hair "hey you're okay, you're okay. " I whisper into his ear, and we stand there like that for what feels like an eternity. "Leah" he says finally "I don't think I can go back out there I-" I cut him off "give me five minutes. He doesn't owe me an explanation, I already know what he was going to say. I pull my braids back into a ponytail and walk towards the girls, I hear Walker chuckle behind me. I try my best to remain calm but.....it didn't go great.

Walker pov

I don't know what happens I just couldn't deal with the girls anymore! Thank god for Leah or I don't know what I would have done. After I had calmed down I watched her walk over to the confused crowd and she lost her mind.

I watched her little frame bounce with her enthusiasm! I couldn't help but notice her little dress perfectly complements her body. I am a teenage boy with eyes, sue me.

The girls apologized and practically ran away from Leah. I jogged over to her and whispered "What did you say to them?" She just smiled and said "nope" and walked away.

I chased after her "wait Leah" she turned around "yeah?" She said. "I just wanted to say, thanks" "well you are welcome" she said happily "also" I said " could we not mention this to the others?"

She stuck out her pinky and winked "your secret is safe with me". I wrapped my pink around hers. "Thanks Leah"
