--------
It has now been 4 months since Stephanie was attacked at the concert, since then she's been going to a therapist escorted by Alex as her mother still doesn't know about the incident.
Stephanie walked out of the therapist's office and walked outside to meet Alex, when she stepped outside she noticed he wasn't there waiting for her like he usually was.
The girl frowned and placed her hand on her hip. 'Where the hell is he?' She thought.
She walked down the street in search for her teacher.
Steph took her earphones out of the pockey of her skinny jeans and plugged them into her phone, she scrolled through the hundreds of songs she possessed until she selected 'let's kill tonight' by Panic! at the disco.
She was about to messenge Alex to find out where he was when she saw him approaching her holding a drink of some sort; it was a 'caramel machiato' from Starbucks.
"Sorry I wasn't outside waiting I went to get you this." He said smiling as he passed the drink over to her.
Stephanie took one of her earphones out and retrieved the cup from him. "Oh thank you."
"Don't worry, just thought you deserved to have a little treat seen as you've nearly finished your therapy sessions." Alex said putting an arm around the young girl and walked towards his car.
"Thank you so much for everything Alex.... y.. you didn't need to do any of this. Like those sessions they must cost a.." The girl thanked him as she was cut off by Alex interrupting.
"Look I told you, it doesn't matter how much those sessions cost you deserve to feel happy about yourself and talk to a professional about your problems who can help you."
The couple stood at the side of the car talking whilst they drank their Starbucks'.
"I care about your safety and I just want to let you know I'm here for you no matter what happens. I'll do everything I can to make you happy."
He placed his drink on the roof of his car and wrapped his arms around the girl's waist and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Stephanie's eyes began to fill with tears, she sniffled as the teacher held her in his arms. She rested her head on his chest.
"I.. I.. I'm so lucky to have you Alex thank you, f...f...for everything."
He moved his arms from around her and placed a hand on her shoulder, he took a scrunched up tissue from his jeans pocket and handed it to her. "There's no need to cry sweetie." Alex said smiling, he leant towards her and placed another kiss of her forehead.
"We should be getting back now." He said spinning around on his heals and taking the keys from his pocket.
As Alex unlocked the car Stephanie's gaze drifted from her teacher to scan the street, as she looked around the quiet yet littered sidewalk and roads she spotted three young people of whom she recognised from school but where too far away to notice Stephanie and Mr Gaskarth, or so she hoped.
In panic she started tapping Alex on his arm as he picked back up his drink from the roof of his car. She couldn't get her words out so she just started pointing in the direction of which the three students where walking.
"Fuck." Alex whispered as he saw the students approaching. "Oh no, it's Amanda and Karen!"
Steph gasped.... "wait is that Jake too?"
~~~~~~
Amanda, Karen and Jake were walking up the street as they were on their way to a party of some sort.
