Simple Love

23- Self Contained Death Threats and Die Hard Fans

*Anika*

I woke up by shaking and bouncing around. I opened an eye and peered around, checking out the scene. I couldn't really tell what was going on, it was all pretty dark. I felt slightly hot and there was slight pressure on my thigh.

I opened my eyes and look around, blushing instantly at what played out in front of me. I was asleep in Johnnie's arms, one of his arms wrapped safely around my shoulders the other hand prospectively on my thigh. I blushes and listed his cheek, wiggling out of his grasp. He moved a bit in his sleep,  but remained still.

I found a door and got out, the night sky shimmering in my eyes. I looked over and saw Mike and Bryan sitting on a bench talking. I walked over to them, sleepily, and waved slightly at them before sitting down beside Mike.

"Hey, bug, how are you feeling?" He asked, slinging his arm around my shoulders. I nuzzled my head into his armpit and closed my eyes.

"I don't know..." I mumbled.

"Well, you should be happy. I understand that it's rough, but you're strong. You're badass and you shouldn't give up your battle because of some skanky bitch." Bryan smiled and ran a hand through his now long hair.

"Thanks Bryan. I just.... it's hard. I mea--"

"I bet that's not the only thing that's hard when you're around Johnnie!" Mike laughed from beside me. I felt my face go red and I punched his shoulder.

"Shut up !! I don't.... no! I don't think of him like that! He's too young! And.... he... is... he's.... just..."

"Freaking hot??" Mike cut me off, making me sigh loudly and shove my face into my hands.

"You give me a thousand headaches..." I mumbled. "Where is we?" I looked over to Bryan for answers.

"We're in Columbus again. Mikey here said that he'd take you to his place in Delaware in the morning, but we were just staying here for now." He nodded at me, taking a drink out of a Pepsi can.

"Alright, thanks Bry Bry" I giggled. "I'm gonna go sit over there," I said pointing to a bench on the other side of the park area we were at. "To think" I smiled sadly and walked away from my big brother and friend, not ready to face my problems.

I sat down on the small park bench and closed my eyes. She never really cared, Anika, nobody can care about a beast like you. My mind whispered at me. I felt myself let out a whimper as I let thoughts consume my mind. She was using you for sex. I shuddered. Or because you got her away from James. My mind poked and prodded at my mental stability until I felt ready to pop. She never cared.

I felt myself get up and I walked away from the bench. I just kept walking. I didn't know where I was going, but I wanted away.  So I went, and I didn't stop until my feet were aching. I was honestly surprised that Mikey or Bryan didn't come after me, but it was night and I'm sure they didn't have night vision.

I sat down on the edge of the road and felt myself let everything go. I started to cry, and cry and cry and cry, and I couldn't stop. I saw a light coming closer to me, and with my luck, it was probably the police, probably wondering what the fuck I was doing out here alone. Or, a rapist, also wondering what the fuck I was doing out here alone.

But, I was wrong. I took my head out of my hands and looked up, seeing three teenage girls piling out of the car. They had flash lights and there was quite music softly escaping their car stereo. One girl came a bit closer, then stopped abruptly, scaring me slightly.

"Anika?" She questioned. "Lead singer and occasional guitar or pianist from the band Simple Love?!" She squealed. I laughed and stood up, my mood escalating slightly.

"The one and only." I smiled.

"Oh my god, hi, I'm Sam! This is my twin sister, Lilan, and this is our best friend, Faith. We absolutely love you!" A different girl squealed as well. I laughed and gave then a hug.

"Well, that's great to know. I've really gotta get heading back, but, uh, if you girls can give me a ride back to the park grounds, I might be able to muster up some VIP tickets to tomorrow's concert...??" I smirked. The girl who was called Sam put her hands over her mouth and screamed into her hands.

"ARE YOU FOR REAL!?" She cried out. I quoted her and nodded.

"Please?" I begged. The other girl who hadnt talked yet, whom in which I take was Faith, nodded frantically.

"Yeah! Get in! We'd love to!" She cried, taking my hand and helping me in. I smiled thankfully and brushed my hair out of my face.

"Thank you girls so much!"

Mike ran over to me with a worried look on his face. "What the fuck were you thinking!" He hollered. "Where the hell did you go?! Bryan and I were talking and then Johnnie woke up and asked where you were! We pointed over to the bench, but when he got there, you were gone!!" He pulled me into a hug and wrapped his arms softly around me.

"Sorry.... I just.... needed to get away..  but, I was lucky enough to find these lovely ladies to take me back. " I walked over to the car and grabbed their hands, pulling them closer. "Mikey, this is Sam, Faith, and Lilan."

They smiled and waved, shakily. "H-hey Mike..." Sam mumbled.

"Hey! Thank you guys so much!! Did Anika already offer VIP passes?" The girls nodded and we hugged them once again, before getting in Bryans car and heading to Columbus for our next concert.
