JUSTINS POV

I did things a little differently this concert. When Baby came on, I sung the first verse and chorus by myself then I got Alfredo, Cody, Heather, Tiana, Katy and everyone else from my crew to come on stage and just mess about with me as I sung it. Tiana joined in with the dancers and learnt the dance instantly. I looked back at Heather with Jake, Alfredo and Katy singing along and smiling at the crowd. Before I went down the walkway I got everyone to walk down with me so they could interact with the fans. They all smiled and held their hands as we walked past. I wanted to make my return to Pittsburgh special so what's not better then sharing it with my friends. I finished off the song and all my friends stood with me at the end of the walkway as I stared around the arena taking it all in.

I must of stood there for 3 minutes in silence. 'I just wanna say...' I said into the mic. 'I'm thankful for where I am today...and who I can share it with.' I said looking at Heather as she smiled out at the crowd behind me. Jake had his arm around her waist which made me smile more. 'It would also be nothing... If I didn't have you amazing fans with me... You are truly the best any band, artist, person could ask for!' I also said as I looked all around me. 'Thank you for staying with me, I love you! nioght everybody!' I finished as they played the music for us to exit. I quicly touched their hands before I ran off with the others. They all screamed as I left. A Great way to end the show.

I sat infront of the mirror in my dressing room relaxing and drinking some water. I cooled myself down after a tiring show like I always did. There was a knock at the door before they came in. 'Hey hunny!' Mum said as she entered. She came behind me and ugged me as we looked at eahc other through the mirror. 'I've got to go in a bit so I had to come say goodbye.' She said before kissing me on the cheek. 'Do you have to go?' I replied as I swivled on my chair to face her. 'Yeah hunny, going back to Canada for gramps and granny. I'll send them your love.' She smiled at me. 'Love you mom!' I said, getting up and giving her a long hug. She said nothing else except giving me a kiss and leaving with Kenny outside.

*************************************

I woke up in the bus with Heather fast asleep next to me. I sneaked out of the room and down bus where I saw Jake asleep on the couch. Last night, they all stayed backstage in the arena for a drink while I sneaked out to my dress room and then to the bus to sleep. Heather must of brought jake back with her afterwards. I looked down at my Rolex watch that read '5:47AM' and gave a big sigh when I realised it was too early to get up. I looked out the window and saw no fans outside since they all know I normally get up At 11. I also saw Kenny and Niel, the bus driver outside having a cup of tea. I couldn't go outside shirtless so I just but my grey hoodie on with the hood up and my hands in my pockets.

'Woah! Wasn't expecting you to be up!' Kenny said in shock as I walked off the bus, joining them. 'Niether was I!' I said while laughing. 'Have you met Jake?' Neil asked. 'Not well, is he alright?' I asked, shivering from the cold morning air. 'Well... He likes Heather. And she seems to like her!' Kenny joked. He and Neil both laughed while I gave them a serious face till they stopped. I looked through the bus window and saw Jake get up as Heather walked towards him, looking gorgeous like always.

He grabs her waist and pulls her closer. She smiles and bites her lip as he moves his hand down her back and rests it on her bum. Heather isn't normally like this. She doesn't act full-on with a guy she met a day ago. He pulled her closer as he whispered something in her ear. I watch her expression as it changes from a laugh to a worried face. He starts kissing her neck as she just clings on to his neck. I watch intensely before charging in there and pulling heather away. 'What do you think you're doing?!' I shout angrily at him. 'Having fun with heather, what do you think!' He shouted back. I held heather behind me. 'If I were you I would leave... Now.' I glare at him as I move to side for him to exit. He gives me a look before brushing past me to heather. 'Call me...maybe we can continue.' He said, like a creep. Heather stares at the ground as he waits for her to reply.

After he waited a while he just quickly left. 'Heather...what was that?!' I asked, facing her. 'I-I... Im sorry!' She said breaking down in tears and sitting on the sofa. I didn't say a word, I just sat next to her and pulled her closer to me as we lay on the couch together.

HEATHERS POV

I quickly changed into a denim jacket, shorts and a shirt before putting my hair into a bun and wearing sunglasses. I walked out of the room and saw Justin on the sofa wearing a white top, quarter length jeans and a beanie. 'You ready to go?' He asked looking up from his phone. 'Yeah, it's 6.30 now so the store should be open. Also, we can walk since its only around the corner.' I said looking at the maps on my phone. 'So he worked at Walmart?' Justin asked walking over to me and peering over to see my phone. 'Yeah, I think we should go without Kenny as well.' I suggested. 'Lets go then!' He said as he turned round to get off the bus.

We got to Walmart at 6:53 so the manager was in to talk to. Me and Justin walked around casually, getting a few looks since they noticed us but no one asking pictures or coming up to us since they were all adults. 'Over there!' I whispered to Justin, pointing at a rather large man with a clip board. 'Hes the guys we need to talk to. My parents got a picture from last time.' I said as I pulled out his picture. Justin took a quick look at it before walking up to him. 'Hello sir, I'm Justin, this is heather and you might know her parents.' He said to him, I held up my parents badge for him to look at. He took a quick look before gesturing us into his office. He carefully followed so no expected anything.

'I'm looking for info about Jacob Sterling.' I said as we got into his office. 'All I've got is the store in Washington he worked at next. I told them to keep record of him so they have the next one.' He said as he passed a note with the address for a tattoo store. 'Do you know anything we wouldn't know?' Justin's asked. 'He had a brother that he worked with but apparently his brother never told anyone about him. Their family dis owned him.' He replied, nervously. 'Do you know if his brother is still in Canada?' I asked, getting more intrested. 'His whole family never moved. But their brother isn't a trouble maker.' He said getting calmer.

**********************

'It could be anyone!' I said as justin and I walked around the store. 'Lets not worry about his family. But there's one thing we should worry about... A guy has been following us this whole time.' Justin said pointing subtly to a man in sunglasses behind us. I quickly turned round and saw him turn round as well. He looked back at us and started running away. I quickly ran after him before Tackling him to the ground and sitting on top of him. I took his hoody and glasses off and realised who it was. 'Tom?!' I shouted at him. 'Hi Heather...' He said awkwardly. Justin came up behind me and picked me up. Tom got himself up and looked around the store before talking. 'Justin...can I talk to him... Alone.' Justin quickly left.

'What are you doing?!' I asked as a loud whisper. 'Im not giving up on us heather!' He quickly said before kissing me. I saw a flash before he ran away. I stood there in shock about what happened. 'What was that!' Justim said running up to me. 'I have no idea!!' I said. It all confused me. It wasn't expected, it was sudden. There was a camera.
