SAMMI

As I waited for the band to arrive at arrivals I couldn't keep myself still, Of Mice & Men had just finished touring and for the first time, I was unable to go with them because of my work. I'd missed the boys I called my brothers, especially Austin because I'd known him all my life. Throughout the tour, we all Skyped and messaged each other, and I had to deal with Alan, Aaron, Tino and Phil complaining about Austin's new girlfriend Pamela who had gone on tour with them instead. I didn't exactly see eye to eye with her, she hated how close Austin and I were. It actually made me glad I couldn't tour with them because three months on a tour bus with her and I probably would have gone mad like the rest of the guys.

"There's my little Sammi."

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Austin shout my name across the terminal. I turned to face him and the rest of the guys with a huge smile on my face, Pamela just glared at me from behind Austin and I rolled my eyes.

"And there's my big Austin."

Austin picks me up and spins me around making me squeal before kissing my forehead and lowering me to the ground. We had a very odd kind of relationship, to the outside world it looked like we were dating because of how close and touchy-feely around each other but to us, we just really close friends.

"I swear you keep getting smaller Sammi."

He pats my head and I push him away playfully before I'm attacked by the other four guys and nearly knocked to the floor. They hug me and tell me how much they've all missed me and how awful it was not having me on tour with them as their merch girl.

"Get off me, some of us happen to have grown up jobs and can't jump up and down on stage every night."

All the guys get off me but Alan stays and slings an arm around my shoulder casually but we both notice Austin giving us an odd look, was he jealous? Alan leans over and whispers in my ear.

"I think Austin is a little jealous Sammi. You have no idea how hard it was dealing with Pam's whining for the last three months, her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. She's only using Austin for his fame and money; he should be with someone like you. It's obvious to everyone that the two of you are made to be together. Anyway, how have you been?"

I found myself blushing slightly at Alan's comment about Austin and I dating, he was happy with Pam and I wasn't about to ruin our friendship over something like that. I sighed and leaned against Alan before handing my phone over to him with the Twitter feed dedicated to sending me hate and death threats open.

"Whoever set up this account is out to get me, Alan. The amount of followers it has scares me and it grows each day. What does this person have against me? I don't even know them. Some of the comments are personal as if they know me. None of my friends would ever do something like this."

Alan read the feed and scowled before closing the Twitter app, "they're just jealous because you get to hang out with the best five people in the whole world. Just know that all of the guys love you and will defend you with our lives, you've supported us from the start and will always be a core member of the OM&M family Sammi. Keep your head up and keep smiling."

I nodded at Alan and let his words sink in; I shouldn't let this person hate get to me as much. So what if a handful of fans hated me, I had the five best friends anyone could ever want and I wasn't going anywhere soon.

"Hey, Sammi can I have a word?"

Pam walked over to Alan and I and I actually held onto him to stop him from leaving. I didn't like being left alone with her because she always had something cruel to say about me, whether it was my appearance or how I was sponging off the band.
