Local Love

Chapter Four: TILLstar Mischief? (IN PROGRESS)

The morning after the concert I awoke in Gaeges arms, on the couch in a hotel sweet. I couldn't see Brad from where I was on the couch but his shoes were scattered about the floor in the smae place he left them last night. I slowly wiggled my way out of Gaeges arms in attempt not to wake him and grabbed a t-shirt off the floor to cover up that I was still wearing last nights outfit. I could hear a commotion out in the hallway and creeped up to the door to peep out. I could'nt see anything through the tiny hole because of someone standing in the way. I curiously opened the door and saw Brad, bare feet, blocking a crowed of 17 year old girls who were all obsessed with Gaege and teenage guys who were intruiged by me. They all had out their cell phone cameras and began shouting questions at me like they were the paparazzi. Still holding the door open i saw Gaege running up towards me from the corner of my eye, he pulled me in the door and whispered in my ear "Lets make their time worth while..." I knew exactly what he was meaning and we gave Brad 'the look' letting him know he could go back in. My eyes met Gaege's and his arms slowly wrapped around my back, my lips met his as i was held in his embrace. The reaction of the small crowed was priceless as they ogled over the simply kiss. I didn't want to pull away from gaege's arms but i knew we didn't want social media to think there was more to us than we were letting them see. We told them good bye and went back into the room where Brad stood, arms crossed with a 'told you so' kind of look on his face. He knew as well as we did that we needed to discuss our relationship. 

We all began packing, knowing that we needed to get back to TILL headquarters and deal with the TILLstars. The street team was there to promote us and the past couple of days all they had been doing was deal with the overwhelming amount of PR issues. TILLstars were 100 hand picked members of the TILLfam that were there to be our support system and be honest with us, and we couldn't return the favor by telling them I would be coming back, they found out on twitter just like the rest of the world.

Oh crap, twitter, i hadn't checked it at all today. 

I reached into my bag and dug for my cell phone, i had more missed calls and texts than I had time to deal with. I hadn't talked to Tyson since before the big announcement. I dialed his number and held the phone to my ear, it was the longest few seconds I had experienced in a long time. "Well it about time i got to hear your voice!"

"I know! I know! I should have called last night, but it wasn't just me coming back that was announced last night... It was also Gaege and I."

"Yah... I saw the video that was posted by the TILLstars... I saw the picture from this morn---" I interupted him before he could say it. 

"What? TILLstars? They're spreading the video and pictures? How could they do this to us... What all are they saying?" My voice cracked as I thought about them.

"The internet is buzzing with the theory that you're only back because of Gaege, they think you've given up on local.." the truth hurt, but I had asked to hear it.

"I've got to go."I said as I hung up the phone, not even waiting for him to say goodbye.
