Playlist Love (A Caspar Lee Fanfiction)

Chapter 18

* Summer's POV *

"Summer are you ready to go on stage?" Marcus yelled from across the room. We were all backstage getting ready to go on the main stage and do our talk. Emily had arrived and was allowed to wait in the room with us.

"Just give me a sec!" I yelled back. I had to prepare myself. I'd always had a slight fear of talking to a mass amounts of people...it's a lot easier doing it on camera. I felt an arm slip round my shoulders and squeeze lightly.

"Hey, don't be nervous." I heard Emily's soft voice whisper in my ear. "Nothing's going to happen okay? Everything's going to be perfect." I slowly nodded and smiled at her. I turned to give her a proper hug.

"Thank you." I said as she returned my hug. At that moment the voice came over the speakers announcing we had 5 minutes until we had to be on stage. Taking in a shaky breath, I walked over to the rest of the group, giving Emily a quick wave goodbye. Going on stage was me, Marcus, Zoe, Louise, Caspar, Alfie, Tanya, Jim and the twins. Jim was "presenting" the show so he was going on now to do a short intro. As he was talking I walked over to Caspar and grabbed his hand, my nervousness becoming more apparent. I felt his thumb slowly begin to rub small circles on to my skin, having the desired calming effect. He lent over a gave me a small kiss on the cheek, quick enough so that no one saw but long enough to relax my tense jaw. 

"Okay?" he smiled, looking at me straight in the eye. There was that butterfly feeling again. The feeling that I was going to melt on the spot. Nodding, I looked out into the crowd from behind the curtain, getting used to the size. 

"So I thought it would be a good idea to bring out a few good friends of mine." the crowd screamed at Jim's words. "Firstly, I'd like everyone to say a massive 'he-lloooo' to the guy with the Nicki Minaj, MARCUS BUTLER!" The crowd went absolutely manic as my cousin stepped out on the stage, vlogging every moment. He took a seat on the stool, grabbing his microphone and speaking his signature greeting. 

"Okay, now another dear friend of mine. She's small, but she certainly has a big mouth. IT'S ZOE SUGG!" Zoe stepped out to another massive scream from the crowd, sitting next to Marcus and saying hello.

"Thanks for that introduction Jim." she laughed sarcastically. 

"Anytime Zoe, anytime." Jim spoke back, the crowd laughing at their friendly banter. Alfie was next, followed by Tanya, Caspar and Louise. It was just me and the twins left.

"And now, I'd like to welcome a brand new member to the group. This is her first ever convention so lets give her a nice warm welcome, it's Marcus' cousin, SUMMER BUTLER!" I walked out on stage, expecting a few odd claps here and there, but the crowd were screaming their heads off, clapping and chanting my name. I couldn't help but smile at the reaction, willing that I wouldn't fall over on my way to my seat. I sat down on the stool next to Louise and took hold of my microphone.

"Hello!" I spoke nervously. The crowd cheered and I heard the rest of the group on stage going 'Awww'. 

"Aww guys she's nervous. Shall we make her feel a little more comfortable?" Jim spoke into the mic. The crowd agreed and Jim came running over engulfing me in a hug. Startled, I almost fell backwards off my stool, but quickly regained my balance and hugged him back. 

"Feeling better?" he asked. 

"Loads, thanks Jim." I smiled. The crowd laughed as Jim walked back over to his spot and gave the final introduction for the twins to come on. They got the loudest screams of the lot as they came hyperly running on waving and cheering. 

"Okay, okay everyone calm down..." Jim said. "So the first request to get the ball rolling is for everyone to do their best American accent saying 'I love PlayList 2013 and I think you are all amazing'." One by one we attempted the line, Alfie's being especially awful. I was quite impressed with mine, getting a cheer from the crowd. We all answered questions from Jim and the crowd, Jack and Finn ended up twerking with Marcus all over the stage. Me, Caspar and Alfie broke out in to an awful version of One Directions 'One Thing' and Finn ended up falling off his stool. As we were all finishing our laughing fit, there was a slight techincal difficulty with the lights and the screen but it was soon fixed. But then a gasp came from the crowd as silence filled the room. We all looked around wondering what had happened. I looked up and froze, my microphone dropping to the floor, making a horrible feedback sound. On the screen was a video. Not just any video. The video of me and Alfie kissing. The one which we had forgotten about. I looked over to Alfie, the colour drained from his face in horror as he looked back at me. Marcus was glaring into the back of Alfie's head, his face filling with a mix of rage, disappointment and confusion. Caspar got up quickly and ran off the stage. I was completely frozen to the spot, trying to process what was happening. The video was playing on a loop like a GIF. 

"WHAT. THE. FUCK?!" Marcus suddenly yelled. The crowd were now deadly silent as he rose from his stool. I knew when Marcus got angry it was not nice. Right now I was petrified of what was going to happen. 

"Urm, I think we should...take a break." Jim said awkwardly into the microphone. As much as I wanted to stop Marcus doing something he'd regret to Alfie, I had to go and find Caspar. I quickly got up and ran off the stage. 

"CASPAR?" I yelled, desperately searching for the South African boy. Crashing sounds were coming from the room we were once in backstage. I ran in there to see plates, chairs and other things I couldn't quite make out all smashed on the floor. He was screaming in anger and right now I was scared.

"Caspar stop! PLEASE CASPAR. JUST STOP." He looked up to the sound of my voice and that was when I saw the tears rolling down his cheeks. He was crying. "Caspar..." I began softly.

"No. Don't. I get it. Just leave me alone." he said, walking out of the room and out of the building itself. I ran my hand over my face, soaking in the last five minutes as the others came in the room, Marcus, Alfie and Jim missing. I looked up, they were all giving me sorry looks. 

"Summer-" Louise began.

"I'm sorry, I can't." I ran out of the room, in the direction Caspar had gone. I needed to find him. I needed to explain everything before I lost him. I can't lose him. I can't.
