All She Wants (COMPLETE) - BSB Fanfiction

Chapter 5

Ellena was shocked at the amount of energy that five men could emit. The chemistry between them on stage was electric. Lacey danced for part of the concert and sat on Ellena's shoulders so she could see when she got too tired. It felt so good to see Lacey happy. She had had so many disappointments in her short life. After three encores, the lights came up in the arena and fans started to file out of the building. Ellena remained in her seat until the crowd had dwindled a bit. The last thing she wanted to happen was for Lacey to get lost in the sea of people. Grasping Lacey's hand firmly in her own, Ellena made her way towards the backstage area. Security was understandably tight and Ellena nearly had to empty her entire wallet of ID before they let her through. As soon as she got past them, she spotted Kevin talking to a group of twelve-year-olds. She smiled as she watched him pose for photos with them and hug each one. She found an empty piece of wall and leaned against it until he was free for her to talk to. That didn't happen for another hour. Lacey quickly became restless and grouchy.

Kevin had seen Ellena from out of the corner of his eye but every time he tried to get over to where she was, he was intercepted by another fan. Internally cursing the amount of backstage passes that were issued, he signed yet another pinup and posed for another picture. Finally, there was a window of opportunity and he took it.

"Ellena!" Kevin walked towards her and held out his hand. "I'm glad you could make it."

Ellena pushed away from the wall and extended her hand to him. "Yes, me too. Thank you so much for the tickets." She smiled. "And for the flowers. I can't remember the last time I got flowers sent to me."

"You're welcome." Kevin smiled warmly and then dropped to one knee in front of Lacey. "Hi Lacey. Did you like the show?"

Lacey wrapped her arms around Ellena's leg and buried her head against Ellena's thigh. "She's really tired." Ellena apologized. "It's been a big night for her." She picked up Lacey in her arms. "Honey? Can't you say hi to Kevin?"

Lacey turned her head away from Kevin and pouted. "No." She replied to Ellena.

"Why not?"

"I don't like him."

Ellena's eyes shot up in surprise. She looked at Kevin and then back at Lacey. "Lacey, that's not a very nice thing to say. You have to be polite."

"He said he knowed my mom and he tricked me."

Ellena closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. Kevin groaned inwardly. One small assumption on his part yesterday had really caused grief on Ellena's part. Ellena tried to change the subject quickly. Kevin could tell that the subject of Lacey's mother was not something that either Ellena or Lacey took lightly. He immediately felt bad again, for dredging up these feelings for Ellena and wished there was something he could do to make things better.

Ellena hugged Lacey close to her and replied to Kevin. "She danced for an hour and a half. The show was great. Your choreography is really impressive."

Kevin smiled. "Thank you. That really means something coming from a dancer. Me and the rest of the guys are going out after we get out of here. Do you want to join us?"

Lacey closed her eyes and snuggled closer to Ellena. "You know what? I'd love to but I can't. I have to get Lacey home to bed and I don't suppose you would be going somewhere that I could bring her along anyway. She didn't bring her fake ID with her. Besides, I have an early morning tomorrow."

"Six o'clock practice again?"

"Yes. Although the girls are going to be useless because they were all here tonight."
