My Chance - The Vamps fanfiction

Chapter 10

Eventually I made it back to the performance area, I was still in floods of tears. I grabbed my bag and turned to head out hoping no one noticed but I was wrong.

"Elle, what's wrong?" I heard Connor shout after me. I heard someone running after me but I didn't stop running out of the building. I found a bench by the side of the road and collapsed onto it. I put my head in my hands and sobbed. How could I be so stupid? Why did I think he was different?

"Elle, what happened?" The person who had been following me was Tristan. I looked up at him and sighed.

"I over heard your conversation with Brad" I explained, my voice cracking.

"Elle, I'm sorry, I didn't think he was like this, I thought he liked you" he said putting his arm around me and pulling me close.

"He's just like all the others, they just use me to get what they want and don't care who they hurt in the process." I cried.

"Come back with me, the others are worried about you. You don't have to talk to him, you can just stay with me if you want" Tristan said pulling me up, he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and together we began walking back.

"Thank you Tristan, for sticking up for me back there," I smiled weakly at him.

"I'll do anything for you, just remember -"

"Anything for a friend" we finished together. We both smiled and looked into each other's eyes, I was so lucky he was my best friend. We walked back into the building with Tristans arm still wrapped around me, he always made me feel so much better even when he wasn't doing anything.

"What happened to you two?" Brad asked when we walked back in smiling at me. He had no idea I'd heard what he said.

"Something came up we needed to take care of," Tristan replied, his voice was cold as he glared at Brad. We went to sit down and watch the rest of McFly's set for the sound check. Tristan put his arm round me again and comforted me until I felt like smiling again.

"Hey Elle, what happened back then?" Connor asked coming to sit next to me.

"Tyler's dad works here and I was just reminded of what happened" I explained. It wasn't a complete lie, Tyler's dad did work here but that wasn't the reason for my break down.

"You should have told us before we would have made it safer for you" Connor said.

"Made what safer?" Tom asked, I didn't even realise they'd finished. Connor glanced at me and I nodded, it wasn't something that bothered me so much anymore, if they knew it would probably be better.

"Elle was in an abusive relationship and the guys father works here" Connor explained.

"What was this guy's name, we can make sure his dad's not working here tonight if it makes you feel better" Tom said, he looked shocked but his voice was calm and stable.

"Tyler Ward but it doesn't matter, as long as Tyler's not here" I told him, I probably wouldn't see him anyway.

"Just tell us if you want anything to be changed," he smiled at me.

"Thanks Tom"

"No problem" he turned around and left me with Connor and Tristan. Brad and James had gone to get the rest of the equipment from the bus.

Not long after we escorted into the changing rooms so the guys could get ready for their performance tonight. I sat down by myself but not long after I felt someone else sit down. I looked up and saw Dougie smiling at me with his Twitter app open.

"Hey Doug, that was really good by the way!" I greeted him.

"Thanks Elle, we just have some time to kill now, want to sing a song?" He asked.

"Erm okay," I said nervously, I was about to perform in front of one of the best musicians I knew. This could not be happening.

"What song?" He asked .

"How about bubble wrap? It's easy for both of us that way!" I smiled at him.

"Yeah sure, let me grab my guitar." Dougie said getting up and walking into another room. He came out a few seconds later with an acoustic guitar in his hand, he sat back down on the sofa and began to play the intro.

We had gathered an audience by the end of the song, The Vamps and the rest of McFly were watching intently along with a few other people I had never seen before. I grinned at Dougie as he played the last chord and silence fell upon the room.

"Can you stop being so perfect," Connor groaned breaking the silence.

"That was truly amazing," Tom said, shock still evident in his features.

"Thanks" I smiled at him.

"No problem, with a voice like that you could get a recording contract easily!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I can call some people I know if you want?" He asked, o couldn't believe this was happening to me.

"Erm, let me think about it Tom, this is a lot to take in,"

"I understand, just talk to me whenever!"

"Thanks again Tom!" He smiled warmly along with everyone else.

A few hours later everyone was ready and we had the 5 minute warning. Connor, Tristan, James and Brad were all preparing to get on stage, I wished them all good luck and headed down the corridor back to the changing rooms but I never got there.
