To the Stage (Denis Stoff/Asking Alexandria fanfic)

You can run but you can't hide - Chapter 3

Things got kind of awkward between me and TJ after that one night but we didn't let it ruin our friendship, we simply just tried to forget that it ever happened. The two weeks passed fairly quickly and it was the first day of warped. Out bus was parked and we were getting ready to go explore and meet some of the bands playing this year.

"Kat! Can I borrow your eyeliner?!" Jayce calls. I respond with a groan "Again? When are you going to finally purchase your own?" I ask walking through the bunk area to him, already finished getting ready. That's right, who says that girls take longer to get ready? I finally give in after he pulls his pouty face and groan. "Ughh fine, but this is the last time" I say and turn around, walking back to the front of the bus. "That's what you said last time!" He calls and laughs

"Ughh come on guys, you're taking so long" I groan, placing my phone down on the table. "Okay okay we're ready" Ray says, walking through with the guys. "Finally" I say jumping up and run off of the bus, bumping into someone. "Oh my god, I am so so sorry" I say quickly, brushing the guys shirt slightly. He just chuckles "Don't worry about it love, it's not often a gorgeous bird like yourself runs into me" he says his strong English accent coming through. Not going to lie he was very attractive. My fave turns red as I bite on my lip slightly "I..Hi I'm Kat.." I say extending my hand out to him which he takes and places his lips on "Lovely to meet you, I'm Ben" he says a cocky smile plastered on his face.  "You should come watch my bands set later, I promise we're all good looking like me, apart from the lead singer, he's a bit of a dickhead" he says and laughs, making me giggle "mmh I might, until then Ben" I say and smile and rush back to my band, looking back at him, only to find him already looking at me.

LATER THAT DAY------------------------
I was walking around trying to find that guy Ben, or the stage he was playing at, but someone's voice caught me off guard. It was trough a microphone and it was just around the corner. "Hello everybody! We're Asking Alexandria and this song is called I Won't Give In" the somewhat familiar voice shouts through the microphone. I just rush around the corner and look at the band on the stage, I spot Ben, who looks back at me, a cheeky smile taking over his face, I look at the other guys and then the lead singer. My heart, my chest and my face all drop instantly as I am met with the older, taller and definitely more attractive Denis Stoff. My childhood best friend and my first love.

All the memories, the good times and the bad, all come back to me. Up until the day he had walked out. I look around my surroundings, to see that I was between a lot of people. I start pushing through to get the hell out of there. He had walked out, we used to be so close, but now we were close but yet so far away. I keep moving, glancing back a bit each time, and then my eyes meet his, but instead of love, and hope, I feel anger and hatred. He had obviously noticed me, because he had lost his words and just staring back at me. Ben walks over to him and nudges him slightly, Denis snaps out of it and finds his lyrics and starts singing again, but still looking at me. I just shake my head and push past the rest of the people and walk off to find my band. I don't know if I was angry or happy that Denis was here. Some part of me deep deep down, was hoping that maybe we could get passed everything, maybe we could forget that it ever happened and go back to normal. However the other part, the part that the was more closer to my heart, wanted to hate him, to never see him again. I mean hell its been six years, no contact, nothing. Things aren't going to be normal after that. After everything. I finally see Jayce and run over to him and hug him tightly. "Whoa what's up little one?" He asks. Ha. Ha very funny. He only calls me little one because of the height difference. "Denis is here." I say quietly to him. "Wait what, as in... Denis who was your best friend, aka the Denis that broke your heart?" He asks. I just nod in response. Jayce was the only one I ever told about Denis. After I had moved away from Ukraine, I felt like I had lost everything. I sat in my empty room, boxes scattered around. I didn't feel like unpacking all I wanted to do was cry until I got Denis back and that's what I did for two months until the new neighbours moved in next to us. They came over for dinner and that's how I met Jayce, he was my new neighbour and my new best friend after Denis. He knew everything about me. "Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry" Jayce says and hugs me back, I just groan of frustration into his chest. "When's our show?" I ask. "At 8pm" he says, I nod and look at the time. "So we have an hour to spare" I say and sigh.

AN///

Ohh what do you think is gonna happen? Is Denis going to find her and try to apologise? Or is he going to be jealous of Jayce? Or will Katya's feelings return? Or maybe will Ben develop feelings for her?

Hope you enjoyed this chapter guys, I'm going to try and write more frequently.

P.s the in the image is the outfit that Kat is wearing.
