Guys Like You

Chapter 7: Blackout

Chapter 7: Blackout

Alex's POV

"Anthea!" I shouted, helplessy trying to scoop her up from the ground. Anthea was in a total blackout and all I could do was gape at her body laying limp on the floor.

"Help them!" A voice sounded from stage. I couldn't bother to turn around, well, if your best friend was bleeding would you turn around? 

Moments later, a well-built man with biceps the size of boulders came over and picked Anthea's petite frame with ease. "Follow me." His low voice growled, for a few moments, the music had stopped and all the girls were staring at us. "Uhhh, while we sort this out. . .Let's listen to our drummer Josh Devine!" Liam announced into the mic. Him and the boys then scrambled off the stage.

I followed the scary-looking man backstage as my heart picked up speed when I saw each of the One Direction boys with looks of worry plastered across their faces. 'Damn' I thought 'I so wanna kiss you right now'. Each of them smiled wearily at me before setting their eyes on my blonde-haired friend.

Niall's stare, however, lingered on Anthea longer than any of the other guys.

I looked at the Irish boy curiously, tilting my head to the side and arching one eyebrow. "Ummm. . ." Liam scratched the nape of his neck awkwardly as we all bopped our heads into his direction swiftly.

"I believe we don't know your name yet, love." Harry smiled as I wacthed the security guard set Anthea on a green leather couch gently and laying a wet cloth on her forehead "Oh yeah," I chuckled, finding my current situation inredibly funny. "My name is Alexia Williams, you can call me Alex and that girl over there," I pointed to Anthea "Is Anthea Toledo and she is my best friend." I say matter-of-factly.

"It's nice to meet you, Alex, I'm-" Zayn began to say but I cut him off "Believe me, I know." I giggled and he shook his head in embarrasment. To be honest, I am trying my best not to scream right now.

"Well love, we have to start the concert soon or else our fans will go nuts." Niall chuckled, picking up his mic "We'll see you both later!" Louis shouted as he skidded to the stage with the rest. I sat down on the table parallel the couch and grasped Anthea's hand.

The music started playing after a few moments but I could care less.

"Wake up." I whispered, squeezing Anthea's hand as my vision began to blur. I can't loose Anthea. She was my best friend, my sister. This happened to my mum before and it wasn't pretty. Because of the force of the phone on her head, she stayed in the hospital for three days. I don't want that to happen to Anthea. 

Anthea was my only family ever since I ran off. It was the screaming that drove me crazy. Every night before I go to bed, I hear my mother's faint groans of pain coming frow downstairs and I would jump out of bed, call Anthea, and jump out of the window and drive to her house. Then she would make me hot chocolate while we sit on her bed watching Youtube videos and just plainly fooling around and laughing. And then everything would be better in an instant.

I can't give that up.

I can't give Anthea up.
