I'm Yours

Chapter Thirteen

Anna's P.O.V.

It's been four days.

They pass quickly. Rushes of excitement. Each city brings different experiences. In between practices we sneak to new places, continuously trying to locate local diners and pizza places to test out. Sometimes the rest of the crew joins us. I don't mind, Nick and I get along very well. He's crazy and I'm shy but it works. However, I don't think Reed appreciates our new found friendship very much. He's always throwing an arm around my shoulders when we go out as a group, showing off to everyone that I'm his and no one else's.

Right now I'm once again backstage, sitting at a creaky table, listening to the practice. I don't mind. I love listening to the guys sing, they're all so good. They fall into every song they sing, hitting the notes like no one is listening. They all posses the same passion for music. The drive to succeed.

Arms lift me off the chair and press me to a familiar chest. My eyes flutter close and a yawn escapes my lips. We have been here for seven hours already, their manager, Mr.Black, keeps making changes to their set. I personally think he should just let them sing, that's all the fans want. To feel connected to them.

Jealousy rises in me.

Not too connected.

A kiss is placed against my neck, igniting a fire in the pit of my stomach. I stretch my arms and encircle them around his neck, keeping my eyes closed. I run my fingers through his curls. It's only been a couple hours since their last break, and I had full view of him the entire time, but I still missed him.

"How's about we stay in tonight?" He murmurs into my skin.

"Movie night?"

"Perfect." He grips me tighter and takes a step towards the door.

"Did someone say movie night?"

Nick.

"Oh my god count me in!"

Zach.

I giggle quietly. My eyes pop open in excitement. Reed looks slightly annoyed but I cut him off as he's about to tell them no.

"Yes! You should join us!"

To be completely honest I did that mainly to mess with Reed. I kiss his cheek and smile innocently up at him. He couldn't say no to me if he wanted to. Besides, a night with some of the guys wouldn't be so bad. It'll be nice to bond some more. I'm rather quiet and haven't given many of them a chance to know me. Just the thought scares me. I have really only gotten close to a couple people in my life. Poppy and Reed.

"Baby you are going to regret that." Reed leans down and whispers into my ear, growling at the end.

But the thing is...

I'm not scared. No it's the exact opposite. It makes the fire glow brighter.

"Come on guys," I squeak, clearing my throat, "movie night."

It takes me an hour to set everything up. Reed sits watching me run around like a chicken with its head cut off, popping popcorn, setting out blankets and pulling out the few movies we had. Unfortunately for me, they're all horror movies. The kind with demons that possess unsuspecting teenagers and men with a sick passion for murder. The thought alone makes me want to close my eyes and hide under a blanket, a wall to keeps the ghouls at bay.

To distract myself I slip on some sweat pants and one of Reed's sweatshirts. His eyes darkened slightly when I pulled the black fabric over my head. It smells just like him, lemons and chocolate. I bring material closer to my nose inhaling. Strong arms encircle my waist, pulling me against their owner. Reed ducks his head, resting his chin on my shoulder.
