Wanted (A Restless Road Fanfiction)

Awkward

CHAPTER 8

Awkward

"Sometimes, being a teenager makes you want to die." ~Awkward.

            I woke up the next morning feeling much better. I'd only known Restless Road for about 3 hours, I couldn't possibly have any feelings for any of them. Right?

            I shook off the thought and got ready for the day. I picked a cute purple plaid shirt and matched it with dark skinny jeans. I grabbed an apple for breakfast, and then decided to take a walk around the city.

            I took a few steps outside. It was warm out today. There was a lake near where I was staying, so I decided to head there. It was about a 10 minute walk. After arriving, I took a seat on a bench near the lake, listening to the sounds of nature and people. It was peaceful here, which was a nice change for once. I was tired of the hustle and bustle of my current life, and I was glad that I was in this moment.

            "Excuse me?" I heard. I looked around and saw a boy, probably about my age, maybe a little older, walking toward me. "Sorry to bother you, but are you Katie Rosewood?"

            "Yes," I said.

            "Really?! I'm such a huge fan!! Can I get a picture?" he asked.

            "Sure," I said, and smiled. He pulled out his phone and snapped a picture. "What's your name?" I asked.

            "Jake," he said.

            "Do you have a Twitter?" I asked. He said yes, and gave me his twitter handle. I wrote it down so I could follow him later.

            "Alright," I said. "I have to go back to my hotel. I'm meeting up with Restless Road in a bit." I'm not sure if I actually was, but I felt awkward now.

            "You're actually touring with them?! I thought that was just a rumor! That's awesome! Now, I have to go buy tickets! Well, thanks for the picture. Bye!" he said.

            I watched him walk away and then got up and walked back to the hotel. I opened up Twitter and followed Jake. Then, I sent out a Tweet. "Yes, the rumors are true. I'm touring with @RestlessRdMusic !" There. Now people would stop pestering me about it.

            I was about 4 minutes away from the hotel. I decided to text Zach and see if we could hang out. I just felt bad lying to Jake, that's all.

Me: I'm bored. Can I come over?

Zach: Oh, hey, Katie, it's Andrew. Zach's not here, but you can come over!

Me: Okay... His room?

Zach: Yup.

Me: Kk.

I had just gotten to my hotel, so I walked across the street to the one they were staying at. Theirs was much nicer than mine. I walked into the elevator and hit "5". The doors closed, and I felt the lift taking me up.

The doors opened, and I walked out. His room was close to the elevator. I knocked twice, and was greeted by Andrew.

"Hi!" he said, and let me in.

"Where's Zach?" I asked.

"Shower," he said. "Colton went out with some friends."

"Oh," I said. I sat down on Zach's bed. I heard the shower turn off.

"How'd you get Zach's number?" Andrew asked.

"He gave it to me. After he drove me home." I said.

"Oh," he replied. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and Zach walked out with just a towel around his waist.

"Oh, um, hi," he said, blushing. Great. This was really helping my emotions.

"Hey," I said, awkwardly. He grabbed some clothes and ran back into the bathroom.

            "Well, that was awkward," Andrew said.

            "You think?"
