My Reunion

•29•

I sit backstage eating a bowl of strawberry ice cream. The guys are on stage putting on a show for the fans. I'm disturbed by the buzzing of my phone. I put my bowl aside reading the text.

'Secrets have a way of getting out' -Unknown.

I look around but see no one but some security. I don't even text back. I throw my ice cream away and go to the guys stuff. Their phones haven't gone off.

So it's either about the alcohol or... something else. I don't have a lot of secrets... except... no. I text holly asking if she told my secret to anyone.

'No I haven't why?'

'Nothing don't worry about it.'

I put my phone down still suspicious. The guys exit getting some water.

"Hey why the look?" Hayes asks drinking some water.

"Nothing did you have fun?"

"Yeah it would of been more fun with you." He kisses me.

"You're sweaty." I grin pushing him lightly.

He laughs.

.........

I sit on the hotel bed watching some Netflix. My phone buzzes again. I pause the show and read the text.

'I would hate to see your life fall apart.' -Unknown.

'Then why are you doing this?'

'Because it's called revenge. Now listen carefully or I'll tell everyone what you did.'

'How do I know you're not just messing with me?'

'**** *** * *** ****** **** *** **' -Unknown (A/N I'm not telling the secret now you guys got to wait 😉)

They know. They know and if this gets out it can ruin my career. It can ruin everything.

'Fine what do I do?'

'There will be a note taped to your car at midnight. Go alone and do not tell anyone about it or the secret will get out. Do as the note says' -Unknown.

I carefully climb out of the hotel bed grabbing some clothes. I change into my black skinny jeans, with my walking dead shirt. I put my vans on and quietly sneak out of the hotel room.

I go down the stairs and out the front. I cross the street into the parking garage. I keep looking around on guard. I see a little white envelope with a rose pedal taped to it.

I open it slowly and take the card out. A sticky note falls out of the card. I pick it up reading the card first.

'Good thing you follow directions. Now tomorrow during the show you need to go in the back and kill the lights. There I will handle the rest. The lights need to go off at exactly 2:30. If you fail to do as I tell you then I will post your secret on every social media website there is. If you tell anyone I will post it. Make sure you don't disappoint.' -Unknown.

I read the sticky note which just says 2:30. I put the card back in the envelope and walk back to the hotel. I hurry inside looking back one more time.

I should of followed my moms advice. The only way a secret is kept is if one of them is dead. As I return to my hotel room I see a Basket on the outside of my door. I pick it up looking around it.

It's a muffin basket. I pick up the card.

'This is for you my love.' -Unknown.

My heart races and I quickly go into my hotel room shoving the muffin basket under the sink. I rub my eyes having enough of this stupid game.

I climb back into bed going on Instagram. Before I shut my phone off another text shows up.

'Round 1. Complete. Get ready for round 2.' -Unknown.

I turn my phone off feeling chills down my spine. I pull the blankets over my head knowing that either way my life is over.

I take a deep breath knowing what I'm going to do. I'll play his game, but we're doing it my way.
