Jake's POV

                As I perform at tonight's concert nothing could prepare me for what would happen after I got off that stage. Instead of our tour bus we were sleeping in a hotel. And suddenly the phone rang jolting me awake. I found out we had to fly to Rochester for the Jingle ball. I woke up Amanda and when she didn't wake up I carried her and managed to drag my suitcase along behind me to the elevator where we met up with the guys Megan, and Chantel.

                "She still passed out?" Joey asks.

                "Yeah." I smile down at her still sleeping peacefully in my arms. I have to wake her up though when we arrive to the airport and she looks extremely confused. I quickly explain the situation to her and she just nods. I wonder what's up with her.

Amanda's POV

                We arrive in Rochester New York and one thing is bugging me. During Jake's concert last night I got a phone call and three words were said:

                "I'm watching you."

That's enough to make me paranoid. So going back to New York was scary. I think it was one of Bobby's friends or worse Bobby himself. I held tightly to Jake's hand as we entered the arena. He let go of me and I was introduced to the members of Emblem3: Drew, Keaten and Wesley. They bond, while Megan, Chantel and I wander off to explore arena taking Jake's bodyguard with us. As we wander around I whisper to the girls about the phone call.

                "What are you going to do?" Megan asks looking around.

                "I don't know." I shrugs.

                "Did you tell Jake?" Chantel asks. I shake my head no.

                "He has enough to worry about without me bringing him down."
                "Sweetie you don’t bring him down." Megan gives me a hug. I hope not.

Later that night at the show Megan, Chantel and I are front row in the audience, because the people in charge of the show didn't want us backstage, I felt someone bump into me and I turn to give them a piece of my mind and freeze seeing it's bobby. What is he doing here? I tap Megan and she turns and gasps. I notice he has a gun hidden in his coat pocket.

                "Come with me and you won't get hurt." he says. We nod and follow him. If Jake was on stage he would have done something but it's Fall Out Boy right now. He leads us out of the arena and down the sidewalk towards a black van. This is it. he's going to either kill us or rape us…and then kill us.

                "Amanda!" we hear. We turn to see Wesley of Emblem3 running towards us with Jake, Drew, Kevin and Joey.

                " he's got a gun!" I yell and then wince and close my eyes as I hear the gun go off. I am tackled to the ground and covered by someone. I hear Megan and Chantel grunt as they too are tackled and covered. I hear fighting and then police sirens. I then hear more shuffling  and then the police giving orders. The person covering me slowly gets off and I'm yanked up into Jakes arms where I start sobbing.

                "Are you okay? Amanda, say something! Are you hurt!? Did he hurt you!?" Jake starts asking a million questions his brown eyes full of worry.  All I can do is cry and then hug Jake tightly. He strokes my hair and whispers that it's going to be alright because he's there now.

                "Thank you man, for saving my girl's life." I hear Jake say. I let go of Jake to see Drew standing there. He must have covered me.

                "No problem man." Drew and Jake do a guy hand shake and then after Joey and Kevin are done fussing over their girlfriends we head back inside as the cops take Bobby away.

After the jingle ball and we are back in the tour bus all the way across the US, Jake pulls me into the backroom.

                "Baby why didn't you tell me that Bobby was out?" He asks sitting down on our bed and pulling me down onto his lap.

                "I'm sorry. I didn't want to worry you with the tour going on and everything." I look down.

                "Baby look at me." Jake gently turns my face so I'm looking at him. "I will always worry about you. Whether we are together or apart."

                "I don't deserve a guy like you. I love you. " I smile.

                "I love you too." He grins and kisses me. Our sweet moment is interrupted hearing Jake's song "Me And You." start playing. We grin and head out to the front room where Jake starts singing along to his song. I giggle as Jake humps the air to "Fuck this place we breaking out." I love this boy and this crew. I'm going to be sad when this is all over.
