Rock Show

Chapter Seven

Jagger watched me intently as he and the other memebers of the bands set up their equipment. Why was he watching me? The question ran throughout my head as I sat with Echo the couch set out for the guys. Echo was trying to keep my mind off things but even as she blabbed on and on, I was focused on something else.

"Hey sexy ladies." Jinx grinned slipping into my line of view.

I looked up at him to see that he was smirking down at the two of us.

"Hi Jinx." I whispered shifting slightly in my seat. "What is it that you want?"

He grinned. "Come on baby, why you being mean?"

"Fuck off, Jinx." Jagger growled softly to him, only the four of us heard him.

I looked up at Jagger nothing. "Thank you."

He nodded before waiting for Jinx to leave but once he left Echo looked at her older brother saying. "You do realize you'd go back to jail if.you beat him up just for protecting either of us."

Jagger's face hardened a moment. "I'm only going back to jail if Emma's father touches her again."

I looked at him in confusion but after a second it dawned on me. "Would you stop my father by hurting him?"

Jagger nodded. "I would hurt anyone who tried to lay a hand on you." And at his dead serious tone and expression, I didn't feel scared but protected.

Echo jumped to her feet. "Okay I'm bored!" She then ran off to probably go find Gale leaving Jagger and I alone.

Jagger slumped in the seat next to me sighing heavily. "Damn, I'm sorry."

"For what?" I asked softly turning to face him.

"For what I said bout the whole if anyone hurts you thing." He looked down at his hands.

I hugged him suddenly. "Don't apologize it makes me feel safe."

He smiled before standing. "Show's bout to start. Just let me know if you wanna sin with us." He smiled. "I have a good song in mind."

"Like what?" I asked with a smile.

"Breaking inside, the one done with the lead singer from Halestorm and the lead singer of Shinedown." He said.

"I love that song." I whispered.

Jagger smiled. "And if you get bored at all talk to Mack. You remember him, right?"

I nodded. "Now go your fans are waiting." Jagger laughed softly before running off onto the stage that out looked all his screaming fans.

I watched as he introduced the crowd to the already well known band he performed with. "Now those of you who were at our concert here.five months ago you'd remember a girl who sang with me."

The crowd nearly screamed when he.spoke making him smile. "Nice to know you guys liked her, I like her to." Was he throwing in a double meaning there? No, surly not. "Anyway she's here tonight and maybe, just maybe she'll come out here to sing with me but I think she might be shy."

Jagger cast a look to the back or the stage toward me where our eyes met.

I smiled at him shaking my head but she just shook his head back mumbling to the crowd. "Women."

That had me there. I stepped out onto stage, the spot light going toward me immediately as I laughed. "Jagger just cause I didn't want to come out doesn't mean I'm being complicated."

He grinned. "I never said that."

I walked over to him, his six foot frame leaning over me as he leaned down to whisper in my ear. "You ready for this, Emma?" And just as he said that someone from the crowd yelled out. "Kiss her dammit!"

I blushed a beet red making Jagger chuckle as he kissed my forehead.

The guys started up the song that Jagger and I were gunna sing but the moment I was going to sing I saw a terrifying yet familiar face.

My body froze for a good minute before Jagger had to tell the crowd we were experiencing technical difficulties. He then pulled me off stage just as he caught sight of what my eyes had locked to.

My body was shaking in fear as I began to hypervenolate. I was scared of what was to happen to me. My father was there with a bunch of cops, walking the rows of young teens.

Jagger and I were standing off to the side where no one couold see us as he called out to Mack.

"The is a man here followed by about three cops, he's looking for Emma but he can't or she gets hurt again. I need them gone now!" And at that Jagger turned his back on Mack to look at me.

Jagger's arms went around me in a protective hold as he buried his face in the crook of my neck heaving heavily as he whispered. "Emma, baby, please calm down your scaring me." He tightened his arms around me trying to calm me. "Emma, baby?"

His voice was so relaxing yet I was still hyperventilating.

"Echo call an ambulance!" He called out picking me up bridal style to Kay me down on the couch just as Gale ran back stage.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"Her fucking dad is here and she's having some kinda panic attack!" Jagger yelled at him. "Go distract the crowd, I need to make sure my girls okay!"

Did he really just say I was his girl? I couldn't focus I on the question as my mind raced into what happened five months ago when he had the cops arrest Andy.

*"You left with your brother!" He yelled at me. "Are you trying to whore around with your own brother!" He had cornered me in between the door and himself as soon as we got home. "Damn Emma you're such a slut!" *

*I flinched at the sound of his voice, the yelling was only the beginning of a very painful beating.*

*"Why do you have to be so much like your mother?" He shook his head. "Whoring around like she did!"*

*Again I flinched this time when he raised his hand.*

*He didn't touch me.*

*"Father I didn't mean to!" I cried.*

*He grabbed me by the throat pulling me forward before slamming me back against the door. The forced caused the wooden door to splinter, most of the splinters digging into my scalp making me cry out.*

*That man I called my father did it over and over again before going to clean it up yet he didn't use the cleaning alcohol, he used tequila then a good amour of bleach before leaving me there on the floor to suffer.*

I screamed out at the thoughts, I threw my body about only to be held down which only made me panic more before I felt a set of warm lips press against my own calming me down tramendicly.

Jagger clubbed my face in his hands as he hovered over me kissing me.
