Will You Still Love Me? (MAHTW Sequel)

Chapter 21: Visiting

22:

It's been about a month since the boys left and I've been chatting with them everyday. I hadn't heard from Angel at all since she left and it kinda made me worry but I had a feeling that she was talking to Aaron instead. I needed to start talking to him more.

Avery had kinda turned me into a party animal, we were going out most nights every week. I turn 21 next month and I couldn't wait to be able to throw away my fake ID and use the real one.

I was also enrolled in college now and had made it through my first week of classes. It made me remember why I hated school in the first place but I was determined to do something with my life even if it was running on as little sleep as possible.

The boys' tour was coming back towards Cali so we were driving out to visit them for a couple days. Avery was beyond excited as always and wouldn't shut up about it like a fan girl. I swear she forgets I'm married to one of them sometimes.

As we pulled up to the venue, we parked in the back by the busses and started looking for theirs but really all we had to do was follow the fans running around. Austin and Alan were standing behind a barrier in front of their bus surrounded by girls. I didn't know how much his fans knew about me or if they knew at all so we walked around the bus park and came up through the back to avoid the crowd.

"Ever wonder what they're doing out here with all these girls running around?" Avery asked quietly. I shrugged.

"Probably nothing." I replied, "fan girls are annoying enough just to talk too let alone sleep with them."

"True." She agreed. I pulled our passes out of our bags and we hung them from our necks as we passed a security guard who was watching us closely. Instead of saying hello and getting their attention we just walked on the bus and sat down in the booth area at the front, watching the meet and greet interestedly through the tinted windows.

"It's disturbing how many people with cuts there are here." Avery commented, scrutinizing each person.

"Really? We're gonna go there?" I asked in a monotone voice, flashing her the scars that still showed on my wrists.

"Oh yeah, sorry." She said lamely, resting her chin and arms on the window sill.

We watched as one particularly touchy fan approached them, hugging them and holding onto them as she joked as laughed with them. I couldn't hope but notice Avery staring at me.

"What?"

"What? That's all you're gonna say? How can you stand this?"

"She's just a fan." I chuckled. "You get used to it."

"If that was my husband I'd be out there knocking heads together.." She mumbled, crossing her arms.

"Oh I know." I said, chuckling again.

The Phil, Aaron and Tino started materializing out of their bunks and sat down with us, watching the meet and greet and talking with us as they drank some coffee to wake themselves up.

"How's Alan holding up?" I asked Aaron.

"He looks okay but isn't really." He replied, looking out the window at him. I opened my mouth to ask if he'd heard from Angel but looked around at Tino, Phill, and Avery and realized nobody was suppose to know we knew how to reach her so I shut it again and we sat in silence for a moment.

"What's going on with Alan?" Avery asked curiously.

"Angel left him." Tino answered.

"What!? Why?" Avery asked in shock.
