No More Babydoll

CHAPTER 17

I awoke on the cold hard cement Im guessing a few mineuts later.

I laid there in pain feeling sick.

I slowely sat up and walked back into the arena.

As I was walking in I noticed that James and them werent on stage anymore. They probably left already, but I had to get my bag.

I walked through the audience to the front and pushed the door open as I walked up the stairs I could already here people shouting.

Before I almost walked in something got me to stop I heard my name.

"Screw you Andy if thats how you actually feel!" James shouted.

"Get out of my face Karmichael, you know Im right!" Andy shouted back.

"Hes right J." Drew agreed.

"You guys are jepordizing your friend ship right now over one girl?! Thats really pathetic." Nick spoke up.

"Whatever Im done, fuck you guys!" James spat. Before he opened the door I grabbed my purse and booked it out of there.

I got a taxi back to the hotel where Millie wasnt.

I sat on the end of my bed for about a half an hour trying her cell, but she didnt answer.

Shit.

I stood up and was about to go found her but found a note by her bed stand instead.

Dont worry about me Have, Im out clearing my head... im sorry for the trouble. Im at the 24 hour coffee shop on 18th incase you need to find me. Im not taking calls. bye...

I put the note in my pock and left the room and got into the elevatore.

Awkward...

When the elevator door opened James and everyone stood there looking at me. They all exchanged awkward looks before coming over to me.

"Oh fuck, what happened to you?" Drew asked.

Oh crap I totally forgot about me getting beat up by three guys.

"I fell." I said pushing past them.

"Nah, you did not 'fall' liar." Drew said like a five year old.

"Where do you think your going looking like that? What happened?" James snapped.

"Dosent matter." I said casually.

They followed me.

"Your bruises are the size of my fist." Nick said putting his hand up to my cheek.

I kept moving.

"Haven stop! What happened?" Andy asked.

"Drop it, I dont even know you guys! I came her to protect my friend and Ive obviously failed at that!" I said looking at Drew.

Before they could say anything I got into a taxi and headed to 18th street.

I hopped out of the taxi and spotted Millie sitting with her head low at a single table.

"Hi." I said sitting across from her.

"Im sorry Haven. Im sorry. You were right."

"Dont apologize to me. Come on. Lets go back to the hotel. Ill book us a flight back home for tomorrow morning."

She nodded and looked at me. Her eyes were red and damp.

"Come here." I ordered embracing her into a hug.

** ** **

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* I knocked on James hotel door. Andy opened the door and pulled me in.

"Can-"

"No Haven. We are not doing anything until you tell us what happened to your face." Andy stated crossing his arms.

Nick was sitting in a recliner playing Xbox and James was on his bed with a guitar and a lyric book.

"I already told you. I fell." I lied sitting at the coffee table.

"Bullshit Haven." James scoffed.

"I got jumped by three guys. Okay? Now can Drew stay in here with you guys tonight so Millie doesnt have to deal with him?" I said quickly.

"Excuse me?! By three guys Haven?!" James shouted standing up.

"Can he?" I asked again crossing my arms now.

"Yeah sure." Nick said. Andy nodded slowely.

I walked back into my room to find Millie crying and Drew kneeling on the ground.

"What is happening?" I asked crossing my arms as Millie.

"DREW AND I ARE ENGAGED!"
