Paper Moon

chapter 50

"How am I supposed to be, everything they expect me to be? When I feel so alone, cuase I left my heart at home," I was listening to the acoustic version of Miles Away by Memphis May Fire.

I've been listening to them recently and I've since fallen in love with the band. I adjusted my headphones and cuddled closer to Josh.

We were sitting in the You Me At Six dressing room on the couch. Josh ran his hand through my hair gentally. It was relaxing.

But all good things must come to an end.

Brendon bursted into the room. I pulled my headphones down and let them sit around my neck. Brendon stopped in front of us and squinted at me. His eyes went wide and he started to laugh.

"Awww Halo likes-" I cut him off by quickly jumping onto him. Brendon let out a loud alarming noise. I ended up landing on top Brendon. He groaned and looked at me before letting his head fall to the floor.

Chris walked in and started at us. His conversation with Dan halted. "Woah Halo, first Josh now Brendon? Didn't know you would change your mind that fast" Chris said shaking his head.

I looked down and made eye-contact with Beebo. I felt myself blush a bit before getting off of Brendon. I fixed my shirt and started to glare at Chris. "I didnt change my mind. I don't even-" Chris cut me off, "oh so you still like-" he hit Dan on the chest and pointed at me, "she still likes-" I quickly cut him off. "ANYOne want ice-cream?" I luaghed nervously, "let's go get some ice-cream!"

I grabbed Josh's hand and began to pull him with me. "Whats going on?" Josh asked confused. "We're getting ice-cream! Thats all that matters, forget what you just saw!" I pulled him to the All Time Low dressing room so we could get ice-cream.

"Halo what kind of ice-cream do you want?" I walked to mini fridge/freezer and grabbed an Otter Pop. "An Otter Pop works." I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the top off. "Do you want one?" I asked Josh as I threw the top part away.

"No, I'm good." I nodded and sat on the couch. I ate my Otter Pop and started to think. Pete Wentz and Mac look alike. That's kind of funny. I felt myself smile.

"What's funny?" Josh asked taking a seat next to me. I shrugged, "I was just thinking, doesn't Pete Wentz and Mac from Its Always Sunny look alike? Like, really alike." Josh looked at me for a second before smiling, "he really does."

I finished my Otter Pop then got up to throw it away. On the way I felt a bit unstable. It was wierd. I wasn't dizzy or anything, everything just shook for a few seconds. What the hell?

I shook it off as me being wierd. I threw away my Otter Pop before making my way back to the couch. Josh was getting a soda so I was alone.

I didn't make it to the couch though. Before I knew it everything was shaking and there was a loud rumbling noise. My anxiety level went threw the roof.

I screamed. Holy fuck I'm gonna due arnt I? Things started to fall off the walls. Josh ran over to me and pulled me under a table. I held onto him for dear life. I had since stopped screaming but was now crying uncontrollably.

The shaking stopped and it was a mess in the dressing room. I was terrified and literally clinging to Josh. He held me close to him and tried to calm me down. Key word, tried. I was not having it.

Literally what the fuck just happened? Did people die? Oh my Fuck! Did someone die?! I managed to control my crying but I was still scared.

"Are you okay Halo?" Josh asked as he ran his fingers through my hair. I shook my head no and held onto him tighter. "Have you ever been in an earthquake?" He asked. Earthquake? What the fuck?

I shook my head no. I don't want to be here, I want to go home. Josh started to quietly sing to me. "Just say the word, we'll take on the world. Just say your hurt, we'll face the worst." It was a bit relaxing to have him sing but I knew I wasn't gonna feel okay for a while.

There was another earthquake but this one was small. It wasn't long before Alex burst into the room looking for me. "Alex!" Josh called getting dad's attention. He looked at us and rushed over.

He sat under the table next to us. I switched from Josh's arms to dad's. He held me close. I was so glad he was okay, I don't know what I would be don't if anyone got hurt. "Are you okay baby?" He asked examining my face. I nodded, "oh thank god."

The rest of the time was blurry. I remember being handed to Hosh again for something, then we ended up on the bus where I fell asleep in Rians arms.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes, I'm still tired. I yawned and stretched. I could feel someone move from next to me. I glanced over and saw Rian. I don't want to wake up yet.

I cuddled back up to Rian and fell back asleep.

"He didn't answer, what a sad life," I mumbled to myself throwing my phone next to me. I laid down on the couch and grabbed the remote. I kind of want to watch tv, but I also don't. I don't know, it doesn't seem to interest me as much as it did, nothing really does.

I turned on the tv and decied to see if there was anything on Hulu. I've pretty much seen everything on Netflix. As I was looking through the shows I accidentally clicked a show.

I ended up clicking Lucifer. Huh, this seems interesting. I clicked the first episode and ended up enjoying it. Now time to binge watch Lucifer and eat junk food.

I grabbed some mini donuts and spent the rest of the day watching t.v.
