We Came To Help

Standing Ground

Everything about this offer seems strange, but Myles does flaunt that he has been friends with Kyle since their band formed when kyle was just 15, so I guess he wouldve just asked him if I could go along knowing I had no where to stay. What harm can it do anyways? Kyle is one of the nicest guys, ive seen enough interviews, I know enough about all four of them like ive known them my whole life.

"R-really?" I ask idioticly.

"Of course! We need a girl to be around so we dont end up killing each other, and Myles said you havent got anywhere to stay" Kyle responds back, he makes me feel really welcome and his voices calms my anxiety.

"And we are making some new songs and we hear you sing Kalee, never know you could be featured in the new album and sing on stage with us, if you wanted to" Jaime says with a half smirk that i cant help giggling at, as though I had a crush on him.

"Oh my, I dont even know what to say, than-"

"Just say you'll come along and get out of this county" intrupting me, Duece actually sounds like he cares about my safety.

"Well, yeah of course I will! I will need to get some money to buy myself some stuff then"

"No no no, dude we are a band? We have money and junk, we will buy you clothes, food, drinks, cigarettes, make up, name it we will get it for you" Doug says with a slight cocky attitude. I dont understand why they are being so kind, but any chance I have to leave I might as well take it.

"Well thank you, you dont understand how much I appriciate this, are you sure I wont be in the way?" I realise im blushing a little bit too much, and the band have noticed as they were all looking at me and smiling.

"No of course you wont! Trust me it will be a pleasure to have you, you are all Myles talks about when we talk to him!" Jaime says to me. Myles has been talking about me to my favourite band and has never told me.

"We are leaving for the plane at around 6 so we can get to Estran by morning, so that gives you a couple of hours to say goodbye to, well not your family maybe, but to your friends, if thats okay?" Kyle says, his voice is so soothing to me.

"Im not saying bye to my parents, but ill need to say my farewells to myles, ill come back at 5?"

"Thats fine beautiful, take your time, I know how hard it is to leave everything behind, we need to finish playing the last three songs anyways" Duece replies to me. I give them all a hug and Kyle gives me a kiss on the cheek as I leave. I couldnt help but blush a little as he did. Myles is waiting outside for me with the biggest grin ive ever seen him have, he is holding a large bag thats printed with a starry design.

"Look what i got for you!" Myles chirps out in a high pitched voice, hes always so happy which just makes me have a smile even in my darkest days. He hands me the bag, its quite heavy, I put it on the ground and pull out the gift inside. Its a box with a pair of crimson vintage suede platforms inside, they must have been at least 4 inches high.

"Oh my god, Myles!" I pull him in for a hug.

"How could you afford these?! you didnt have to!" I know full well how he could afford them, he has the richest parents in this area, with them being part of the goverment who controls everything.

"I just got some money off my dad, I needed to get you a leaving present! and I know how much you have been drooling over these for so long!" I couldnt even contain my excitement, I have been eyeballing these exact shoes for about a year now, they had been sitting on the window shelf of the vintage clothes shop we have here with the price tag of over £300.

"Yhank you so much Myles, i just, these mean so much to me. I dont know what to say"

"Dont say anything! How long do you have left here?" I look at my golden pocket watch, half four.

"I have until five, so half an hour" The reality set into me. of leaving. I was overjoyed to leave but leaving Myles? That is going to hurt so much.

"Half an hour? thats enough time(!)" He says sarcastically to me.

"Im going to miss you so much Kalee, dont know what im going to do with out my little metal bear" Little, im actually quite short, im only 5 foot 3 while Myles is a good 6 foot 7, hes always called me his little metal bear. Quite cute really.

"Im going to miss you to Myles, I expect phone calls obviously"

"Of course Kay"

He wraps his arm around my waist and picks me up whilst hugging me. I lean my head on his shoulder and put my arms around his neck.

"I love you KayKay"

"I love you to Myles"

We hug for almost ten minutes then he puts me down and kisses my cheek. He hands me the bag with the shoes in it. He turns away and heads home, we have never been good at goodbyes but that was enough and the most ive ever done. I turn around myself to head back to Kyle.

"Kirsten?" I hear a woman call my voice. I know exactly who it is.
