Persistence

Chapter Ten - Disappearing Act.

A couple of days passed. You hadn't heard from Matt since those horrible text messages. You only could assume he realized you wern't giving in too his demands. And that truth be told, he wasn't on his way at all. 

Today was the day you were having one last meeting with Of Mice and Men as tour starts in a couple of days. You decided to meet them at their normal place. As you headed out your hotel you felt the heat immediately. You thought too yourself I could live with this everyday. You approached the building  and was greeted by the band, but of course except from Austin. Always late as per usual. You didn't mind so much though because you had become friends with him over the last couple of days and knew his time keeping skills wern't one of his best skills.

As you got speaking to the rest of the band, their ideas hadn't really changed which you were happy about because you had things planned on how to create their desired effect. As you were writing down all the ideas you got startled by the door being flung back so hard it hit the wall. You were surprised it didn't break the glass in the door. As Austin walked over he didn't seem happy at all as you were about to say hi, trailing behind Austin is a thin blonde. Your automatic thought of judgment labelled her as a bit of a barbie doll with tight short jeans and an extremely tight top with her long blonde hair covering most of her top. "Austin!" the young blonde screeched at him. Austin carried on to the table too sit down "Sorry, I'm late. I had problems too sort out." You could only imagine Austin was on about this mysterious girl. "It's O.." You were interupted by this girl who carried her bag on one arm and sat herself down and flicked her hair and just stared at you. "Who the hell is that" she said sharply and abruptly. "I'm Summer, I'm filming their new DVD." you said quickly in a stunned tone. "Well, I'm Aubrey and i'll be on most of the tour so you will have to film me too." You didn't answer to what Aubrey said as you thought she was incredibly rude. Pushing that too one side you said to Austin, "The plans haven't really changed is there anything you want to add?". Austin looked up and put his hand on his chin "No, I think we covered most points the other day and I think we all agree on the same stuff on what the outcome should look like." Just as Austin finished his sentence Aubrey cut it in "Well what plans, I haven't heard any plans! I'm part of this too!.". You couldn't quite believe how self centered Aubrey was. The boys all just looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Austin caught them doing this and asked Aubrey too come outside for a second. So standing up flicking her hair she followed Austin.

"Sorry about that, Aubrey is erm a handful. And don't listen to what she says. She is not part of this tour or DVD. We are just hoping that Austin see's sense and doesn't let her on tour. Or even better dumps her. She's no good for him, as you might already know.". You were confused, Alan said all that expecting you too know what he meant. You asked "What do you mean as I might already know?" Alan looked back at you kind of confused, "Well you've been spending time with Austin surely he mentioned her too you?". Now you were even more confused. You said back "No, I've never heard of her, he hasn't mentioned anything". As you finished your sentence you realized this was getting awkward. Alan quickly added "Well then in that case, I've said too much. Are we cool to go now?". You were so intrigued by what he meant but just smiled back and reassured Alan "What was said here stays between us" You let out a smile and packed all your things together. As you walked out the building with the boys they asked if you wanted to come out for a drink the night before tour. Before even thinking twice you said "Yes, that would be awesome, Thanks". With that you parted ways and Alan said he would email you his number.  But you were thinking where is Austin. You didn't see him when you were coming out the building and there is only one entrance and exit so you assumed he had already left. With that you walked back to your hotel.

*LATER THAT NIGHT*

You went downstairs of the hotel to have a cigarette. Smoking, you saw a familiar figure from a far. Screeching "Omg Lucy!". "AHHH, Hello babe, Surprise visit". You couldn't quite believe Lucy was stood right infront of you.

Of course you and Lucy went upstairs and had a good ol' catch up. Lucy had brought alcohol with her and insisted you drunk with her. It had felt like you hadn't seen Lucy in a long time. "It's so good to have you here Luce".

Time was ticking by and it was 11.30pm with your head feeling like it was spinning you had to sit down. Lucy was talking to you and all you could see was a blurred image and hear muffled words. What was happening to you, Why wasn't Lucy helping. She just stood up and looked down at you. Trying to go get some water you fell too the floor and try to get back up by clinging too the coffee table. You saw Lucy taking your cup away you were hoping she was going to get water, instead she was washing your cup out and put it out of reach from you. You felt defenceless all you could do was lay curled on the floor hoping someone would help you. 

You must have managed to slur some words because Lucy just looked at you dead in the eye and started to laugh. What was happening. Were you dying?, Why wasn't she helping?.
