Open Water - (Beau Bokan fanfiction)

CHAPTER 7

We both were woken up by my phone ringing at 4 in the morning, blaring the song 'Five ninety'.

"Goddammit," I said sitting up and turning on the light, Beau just layed there still half asleep.

"Babe, who is it?" He asked. It was my mom. I didn't answer his question, just held the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I said.

"Perry, come home now, Ashley and her brother came home, where are you?" she shouted.

"I'm in Oregon." I replied

"Why?! get your ass on a flight, now." she hissed.

"You told me never to come back," I said. "and so I won't. I'm so much happier without you."

"You're such a little bitch, Ashley showed me the picture of you and the boy you're with. I will not allow my daughter to be off being a little slut to a band." she said. That hurt.

"First off I'm not a fucking slut, apparently to you I was a waste of time remember? How can you tell me that? How am I the little bitch, mom? I don't think you realize that I'm happy here, I'm with people who actually care about me and respect me. Not a bunch of assholes who see me as nothing more than a piece of shit. You didn't want me to come back, so I won't. And one more thing, you can tell Ashley to fuck off." I yelled. Beau was wide awake now.

"Perry Alyssa Huwitt, get your ass home now." She said, "This is exactly why I didn't let you do anything, because stupid douche bags who just want to get in your pants change you like this. You've become worthless. If you don't come home, I'm calling the cops." she threatened. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you kidding? Oh my God. That's hilarious mom. What the hell do you think the cops are gonna do? arrest me? Jesus Christ, I'm twenty-two, get over it and accept that you're the reason I hate you." I said. "Oh and by the way, when you're calling up the police make sure you fucking tell them that your stepson fucking raped me when I was sixteen, what about that? huh?" I was fully sobbing now, Beau just hugged me.

"So, stay out of my life, you were never my mother, go burn in hell!" I shouted.

"Perry-" she tried to say something but I didn't care anymore.

"Bye, bitch!" I said and hung up. After I hung up I pretty much lost it.

"I fucking hate her!" I screamed and threw my phone at the wall, which created a satisfying noise.

"Per, please don't scream." Beau said and forcefully held me so I couldn't break anything else. I just sobbed in his arms, I don't think I've ever cried that hard before.

"Why does she fucking hate me so much!?" I sobbed. "I never did anything wrong!!" I yelled. I started to hit Beau, although I didn't mean it. He just gripped me tighter and pretty much made it impossible for me to hit him.

There was a knock on the door.

Beau got up and put on his boxers, before he went to answer it he turned to me.

"Per, put something on." Oh right, we were both naked. I pulled on my underwear and put on his shirt. The whole band was standing outside in the hall and beau invited them in, shutting the door behind.

"Beau, What happened?!" Matt asked. They all looked at me and saw how upset I looked. Eric came over and hugged me,

"Per, what happened?! Why were you screaming!?" I couldn't even reply before I just started sobbing again. Beau came over and held me, he didn't even know what happened. I tried to say something but I couldn't even form words. Elliot picked up the pieces to my phone and tried to put it back together and since I couldn't even speak, Eric started talking.

"It was just like, all the sudden there was a lot of yelling, but it wasn't very loud, so I didn't bother, but then their was a huge bang on the wall that woke up Elliot, who was in the other bed, so we both just tried to listen, but then you started screaming and we ran down the hall to wake up Matt and Jared." He said, I couldn't see them, I could only hear them because I had my face in Beau's chest. I listened to the hum that began in Beau's chest when he started to speak,

"Well, someone called, I'm assuming it was her mom." was all he said. I sat up and wiped away my tears. I looked at them, Beau sitting next to me, Eric at the end of our bed, and then Jared, Elliot and Matt sitting on the edge of the other bed.

"My mom...she called me a-and.." I started to cry again, taking a deep breath I tried to continue. "She s-started yelling a-at me and t-told me that," I took a deep breath again. Calm down Perry. "She told me t-that I was w-worthl-less and that you guys d-didn't care ab-about me. She said that all t-the band wanted me h-here for w-was sex." another deep breath. "S-she.." breathe Perry, breathe. "She threatened to call the cops, but the cops wouldn't do anything cause I'm fucking twenty-two, The reason Beau told you guys that I was staying on tour with you was because when I came to see you, she texted me and told me not to come home. She told me I was a waste of her time." I have no idea how that last part came out without me stuttering. I started to cry uncontrollably again, Beau held my face again, as I tried to hide in his chest.

"Perry, I'm so sorry." I heard Matt say, then Beau spoke up,

"We do care about you Per, you're like a part of our family now." he said. It was silent for a while. Suddenly Elliot started laughing, I didn't look to see what he was laughing at but then I heard him say,

"Oh my God, sorry for laughing but Beau, I put her phone back together and man, you've gotta see her lock-screen." Ugh. My lock screen was a picture of Beau shirtless... I heard him laugh.

"You were my biggest fan all along weren't you, babe?" he said chuckling, and he kissed the top of my head.

...

We had all fallen asleep and were awakened by Jared's alarm on his phone. It was 6:30, so we had only slept an hour since we had last fallen asleep. All the boys shuffled out, going to get dressed and head downstairs to the free breakfast that hotels give. Beau got up and pulled on his clothes, then I stood up and just hugged him. He held me there and just swayed with me.

"You're okay Perry, I've got you." He said. Eventually he pulled away, I put on my jeans and my bra, then pulling Beau's shirt over my head. I put on my shoes last. Beau grabbed both our phones and the card key to our room and put them in his pockets.

"C'mon Baby, lets go get some food." He whispered to me. I grabbed his hand and we walked down the hall. I'm so tired.

I felt bad cause I kept bumping into Beau because I couldn't even walk in a straight line.

"Sorry," I said,

"You're okay Per," He said and chuckled. We got to the lobby and sat down with the rest of the BTF crew.

"Good morning Perry, Good morning Beau." Elliot said, trying to stay optimistic.

"Good morning," I grumbled, falling asleep on the table. Beau kissed the top of my head,

"I'm gonna go get up breakfast, okay Per?" He said. I just nodded, I'm so tired. I thought again. I drifted off into sleep...

Beau shook me awake,

"Perry, I brought you your food," He said, placing the plate in front of me.

"Thank you," I barely mumbled. He sat down next to me and started eating his food, I sat there and shuffled my food around on my plate. He had brought me some eggs, bacon and some toast with jelly on it. I took a few bites and continued to play with my food, Beau took notice.

"Baby, eat." He said, tapping his fork on the edge of my plate. I took a few more bites, just to make him happy.

"So where are we going today, boys?" I asked, nibbling on some toast.

"We're goin up to Seattle, and a few small venues in Washington," Elliot replied, he seemed so excited. I smiled back, I checked my phone to find it on 10%. Shit. Then I checked my messages to find quiet a long angry message from Ashley, which was wonderful of course. I then checked instagram to find a shit load of new followers, just to amuse them, I took a picture of the boys and I eating breakfast, and posted it. Eventually, we all made our way to the bus, and did our daily doings on bus life. Although this time, instead of being boss at videogames, I plugged in my phone and fell asleep in Beau's bunk.
