On the Road- Awsten Knight Waterparks

Chapter Five

Isla's POV:

I watched the show from the side of the stage. When Awsten played 21 questions I could help but sing along, it's my favourite song!

After the show, I started to take the equipment down and pack it up.

"Hey! How were we?" Awsten made me jump causing me to drop the wires I was wrapping up.

"Jeez! You're like a mouse. I'm going to make you wear a bell! And you guys were awesome." I chuckled and smiled at the cute blue boy sipping water.

"Thanks but we wouldn't have sounded so good if it wasn't for you." I blushed. Damn why is my body against me?

"Oh stop it! I just adjusted some speakers and levels. The venues tech did most of it." I continued to wrap up wires and put stuff back into their correct cases.

"Hey let me give credit where credit is due. When your done I think they are having a 'first night' after party on the bus. They're probably already drunk, except Otto." He smiled and took a seat on the edge of the stage.

"Oh I'm not much of a partier. I would much rather just watch Netflix in bed or edit some songs." I shook my head. I had always felt on the outside when I was a young teen because all my 'friends' were out having a party in a field. I just drank and tried to fit in but I was never myself. So from 15, I decided that I just wasn't going to drink.

"Sounds like a perfect night. I don't get those people who spend all their time and money on getting drunk." Awsten spoke softly.

"Beats me. My uncle used to drink and smoke a lot. It just put me off. I didn't like the person it made him." I sighed, closing a amp case.

"My ex, she was a different person when she drank. I just don't get why so many people drink." I nodded.

"Try living in Britain, where the national pass time is going to the pub for a pint!" I laughed and so did Awsten. "Help me carry the rest back to the van. It's just the last few cases."

We both lifted as much as we could, it only took two trips to get the rest of the equipment back to the van. I checked the stage and the green room for anything left over, before heading back to the bus.

The bus smelt of beer and testosterone. It was quite rowdy as they were playing Mario kart. I managed to secure the bathroom and brushed my teeth and washed off my makeup. I got into my pyjamas, a pair of cotton shorts and a clean comfy tee shirt.

I wasn't keen on my legs but I got too warm at night. I'm sure no one would be looking anyway.

I tied my hair up into a ponytail and went to get some water from the fridge.

"Hey baby girl. You wearing those for me?" His hand grabbed my waist and his alcohol laced breath pricked my neck.

"Let go of me Evan." I spoke a slight waver in my confidence.

"Don't get mouthy with me, bitch." He harshly whispered in my ear and pulled me closer towards him. I tried to wriggle my way out of his grip but it only made him hold me tighter.

"Don't think you can prance around here thinking you're better than me. You're just another fat slut. You're mine, okay." He put his poisonous lips to my neck. I froze.

His hands trailed down my waist onto my bum. This shook me out of my frozen state. I closed my hand into a fist and sent it flying backwards into his never regions.

He fell to the floor. The bus was moving. I couldn't escape. I started to panic. I ran into the bathroom and locked the door behind me as fast as I could.
