Nothing Left To Fear (Book 1 of 2)

Trying To Explain

Author's Note: Sorry for the late update:( I got really bad news on the 4th of July, so I've been trying to cope with it all. Luckily, I wrote this chapter before I got the news so that it's not sucky:/ I hope you like it and I'll update as soon as I can.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brianna’s POV:

“What the hell was that about?” I asked. Everybody seemed to think it was funny how clueless I was but I was a little angry that the guys just left us there. “Seriously, what the hell just happened?” Finally someone answered me, but instead of answering with a joking tone, it was sort of serious. “God, didn’t they tell you anything?” Chloe spat. “They’re The Wanted. Huge British/Irish boy band from the UK.” I just sat there realizing what Chloe just said and not being able to believe her. So I looked over to Becca to make sure that Chloe wasn’t just lying to me, and needless to say, Becca nodded her head to reassure me. I was dumbfounded; I couldn’t believe that I was hanging with a famous boy band and I didn’t know it. I feel so stupid, I was the only one who didn’t know and I could tell because I was the only one who looked shocked.

I think the thing that I laughed at during this whole thing was: how Max’s car was getting back to the studio if he ran off with the keys. Well, I guess we’ll see them back at the studio and see how things go. We decided to leave the café after eating, and then jumped into me and Tianna’s cars and headed back to the studio to finish rehearsal.

When we got back to the studio building, there were loads of screaming girls standing outside the doors with security guards holding them off. I didn’t realize how popular the guys were until I saw that some of the girls were crying and others had shirts with the guys’ names on them. I couldn't help but look at the girls because there were so many of them. This was probably one of the toughest group of people to get through. The girls were constantly pushing us and when we finally got to the gate, security wouldn't let us in. "Do we look like fangirls to you?" I spat, obviously still upset. "I don't know. Fangirls come in all ages." The security guard said to me with a smile. I really wanted to punch that smile off his face but I had a better idea: call Jayne.

Me: "Jayne?"

Jayne: "Yes? What's going on? Where are you?"

Me: "Well, the girls and I are stuck outside the studio with screaming and crying fangirls. Mind coming to get us?"

Jayne: "Oh yeah. I'll be right down. Remind me to get you girls passes, so that this doesn't happen again."

Me: "Ok, I would like to not be trapped down here. No offense to the fans."

Jayne: "None taken. I know that they can get quite excited. Anyway, be ready to be pulled past security."

With that sentence, Jayne hung up and I was trying to figure out what she meant. About a minute later, Jayne exited the building and said something to security. A few seconds later, the girls and I were being pulled through the gate by security. Now Jayne's sentence made sense. I was in total shock because the fans were trying to ambush security while they pulled us through. I gotta admit, these girls are dedicated and feisty.

As I guessed, the guys were already in the studio but I didn’t wanna talk to any of them because they didn’t even tell me who they were. I thought we were all becoming friends but I guess I was wrong. The next four hours were really awkward because I wasn’t talking to anyone besides Becca and she knew why. So during break, I walked over to her and began asking questions. “Why didn’t anybody tell me?” I asked her. “I don’t know. I honestly thought that you knew who they were.” “Well obviously not.” I was irritated and I guessed that everybody knew that because next thing I know, I’m being carried into the hallway.

Nathan’s POV:

“I can’t believe that we were stupid enough to sing in a café.” That was all I could say while we ran from the screaming fans. “I think we forgot who we were since we’ve been hanging out with the girls. They treat us like normal guys so we didn’t realize what we were doing until after we started.” Max said. I guess he was right; the girls did treat as though we were normal and I guess that’s what I liked about them. They didn’t treat us as though we were members of The Wanted, we were treated as though we were just their guy friends.

I felt really bad for leaving Brianna without an explanation and I had a feeling that I would get an earful when we got back to the studio. I really hope that she’ll let me explain. “Left!’ Tom yelled, ripping me from my thoughts. When I refocused, I realized that we were only two blocks from the studio and we had to run like our lives depended on it. While running, I had Max call Jayne and tell her that we were gonna need security because of the screaming fans chasing us. I could tell that Jayne was mad because of the way Max kept easing away from the phone. The guys and I began to mentally prepare ourselves for Jayne lecturing us.

Luckily Jayne works fast or else, the studio building would’ve been filled with screaming girls. We got to the studio safe and sound, but I couldn’t help but feel guilty for leaving the girls there. And my feeling of guilt escalated when all the girls got back and Brianna looked angry. I tried talking to her but she wouldn’t talk to anybody but Becca, so I did the most rational thing I could think of: I picked her up and carried her to the hallway. Once we were in the hallway, I ran back into the studio to grab the rest of the guys so that we could explain.

Tom’s POV:

I don’t know what Nathan wanted but it seemed important so I grabbed the rest of the guys and headed into the hallway. Once we were all in the hallway, we all realized what was going on: Nathan wanted us to explain. “So, what do you want?” She spat. “We wanna tell you what happened at the café.” Max said. “I know what happened.” We all looked confused. “You guys left us there to fend for ourselves.” She said. “No, that’s not what happened. Well sorta, but with good reason.” Siva said. “Ok, then explain to me why my five guy friends left me and my five girl friends at a café.” We all stood there trying to figure out who would explain it the best and easiest way. So we all turned and looked at Jay, who looked more than happy to explain what happened.

Jay’s POV:

“Brianna, do you want the long or short story?” I asked, she pondered her options before answering with, “The long story.” I rolled my eyes because I knew that story would take awhile to tell. “Well, if you want the long story, you have to come over to our house. Deal?” She nodded and looked a little relieved. “Yay, house party!!! You think the other girls would wanna come over?” Tom asked. “I don’t know, you should ask.” She jokily replied. And with that, we all walked back into the studio laughing. It felt good for everything to be back to normal.

Tom’s POV:

Brianna told us to see if the others wanted to come over and so I did what she suggested. “So…do you girls wanna come over and have a party?” after I said that Jayne gave me the evil eye. “Not a party with drinking Jayne. Just a party to know each other better.” “Oh, ok because you lads do enough drinking.” Jayne said with a little snicker. “Yeah.” Everybody replied. “What are we even gonna do?” Chelsea asked. I hadn’t really thought of that but I thought we would just order pizza, watch a movie, and then see what happened after that. “We’ll probably just order out, a movie, and then talk. Sound good?” Jay asked. Everybody nodded. I wasn’t sure if Becca was gonna come but I had to make sure she did because I liked her, so I walked over her to see if she was gonna come. “Hey Becca,” she looked as though she was surprised that I was talking to her “are you gonna come over later?” She was silent for a couple seconds, so I turned around to walk away. “Yeah! I’ll be there.” I was so happy that she was coming because I wanted to spend some time with her. I didn’t want her to see how happy I was so I just said, “Ok, see ya then.” And walked away. I had a feeling that tonight was gonna be a great night.
