What Happens In A Small Town

Chapter Twenty-One

K E L S E Y

I can feel my eyes getting heavy ugh, I nudge B with my elbow he looks down at me "yeah darlin?" "I feel like I'm about to crash, I'm going back to the bus, walk with me?"

He nodded "Sure darlin... Just let me tell the guys okay?" I nod at him. "Okay B"

He walks over and tells Luke and Thomas whatever it is he wanted to and walks back over to me "come on let's get you back to the bus" once we get further away from the bonfire and the others, B looks down at me concerned "Kelsey baby what's wrong?"

I shake my head "I don't know B... I just felt like I shouldn't have walked to the bus alone.... Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I just have this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, you know that feeling when the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, like somebody's watching you? I had that feeling earlier. Maybe it's just paranoia but it's freaking me out a little bit"

B punches the code in on the bus and opens the door letting me step up first with him coming up behind me closing the door again.

He grabs my face looking into my eyes "it'll be okay Kelsey, Baby I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, nobody is getting on this bus unless they have the code and paranoia or not, I'm glad you felt the need to have someone with you"

I wrap my arms around his neck "I know B I've always felt safe with you.... What if he found me?" I can feel the tears, I'm not afraid of much but this guy is insane and scares the crap outta me.

I'll get into who HE is later.

"if that's the case then I'll just have to show him again, what happens when someone messes with you" he pulls me against his chest "I'm not gonna let anything happen you I promise you baby girl"

I smile and lean up on my toes and I press my lips against his for a moment "Thanks B" he kisses me on the head "why don't you try and get some sleep okay? I'm just gonna be right out here in the lounge okay?"

"okay, night B" he smiles "good night baby girl"

I walk off towards the back of the bus grabbing some clothes I quickly change into a pair of pajama pants keeping B's hoodie on throwing my hair up into a messy bun.

I crawl into my bunk and close my eyes trying to get some rest.

Once I know that Kelsey is asleep I pull my phone out and call PJ "PJ I know it's late but I need you to come to the bus it's important I wouldn't be calling if it wasn't"

"I'll be there in a minute Boss"

I swear if that asshole is back, there is a good possibility that I will be going to jail. But I will not let him hurt her or near her for that matter.

A minute later I get a text from PJ telling me he's outside. He knows the code to the bus, so I tell him to come on in.

"what is it Boss?"

I give him a serious look "I want you to stick close to Kelsey tomorrow... I don't want her left alone"

PJ nods "Boss what's going on?"

I let out a sigh "I'm not 100 percent sure but something is going on and I want someone with her at all times"

He give me a nod "okay Boss you got it she won't leave my sight"

I give him a nod "thanks PJ and once I know exactly what's going on you will know what it is too"

"Alright Boss is that all?"

"yeah PJ that's all" he turns towards the door of the bus as TR and Lauren get on the bus. He nods at them as he walks off the bus.

TR looks at me "what was that about man?"

"I needed to talk to him for a minute"

Laur smiles "where's Kels?"

"Asleep" she nods and gets a serious look on her face "good... she was acting weird earlier, Lina and I noticed it before we all moved closer to the fire after that she was fine, she kept spacing out and glancing around like she was being watched or something, I don't know what it was about but something has her freaked out"

"She told me... its why PJ was here he's keeping her in his sights tomorrow"

Lauren chuckles "she's not gonna like that but good, Lina and I will try and keep her with us whenever we can"

I know she won't fight it this time "for once she won't argue with it, just trust me on that"

Lauren looks at me "you know something"

"Maybe but I'm not sure, let's just say it better not be what I'm thinking and leave it at that" she nods and drops it walking back into the bunk area of the bus.

Ohhh the drama begins..... I wonder who the HE that Kels and B were talking about is? Hmm, that will be explained in a flashback most likely not the next chapter but the one after that.  Caroline and Lauren learn why Kelsey was so freaked out in the next chapter which will lead to the flashback.
