A Story With No End *Robert Manion*

3

*skip to opening night*

I stood out front waiting for my parents and considering no one knew who I was they didn't bother taking a second glance. I held onto their tickets until I heard girls screaming
"OH MY GOD ROBERT"
"ROBERT"
"DAD"
"Woahhh slow down I'm not anyone's dad. Haha" I heard his voice then felt him come up to me "30 minutes y/n. Just leave their tickets at will call" I let out a sigh and nodded right as girls swarmed him "I'll take pictures with everyone after the show I promise" he winked at me before walking back through the stage door. I set the tickets and will call
"Hey these are for my parents"
"Sure thing y/n/n" the will call lady said. Once I turned around to walk to the stage door the group of girls crowded me
"How do you know Robert"
"Are you two dating"
"ADOPT ME"
"I'm sorry, I have to go" I said politely and walked passed them and quickly through the stage door. To see Robert leaning against the wall waiting for me "you waited" I smiled sweetly while also crossing my arms
"Had to make sure you were actually coming inside" he smiled I rolled my eyes playfully and linked arms with him
"Shall we get dressed professor" I laughed
"Indeed we shall madame" I laughed as we both split up to go to our respected dressing room.

I looked out the wing towards the crowd and looked at the empty reserved seats in the front. I looked down and felt Robert come up beside me
"They didn't come..." I looked at him with tears in my eyes. He looked at me sympathetically and grabbed my hand squeezing it slightly "I don't know why I expected anything different" I heard the music start and removed my hand from his quickly drying my eyes and getting to my spot

I got off stage after Not your Seed completely out of breathe Robert lifted my chin and smiled then got ready for Show stopping number. I watched him intently the whole time as a smile tugged at my lips. Once he got off stage I grabbed him by the cheeks and connected our lips. I pulled away and he smiled at me. I cleared my throat and wiped the lipstick off his lips. Then ran off to get into my 'army' outfit. I turned to walk out of the dressing room and Jamie looked at me smirking
"What..." I said walking towards the stage with her
"Oh nothing... just that Robert has red lipstick on his lips"
"Shut up" I laughed quietly and got ready to go on.

The show was over and I was packing my bag slowly as I read the text from my parents
'Sorry sweetie something came up'
"Something always comes up" I mumbled to myself sadly
*knock knock*
I looked over and saw Robert
"Do you wanna come to dinner with me and my family, Uh I mean I don't want to rub it in that they came-"
"I'd love to Robert" I said cutting him off. We interlocked fingers and walked to the stage door. We removed our hands before opening the door so we don't get attacked by fan girls. We split up and I happily signed autographs for the small group of people that asked specifically me to. I sat on a bench by where I was and waited for everyone else to the sign the autographs for people. Robert came up to a grabbed my hand and lead me to his family
"Now remember my family is very strongly Australian" he laughed and I smiled
"I think I'll enjoy to know where you came from" he smiled at me and booped my nose. "Gross" I laughed and got in his car to drive to the restaurant

I walked into my apartment and D/N ran to me
"Hey how was opening night" Rhi said looking over the couch at me
"Hey. It was good. Thanks for watching Him/Her here. Sucks that their sick" I said and she shrugged
"Did you find someone to watch them so I could come tomorrow night?" She asked
"Yeah Robert parents said they would." I yawned
"Oooooh rooobbbeeerrrt"
"Shut up Rhi" I laughed and flopped down on the couch next to her
"Do you want me to stay here tonight to make sure D/N is ok. So that you get sleep for your matinee" she asked
"That would be lovely if you could" I said half asleep
"Come on sleepy head get to your bed" she said helping me up. She then grabbed a pillow and blanket out of the cupboard and walked towards the couch
"Night y/n/n" she yelled
"Night" I said back

I woke up and grabbed my stuff then walked towards Robert's apartment. I unlocked it with the key he gave me and saw all the lights were off. I set my stuck down and walked towards his room to see him still asleep. I turned the light on and pulled the blanket off of him
"WAKE UP" I yelled
"AH" he screamed and fell off the bed "I'm so gonna get you for that" he said and started chasing me through the apartment. He finally caught up to me and gave me a hug from behind leaning his chin on my shoulder
"Come on sleepy head. We have a matinee today. And I want lunch" I said and he groaned then walked to his room
"I'm gonna shower get comfortable" he said and I jumped onto his bed and scrolled through my phone.
He came out with a towel hung dangerously low on his hips. My mouth fell open and he smirked at me
"Take a picture it lasts longer" he carried clothes back into the bath room and got dressed. I shook my head slightly and filmed him coming out of the bathroom running a towel through his hair for my Snapchat
"Could you not" he laughed and then proceeded to tackle me and tickle me.
"St-st-stop" I laughed and he sat up slightly with his arms on either side of my head he stared into my eyes for a bit and I removed contact and cleared my throat.
"Um let's go to lunch" I said and he nodded standing up then helping me up.
