Our Little Secret

Trapped by the Devil

We thanked the crowd and went back stage. Lynn was the first to take of the wig and obnoxious makeup we all had on "That was so much fun!" She yelled once we got into the dressing room. "It was but are the costumes really necessary?" Amber asked "Of course would you rather be attacked by swarms of people while just trying to get something from the store?" I asked walking into the bathroom to change out of the skirt and dress shirt I was wearing into ripped black jeans and a Green Day tee
"Hurry up!" Lynn yelled while banging on the door. "Alright! Alright!" I yelled back taking out the contacts I had in.
"Where are my glasses?" I asked waking out of the bathroom. I felt my glasses get placed on my face and now I can see.
"How's my favorite Irishman doing after that show?" Amber asked hanging on my shoulders
"You're already drunk and without me?" I asked she handed me a half drank bottle of beer.
"Thanks love." I said taking the drink and finishing it off.
"Hey Lynnie." Amber said stumbling from me to her. "We left Amber alone for a minute and she's already drunk. That's lovely who's the sober driver?" Lynn asked. I held up the empty bottle
"I live near by so I'll just walk my self home." I told her. I stood up and got on my high tops. "I love you guys." I said putting my guitar in its case.
"We love you too Emmy." Amber said falling onto the couch.
"See you later Emma." Lynn said as I walked out of the room.

I snuck out of the back of the venue and went out to the street. I sling my guitar case around my shoulder and made my way to my flat. I looked behind me to see a man following a while behind me. I picked up my speed a bit. I turned a corner and went into the small restaurant that was there "Hello I have an order for Emma ready for pick up." I said pulling out my wallet.
"That'll be $21.58 please." The lady at the register said putting a paper bag on the counter. I pulled out a twenty and two ones and putting my wallet in my back pocket
"Keep the change." I said grabbing the bag and walking out
"Thank you and come again!" She yelled after me. I was about to cross the street when I noticed the same guy from before following me again. My phone started to buzz " 'Ello." I said answering the call
"Hey Em it's Lynn remember the weird guy at the barricade?" She asked
"Yeah why?" I asked. I came to the crosswalk before my flat
"Yeah um I think he is following you." She said worried.
"Well i thinks so too but I'm almost to my flat ." I said as the crosswalk turned green I looked out for cars and made my way across. I got my keys from my pocket and held them tightly making my way to the building.  "Okay well be careful. Don't want our only good guitarist going missing." She said. I entered my building and made my way up the stairs. "Don't worry I'll be fine I'm at my flat now." I told her unlocking the door. "Good and it's an apartment get it right, love you Emmy." She said before hanging up. I opened the door. I walked in and locked the door behind me. I set my guitar on its stand and took a shower. I cleaned my self off in the warm water before changing into the clothes I brought in the bathroom before I left for the show. I went to my room and laid down.

After a bit of relaxing there was a knock at the door. I sighed getting up and closing the door to the room. I opened the door slightly "May I help you?" I asked the person at the door
"Um yeah could you not play your guitar at one in the morning?" The guy asked
"Why not? I hear you and I'm guessing some mates screaming at the top of your lungs at one in the morning." I sassed
"Okay my brother's room is apparently right next to yours so maybe you could just not use an amp or keep it at a low volume?" He questioned
"Well if you're brother has a problem with it send him over. Now if you don't mind I've had a long night and I'm going to go get some rest. Goodnight sir." I said closing the door before he could answer.

I went back to my room and before I could lay down there was another knock on the door. I rolled my eyes and went back to where the door is "Yes?" I asked opening the door
"Look you seem nice and all but- wait is that a 'Trapped by the Devil' poster?" The same from before guy asked
"Yeah why?" I asked getting annoyed
"Because I've never seen that particular one anywhere before." He said
"I'm guessing you're a fan of that band." I said
"Yeah but seriously where did you get the poster?" He asked
"They had them at the show tonight." I lied
"No they didn't." He said
"And how would you know?" I asked
"Because I was at the show." He said I started to yawn.
"Okay how about this tomorrow at maybe eleven in the morning you can come over with your brother and we can all have a discussion and make an agreement alright?" I asked
"Sure but you're telling me where you got the poster from then. The names Gerard Way by the way." He said sticking out his hand "Emma." I said yawning again and shaking his hand.
"We'll see you tomorrow morning." He said and walked off to his flat. I closed the door and went back to my room.
