Mind is a Prison [an Alec Benjamin fanfic]

six

I woke up alone. Tv was off. Stars filled the sky. And there was no sight of Alec.
Typical me started to worry. I didn't see anyone. The bus wasn't moving. I didn't know where I was. I was starting to panic. I ran upstairs to the bunks and ran straight into someone, causing me to fall to the floor.
"Oh my god Emma I'm so sorry." I heard a familiar voice, Alec. He bent down to help me up but I pushed him away. "You scared me!" He can definitely see the hot tears rolling down my cheeks. "Baby I'm sorry. I just came up here to get my charger" I just gave in and rapped my arms around his neck, embracing him in a hug. His arms wrapped around my waist and his head rested in the crook of my neck. "Please don't do that again" "I won't. I'm sorry princess." "Where did everybody go?" "Into the store to buy some snacks."
We walked back to the couch and lates there until jack came back with food.
"Whatcha got?" Alec says making me laugh.
"Well, tons of chips, drinks, candy, that's mainly for Noah (lighting crew member), and gum" Jack says.
We are all digging into the snacks when I get a phone call.
From- (123)456-7890
Hello?

Hello is this Emma Jackson?

This is she.

I have called to inform you that we are calling you to testify for the charges against Jasper Logan.

B-but I already testified! He went to court and to jail for a year!

Miss Jackson he recently was released and committed another crime. We need to testify.

W-when?

9 months. The date was pushed back for unknown reasons but the date is October 25th.

Okay

We will send you more information but thank you for your time

And with that I hung up.
I couldn't believe it.
All this time and I have to go back? Relive the day I've been dreading. Good thing the trial is after the tour. But what am I going to tell Alec. I just try to brush it off as nothing. I'll tell him eventually. Just not now. I'm not ready to tell him.
I walk towards the group, who is now a foot deep in all the food jack bought.
"Everything okay?" Alec asks. "Yep. Everything's fine." "Good" "Want anything Emma?" "No thanks Jack"
I sit at the table and scroll through Twitter. I am very active on Twitter and I always posts about almost everything. Recently in the past few days I've been inactive. I check my following and sure enough. He follows me. Jasper. And his last post was 2 days ago. Great. I guess I'm going to have to be cutting down on what I say. Just so that he doesn't come to find me or any of that shit.
Well I was so deep into my mind that I didn't even see Alec sit right in front of me.
"Hey princess. I was thinking and, well, how do you wanna tell everybody?"
"Tell everyone what?" "Well, about us?" "How about we both just make a post on instagram? Disable the comments so there are no mean comments?" "That sounds like a great idea. I'll post it tomorrow"
I smile at him and relax until the first show. We are about 30 minutes away from the venue so Jack calls us all into the main area to talk to us.
"Okay Alec, all I have for you is to have fun. Be yourself just don't get carried away. Noah, just don't mess up the lights. And Emma, take pictures of the fans and of Alec. Practice with angles and take as many as you can. You will be editing them when we get back. Also with the videos, just take as many as you want." We all give him thumbs ups. "Let's have a great show guys. We are a tad late so once we get there Alec you have to go get changed and get your guitars ready. Then we will perform immediately."
With that the bus arrives. We all hop out. Alec with his guitar, Noah with his computer. And me with my cameras. Just like jack said the show started almost immediately. I've never seen him live but it blew me away when everyone started to sing. It was like millions of people where singing. The fans had so much passion in their voices. For him. And for the songs. I took some pictures, and videos. When the show ended I was waiting for him backstage. I expected him to go straight for water or to talk to jack but boy was I wrong. He took of his guitar and handed it to Noah. He then proceeded to run over to me. He lifted me up, hugged me, and spun me around. I wrapped my legs around his torso so I wouldn't fall. He places his lips onto mine, enclosing the gap between us. Little did either of us know, but Jack was filming us the entire time. Alec spun me around a few times. Slowly setting me down gently and walking over to jack. He took him somewhere backstage. It was time for him to meet all his fans now.
I stood from afar. Capturing some really cute moments. The fan base he has is incredible.
A lot of people showed up. One girl even wanted a picture with me. Alec said it was cute. But I could really get used to this tour life.
"Umm excuse me? Ma'am?" I snap out of my thoughts when a little girl tries to get my attention. "Oh I'm sorry" "it's okay. Can you please take a picture of Alec and I?" "Of course"
The girl was about 5. She was so cute. Her mom handed me her phone and went over to stand my Alec. He held the little girl in his arms. Like she was his own. He was so great with kids. She asked him if he could adopt her. Her mom laughed. Along with Alec. When he said sure she jumped for joy. When they left Alec went back to the dressing room and I was told to go back to the bus. I waited there for a while.
I questioned weather dating Alec is a good idea. I know I shouldn't think that but I did anyways. I've practically told him everything. Well, almost everything. I don't know how he would feel if I told alec about, him. Jasper. The darkest part of my past. He knows I can't have kids. He just doesn't know why. It breaks my heart to know that I've kept this from him. But I'll tell him eventually. Just not now. For gods sake not right now.
