The Broadway Boy That Shared His Name

Day Off and Crying Josh

Blue's P.O.V:

"I can't believe on your day off you chose to perform," Ruby laughed.

"Performing is my life," I chuckled as I smoothed out my navy blue skater skirt.

Emerald zipped up my black crop top. I sat down in the makeup chair and Ana began to do my makeup. Josh and Cameron were talking about some game that recently came out. I chuckled to myself as my phone binged.

"What does it say Emerald?" I asked as Ana began my eye shadow.

"Griffin's here with Jude," Emerald read.

"Okay, good to know," I laughed as Ana finished up my makeup.

"You know Griffin and I are fine now," Josh stated.

"I know but I just don't want you to be overprotective like you have been in the past," I shrugged.

"And you know I am sorry for going off on you this past Monday," Josh apologized.

"I know," I smiled at him as I kissed him softly.

"What songs are you performing?" Cameron asked.

"I will be performing The Boy Next Door, Promise Me, Suburban Moment and Trading In My Gun," I explained as Ana curled my hair.

"Those are some big throwbacks babe," Josh chuckled softly, "And you're still wearing that promise ring around your neck."

"I haven't taken it off unless it's to shower," I smiled at Josh through the mirror.

"You're on in five Ms.Blue," The stage manager smiled as she opened the door to the dressing room.

I began doing some vocal warm ups. Josh, Cameron, Ruby and Emerald all joined in. We went through my usual warm ups and then began to head for the stage. I put in my blue earpiece and took the mic from the stage manager. I smiled at her as everyone headed out to the audience to watch the show.I took a deep breath and smiled as they announced my name. I walked out on stage and waved at the audience as they cheered for me. I began performing and locked eyes with Josh. I smiled at him and he smiled right back.

Once I finished performing, I went back to my dressing room. I took out my earpiece and put it in its case. I took my hair and threw it up into a messy bun. I grabbed my backpack and threw my stuff into it. I slung the backpack on my shoulder and walked out of the dressing room just to be engulfed in a hug by Josh. I laughed as he spun me around. I kissed him softly just as he put me down.

"You did amazing Blue," Josh gushed.

"Thank you cutie," I giggled as I booped his nose.

"My wifey! You were amazing!" Ana yelled as she pulled me into a hug.

"Thanks b," I laughed as I pulled away and got pulled into a hug by Cameron.

"You did great Little Blue," Cameron chuckled.

"What did I say about calling me Little Blue?" I groaned as I pulled away from him.

I looked around, "Where's Ruby and Emerald?"

"They were just right behind us," Ana stated as she turned around and they weren't behind her.

I heard a scream and I took off, the three of them hot on my trail. Not again. I pushed through my fans hearing some people saying I was being rude. I didn't care at this moment of time. I just cared where Emerald and Ruby were.

"Emerald? Ruby?" Josh yelled over the music that was being blasted.

I ran out the back of the performance space and pushed a door into the back alley. I spotted the worst thing in my life. Two guys who had black ski masks on held Ruby and Emerald at gunpoint. Both Ruby and Emerald had duct tape over their mouths.

"Release the girls!" Cameron yelled just as security came out after us.

"Shoot them and I will kill you!" Josh screamed, his face red with anger.

Tears were streaming down both of their faces. I mouthed to them 'Breathe'. Security tried to push past Josh and I but we didn't let them pass us.

"If he takes one more step the girls get it," One of the men roared as his hand that the gun is in shakes.

"Josh, stay back," I whispered as I grabbed his arm.

"Get your filthy hands off of them and let them go now!" Josh yelled, "I swear to god I will kill both of you, you bastards!"

"Hey, nobody needs to die here. Listen, just set down your guns and give the girls to me and nothing will happen," I said.

"How do you know they won't shoot us?" The other man asked as he motioned towards the security.

"I promise they won't. Just set down your guns, release the girls and they will not shoot," I explained as I stepped forward.

"It wasn't supposed to happen like this. All she said was to get the girls and hand them over and we'd get the money," The same man explained.

"Who said?" Ana asked.

"Makih," The guy said.

That bitch.

"Where is she right now?" I asked them.

"We don't know. She told us to call her once we had the girls," The other man stated.

"Please, just put down the guns. They are only 11 years old, you are scaring them to death," I stated, calmly.

Both of the guys slowly put down the guns and released the girls. Ruby and Emerald sprinted over to me and I grabbed both of them in a hug as the security ran past us, taking the two men into custody. I took off the duct tape from Ruby and Emerald's mouth and just held them both as they cried. Josh took them out of my grip and held onto them.

"Ruby. Emerald. I am so sorry this happened to you," Josh cried just as Griffin and Jude ran over to us.

"Hey is everyone okay?" Griffin asked.

"Now we are," I smiled just before breaking down.

Griffin pulled me into a hug as I just cried into his chest.

"What happened?" Jude asked as he rubbed my back.

"Those two guys held Ruby and Emerald at gunpoint and threatened to shoot them. There is going to be major trauma here," Ana explained.

"Oh my god, I can only imagine. What the fuck. Who would do that?" Jude asked.

"Makih," Ana stated.

"That stupid bitch," Griffin growled.

"You know her?" Cameron asked.

"Yeah. Before you came around, Kyle, Emma and I had to stand up to Makih for Blue," Griffin explained.

"This is all my fault," I cried.

"Blue this is not your fault," Cameron stated, "I just cannot believe someone would go to that extreme extent. But right now, we have got to focus on Ruby and Emerald being safe."

"Safe and traumatized! They are only 11 years old and have been held at gunpoint!" I cried even harder.

Security walked us to our apartment building and we took it from there. I helped Josh carry a sleeping Ruby and Emerald to my apartment. I unlocked the door and opened it. We walked inside and I closed the door behind me, locking it. I followed Josh into the twin's room and helped him lay down the girls. I changed Ruby out of her clothes and into pajamas while Josh changed Emerald into pajamas. Once the girls were set, Josh and I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.

"I can't believe what just happened," I sighed.

"I know," Josh whispered, "How are you?"

"I've been better," I shrugged.

Josh gave me a kiss on the forehead before picking me up and bringing me to my bedroom. He plopped us down on my bed and I laughed before I pulled him into a kiss.

"Blue, I should head out so you can sleep," Josh softly smiled.

"Josh," I started, "Please stay."

"Why, babe?" Josh asked.

"I'm still scared," I whispered.

"Okay babe. I stay with you."
