Secretly Talented

Chapter 19

Chapter 19  

It's been two months since I realized that I was in love with Alex. Our band has been on tour opening for bigger bands and I haven't had any more threatening calls. I feel safer when I'm with Bryce so pretty much all the time. We've gotten much closer and he's now one of my bestfriends. Sometimes I have the feeling that someones watching me but whenever I look around nobody's there. I've gotten extremely paranoid but Bryce and Alex both assure me that it's ok to be that way not that I believe them. We just got done with our 7th show and now were hanging out backstage while everything gets packed up. I've also gotten closer to everyone in the band especially Victor I was so happy to get to know him again but at sometimes he can be a little creepy. For example we were talking about my mom, dad, and sister a couple days ago and everytime either of us said dead or died he would get a small smile on his lips. He tried to hide it but I always saw it. I didn't tell anybody in the band about the stalker. I don't want them worrying about me. 

"Hey Emma wait up!" someone called from behind me as I was walking to our bus. I turned around and saw Alex running toward me. I smiled and waved at him. At this point I was positive that I loved him I'm not sure what it was but something told me that I was. He finally caught up to me and pulled me into a hug. I was thrown off guard by this so I just stood there like an oaf and let him hold me. "Are you ok Alex?" I asked him after a couple minutes. "Emma you scared me half to death! You know your not supposed to leave by yourself!" he almost yelled at me. I slapped my forehead and said "I'm so sorry Alex I've become careless again." He laughed softly and put his hands on both sides of. my face and kissed me softly. He pulled back and looked me straight in the eyes and said "I need to say this now unless something happens and I don't get another chance..." I smiled and said "What's wrong babe?" "Emma Cowell I am hopelessly and positively in love with you. I love you." My smile got even bigger and I kissed him again. Before things got to heated I pulled away and put my forehead against his and said "I love you too."  

We just stood there for a couple minutes before I said "I'm gonna go use the restroom before we leave and then I'll be back I promise." He nodded then got on the bus. I walked to bathroom and went inside. When I was in the stall I heard someone else come into the bathroom. I flushed then went to the sink to wash my hands and freshen up before we went for another long ride. As I scrubbed my hands someone grabbed me from behind and covered my eyes and mouth. I struggled and tried to get away but whoever had me was a lot stronger than me. I felt them put a damp cloth on my mouth after I struggled for a couple minutes and everything went black.
