Complicated - Zach Herron

Chapter Two : Limelight?

Upon arriving outside such a gorgeous venue, Danica rushed us inside seeing that we were running late; as always. I thought it was kinda strange how there was an old man following us but I ignored it and continued following my friends. Maybe I was just being paranoid?

We are currently going to "limelight" right now, still unsure on what that is exactly. Maybe like some type of meet and greet? No idea. We eventually reached a room with about 20 other girls hanging out.

"So basically we get about an hour to hang out with the boys, then we go into another room to take pictures. After all that is done we go watch the show, which we have barricade seats so we are right there at the stage." Dani explained as I sat down on a sofa next to the door.

All the girls here are absolutely drop dead gorgeous! I am nothing compared to them. A few minutes went by before everyone ran towards a door on the other side of the room.

Guess the boys have officially arrived for this limelight thing. Instead of being like everyone else I just decided to get on Twitter and chill out while my friends have fun meeting their husbands.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing over here all alone?" Someone asked standing in front of me.

I looked up and noticed it was the old man from outside earlier. I just kept quiet hoping he would get the hint and go away but he obviously had other plans.

"Thanks but please leave me alone." I asked, getting up feeling very freaked out.

He grabbed my hand as I walked away but I pulled it to my side and backed up a little. He kept following till I could not back up anymore and was stuck in the corner!

Just Great, the one day I decide to leave the house, I get harassed by some old pervert. Just my luck.

"Don't touch me!" I snapped, slapping his hand away as he reached up to grab me again.

"Be quiet and come on. This will be quick." He said winking and yanking me towards the door.

At this point I was beyond terrified and had no idea what to do. I couldn't make out any words, my body was in shock, my mind isn't processing. The only thing on my mind was the stories Nevaeh would tell me about sex trafficking.

As we reached the exit thankfully someone grabbed ahold of my waist pulling me back towards them.

"What do you think you're doing?" They asked as the man let go of me.

The voice was honestly really soothing and made me feel safe instantly. I felt like I was on cloud 9, from just their touch.

"She's my daughter and we are going home." The man lied grabbing me again and attempted to pull me out the door but I held onto the door frame with my other hand.

"Let me go!" I yelled starting to freak out as I tried pulling my hand away from him but he only got stronger, someone punched him and he quickly let me go.

Due to him letting me go I went flying back onto the floor. My breathing started getting heavy and I started freaking out even more as I watched my best friend run over with another boy to make sure I was okay.

No matter what they were telling me, I couldn't hear them nor were they helping. My chest started hurting and I began getting dizzy. I felt someone pick me up and carry me to another room with Danica quickly following to make sure I was safe.

That same feeling I felt a few minutes ago soon came back as I listened as the voice sing to me and rocked me back and forth. My body relaxed at his touch and my breathing slowly went back to normal.
