Unknown // Corbyn Besson

~Chapter Sixteen~

Corbyn's POV

Emma's been awfully distant since she got here. Yeah, she hangs out with me when I'm around but she's stopped going out into public or anywhere she can be sen with me. After soundcheck I asked if she wanted to go somewhere to get something to eat, she denied and then we just ordered some food to be delivered.

I mean, I can totally see why she doesn't want to go out in public somewhere. She's a very reserved person and doesn't really like people, and to be seen out in public with me would completely change that. Amelia mentioned to me that Emma had a very troubled past and struggles to interact and trust people. She doesn't want to fall down the wrong path again, I'm not too sure what that means but I have an idea. Which makes me surprised that she trusts me but I  mean, I'll take that as a compliment.

I'm going to try my best to get her out of her comfort zone a little bit, try and explore something while she's away with me. I want her to be as comfortable as possible but open up to people a little, including me.

She was on her phone before soundcheck and hasn't gone on it since. I hope that my fans haven't gotten to her yet, it's only been a few hours since they saw her for the first time. I pulled out my phone and went onto instagram. I searched up her name and luckily I found her straight away. I saw that she had about 2 thousands followers and most were limelights. Shit, they found her already.

I knew that following her was only going to cause more attention, but I did it anyway. I then scrolled through the little amount of pictures she had, mainly of her and Amelia. I then turned my phone off and walked into the room that Jonah was in, who was eating before we go on tonight.

"How's Emma holding up?" Jonah asked.

"She's fine?" I questioned. "Why? Did something happen?" His eyes went wide and he seemed kind of confused. "Jonah, what happened?"

"Nothing, she's fine" he said, turning away from me.

Ok, he's definitely lying to me. Jonah doesn't like confrontation.

"Jonah," I said sternly.

"Mhm" he hummed in response.

"Where's Emma?" I asked again.

"I don't know," he shrugged. "I'm being completely honest, I don't know"

"Then what happened? What aren't you telling me?"

I was starting to get really concerned about everything. I've known Emma for a couple months and she means something to me. If something's wrong, I need to know.

"I don't really know what happened, but she got a phone call from someone and walked out of the room. Amelia then rushed after her a couple minutes later. I'm being completely honest"

"Ok, thanks bro" I said and walked out of the room.

I checked all over the backstage area of the arena and couldn't find her anywhere. I then ran over to the bus and ran past the girls without saying anything, I hope that doesn't give me any backlash.

I opened the door and shut it behind me.

"Emma!" I yelled.

"She's in here" I heard Amelia yell from the back of the bus. I felt a little bit relaxed knowing that she was in here and Amelia wasn't stressing, so I'm guessing that she's ok.

I walked in and saw her crouched in a ball in the corner of the room crying.

"Try and make conversation, if not just rub her back and let her cry" Amelia whispered and then walked off.

"Emma" I said softly and sat down beside her. I wrapped my arm around her and she leaned her head on my shoulder.

"I-I" she stuttered.

"Shhh. You don't have to tell me anything. I'm here for you either way" I said, trying to comfort her.

She nodded her head. I rubbed her back and sat there while she was crying.

"I want to tell you, I think you need to know," she said, pulling away from me.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

She nodded her head. "It's about time you learn about my past"
