Fearless (Book 1 of the "Fearless" Series) [Completed]

Chapter 21 - Alone

May 8th, 2012
Hamburg, Germany

[Emmileigh]

The morning after the drunken after party I woke Karsyn up despite her being severly hung over, and together with Donnie, we packed her up in a car Donnie had hired for us and made our way straight to Hamburg.

Deciding to skip out on the Berlin date had been a great idea. Karsyn hadn't been keen on it at first, but after a afternoon of shopping, and a late night spa date Karsyn seemed alot more relaxed.

And I was sure that was because we'd made a pact to keep our mobile phones off and just enjoy herself.

Of course I'd been checking mine. After all, I wasn't keeping myself away from my man.

In fact, it was all thanks to Donnie that we'd gotten to Hamburg as quick as we had.

I'd woken up late this morning to find Karsyn's bed empty. I sat up, wondering where she could be when I noticed the bathroom light on. I climbed out the bed and walked over to the bathroom. I tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Karsyn?"

"H..hang on.. wait a sec!" She sounded startled just before she flushed the toilet chain.

I stood waiting outside the bathroom until I heard the door unlock. Karsyn opened the door and looked at me. "You ok?"

She nodded and walked past me and over to her bed. I didn't miss her slipping her cell phone under her pillow, so knew she'd been in the bathroom to check messages.

Nick had been texting me, so lord knows how much he'd been texting her too. I hadn't answered any of them. I hoped she hadn't either.

[Karsyn]

I wasn't sure if it was possible, but I think I still had a headache from night before last. I hadn't had anything to drink and Emmileigh and I spent the day shopping and relaxing at a spa after getting to Hamburg yesterday. I thought that would cure my hangover, but it hadn't. The only other time I've drunk so much is on the cruise, and there's still parts of that night I don't remember.

I don't even remember what all happened the other night, but Emmileigh clued me in. That and the thousand text messages I've gotten from Nick. Emmileigh doesn't know it, but I've kept checking my phone everytime I would go to the bathroom, or go in somewhere to try on some clothes when we went shopping.

I went to your room and you were gone. Donnie says he doesn't know where you guys are at?

Then the text messages went a little crazier.

You weren't at VIP today and you weren't at the NK VIP thing either. Nobody has seen you and you're not checked into the hotel. Where the FUCK are you?

Then after the concert last night...

YOU WEREN'T AT THE CONCERT?!?

I think Donnie's lying. He ain't that good of an actor. Okay, he's the shit on Blue Bloods, but that's only because Tom Selleck helps him. WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!?

When I woke up this morning and went to the bathroom, I turned my phone on and saw that I had at least ten more text since I last checked during the night.

If you guys went to London or you went back to the States, I'm going to freak out. I see you're reading the text. Now respond!

I'm just going to keep texting.

This is me texting. I just took a shower.

This is me texting again. I swear I think Howie just took some girl to his room. You know you want that gossip.

I'm going to sleep, but the text will continue in the morning.

"I know you're checking your phone," Emmileigh said as I sat on the bed in our hotel suite, flipping the channels on the television. "Nick keeps texting me and said you're reading your text."

"That only proves you're checking your phone, too," I shot back, causing her to grin. "I want him to worry."

"As long as you're not sexting with Joey, you can do what you want," Emmileigh said as I looked away. "Are you?"

"I don't have his phone number and no," I sighed. "I was drunk, obviously. I'm not sure what I was thinking. You were telling me to have a good time, AJ had told me the same. I was trying to have a good time and it just got out of control."

"Who knew Joey was the tour whore?" Emmileigh asked as I cracked up. My phone vibrated and I looked at it to see that it was Nick again.
