Used To Be Lonely

Chap 5

Blake's POV

My phone was ringing and it was Alexis. I picked up. "Hello."

"Hey. Can you come see me?"

"What's wrong?"

"Well, let's see. After you dropped me off two days ago, I went to Nathan's and witnessed my parents murder. We were running." She sighed. "I was tied up for one on a train but I managed to get out. We're alive and okay. I'm headed to my friend who lives in Austin right now."

"Look, I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Okay. Love you Blake."

"Love you too. Text me the address," I hung up. "You've got to be kidding me."

"What?" asked Drew.

"I gotta head to Austin."

"Denver cancelled the show," said Jonnie walking in. "Two weeks in Austin?"

"Perfect," I said. "We need to swing by a place in Austin so I can talk to Alexis."

"What happened?" asked Jonnie.

"She witnessed her parents' murder and I don't know how she's doing." I started packing. "All I know is that she's alive and she says she's okay but I have to see her." I got done. "Can we go now?"

"Yeah," said Jonnie. "Everyone in the van."

We all got in the van. "Okay, she texted me the address," I said. I typed it into the GPS. "There we go. Now we know where to go." My phone started ringing and it was Alexis. "Hey."

"Hey," said Alexis. "We're at a gas station right now."

"Well, what all happened?"

"Well, I saw my parents murder and I saw their murderer. I found my parents aren't my parents but they were assigned to protect me. Then, next thing I know I'm talking to the CIA and I was being chased my them."

"What does the CIA want with you?"

"Apparently I knew sensitive information on Nathan Price and, honestly, I don't know anything other than he's my friend."

"That's not information."

"Yeah, I got that. But I'm headed to Britney's in Austin and hopefully she'll give me a place to rest my head for the night."

"I think she will. Considering how you guys talked the other night." I smiled. "She really cares for you so I'm sure she'll let you sleep over."

"Yeah. Just wish I can be at your Denver concert."

"About that." I sighed. "Denver cancelled the show so we'll be in Austin for two weeks. I have two weeks with you."

"It's Tuesday." I nodded. "I have at least twelve days with you if not less."

"We'll make it work," I said. "I promise."

"I have to call Britney," said Alexis. "I'll talk to you later."

"Okay," I said. "Goodnight."

"Night," said Alexis as she hung up.

"I don't know if she's okay," I said. "She sounds normal over the phone but I'm not physically and mentally sure."

Britney's POV

Alexis was coming over with her friend. I told her she can spend the night and her friend can have the couch. The doorbell rang. "I got it," I said. I opened the door. "Hey." I hugged her. "You okay?"

"Not really," said Alexis. "Britney, this is Nathan. Nathan, Britney."

"Nice to meet you," I said shaking his hand. He shook and smiled at me. "You, Nathan, you can have the couch. Alexis, you can share my room with me."

"Okay," said Alexis.

"Come in," I said closing the door behind them. I put a couple blankets and pillow on the couch. "Hope that okay for the night."

"Thank you," said Nathan.

"No problem." I grabbed Alexis's suitcase. "Come on."  She followed me to my room. "This is my room."

"I love your room." She sat on the bed. "Since I'm here now, why not just give me my gift?"

"I can't rush it," I smiled.

"Okay." She nodded. "Oh, I have a guest tomorrow, I hope you don't mind."

"Who?"

"You'll see tomorrow." She smirked. "I promise, you'll love them."

"Okay. I'm trusting you on that."

"Oh, I promise you it's the best. He's coming to check on me." I looked at Alexis. "And Blake told me they'll be doing two concerts in Austin because Denver cancelled their show."

"OMFG! Seriously!" I exclaimed. "Okay, we need to find out where they'll be the next few days."

"We are not going to stalk them."

"Why not?"

"Because, we just aren't." Alexis took off her shoes. "I can find out where Blake is since I have his number but if he's with the guys, we got them all."

"You have Blake's number?!" I looked at her in shock. "It took you long enough."

"I had to earn it. It wasn't easy." She smiled. "We exchanged numbers when we were in the van coming to Fort Worth."

"You're so lucky."

"I'm just happy he trusts me enough to actually give me his number."

We fangirled a lot about After Romeo and passed out just fangirling about the guys.
