unedited because I'm lazy.
Ouch. . . Pain. My chest and face hurt, I opened my eyes to the alley way. I recognised the person sitting in front of me. . . it was one of the crew members finally a familiar face.
“Evie? Are you ok?” his voice laced with concern, I whimper and fall into him wrapping my arms around him for any crumb of safety.
“What happened? It’s all fuzzy. All I remember is getting attacked by some girls?” I groan as I’m helped to stand his arm under my arms for support as we walk to the bus.
“All I know from that is The Script has some crazy ass fans. Don’t worry the police caught up with them. They won’t be bothering you anymore. Come on let’s get you back to the bus and sorted, I think everyone will be back soon.” He soothes.
As we reach the bus no one’s around...
“They must have taken a detour to the pub I guess. Come on in.” I smile and pull back from him as I climb onto the bus unsteadily.
“Here, you can’t walk very well come and sit down. Where’s the first aid box?”
“Up there. Thank you....I’m sorry I don’t know your name?” I laugh painfully clutching my chest, he’s back to my side in an instant.
“I’m Matt, lighting guy. I just happened to be walking back to your bus to find Glen and came across you. I’m glad I did. . . I’m not sure what would have happened if I didn’t walk by.” He smiled wiping the cut above my eyebrow.
“Hi Matt. It’s nice to meet you haha! I’m glad I did meet you. Thanks for helping me, I owe you!” I laugh as he sits by me letting me rest my head on his shoulder, the pain in my chest making me feel strangely tired.
I smile up at him, but my head quickly turns to the door as it opens revealing Mark and the rest of them closely behind. He’s over to us in a second crouching down peering up at me to examine my wounds.
“Oh my god, Evie what happened? Matt? What’re you doing here mate?”
“I was on my way to the bus to find Glen and came across Evie being attacked by some crazy girls claiming to be Glen’s saviour or something nutty like that!” he chuckled, I was expecting Mark to punch him for laughing but he laughed along with him.
“Thank you! For coming to her rescue Matt. Stay and have a drink with us it’s the least that I could do.”
“Sure! I’d love to.” I smiled up to the both glad to be safe, they helped me walk to the front room to lay on the sofa as they cracked open a beer chatting absentmindedly. All the tension between me and Mark melted away, I felt at ease around Matt and Mark it was....nice.
I felt the tension readily mounting as Glen whisked into the room with Danny and Irma. He was straight to me in a second pulling me to his lap but all I felt was resentment my hands pushed him away and I got up hobbling unsteadily over sitting in between Matt and Mark, Danny and Irma sat on the floor together. I studied them, the way they were sat together him holding her on his lap. I could help but feel sad...
“Evie? What’s up?” the voice that’s bewitched me ever since I first heard it pulled my attention over to him. His face looked hurt and rightly so, he’s been distancing himself from me, it’s just my turn now.
“Nothing’s up with me. You’ve been distancing yourself from me because you’re too scared to defy my brother. I can’t keep up with your moods changing so hate me if I can’t deal with you right now.” I snap angrily hugging down into Mark’s shoulder, entirely drained from today..
“Evie, please you’ve been through enough today. As much as I hate it he is your boyfriend and stuff, you need some kind of help today?” he smiles, but I’m stubborn.
“No. I’m fine here with you two. I have all the attention I need right here.” I poke Matt and Mark in the side with my hands. It might sound bratty but I like the attention from Mark and Matt along with Danny and Irma that’s what Glen gets for making me feel like a plague around him.
“Evie, come on..”
“Mark just drop it. I’m going to sleep, like you said I’ve been through enough today.” I recycle his words and snuggle down to Matt’s shoulder.
“Thanks for today Matt. I really appreciate, what can I do to say thanks?” I murmer drowsily as I look up to him, vaguely aware of everyone chatting away happily about the American leg of the tour coming up. Well everyone accept Glen, he’s staring angrily at me and Matt. . .
“You can just use me as a pillow sleepyhead.”
I drift off with a smile on my face for the first time in a while.
Sorry it's really crap and short but I couldn't think. But it gives me a lot to play around with so I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes :D Let me know what you thought and all that. Comment and vote - Love Hannah xox
