Life On Tour

Eight

"I'm ignoring the drugs if you'll agree to help me, then imma get mad at you because where the fuck is my share!" I laughed as both boys let out the breaths they had been holding.

"Okay so Holly and I are setting up water balloons that will drop down on Demi during Get Back. Then, because she has a costume change for Warrior, we will all be armed with buckets of water balloons to saturate her with when she finishes the last song" I explained.

"Hell yes!!" They both yelled, laughing as Alex blew smoke rings.

"Oh fuck! Guys it's almost 5!" I yelled as I tripped over my feet getting up.

"Shit! We gotta be out there at 6, dude get up!" Web yelled as he yanked Alex off the floor.

I raced out the doors and towards the car park as the boys ran off towards the arena.

"Cal!" I heard from across the car park.

I spun fast and was met with a face full of blonde hair.

"God I missed you" I screamed as she spun me around in a circle.

"It's been too long Cal" she cried as she put me down.

"So how was New Zealand? And how is Demi freaking Lovato?" She giggled, jumping up and down with exicetment.

"Well you better keep your cool, because you are coming with me back stage to hang out. You'll also get to watch the concert with me from the side stage. Demi's really excited to meet you!" I laughed.

She pulled her beanie from her head and that's when I finally saw her face.

"Rory..." I muttered as she shoved her beanie into her bag.

"What?" She question before she gave a small gasp and raised her hand to her cheek.

"It's nothing..." she stuttered as she tried to pull her hair forward to cover it.

"Who fucking touched you Rory? That's not nothing! It's a fucking huge ass bruise on your face!" I nearly screamed, until I noticed her flinch.

I had done my best to protect her, and for the most part it worked. He had barely ever touched her and if he tried I made sure to get in the way.

Then I left. She was 15, and I knew that wouldn't protect her.

"I should never have left....it was him right..?" God Rory why did you even go back? You said you were living with Dean!" I cried, pulling you into a bone crushing hug.

I let her go, sighing when she wouldn't look me in the eyes anymore.

"Come on" I growled, grabbing you by the arm and dragging you inside.

I wound you down corridors and ignored when Holly yelled out a hello, stopping when I reached Demi's room.

"She shouldn't be in here, so it should be fine" I muttered to myself.

"What are we doing Cal? I thought we were gonna meet everyone?" You whispered as I dragged you into Demi's dressing room.
