Bulletproof Love

Emily’s POV:

“Emily?” Alex asked me. I couldn’t move what the hell do I say or do. He is the last person I expected to see. I somehow managed to nod.

“God, it’s been so long, you look so different! Guys, you remember Emily right?” was Alex really just ignoring the fact that he ripped my heart out and ran it over when he left me?

“Um, I’ll be right back” I excused myself and ran towards the bathroom. I pulled out my phone and dialed Vic’s number.

“Hello?” I heard Vic’s voice.

“Vic?” I asked my voice was shaky.

“Emily? Are you okay? How was your flight? Are you crying?” he just kept asking questions but I could only say one thing.

“Vic, I am touring with All Time Low” and then I hung up. Vic called back three times, but I didn’t answer. How did this happen? I can’t do this can I? I wiped my eyes and walked out of the bathroom, not towards the boys though. I headed outside and sat down on the curb. I rested my hand in my hands, I want to do this tour, but I can’t stand being with Alex.

“Ugh” I sighed out loud.

“Em, don’t beat yourself up over this, Alex grew up and we need you on tour” I turned around and found the tall guy standing behind me.

“Jack, right?” I asked still not sure that was him.

“In the flesh” he laughed as he sat down next to me. “What’s up kid?” he asked.

“It’s just I never thought I would see him again. I thought after he left he was just gone” I said.

“Well we never thought we would see you again, and now you’re here. You look so different! What happened to your blonde hair and glasses?” Jack asked.

“Well after you guys left and I never saw you again I delt with some stuff. Once I got over it I needed a change, I ditched the glasses and dyed my hair. I dropped the old Emily and became someone new. I needed to” I explained. Jack nodded and then turned his focus back to the road in front of us.

“You’re still going to tour with us right? You can’t leave, we need you. Everything will be okay, I promise” I smiled at him and nodded. Even if I don’t want to deal with Alex I want to do this.

“Well then come on!” he said standing up and holding his hand out for me. “We have some rehearsing to do!” I took his hand and he pulled me up. I almost fell over but jack caught me and pulled me into a hug.

“You know, for how different you look your smile is the same” he commented.

“Thank you Jack” I said as I headed back into the building.
