A Rock to My Star
Feel Safe Again.
Alex
I felt someone place their hand on my back as I had my head in the pillow, still crying. I looked up, pretty much expecting to see Jack there, but no. The face I was met with was none other than Krys’. I quickly wiped my eyes with my sleeves and sat up. “Did you need something, Krys?”
“I heard you back here. I wanted to make sure you were okay.” Her voice was soft and calming. I looked in her eyes and could see they were a bit blood shot as well.
“Were you crying?” I asked quietly.
“A little bit. I just got off the phone with Hailey, I told her everything that went on with me and Cory. She said that I need to stay away as long as possible, and she is always around to help if I need her.” She spoke as she took a seat next to me on the couch. “Why are you crying?” She continued the quiet tone we have been using.
“Uh, my ex Lisa. She um, changed her number. Now I have no way to contact her. S-she moved out of state, most likely with that guy she cheated on me with. And uh, I miss her is all.” I knew I could trust Krys with my feelings, she trusted me with her’s, so I had to trust her.
“I’m so sorry, Alex.” She said as she put her arms around me. It took me a minute, but I finally returned her hug. It’s been awhile since I got a real hug. Not that the guys have not given me hugs over the past two months. This one just felt different, it felt comforting. Like a hug only a Mother or a lover could give. It was nice, I really needed a hug right now, and I could tell that she did as well. She didn’t deserve to be so sad, no one did. Not even I deserved to be so sad, but I would get over it sooner or later. But it might just be later, because I still care and love Lisa so much that it’s so hard to be without her.
We pulled away from the hug and I couldn’t help but look in her eyes. I have looked into them more than once tonight, but this time was different. I saw past the green orbs and saw how she was really feeling. I could see all the pain that hid behind the shield she put up to protect herself. I also looked around her eye and saw that her makeup was coming off, and that she had a black eye. It looked to be pretty new, like it even happened today. I also seen the bags under her eyes, there was no doubt she was tired. “Come on, let’s get you to bed. We have to be up by 9am tomorrow.” I said softly. She nodded her head a little bit and we both stood up.
We walked out of the back lounge and down the little hallway, passing by the bathroom and ending in the bunk area. By now, I have cried all the tears I had left in me, and was now even more tired than I was before I called Lisa’s number, well, old number. “I’ll see you in the morning, Alex.” Krys spoke quietly as she bent down and climbed into her bunk.
“Night Krys, I’m right above you if you need anything.” I said with a small smile, jumping up a bit and getting into my bunk, since it was one of the top ones. I got comfortable and closed the curtain, just laid down and started thinking a bit. This tour was going to be hell, it’s the first one since Lisa and I’s break up, and everyone knew for sure that it was going to affect me hard. Even the fans knew it, but I was glad they were being so supportive of me right now. A few of them were Tweeting things to Lisa, which I don’t agree with them. But I can’t stop them, I’m just glad they are not wishing death threats on her. I got drowned in my own thoughts, that I soon fell asleep.
I was awoken by the soft sounds of whimpers and someone lightly shaking my shoulder. I groaned a bit and reached for my phone to check the time. I turned it on and winced back at the bright light, but my eyes soon adjusted to the brightness and saw that it was 5:57am. I put my phone back down and rolled over onto my side, seeing Krys standing there with tears in her eyes. “Krys? What’s wrong?” I asked softly, knowing everyone else in the bus was most likely sleeping. She brought up her phone and handed it to me. I looked at the screen and saw a text from her boyfriend.
From: Cory
If you are not home in the next ten minutes, I swear I will kill you the moment I see you bitch.
How could someone be so heartless? How could someone claim to love someone but then treat them like a piece of trash. I turned off her phone and turned around, placing it next to mine on my little shelf and moved back to where I was so I could see Krys. I moved back on my bunk a bit to make some more room. “Come on.” I patted my bed a little bit to tell her to get in. She was hesitant at first, but soon climbed in. I put my arm under her and brought her close to cuddle into my side. It was nothing more than a friend trying to help another friend feel safe again. “He’s not going to hurt you again Krys. I promise you that. You are more than welcome to stay with us as long as you need.”
She still had tears trailing from her eyes down her cheeks as she brought herself even closer into my side. It felt a bit strange having someone so close to me at night, but I have missed the feeling. I needed to be strong for Krys, she has went thru so much more than I have, and I wanted to make her feel better. I wasn’t going to let Cory ever touch her again, even if it means taking her away from this town here in Florida. She was finally going to be able to feel safe again when she is with us, and she will be safe.

Notes
Well hello there.
Another Alex pov c:
Krys has a really busy day, and I took over another chapter for her. ^~^
There might be two Alex pov's in a row kinda often, because Krys just started school this week and is really busy with it.
Also.
I would like to say, that I hope everyone who died today, 14 years ago, rests in peace.
For those of you who don't live in USA, today is a pretty horrid day for us.
We had something called 9/11 happen on 9-11-01(September 11th, 2001).
You can look up videos on Youtube if you would like to see, but that's all I can really say.
~Jagk.
