We had been sitting on Charli’s bed talking for a few more minutes before there was a knock on the door.
“Come in!” yelled Charli who was too lazy to get up again bothered get up again, Jumpnow opened the door and stepped just inside the room. He had a sort of small half smile on his face.
Simone and Ebony gasped in mock horror.
“He smiles!” Simone said dramatically, Jumpnow rolled his eyes.
“Come on Ally, time to get dressed I’m taking you out for the day.” He said pulling me off the bed towards the door.
“Bye guys!” I laughed waving enthusiastically as Jumpnow shut the door behind us.
“So where are you taking me?” I asked as we walked to our room.
“Surprise” he smirked. I rolled my eyes at him as I pushed him back out of the room much to his disappointment causing me to laugh at him.
“I have to get dressed.” I laughed shutting the door and locking it. I went over to the bag of clothes I had packed trying to find something nice to wear seeing as Shaun refused to tell me where he was taking me. After a few minutes of searching I settled on a pair of dark blue skinny and a long floral print peasant top with a large black belt around my  waist and I would borrow one of Simone’s black leather jackets  to finish off the outfit.
 
Once I was showered and changed I went back out to find Shaun talking to the boys. I snuck up behind him gesturing to the guys not to let him know I was there.
“Ready.”  I yelled in his ear causing him to jump which just made me laugh. He grumbled something about going deaf due to so much yelling lately which I giggled at seeing why the boys taunted him by calling him Shaun the angry emo , which I thought was a bit mean but he gets them back  for it, being their tour manager really helped when you were looking to pull a revenge prank.  I quickly went to Simone’s room and grabbed one of her jackets and went and said goodbye to everyone before Shaun led me out the door and down to the street.
“So you’re really not going to tell me where we’re going?” I asked in a pathetic attempt to find out where he was taking me.
“Nope.” he said popping the P and continued walking straight ahead.
“Do you even know where we’re going?”
“Nope.” I rolled my eyes at him of course he had no idea where we were going, he probably just wanted to get out of the crowded hotel room.
“Okay then do you want to go bowling or something, somewhere warm?” I questioned giggling slightly.
“Alright that sounds like it could be fun.”
“Okay now to find a bowling alley.”  I said looking around in hope that one would magically appear in front of us.
“That’s what an iphone is for silly.” He shook his head whilst he pulled out his iPhone and typed something.
“That way.” Pointed back the way we had just come which made me laugh because anyone who saw us would definitely thought we were completely lost, not that they’d be wrong but I don’t like admitting I’m lost if I can avoid it.
We started walking back the way we came making a few turns here and there. It didn’t take long to get to the bowling alley probably only 15 minutes. Once we got there I ran inside and up to the counter with Shaun not too far behind me.
“How many games should we play?” I asked, turning around to face him.
“How about two then we can go and get lunch and find something else to do, maybe a movie or something?”
“sounds great” I beamed up at him giving him a quick kiss before turning back to the counter where I told the guy how many games we wanted to play and our names so that he could put them into the system. Once we’d paid we were given some shoes and told which lane we’d be playing on.
  We hurried over to our lane and quickly out our shoes on. I have to admit the shoes are the only thing I don’t like about bowling, I don’t get why we can’t just wear our own shoes.
Once we’d gotten our shoes on me looked at the screen to see who was going first.”
“well it looks like you’re up first, let’s see what you’ve got!” Shaun said smirking as I picked up a purple ball and stepped up to the line. To make it harder we had opted for no gutter guards. I watched as my ball rolled straight down the centre of the lane and knocked all the pins over. Now it was my turn to smirk. Jenny was  a competitive bowler and entered lots of competitions so she was very good and taught the rest of us how to play. Not that Shaun or any of the boys knew that. Shaun sat there with a stunned expression on his face.
“How did you… but… that…shit.” he said stumbling over his words causing me to laugh.
“Oh didn’t I tell you? I’m pro at bowling.” I laughed at his still stunned expression.
“Alright that was just a lucky shot!” he declared picking up one of the balls and stepping up to the line, much to his disappointment he got a gutter ball causing me to almost fall off my seat laughing at his expression.
“Shut up.” He mumbled taking his second shot.
 
It went on like this for about another 2 hours, needless to say I won both games much to Shaun’s dismay.
“Alright now that you’re finished kicking my ass at bowling let’s go find lunch I’m starving!” he begged.
“Sound’s good!”  A few minutes down the street there was a little cafe that we had passed on our way to the bowling alley that looked really nice so we decided to just go there instead walking for ages trying to find somewhere else. Since it’s a fairly nice day we decide to sit outside.  I looked at the menu trying to decide what to get, as good as all the food sounded there wasn’t much that really interested me so I just decided on a salad and Shaun decided on a hamburger. It didn’t take very long for our food to come out and it looked simply delicious.
“So after this do you want to go and see a movie?” Shaun asked between mouthfuls.
“Sure sounds good.” I said smiling at him.
 
We finished our lunch and walked the 20 minutes to the cinema.
“So what do you want to see?”
“TOY STORY 3!”  I yelled earning a few glares from other people in line causing Shaun to laugh at my sudden enthusiasm.
“I take it you like toy story then?” he asked shaking his head at me.
“FUCK YEAH! Who doesn’t like toy story?”  I asked disbelieving.
“Good Point.”
 
When it was our turn to get tickets Shaun told the girl at the register which movie before turning to me.
“Do you want any food or a drink or something?”
“Yes please, Just popcorn and a frozen coke please.” I said looking at him with puppy eyes.
“How are you still hungry?” he asked shocked. People are always shocked when I eat a lot because I’m so thin it’s hilarious to see their reaction.
“I’m always hungry.” I said shrugging my shoulders causing him to shake his head.
“You sound like Andy when you say that.” I poke my tongue out at him.
He turns back around to tell the girl what we want.
 
Once we get our order we make our way to the cinema where toy story 3 is showing and find our seats. It doesn’t take long for the movie to start. And I throw a piece of popcorn at Shaun for rolling his eyes at me for getting excited when the opening credits came on.
 
Once the movie finished we walked outside and Shaun said he had to make a phone call. About a minute or two later he came back.
“How ‘bout we head back? ‘cause we leave tomorrow so we’ll have to try and pack a bit tonight.”  He said taking my hand.
“Sound’s good. I was getting a bit tired anyway.” I said smiling as we started to head back to the hotel.
 
When we got back everyone was laying in the living area watching TV. As soon as they saw me Charli and Simmy jumped up and crash tackled me. Well at least I know I was missed.

Part 30 - Kate’s POV
 
Before we left Charli’s room to discuss the party with the guys I decided to take Charli’s advice and change out of my pyjamas.
“I’ll be out in a minute.” I said pushing the girls out the door so I could get changed, locking it after them.
I found a pair of Charli’s jeans and a jacket and put them on, luckily we were the same size.
I headed out to the lounge area to find everyone sitting around discussing Ally’s party.
 
“Hey they’re mine!” Charli yelled in mock anger. I just rolled my eyes at her.
“you’ll live.” I said taking my seat beside Shaun.
“So what’s the plan anyway?” I asked Charli who seemed to have everything planned out in her head already. 
“Well we’re going to hire out Megamania as planned and we’re going to get Ally’s family to occupy her for the day whilst we set up the party. You know streamers, balloons, decent food, drinks that sort of thing. Then Simone and Jumpnow are going to go get her and tell her we’re going out clubbing or something, so that it won’t look suspicious when they show up in party clothes and make her wear party clothes. They will take her the really long way so we have a bit of extra time and then text us 5 minutes before they get there. Then its  party time.” She explained carefully. Andy had a massive grin on his face.
“What’s with the grin Clemmensen?” I asked slightly suspicious it was a cross between Charli’s  evil grin she got when she was planning something and a little kids when it wakes up on Christmas morning to find a puppy under the Christmas tree. The combination of the two smiles was rather scary.
“So let me get this straight, I get to go to Megamania and drink whilst I’m there?” he asked making sure he heard correctly.
“Uh yeah…” Charli replied unsure of where he was going with this. Andy jumped up from where he was sitting and start dancing stupidly, causing Ebony who was leaning against him to lose her balance and fall so that she was laying on the floor with her feet still on the lounge. I just laughed and shook my head at him. Of course he would be thrilled. In a way he was just like Charli, a 5 year old with the mind and body of a 21 year old.
 
“I’m going to go call and book the party before Ally and Jumpnow get back.” Charli said jumping up out of her seat and walked over to her room.
“I hope Ally likes it!”  I said mostly to myself, staring off into space.
“Of course she will! Ally loves Megamania!” Ebony laughed at me. That moment Charli emerged from her room looking as though she was lost in her own world.
“We have a problem, Megamania shut down.” She said quietly.
“WHAT!” cried Jenny, a mixture of sadness and anger evident on her face.
“But Megamania can’t shut down! It Just… can’t.” Simone mumbled shaking her head slowly.
We had all spent so much time there as kids but I don’t see why they were getting so upset over it I mean it was only a kids party venue really.
“looks like we’ll have to go somewhere else. Any one have any ideas?” Charli sighed looking around the room trying to think.
 
“Hey I have an idea!” Simone said happily after about 10 minutes. We all looked at her expectantly gesturing for her to continue.
“OK so you remember how in year 10 we wanted to go to laser tag instead of the formal but Roary wouldn’t let us? Well how about we go to laser tag instead of Megamania?” She asked Grinning looking around at everyone. I saw a grin Identical to Simone’s forming on Charli’s face so I knew she loved the idea.
“Wait, who’s Roary?” Andy asked looking extremely confused causing Jenny, Charli and Simone to fall to the ground laughing, tears forming in their eyes. Although wether it was because of Andy’s Expression or something they had remembered to do with Roary and laser tag I have no clue.  The boys just looked at them in disbelief.
“Are they always like that when they’re together?” asked a very worried looking Shaun.  Lauren just nodded laughing slightly.
“This is nothing, you should see them when Ally and Roary are added to the mix. They drove our science teacher in year 10 insane they wouldn’t stop talking or laughing, they actually fell off their chairs a few times they were laughing so hard, and they’re not exactly quiet.”  She giggled at the memory.
“Seriously who the hell is Roary?” Andy asked again.
“Roary is the last member of our group who had to go to Sydney to see her family for a few weeks around the time we met you, which is why you guys haven’t met her yet. Her name is actually Aurora but Roary suits her better. You will probably meet her at Ally’s party if you can pry those 3 away from her.” I said chuckling. They definitely partners in crime. I had lost count of the numerous pranks they’d pulled over the years.
“Oh, okay then should be fun to meet her then.” Andy said glancing at the spot on the floor where Simone, Jenny and Charli were just starting to calm down after their laughing fit.
“What made you three lose it this time?” I asked shaking my head.
“Our year 10 formal after party at laser tag.  Jeremy, Jayden, Kieran, Jacob, Mitchell and James in suits and us in dresses and heels playing laser tag. I can’t believe we were in dresses and we still beat them!” Charli practically yelled before laughing again. I giggled a bit at the memory, those boys sucked at laser tag!
“Who are they? Ex-boyfriends?” Sonny asked, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
“Na just friends. None of us has dates to the formal so we all went together as a massive group and it was so much fun. The looks on peoples faces when we turned up in a limo to laser tag in our formal clothes were priceless.” Ebony said giggling a little for the first time in ages. It was good to see her smile again.
 
“I’m going to go and book the laser tag now so that we can get everything else sorted.” Charli decided once she had calmed down enough to talk without laughing.
“Sounds good, I’ll text Jumpnow and tell him it’s safe to bring Ally back anytime now seeing as it’s starting to get late.” Jimmy said pulling out his phone as Charli walked off to the other room.
Everyone else seemed to go off and do their own thing so I just sat there with Shaun and turned the tv on in hope to find something worth watching.

Over the last few days since our run in with Vanessa and co. Everyone had been fairly bad mood. Especially Bradie who as it turned out ran into them when he and Simone had gone to get Chinese. With everything that had been going on we hadn’t properly celebrated Ally’s birthday. I mean we had all gotten her a present and had a mini party with everyone who was on tour. But because of the tour she didn’t get a proper party. And considering it was her 18^th I was determined to throw her a party even if it was a bit late.

I walked out into the living area hoping to find Jimmy.

“Hey Jimmy…” I said walking up behind him wrapping my arms around his waist. He turned around to looking at me sceptically.

“What?” I asked innocently knowing full well why he was giving me that look.

“I know that voice and face to well, what are you planning?” he asked laughing slightly. I gave him a huge grin. Making him look slightly scared, and who could blame him most of my plans caused trouble in some way.

“Well, it was Ally’s 18^th a few weeks ago, and because we were all so busy she didn’t get a party so I was thinking a late surprise party. What do you think?” once I told him my idea he looked a lot less scared. I don’t know why, if I were him I’d be more scared, but I guess he’s never been to a party I’ve planned before.

“I think it’s a great idea!” he said grinning, if there was one thing this group loved it was a party, what he didn’t realise it wouldn’t be your average 18^th birthday party. Everyone’s always said that we act like a bunch of five year olds, so that’s exactly what we would do, mostly.

“Yay! I’m going to go talk to the girls, you fill in the guy’s then make jump take Ally out for the day so we can plan and organise everything and we will fill him in later.” I said quickly before giving Jimmy a quick kiss before pushing him towards where the guys were.

I went back into the room I was sharing with Jimmy and where the girls and I were sitting around talking.

“Back.” I said walking into the room, closing the door behind me. They all looked up from the conversation.

“So what’s happening today?” Kate asked as I went to sit back on the bed with the rest of them.

“Not really sure at the moment. Jimmy’s gone to talk to the guys to see if they have any plans or wan to do something.” I said, which was a total lie. In reality Jimmy was explaining about my idea of a surprise party and convincing Jumpnow to take Ally out for the day.

“Okay then, well I hope they hurry up, I need to know whether i need to get out of my pj’s or not.” Kate said with complete seriousness. We all looked at her and started laughing.

“Um hunny, I think you should get dressed regardless, your fine with us and Shaun but there are six other guys here.” Jenny said softly. The rest of us trying to hold back laughter.

“Yeah and your point?” Kate said slightly confused. I couldn’t help it I burst out laughing causing the others to laugh earning me a glare from Kate.

“Uh Kate, despite the temperature you’re in short shorts and an oversized t-shirt which covers those tiny shorts making it look as though you’re not wearing any. Forgive me if I’m wrong but that is not a wise thing to wear around those guys.” Lauren said jerking her thumb towards the door. Kate turned a dark shade of red.

“oops. Forgot I was wearing these ones.” She said looking down at what she was wearing. We all laughed, we were all still in our pyjamas but all had long pants on so it wasn’t as bad.

“I really don’t get how you are not cold, seriously you have issues!” I said hugging my knees to my body to make a point. Kate just rolled her eyes at me.

We talked for a few more minutes before there was a knock on the door.

“Come in!” I yelled seeing as i couldn’t be bothered getting up again, Jumpnow opened the door and stepped just inside the room. He had a sort of small half smile on his face.

Simone and Ebony gasped in mock horror.

“He smiles!” Simone said dramatically, Jumpnow rolled his eyes.

“Come on ally, time to get dressed I’m taking you out for the day.” He said pulling ally off the bed towards the door with Ally laughing the whole way.

“Bye guys!” she laughed waving enthusiastically as Jumpnow shut the door behind them.

We all laughed at Ally’s enthusiasm so early in the morning, granted it was already 11am, but seeing as we had only been up for about half an hour it was still early to us.

“Okay now that she’s gone I can talk to you all about something I have planned.” I said lowering my voice knowing that Ally was only in the other room getting dressed.

“Why couldn’t you talk about it whilst Ally was here I’m sure she would love to be part of it.” Simone said slightly confused. I gave her my best ‘you have got to be kidding look’.

“Because this is a surprise for her you idiot!” I whispered loudly.

“Oh…” she said looking down in shame I just rolled my eyes at her.

“Anyway I was thinking we throw a late surprise party for Ally when we stop over at home for a few days.” I said looking around at everyone’s faces.

“Sounds good, what where you thinking?” Jenny asked knowing that I probably wouldn’t have bought it up if I didn’t have most of it planned already. I grinned evilly.

“Megamania!” I said excitedly. They all thought for a moment before massive grins broke out on their faces.

“Sounds fun!” Ebony said excitedly. When we were in year 9 and 10 her Simone and I had discussed opening a sort of adult version of Megamania. Seeing as the only way anyone over a certain age or height could get in let alone play in the maze of ball pits, jumping castles and climbing mazes among other things was if you were taking a young child or hired the entire place out for a party which cost a fair amount.

“Ally will love it!” Simone agreed happily. She had known Ally for about 13 years which was longer than any of knew each other so we trusted her when she said Ally would love it.

“So my Idea was to hire the whole Place out for a night, so maybe from 5 to 11, then head back to someone’s house, preferably someone who DOESN”T live wit their parents so probably Jimmy, Jumpnow or my house and we can continue the party with drinks and music.” I said having thought most of it out. Everyone Beamed at me.

“Sounds awesome!” Lauren said.

“Come on lets go tell the guy’s the plan, Jumpnow should have left with Ally by now. Oh and Kate put some proper pants on before you come out.” I said getting off the bed. She just rolled her eyes at me. This was going to be fun, I just hope the boys likes the plan. 

I sat there on the bed with Simone trying to get her to calm down enough to tell me what happened. When she was finally calm enough to speak she looked up at me with tears still flowing down her face. I tried to wipe them away with my thumb but the kept coming.

“I’ll tell you what happened but I’ll have to tell you about something that happened when I was 16 for you to understand why this affected me so much.” She said trying to explain, I just nodded not knowing what else to say.

“But you have to promise me you’ll listen to the whole story, won’t judge me.” She continued looking worried about my reaction to what she was about to tell me. I nodded again.

“I promise.” I said making sure she knew I was serious.

“alright.” She said taking a deep breath.

“When I was about 16, I was having hard time at school and at home. At school I was failing math and history, which was hard enough for me as it was because school was the only thing I was every good at. But on top of that I was having problems with some of the people in my classes.” She explained keeping her head down and was fidgeting with her watch and necklace which she rarely ever took off.

“probably halfway through the year or maybe a bit after I’m not really sure I had a particularly bad day with some trouble in my drama class I was so annoyed and upset that I had spent half of lunch in tears. So when I had to go to my next class I was not in a mood to put up with anyone’s crap. So when two of the girls in my class Vanessa and Bianca asked me to give them the answers to the work I told them to do it themselves. They started abusing me about everything, not giving them the answers, my music, my dress style anything they could say to offend me. I told them to shut up and went back to my work but started crying due to some of the things they said. Charli and Ally stepped in then telling them off about the things they said but they started abusing them for standing up for me.” She said as tears started to fall down her face again.

“They started abusing all of us over Facebook and MySpace as well as at school and we couldn’t escape it. On top of that I had my cousin telling me to kill myself and to cut myself. So after about a week of the abuse I did exactly that.” She continued to my horror I never thought that she would do something like that, but who could blame her with everything that was happening. I pulled her into a tight hug as she started sobbing again.

 “It’s ok.” I said trying to calm her again, but also trying to convince myself.

“Anyway the next day Ally and Charli found out what I had done which just made me feel worse. Then Ebony found out, she was probably the only one who understood. It took years to try and forget about that. So today when we were shopping we saw Vanessa, Bianca and their other friend Kalina well really they saw us.” She said clinging to me as though I was going to leave at any moment.

“Vanessa started abusing us calling us emo sluts, so I slapped her. She kept abusing us but just before I stormed off she told me to go and cut myself, reminding me of what I had tried so hard to forget. So I practically ran back here with the girls following and that’s when you came.” She explained still sobbing.

“You have every right to be upset, I now know why half of the girls looked as if they wanted to murder someone and the other three refusing to let you out of their sights.” I said kissing the top of her head.

“Those girls are lucky that we split up for the day or they probably would ha copped worse than a slap.” I said furiously. I couldn’t help but wonder how much Jimmy and Jumpnow knew after talking to Ally and Charli.

After sitting there for a while we went back out to join the others. As soon as we stepped out of the door Ally came over and gave Simone a hug checking she was alright while Charli pulled me to the side.

“How much did she tell you?” she asked, looking half worried and half angry.

“Everything from when she was 16 to what happened today.” I said confused as to why she needed to know.

“Shit, ok don’t tell anyone about what happened when she was 16 only Ally and I know the full story there and please look after her.” She said half threatening half pleading.

That answered my other question as to how much Jimmy and Jumpnow know they would only know of today’s events.

“I promise I will.” I said telling the truth. I was still trying to wrap my head around the whole situation, and who wouldn’t with what I had just found out i was a bit over whelmed.  I looked at the clock I was about 6:30 and with the mood everyone was in I doubted anyone felt like cooking.

“I’m gonna go for a food run, what do you guys want?” I asked feeling the need to get out of the crowded hotel room.

“Chinese!”  Andy yelled. I got nods of agreement from the others, my guess was no one felt like arguing.

Once I got everyone’s orders I pulled Simone out the door, I was desperate to get out of the overcrowded hotel room and I’m sure she was too. If I was her I would definitely be getting sick of the worried looks everyone was giving her.

“Come on it’ll be nice to have some space.” I said taking her hand leading her towards one of the vans.

“Thanks I don’t really like being the centre of attention.” She said smiling for the first time since she’d gotten back the hotel. Luckily she had fixed her make up before we left the hotel I don’t think she would have enjoy going out with mascara and eyeliner half way down her face.

Once we got out of the van I wrapped my arm around her waist not letting her go. It was only a 2 minute walk from the van to the Chinese take-away but it was nice not to have 12 other people with us. It was almost like the day we had gone for lunch, only in a different city and much darker. We walked into the small shop and Simone froze, tightening her arm around my waist. I looked around to see what made her freeze when I saw 3 girls about the same age as Simone. I looked down at Simone to see a combination of fear and anger plastered on her face staring straight at the three girls I  had seen seconds earlier. I assumed these must be Vanessa, Bianca and Kalina, two of them had bleach blond hair one tall the other about average height. The shortest of the girls had black hair and was really quite tiny. They turned around to see us standing just inside the door way.

“Oh look who it is again girls, the little emo slut, you will pay for earlier bitch!” spat the girl I assumed was Vanessa at Simone completely ignoring my existence.

“DO NOT, TALK TO MY GIRLFRIEND THAT WAY.” I said menacingly causing her to acknowledge me for the first time.

“Oh so YOUR her boyfriend.” She said as though she didn’t believe it.

“Hey I know you, you’re that drummer guy from short stack, I’ve seen you on TV.” Said the short dark haired girl a little confused.

“Yeah that’s me” I said icily.

“Wait, if you’re so famous what are you doing with HER?” Vanessa hissed I was getting sick of these girls quickly.

“That’s none of your business, now if you don’t mind we have 12 hungry people to order for.” I said walking up to the counter and placing our order still holding Simone tight.

Once we were given our large amount of food we walked back to the van quite quickly.

“Well their three people I hope to never see again.” I said as I started the car and headed for the hotel.

We walked down the Melbourne street away from the boys who were still standing out the front of the macca’s we were just at. I knew from previous experience that there was a good Mall just down the street.

“Hey, you know what we should buy…” started Charli we all stopped walking and looked at her wearily.

“What?”  Ebony asked cautiously. 

“Nerf guns!” Charli said a massive grin on her face I burst out laughing.

“Alright, and we can shoot the boys with them when they walk into the room.” I said happily thinking this would be almost as fun as the water guns but not quite due to the lack of water.

We walked through the entrance of the mall and headed straight to Jay Jays, we could all do with some new clothes. Practically our entire wardrobes consisted of  jay jays clothing with a few exceptions. So naturally when we need or even just want new clothes that’s the first place we go.

“Ooh look over here guys!” called Kate who was pointing to a large selection of coloured skinny jeans. Kate loved wearing different coloured skinny’s and had most colours.

We all went through them trying to find some good colours in our sizes.

“OMG I just found a Cadbury purple pair in my size!”Kate said excitedly her entire face lighting up.  The rest of us continued to look for jeans in our size whilst she moved onto tops and hoodie’s, it didn’t take long for us to join her. There was so much to choose from!  In the end we all ended up with a few outfits each and seeing as most of  us were around the same size we could share which made it a bit easier. We went and payed for all our clothes before leaving the store.

We walked around for a while going into any shops that looked like they had some good clothes but we didn’t end up buying any of them because they either looked horrible on or were too expensive. After giving up on clothes we decided to head to target to all get nerf guns so we could attack the boys when they got back.

“Wow how many different types are there?” Ally asked in astonishment at the many nerf guns they had to offer.

“I don’t know but let’s get the ones that hold the most amo.” She said simply which made sense seeing as we would be starting a war with them.

Once we all had all bought our nerf guns and an extra packet of foam bullet things we decided to head back to the hotel so we would be sure to beat the boys back. We were probably halfway to the car park when we heard them.

“Oh look who it is, Simone and her little group of emo rejects.” She taunted. I spun on my heel turning only to come face to face with none other than Vanessa, Bianca and Kalina, three girls who i used to go to school with.

“What did you just call them?” I said darkly taking a deep breath trying to control the anger building up inside.

“Emo rejects, and i wasn’t just talking to them your one too.” She sneered at me. The others were standing behind me read to back me up.

“What are you doing here Vanessa?” I asked seeing as she lived in Newcastle

“I’m here for the shopping of course, but I could ask you the same question.” Shae said taking a look at the bags we all held spotting the nerf guns.

“What’s it matter to you why we’re here or not, and any way it’s none of your business.” Ally stepped in trying to back me up.

“Shut the fuck up bitch I wasn’t talking to you” she spat at Ally which sent me over the edge.

“Don’t you DARE talk to my friends that way!” I warned sending her a murderous glare.

“And if you must know we are on tour with our boyfriends and their friends.” I said resisting the urge to slap her. She just laughed.

“Oh really, like anyone would want to date you emo sluts!” She laughed, at that i slapped her full on in the face.

“ONE WE ARE NOT EMO, TWO WATCH WHO YOU ARE CALLING SLUT YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVEN’T LOOKED IN THE MIRROR!” I shouted at here whilst the others stood there in disbelief.

“Alright if you have boyfriends who are they then, if their ‘on tour’ I must have at least heard of them.” She laughed once she  recovered from the shock of being slapped.

“Oh you’ve heard of them alright. I’m with Bradie Webb, Eb’s with Andy Clemmensen and Kate Shaun Diviney. In case you don’t recognise the names they are Short Stack.” I stated very matter of factly.

“You’re so lying, there is no way they would date you emo sluts” she laughed. I just rolled my eyes she obviously hadn’t learnt her lesson. I glanced behind me to see Charli and Jenny shaking two coke bottles.

“Well they are and I don’t care if you don’t believe me because I know it’s true all my friends know it’s true and the boys and their friends definitely know it’s true, and I have nothing to gain by you believing so why don’t you just fuck off and leave is alone.” I said trying not to break down again.

“Oh why don’t you just go cut yourself you little bitch!” yelled at me, Kalina and Bianca laughing behind her. That was it I couldn’t take any more of her crap I slapped her again before turning and storming out. I only got about 5 metres away before I heard the shrieks of Vanessa, Bianca and Kalina. I turned  to see jenny and Charli spraying the coke they were shaking on them before running after me.

“Come on lets go back to the hotel.” Ally said leading me out of the mall our hotel was only a 2 minute walk luckily.

Once we got back to the hotel I went straight to the lounge and started crying. Not only had Vanessa insulted my friends and I but bought up the one thing I had tried desperately to forget for years. Ally took my bags to my room before coming back and tried calming me down. Charli sat on my other side pulling me into a hug with Ebony sitting on the arm rest talking quietly to Ally. They were the only three who knew about my past that I tried so desperately to forget. Jenny, Lauren and Kate were sitting on the ground angrier than i have ever seen them.

“What the hell was her problem!” Jenny yelled slamming her fist into a pillow.

About a minute late the door opened and the guys stood frozen in the doorway taking in the scene before them. In an instant Bradie had taken Charli’s face and Jumpnow and Jimmy had taken Ally and Charli somewhere, most likely to find out what happened.

“Hey, what’s wrong, what’s happened?” Bradie asked pulling me onto his lap. I just started crying into his chest.

“shh it’s ok, just calm down and tell me what happened.” He said worry creeping into his voice. I assume he had seen the look on the girls faces.  I heard Andy leave the room muttering something about hiding the knives. This just made me cry harder. Even though he was most likely talking about the murderous looks on the girls faces.

I felt Bradie lift me up and carry me to our room. It took a little while for me to calm down enough to tell him what happened.

“I’ll tell you what happened but I’ll have to tell you about something that happened when I was 16 for you to understand why this affected me so much.” I said looking at him tears still running down my face. He nodded and tried to wipe away some of the tears that kept falling.

“But you have to promise me you’ll listen to the whole story, won’t judge me.” I said trying to make him realise how serious I was. He nodded again.

“I promise.”
