Wait a while

~ SEVENTEEN ~

Walking back to the room to spend time with the girls I hear Reese crying. She was trying to say something so I held back from going into the room "I have to do it" she manages to say​

"do what" Both of the girls said at the same time. I opened the door and stood in the doorway not wanting to overwhelm her.​

"break up with Billie" The room went silent. Everyone looked up at me. I just stood there trying not to break down. Am I not good enough. I thought she loved me. She gave me a ring and everything confessed her love on a boat in her country and now she wants to break up. I slowly walked in the room and I could feel the tears becoming harder and harder to hide.​

"Zoe, Drew please can you leave I want to talk to Reese in private" Both of them leave and I sat next to her on the bed. Shes still crying like she doesn't want to do this. I am beyond confused right now. I open my arms offering her a hug which she accepts. After a while she calmed down. We ended up lying on the bed and her head on my heart trying to stabilise her breathing.​

"I have to I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you" She says clinging onto my tighter as she starts crying again.​

"hey, hey, hey calm down. Its going to be alright. Focus on your breathing okay" she nods and starts taking deep breaths. "Why do you have to I'm not understanding"​

"My dad" she took a deep breath in "He's blackmailing me into breaking up with you b-because he's not happy that I'm gay and my mother is accepting it"​

I hold onto her tighter. I've always known that she has had problems with her dad but I didn't think it was that bad. "It will be okay love. You don't need to break up with me I can get people to sort him out"​

"It wont work. I know that would be the ideal situation but you don't know my dad. Well his bad side anyway. When he doesn't get something he wants then he does whatever he can to get it. Including his favourite blackmailing, using something they love the most or means a lot to them"​

"what would he even use to blackmail you to dump me. I mean your the most important thing to me"​

"your career. Being a singer. He threatened to release this video of you confessing your love for me and he has people in the industry that can just your whole career just miserable. Starting up rumours, controversies and more. I'm not worth it. I still see you w-whenever you go out. Ill still be your security guard but until I can think of something or unless he dies. I have to break up with you. I'm so sorry. I don't want hurt you" she gets up and walks out not hesitating about turning back.​

"Reese please don't go" my voice fades throughout the sentence as the tears start.  Once I knew she had gone I had started loud sobbing forgetting that everyone's home. Finn runs and instantly brings me into a hug asking me what's wrong.​

"She's gone Finn"​

- Two nights later​ -

"Hey guys" I set my phone up leaning it against a water bottle as everyone starts coming onto the live.​

"I got about 2 hours for the show tonight so I thought I would come on for a little bit" I start reading the comments laughing at a couple but one caught my eye​

Damien_gray - where's you girlfriend tonight huh​

Immediately I pressed on the profile and blocked him. If I didn't I know I would retaliate but that's what he wants. Outrage. I just carry on the live as normal. A couple of people asked where Reese was so I told that she is busy making sure the arena is safe for everyone. They grew to love Reese pretty much straight away.​

Someone knocked on the door and told me that it was time to get ready as the starter is half way through their set. So I said goodbye to everyone and started preparing. We changed the set a little bit tonight by my request and I'm nervous. I wrote a song the night Reese broke up with me and asked finn to help me record and play the tune I have in my head and tonight is the night that I will be playing it.​
