Cant Wait Another Day || M.C.

Part 12

"What's wrong Sheena? Did you not get enough time on stage?" he teases and I glare at him. "You want to come out here and sing with us?" I violently shake my head no, declining, but the rest of the guys are shouting for me to come out now.

"Everybody! Let's start chanting! Sheena! Sheena! Sheena!" Michael starts and I roll my eyes. The next thing I know, Calum comes over and throws me over his shoulder, bringing me on stage and setting me down in the middle next to Luke.

"That wasn't that hard now, was it?" Michael says, laughing and teasing. I give him the finger, causing the guys to laugh some more. I look over at Luke and grab his microphone.

"Now that I've been physically dragged out here. What are we doing? Why am I here?" I ask, trying to play off my frustration with them. It's already been a long night.

"We could serenade her?" Ashton says from behind his drum kit and the other guys laugh.

"I don't think I'd take my chances with what Johnny would do to us." Luke says and I double over laughing. Johnny may be acting like a jerk, but the idea of how he'd react was absolutely hilarious.

"Michael, give her your guitar. We'll have her play for the next song." Luke tells Michael and Michael scoffs.

"You give her your guitar, lead singer." Michael teases and I roll my eyes, stealing Luke's microphone again.

"Someone give me a damn instrument!" I yell and Luke takes his guitar off from around his neck and hands it to me. "Thank you." I smile and hand him the microphone before taking my place next to Michael.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is disconnected. Help us out." Calum shouts into the microphone and Michael and I start playing. Michael plays the melody and I do my best to harmonize his guitar parts. It's different, so I look up to Michael to see if what I'm doing is ok. He has the biggest smile on his face so I continue. We completely rock out with the biggest smiles on our faces, running up and down the walkway in the middle of the crowd. I didn't have a microphone so I was allowed to just go crazy and sing it out like I was a 16 year old in the crowd. As long as I was hitting the guitar notes right, the guys didn't seem to care.

"Michael and Sheena!" Calum screams and Michael plays a quick guitar solo. I play off of his solo and Luke just starts laughing as the entire crowd picks up his part.

"That was the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen." Luke says to the crowd.

"Scream it!" I tell the crowd and we all just stop, listening to them 'ooo' back to us. By the end of it, the guys and I were actually applauding the crowd after having such a cool on-stage moment.

"Let's hear it one more time for Sheena Smith and Get Away Crib!" Michael yells into the microphone and the crowd roars. I hug Michael, Luke, and Calum, waving to Ash and I walk toward the edge of the stage. I almost stop in my tracks as I make eye contact with Johnny who's waiting for me. It doesn't take a genius to see that he's very intoxicated and very angry. For about 10 seconds I feel an emotion I've never felt as a direct consequence of Johnny's actions... Fear... I quickly brush it off, reminding myself the Johnny would never hurt me. As I reach him, I put the smile back on my face, hoping to quickly diffuse whatever petty, jealous anger I'm sure he's feeling at the moment. I open my mouth to begin to talk and he just growls, grabbing my wrist extremely tight and pulling me deeper off stage. I hear Calum let out a 'Woah' that I'm pretty sure was not part of the song and very much directed at me. I turned my head around and wave to him that I was fine with my free hand. Johnny just pulled me faster to darkly lit corner that was off stage and didn't have many people around.

"What the hell was that!?" He yells, grabbing my wrists tighter. The grip was starting to hurt now as he was shaking me. I could tell that he was really drunk. He was drunker than I've ever seen him before. "Answer me Sheena!"

"YOU'RE HURTING ME!" I scream back to him and he instantly drops my wrists. I study his face with what I am sure is fear in my eyes. I watch him sober up and return back to my Johnny in a matter of seconds.

"Oh my god." He breathes out and walks away quickly, leaving me there against the wall. My heart was pounding as I sank to the floor and tried my best to bite back tears.

"Thank you so much New York City! We are 5 Seconds of Summer! See you soon!" I hear Ashton say and I hear a pair of feet getting closer to me at a rapid pace.

"Sheena?" I hear Calum call out. I try to stay quiet, but my sniffles gave it away. He found me sitting on the floor, still in complete shock from Johnny's behavior earlier. "Sheena? Sheena are you ok!? What happened?" Calum asks and I just stare at him, not able to speak. That's when I hear the rest of the boys starting to get closer.

"Don't let them see me like this. Go away." I whisper to Calum. I knew the rest of the boys didn't see Johnny there on the side of the stage waiting for me. They had no idea what happened. As if Calum completely understood. He stood up and walked in the direction the boys were coming from. He was being my distraction as I quickly cleaned myself up. I stopped myself from crying, wiped the messy mascara from under my eyes, and pulled myself together. I stood up once I knew I had my composure, and walked in the general direction of the 5sos guys.

"You guys completely killed it!" I said in a happy tune, completely hiding the fact that whatever just happened 5 minutes ago actually happened. I noticed Calum look at me in shock; like he was surprised I was able to pull it together. I quickly and discretely glared at him to get him to wipe the surprise off his face and he understood instantly. I didn't want the guys asking questions.

"Sheena! You are literally better than Michael at guitar." Luke says and Michael hits him.

"Shut up, Luke." Michael says, "But actually he's right. What the hell? Did you just make that up out there?"

"Uhh yeah, I've been playing since I was 7... so 16 years. Ask me to play Clapton sometime. If you close your eyes, you'll swear it's actually him in the room." I joke and the rest of the guys laugh.

"So where's Johnny and the guys?" Ashton asks and my heart drops, but I don't let them notice.

"I don't know.... probably in the dressing room drinking. I should go find them. See ya later guys!" I say, walking away rather quickly and abruptly. I reach our dressing room and take a deep breath before opening the door. As I finally open it, I see Lou passed out on the floor with no pants on. Ian is sitting on the couch, strumming along on an acoustic guitar. He doesn't even look up when I enter the room. Johnny is nowhere to be seen. I didn't think my heart could sink any more than it already had today.

"Ian, where the fuck is Johnny?" I ask, impatient.

"I don't know, he left a long time ago." Ian answers and my eyes go wide.

"How long is a long time ago?" I ask, growing more impatient by the second.

"Like over an hour? He said he was going to find you about 10 minutes after you left the dressing room to go watch the 5sos set and he never came back." Ian answers and I sink against the wall, breathing heavy. Ian gets up and looks at me funny.

"Sheena... What's wrong?" Ian asks and I get up quickly off the floor.

"Nothing... N-nothing. It's just... he was really drunk. He shouldn't be alone. I'm gonna go check and make sure he's on the bus." I say, trying to remain calm but every fiber of my being is telling me Johnny's gone off and done something stupid.
