Tobin POV

I saw her face backstage. She was shell shocked. I don't blame her. I motioned for her to come out, and slowly but surely, she did. The crowd cheered as she walked out, along with some boos from girls wearing "I love Tobin" tees. She finally reached me at the mic and I took her hand.
"Now, as I said, I've met a lot of girls, but none like you." I turned to face Alex.
"And it made me realize that, if I have to choice to have all these other girls, or you, then I'd pick you, and I'd do it a million times. Is pick you." She was smiling like a kid on Christmas.
"And I wanted to show you how much, I love my Jersey girl." The audience cheered. I called for a stool to be brought out so Alex could sit and the band started to play.

I got no time for the corner boys
Down in the street making all that noise
Or the girls out on the avenue
'Cause tonight I want to be with you

Tonight I'm gonna take that ride
Across the river to the Jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
And I'll take her on all the rides

'Cause down the shore everything's all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
You know all my dreams come true
When I'm walking down the street with you

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl

You know she thrills me with all her charms
When I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms
My little angel gives me everything
I know that some day she'll wear my ring

So don't bother me man I ain't got no time
I'm on my way to see that girl of mine

'Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world
When you're in love with a Jersey girl

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl

I see you on the street and you look so tired
I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired
When I come by to take you out to eat
you're lyin' all dressed up on the bed baby fast asleep

Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on
We're gonna take that little brat of yours and drop her off at your mom?s
I know a place where the dancing?s free
Now baby won't you come with me

'Cause down the shore everything's all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
Nothing matters in this whole wide world
When you're in love with a Jersey girl

The audience cheered as loud as they could. Louder than I ever thought possible.
"Alex Morgan, I'm so madly in love with you, that if I didn't have you I don't know if I'd be able to survive." I saw tears start to well up.
"You've given me everything, you've stayed, when you probably shouldn't have, but everyday, I'm so glad you did. Which is why," I got down on one knee and Alex covered her mouth with her hands and the audience went ballistic.
"Now this isn't a marriage proposal, because we're still young, but it's a promise. A promise that, one day, you'll give me the honor of being allowed to get down on one knee and propose for real." She was still smiling, good sign. The audience was louder than I'd ever heard them. I didn't think there was anything louder on earth.
"So Alex, darling, will you-" and that's when I heard something louder. I didn't know what it was at first, but it was loud enough to make me stop in the middle of probably one of the most important sentences of my life. I looked up and heard screams. But they weren't happy screams, not screams for us or the music. These were screams of terror, pain, horror. I stood up and looked out. I saw a few people crying and looked at my friends. They were running off the stage. I didn't know what was happening to I grabbed Alex's hand and ran too. I followed where my friends had gone.
"What happened?" I yelled. A stage hand ran by me.
"Someone pulled a gun." He said.
"What?"
"Tobin." Alex grabbed me. Three huge men in all black came up to me.
"Ms. Heath, we need to get you in a car."
"Alright, c-" before I could say anything else they took me by the hand and we're pulling me away. Away from Alex. Our hands had separated and she called out.
"Tobin!" I tried to turn to grab her but they pulled me away. One of the guards walked up to her and tried to usher her out.
"Please ma'm, no fans right now." He said in a deep voice.
"Fans? That's my girlfriend!" She said trying to walk past him. I turned around.
"Hey! Hey! Let her go!" He started pushing her away.
"Ms. Heath, not now."
"Are you fucking kidding me? Let go of me you whale! That's my girlfriend!" I tried to escape his grasp, but he was huge and he threw me over his shoulder.
"Put me down! Alex!" I yelled. I felt like no one could hear me. What was going on? He put me in a car with Ash, JJ, and Kelley. They closed the door and I turned to them.
"What the fuck just happened?" I yelled.
"We don't know, one minute we were watching you two, then we heard the noise, and the crew was yelling for us to come back stage, so we ran." JJ said.
"Yeah well they took Alex away, they thought she was a fan, fucking idiots!" I slammed my fists against the window.
"Wait really? Oh shit, someone's getting fired." Kelley pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
"Yeah, hey Dan it's me, some idiot guard took Alex from Tobin, you're the one competent person we have back there, find her, and bring her to Tobin's place please?" She asked. They said a few more words and then she was silent for a few minutes. Then she said ok and hung up.
"Well? What the fuck did he say?" I yelled. She put a hand on my knee.
"Calm down, Dan's got her, he's gunna bring her by as soon as he can." I sat back and sighed.
"This is so fucked up. Playing back home is ruined, my proposal is ruined, I'm ready to bash someone's face in." I said.
