| Chap 5 ((At the show)) Lindsay was standing backstage watching as Good Charlotte played in front of the sold-out crowd in New York City. Half way through the show she noticed a girl was standing close to the stage starring at Joel. At first Lindsay thought it was just another fan until Joel looked over and smiled brightly as the girl blew him a kiss. Looking the girl over it clicked in Lindsay's head. The girl was wearing a Goldfinger t-shirt with a pair of baggy blue jeans. Her hair was black with purple highlights. Adjusting Benji's Made hat on her head Lindsay moved closer to the girl. "Hey." Turning the girl seemed shocked that someone was standing by her. "Oh. Hi." Lindsay laughed a little. "Those boys. They can put a spell on ya with one look." She watched as the girl turned back to the stage. "So I am guessing by the look Joel gave you your Brittany." "Yeah. How did... Wait a second. Lindsay right?" "The one and only." Lindsay smiled as she put her hands up in a "ta da" move. Brittany smiled. "I have heard a lot about you. You are like the only thing Benji talks about...well you and his music." "Yeah. I am the same way about him. Funny don't you think?" "What do you mean?" "They are twins but they are so very different." "Yeah. In some ways they are so alike and in others they are very different." Lindsay nodded. She could tell just by talking with Brittany for a few minutes why Joel was with her. �So tell me a little about yourself.� �What�s to tell? I am 18, moved out of my house when I was sixteen, met Joel a year ago, and here I am now.� Brittany turned her attention back to the concert. �Sounds like you don�t like talking about the past much. I know how that feels.� Deciding to drop it Lindsay turned back to the concert as well. The two girls stood there in silence listening to the band when Lindsay�s cell phone started going off. As she picked it up she checked the caller id. Brittany looked over to see her pale as a ghost before Lindsay turned and ran off. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Benji looked over at the side of the stage to see Lindsay was no longer there and Brittany looked dumbfounded. His heart started to best faster as Brittany motioned her cell phone had gone off. There were only two songs left in the show. �The Anthem� was first then they would go into �I Just Wanna Live� even knowing he could get to her in a few minutes he was still scared about why she had run off. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ �Hello?� Lindsay choked into the phone. �How have you been?� The voice sent a chill down her spine and she wished she had the strength to hang up the phone. �Don�t try to make small talk with me. How did you get my new number and what do you want?� �I saw your dad today. He is going to jail� oh but you know that already right?� The voice on the other end laughed. �Benji has gotten pretty good� still a little punk.� �Where are you?� �In the front row kiddo. You should have figured out by now. Come on Lindsay you dad hired me to �look after you� when you moved into MY place.� �Look, that was years ago and my dad as you put it fired you when you found out what he was doing to me. That is why I moved again.� The voice laughed again. �Yup he fired me. He fired a man who can find anyone in the world for a price. A hit man who can kill with no remorse. Your dad was stupid little girl. He never paid up.� Lindsay swallowed hard. �What are you going to do?� �Remember that night after he had beaten you because he caught you talking to Benji?� �Yes.� �That night I told you I could turn your world upside down, but I wasn�t going to. Remember I told you I would help you anyway I could?� �I remember.� �Once the show is over take Benji�s hand, since I know you don�t trust me, and met me in the parking lot. It is time for me to do what I said.� With that the man on the other end hung up. �Jason wait� Damnit!� After hanging up the phone Lindsay went back to the stage. The guys were finishing up the last part of �I Just Wanna Live.� Benji turned to see her back and smiled at her. He could tell by her eyes something had happened. When the song finished he went over and took her hand. �You ok?� She shook her head. �There are still some things you don�t know. I have to go take care of something but I don�t want to go alone. Will you come with me please?� Benji nodded his head and she started to walk to the parking lot. �When my dad made me move he hired someone to watch me as well. The guy he hired was someone who could and still can find anyone anywhere. He found me again. Said my dad fired him but never paid up his debt. He knows something that he thinks can turn my world upside down.� �Whatever he has to say we can handle baby. He can�t say anything that will tear us apart.� �I hope you�re right.� She whispered as she spotted a tall man with brown hair leaning against a car that looked like it was expensive. �Jason?� The man looked over and smiled wickedly at Lindsay. �Hey kid. I see you brought Benji with you.� Lindsay nodded. �So you two hop on in. I have something to show you Kiddo.� �We are not getting in your car.� Benji said as he stepped in front of Lindsay. �Benj it is ok. If he wanted to kill me he would have done it a long time ago.� �Boy get in the car. If I wanted to hurt either of you I would have already done it. I can probably tell you more about yourself then anyone else can.� �Oh yeah?� He question as he and Lindsay got into the car. �Yup. But I don�t have anything to prove. Just something to show Linds.� With that he started the car and took off down the road. �What do you have to show me Jason?� �What is the one thing that you never thought would happen?� �I don�t know. Look Jas I don�t want to play this game. Please just tell me.� Jason looked over to her in the passenger seat. �Ok Kiddo. Your mom is alive.� |
