Backstage by Mandy Bee (guided reading books TXT) 📕

are alone we do a little more then ‘nothing’! We are still not ready to have sex, but just kissing him is a major high. I can get around a lot easier now, I’m still black and blue and sore, but I can handle it now.

All of a sudden Justin comes rushing in the room, shuts the door and locks it then gets on the bed and pulls me close to him. With his hands he is trying to cover my ears.

“Justin what in the world are you doing? Get off me!” I push him but I can barely move, he his holding me so tight. “If you don’t tell me what is going on right now, I’m going to scream bloody murder!”

“Just be quiet, and don’t move.” He whispers.

“You’re scaring me, what is going on? Where is Chris?” You can hear the fear in my voice.

“He is dealing with someone.” I can see he is trying to hear what is going on but the way he has my ears covered I can’t hear that far off. Oh the hell with this! I hit Justin in the knee, not hard enough to really hurt him but enough to make him jump. I run to the door and get it open before he gets to me, but the voice I hear drains all the blood from my face. Tammy!

“Not again!” I groan, and start to walk out the door but he grabs my arm whipping me back into the room.

“No! Chris will deal with her.” He better let go of me.

“This chick needs to know she is not welcomed, I love my brother but he has never been able to talk tough to a woman in his life. Me I don’t give a crap who you are, this is my house and that’s the end of it.”

“Flower, I’m telling you no! This time you need to stay out of it!”

“You’re telling me no? I’m sorry I hope I heard you wrong” I growl at him. “Either you let go of me and let me walk out there or I’ll send you to the ground then walk out there. You pick!” I stare him down. He releases me with a grunt but follows me to the living room.

“I don’t care what your sister says, this is your house too. Are you saying you can’t have friends over? Everyone knows she is doing Justin, hell it was on the news that she got beaten up over him.” Tammy is in a hissy fit. But what she said about Justin stopped me from going into the living room. I’m listening from the hallway, Justin has pulled me into a hug trying to comfort me.

“She did not get beaten up over him! A crazy fan tried to get into his dressing room, she didn’t even know Flower was going to be there!” Chris roars, this makes me jump. I can only remember maybe a handful of times that he has ever been this mad.

“You are not listening to me! Why do you let her rule your life? We could be out having fun right now, or in your room enjoying ourselves. But no we are fighting over her, again!”

“No you are not listening to me, I am not your boyfriend anymore! We broke up years ago, and yes we had a few nights of fun while I was in town but that was it. You have to stop coming over here and causing trouble!”

“After all I did for you, this is what I get? I watched that brat for days at a time, then you would come home and we would ‘play house’ until the next band called. I played mother to that bitch when hers wasn’t here, I think I should get something in return.”

“You want something in return?” I ask walking into the room “I’ll be glad to give you something Tammy. I’ll give you ten seconds to get to that door before I beat the shit out of you”

“Flower how much did you hear?” Chris sends a hateful look to Justin who is now standing behind me but doesn't touch me. She comes to stand right in my face.

“Well, looks like the nobody caught a big fish.” She hisses at me. With one quick move I kick her legs out from under her and I’m kicking the crap out of her! Chris has to lift me off the ground and carry me away from the bitch. She is crying in pain, good!

“Calm down.” Chris keeps whispering in my ear over and over again. He is holding me to him but still holding me off the ground. I’m not fighting to get down because I’m having too much fun watching her squirm in pain.

“Cab’s ready.” I hear Justin say.

“Take her.” Chris hands me over like I’m a doll, Justin holds me the same way. I watch Chris drag Tammy to her feet and shove her to the door. I wiggle in Justin’s arms and he walks over to wear I can watch but not get near her. Chris pushes Tammy into a cab then says something to the driver and walks back into the house as the cab drives away.

“You can put me down now.” He slides me down his body and gives me a sexy smile. As much as I would love to take him back to my room and have some fun, right now I need to talk to Chris, alone. “Justin can you give us a minute please?” He nods then leaves us to talk.

“I asked him to keep you in your room.” Chris says flopping down on the couch.

“I fought him, and won, but that’s not what we need to talk about. What was she talking about Chris? When did we play house with her? Is that why she comes over every time we are home? She thinks you owe her something?” He is just staring at the floor. “Damn it Chris talk to me!” I snap at him.

“It
