Chapter 8
Danica's POV
I opened my eyes to see James and Carlos standing over me. I sat up quickly and was attacked with a wave of dizziness. It quickly passed.
"How are you feeling?" James asked. "Okay," I answered. Shakily, I stood up. James grabbed my arm when I wobbled. Once I had steadied myself, he let go.
"Danica, the guys and I have been talking. We were wondering if you would like to come on tour with us. That way, you wouldn't be alone. Plus, you have an amazing voice! I really care about you and I don't want you to ever go through something like this ever again. Please say yes," James said.
I was shocked. Why would they care so much about me? We'd only met like two times! I didn't really believe it when James said I had a good singing voice, but I didn't really want to be alone anymore.
"If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'll accept your offer. Thank you," I said quietly. James smiled and replied, "We were thinking we could leave now if you're ready. So, do you want help packing your stuff?"
"No... I don't want you going through my clothing drawers, thank you very much!" Carlos and James held up their hands in surrender. Then it hit me. "Where are Kendall and Logan?"
Carlos answered, "They went out to get some food." I realized that it was close to ten in the morning. I must have been unconscious for a while. I started walking up the staircase. Every part of my body protested at the climb. I stopped halfway up the stairs to rest. James was instantly by my side. "Do you need help?" I shook my head, tears forming in my eyes. I could do this. Slowly, I made my way up the stairs, James watching my every step, ready to catch me if I fell. I reached the top with a sigh.
I walked into my room and pulled out my one and only suitcase. James looked at it and said,"You're not going to be able to put all your stuff in that, you know." I replied, "You'd be surprised. I don't really have that much." I proved him wrong when I managed to fit everything in the suitcase. "Okay, I'm ready to go."
Going down the stairs was easier than going up. Soon, Logan and Kendall returned and James put my suitcase in the bus. He then helped me up on the bus. We drove away and I said goodbye to my old life and hello the the new life.
