Chapter Twenty

When Kyra ran off that stage, Matt knew she'd been hit with a paralyzing fear. He knew it the moment she broke out in a sweat at the mention of Heartless. There was something about that song. Andrew had turned around with a horrified look and pointed, then Matt bolted. He didn't get to her in time.

The band took an intermission, or at least that's what the announcer made it out to be, and everyone crowded behind the stage to check on Kyra. The person who'd attacked her, or attempted to, got away. Even with the stupid bodyguards that were supposed to be there for her protection, the unknown figure had darted through a crowd and disappeared.

Now, forty-five minutes later, Baby Stetson exited the stage again. The staff at the event moved Kyra away from the public eye and had taken her to a private room. Other than a few scrapes and a mouthful of dirt, Kyra was fine physically, but mentally was a different story. She sat huddled in Matt's arms, not saying much after talking to security about the person who'd approached her.

"Let's give her some space," someone said, ushering out the crowd of security and other staff that had gathered to check on her.

"Melody Roland from the band wants to talk to her," Matt heard someone say.

"It's fine," Kyra said softly.

"She's clear."

Melody and Avery both ran in.

"You guys, I'm so sorry." Kyra sat up and pulled away from Matt.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Avery asked quietly.

Kyra sighed. The room emptied, other than the four of them now, though Matt knew a security officer stood guard right outside the door. "Okay, the song you picked of mine to sing reminded me-" She sucked in an emotion filled breath.

Matt took her hand in his and held it, wishing he could take all her pain away.

"After the accident, I had a breakdown. I was singing Heartless when I was booeed at. Fans, or ex-fans, started throwing stuff at me onstage. Then, as I was ready to leave, someone tried to hurt me. Tonight, the anxiety hit and I wanted to get off the stage before I had a full blown attack. I'm sorry. I thought I could do it."

"Oh geez!" Melody cried. "I had no idea!"

"I know you didn't. It's not your fault. Sorry I caused some distress at your show."

"We're just glad you're okay. We would have come back sooner, but they pushed us to finish the show." Avery was apologetic.

"It's okay. Everyone's in a frenzy trying to figure out who came after me backstage. I think they wanted the show to go on to keep the panic level down." Kyra blinked away tears.

Matt's phone rang. He hesitated, but it could be Andrew. He moved away from Kyra.

"Is Kyra okay, Dad?"

"Yeah bud, she's fine," Matt replied quietly.

"Someone said she was attacked!"

"It was just someone trying to run from something." The lie was too easy, but Andrew didn't need to be included in the panic right now.

"Where are you?"

"We're in an office right now, just checking Kyra over.
