We spend the next few days at the beach house, laying low from the paparazzi and letting the band's PR team and manager take control of the situation.

Johnny and I are inseparable and I know I've fallen for him. He was amazing during my panic attack and I've never felt more calm than I do when I'm with him. It might make it hard to be apart, but we're going to make it work.

The bus leaves for Las Vegas tonight and I can't wait. I've never been outside of California and I'll get to see Johnny perform again.

When we get back to the hotel where all their gear was, we're mobbed by paparazzi. Johnny holds tight to my hand the whole time and the guys stay around me.

Jeremy and Blake have been awesome and Blake and I have earned the Partners in Crime title with pranks we've been playing. Jeremy and Cade are like older brothers that I never had and I'm really feeling like I'm part of their family.

By the time we get to Las Vegas, the paparazzi have calmed down some, not mobbing us as we arrive at the hotel on the strip.

Johnny decides to take me out to dinner, sending Sam and I out to get something to wear. The photographers follow us and when we stop for lunch I decide to pay for their meals as well. I grab the doggy bags and walk out to them.

"Hi guys. You've been following us since this morning and my mother always taught me not to ignore people or treat people poorly who are just trying to do their jobs. We bought you guys lunch. Now, I'm going to be here in Vegas with the band as long as they're here but then I'm going back to LA. I'd really like to enjoy my time with Johnny while I'm able to, so I ask that you leave us be. I know you will still follow us, but stay in the shadows, please."

I can hear Sam chuckling behind me, stunned that I actually went through with it. All I want is to be able to spend time with the man I love while I still can.

They nod, digging into their food. "Thanks Miss Draper."

I smile, going back to my lunch with Sam before moving on to the next boutique.
