"Your parents.. they were in a car accident and we rushed them to the hospital. We did all we could." She says.

"Ok. Thank you." I hang up.

I'm looking straight ahead and see a bright light before closing my eyes and everything going black. Before I close them I hear screams of my name coming from all around me.

"Amanda, wake up please, please, please." I start to get my hearing back and hear sobs.

"Amanda. I love you. I love you so much please. Your all I need. I came here not wanting to fall in love and all I want is you. From the minute I saw you I knew you were the one. The one that would make me a better person. Please Amanda I need you" I open my eyes slightly.

"M..Matt?" I whisper. He turns around quickly.

"Amanda! Oh Amanda" he runs up to me. "Your awake oh my god" He says.

"What happened?" I ask looking around my hotel room. "Where is everyone?"

"You fainted when you got a call outside. Me and Nash brought you here. They went to tell Bart to delay the flight till 10:00" Matt says.

"Oh ok." I say.

"What was the call?" He asks.

"My parents." I feel a huge lump in my throat. "They're dead" I whisper. I shed tears and Matt wraps himself around me.

"It's ok beautiful. They're in a better place, were your family." Matt sways me while I cry.

"I'm going to call my manager." He releases me. "Ok I'll go tell everyone your up" he smiles warmly. He leaves and I get up pacing while it rings.

"Hello?" She answers.

"Hi" my voice is shaky.

"What's wrong?" She questions.

"Listen, I'll be back home tonight around 12. I'll be at work tomorrow and the next day but then I'm leaving for Boston." I say.

"Ok, thanks for letting me know. Is everything well?"

"No, my parents. They. They're gone." I hold my breath as she exhales.

"Gone?"

"They got into a car accident while in Paris" I say and start to cry but pull myself together.

"Oh Amanda. Are you ok?" She asks.

"Yes. I'm still on tour." I wipe tears.

"I'll up your pay for the home bills."

"You really don't have to Christ-"

"I want to. Now go calm down I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye" I end it. A few moments later everyone walks in.

"Amanda, are you ok?" Everyone asks.

"I'm fine. I just fainted." I assure them with a nod.

"So what was that call about?" Gilinsky asks.

I look at Matt. He looks so sorry.

"My parents." I gulp. "They uhm. They got into a car accident and they do all they could.. to help them." I keep myself together for everyone.

Everyone looks down except Kenzie. She comes over to me.

"It's ok babe. You'll be fine. God wanted them to be in a better place they're happier." she hugs me tight and I drop a tear on her sweatshirt.

"I'm sorry Amanda" Taylor says and Aaron nods.

"Please don't make this harder on me, let's just not mention it." I smile weakly at everyone.

They nod. "Well I'm going to pack now." They leave until Nash stays behind.

"I'm sorry Amanda. I'm here if you want to talk. I take back all of the fighting and kissing." He says looking down at his Vans.

"Thank you Nash" I whisper and stand on my tippy toes to hug him.

He kisses my cheek and leaves. I sit in silence while I pack my things. Around 9:15 Matt walks in again.

"We're going to leave" he smiles. I stand up with my bag.

"Ok" I nod.

"I think we are all going to stay at Nash's house because we are only on break for two days." Matt shrugs. We pick up our bags and head to the door. After getting in the limo and arriving at the airport it's 9:53 I take out my phone and tweet a few things then post a picture of my converse which used to be heels but I changed. And the romper and cardigan from the morning. I captioned it "Airport Life ✈️"

Once we got onto our flight I sat with Johnson and just turned on my Hoodie Allen album and fell asleep trying to forget my horrible day. Jack woke me up when the plane landed and I got up getting my things. We waited in the airport for our bags then a limo picked us up bringing us to Nash and Hayes house. As soon as we walked in I said hi to Nash's mom and tired Sky then went upstairs and took off my makeup and changed into a pajama dress plopping on my bed.

"Can I come in?" A voice whispers knocking.

"It's open" I sit up whispering back. It's Nash's mom.

"Hi sweetie how are you?" She asks.

"I'm fine. I'm sure you heard." I look at my bed.

"Yes." she pauses. "I talked to your manager and I think if you'd like to live in your house I would be fine with me."

"I will eventually, but got now I'm perfect. Thank you Mrs. Grier." I smile.

"Oh please, call me Elizabeth." She nods.

"Ok well goodnight I'll see you later" I smile and she leaves. I get into bed scrolling through Twitter realizing someone made a hashtag trending worldwide saying #RIPBradfordParents. I smile and read all of the nice wishes to me and them while falling asleep.
