I suddenly met Tommy's eyes and he smiled, before saying "Good morning sunshine," I feel my stomach churn. Adam sat on the couch, scrolling on his phone before meeting my eyes.


"Hello, what's your name?" He asked.


"How did I get here?" I asked, ignoring his question.


"Calm down sweetie. We aren't going to murder you or anything," Monte said, playing a chord on his guitar. The bus was moving under my feet. It made me sick.


"Tell me, why I'm here." I demanded, standing my ground. They all sighed and Adam tapped the seat beside him. I sat down and Tommy told me, as he leaned against the counter.


"You were hit by a car. You're arm was bleeding really bad, but Monte fixed you up. I was the one that told Adam to just bring you onto the bus and keep you here until you get better. It's my fault, you're here."


"Can I go home?" I asked, thinking about my friends and family. The family that really wasn't ever there, they most likely were too drunk to even notice that I was gone.


"Yeah, um... You live in Atlanta, correct?" Adam asked. I nodded. He chuckled and said, "We are 563 miles away from there right now, I think it's a little late to go back." He said. I sat there in silence.


These people were going to murder me.


"You didn't even ask me, if I wanted to stay on tour with you. Why didn't you call somebody?"


"We helped you, you weren't badly injured. They just knocked you out. You were fine." Tommy said, I stood up and got really close to him. He leaned farther back on the counter as I furrowed my brows at him.


"I could have died. And, if you would've took me here and I died in that bed, that would've been on you." I said, giving him the meanest glare I could.


"That thing beating in your chest right now, yeah. That," He poked my heart, "That's your heart, and it's beating. I think you're fine." How could he be so heartless.


I sighed and asked Adam, "When's the tour over?"


"In 3 months. Why?"


"Can I stay here with you?" I asked, staring at Tommy. He nodded and Adam nodded as well.


"I need clothes," I said, looking at Adam. He took out his wallet and yanked out a credit card.


"We'll go shopping tomorrow, it's late and we all need some rest," He said, standing to his feet.


"Where am I going to sleep?" I asked. Tommy showed me the extra bunk above his. I nodded. Monte and Isaac changed into their pajama's and so did Tommy, but I didn't have anything to wear.


"I don't have anything to wear,"


"Sleep naked, then." Tommy chuckled. I just stared at him. He yanked off his shirt and handed it to me,


"Here,"


I rolled my eyes before walking into the bathroom, I see my makeup smeared all over my face. I wiped it away with Adam's makeup remover. I brushed my hair with my fingers and pulled on Tommy's shirt. It was warm from his body heat and smelled of cologne and hair spray. I smiled at the scent.


I then took off my jeans and noticed that it didn't cover my butt. Only half my butt and I didn't want anyone seeing anything.


I cracked the door open and saw Tommy, Monte, and Isaac sitting on their bunks, on their phones.


"Close your eyes," I said, before watching all of them shutting their eyes. I stepped out and climbed onto my bunk, before covering my legs with the blankets.


"Okay, you guys can open your eyes now." I said, adjusting myself in the cramped space.


Tommy got up and walked into the bedroom, where Adam slept. He got the big room because he was the Queen. He grabbed something before handing it to me. My phone.


"Here, by the way. Thought you'd need it, for you know. Family." He smiled, handing it to me, the purple shiny case reflecting his blonde hair. It was so beautiful. I snuggled up with my phone.


While Tommy was standing, he turned off the light and the bus filled with silence and darkness. I slowly drifted to sleep.
