The guys had gone away for a quick weekend show, they were performing tonight and tomorrow then would be back late Sunday night after their second show. It was just a quick hour flight away, I decided not to go because I was still recovering from some kind of sickness I had from traveling.

I was curled up on the couch with a bowl of soup when my phone ran, a smile crossed my face to see it was Danny FaceTiming me. I answered, he was in full makeup and costume getting ready to go on stage. "Hi Mamas just calling to say hi before I go on stage. How are you feeling?" He asked. "Better, still a bit of a sore throat though. I'm just sitting having a bowl of your moms soup she made and watching a movie" I said. He pouted his bottom lip slightly jetting out, "I'm sorry baby. Wait, did you say my moms soup?! Like her famous chicken soup?!" He asked.

I laughed, "yeah she dropped it off an hour ago, it's SO good" I groaned slightly, spooning a bite into my mouth. "Not fair! That's my favorite!" He whined. I giggled and shrugged "sorry I'm your mothers favorite" I teased. He rolled his eyes, "the fact that I can't even fight you on that is hysterical, she adores you. I'm getting ready to go on. I just wanted to say hi because you'll probably be sleeping by the time I get off." He said, pushing his hair out of his face. "Ok, have a good set baby. I miss you and I love you" I replied. "I love you more mamas I'll see you tomorrow night ok?" He said blowing me a kiss. "See you tomorrow" I smiled before hanging up the phone.

As I set the phone down an unsettling feeling washed over me, I couldn't pinpoint what it was but something told me something was going to happen. I pushed the feeling aside, figuring I was being paranoid or that I was just anxious with Danny being away from home. I usually would travel with him but I was really not feeling well when he left last night so he insisted on me staying behind since it was a short trip.

I finished my soup and still had the unnerving feeling, I decided to put some music on and read to try and distract myself. It helped for a while but I grew restless so I decided to go outside for some fresh air and go for a night swim since it was still nearly 85 outside.

I put on my bathing suit and went outside. The moon was shining bright and the crickets were chirping, it was the perfect summer's night. I dipped my feet into the pool and it was the perfect temperature, just cool enough to be refreshing. Typically I would never swim alone at night because if something happened no one would get to me on time but Danny had security cameras installed that streamed right to his phone and would notify him of movement in the backyard. Dave his drum tech always held onto Danny's phone during shows just in case I wasn't there and I needed to contact Danny.

I spent a while in the pool before I moved over to the hot tub to relax my muscles. I stared at the moon and listened to music just relaxing. The feeling of dread still lingered and I had no idea why.

11:30 rolled around and I decided to go inside and get ready for bed. I dried off and threw on one of Danny's T shirts before crawling into bed and getting settled. I plugged my phone into its charger and set it down then got myself comfortable. It took me much longer to fall asleep than usual but soon I was drifting off.

I woke around 1am and checked my phone. I had 15 missed calls and 34 missed texts from Sam Jake and Josh. I sat up and opened my phone. Each text said "y/n call us back asap". That anxious feeling from earlier came back and it was much worse this time. I hit Josh's number to call him. It rang twice before he picked up, "y/n?!" He said his voice sounded anxious as hell. "Josh what's going on?" I asked, panic stricken by the tone of his voice. "There's been an accident, Danny is ok but we are on the way to the hospital" he said.

My stomach dropped and I immediately became nauseated, "what the fuck do you mean you are on the way to the hospital?!" I yelled. "Can you get on a flight?" He asked. "Josh what the fuck is happening you're scaring me, why do I need to get on a flight?!" I started crying. "Hey take a breath you need to calm down if you are going to travel. We were cleaning up after the show and the cases that hold the speakers toppled over on top of Danny with the speakers in them" Josh explained.
