Once we finished our Meet and Greet, I was slightly depressed. There were barely any fans that showed up, I guess that we just aren't very popular yet.

One of the fans, though, handed us a box, and it was filled to the top with ropes in the shape of nooses, blades, pill bottles, and bleach bottles. She smiled sadly at us and had told me that we helped her stop trying to commit suicide. She was so beautiful, and so strong. All of our fans are, and it makes me so happy.

We were walking around the town, sightseeing, and it was safe to say that we were all pretty tipsy. I was holding Mike and Eli's hands, and we were all skipping down the street singing our song, "Party By Myself".

"Fuck everyone else, Ima party by myself!" I giggled, dancing around. After a while of dancing and screaming profanities into an ice cream cone, we finally made it to our destination: The hotel we were staying at.

Eli walked me to my room, after Andy and Mike went inside, and he pulled me into a hug. "I want you to stay with me tonight" he slurred. I giggled and poked his button nose, playfully.

"I don't wanna eat the unicorns!!" I smiled and kissed his cheek. "You smell like flowers, and potatoes." I looked at him weirdly and then I blacked out.

*Eli's Pov*

All day was so much fun. It was our first concert of the tour, and to celebrate, we all got wasted, except me. I had one drink and then decided to be the sober one.

Once they had gotten completed fucked up, I got them some ice cream and started to walk them home, tiredly. I hadn't slept well for a long ass time, suffering from insomnia, so as I walked them to the hotel, my mental stability lowered and my speech began to slur.

Mike and Andrew walked into their rooms, giggling maniacally, and I pulled Anika aside, my hand on her hip to keep her from falling over. "I want you to stay with me tonight" I slurred slightly, trying to keep my eyes open. I took notice that both Mike and Andrew went into the same room, so I wanted her to stay with me, just to be safe, and to keep me company.

"I don't wanna eat the unicorns!" She smiled up at me, drunkenly, and stood on her tippy toes, kissing my cheek. Her breath reeked of alcohol, and you could definitely tell that if she didn't lay down soon, she'd pass out. I shook my head and pulled her slightly closer to me, to keep both her and I standing. "You smell like flowers, and potatoes." She giggled loudly and bit her lip, looking at me weirdly. She closed her eyes and yawned, then she fell into my chest, scaring me slightly.

I looked at her and realised that she passed out. I shook my head and picked her up bridal style, unlocking my door, and brought her into the room. I sat her down on my bed and began to take off her shoes, smiling at her slightly. I took off her jeggings, knowing that she was wearing long boxers under them, and tossed them my her shoes. She was in her long grey sweater and smiled, biting my lip.

I picked her up again and felt her arms tighten slightly around my neck. I lifted up the blankets and slowly slid her under them, gently. I kissed her forehead and moved hair out of her face. "Night, love" I whispered before walking into the kitchen area and grabbing out a beer.

Shaking my head, I put it back and turned off all of the lights, grabbing the blankets and pulling them back, I slid into Andrew's bed and turned off the lamp in the bedside table. I felt myself drift off into an sweet and blissful sleep as I listened to Anika mumble in her dreams.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up with little fingers poking my face. I opened an eye and smiled at Anika. "You don't have Apple juice, you meatloaf!" She playfully pushed me and pulled my hand, getting me to sit up. She had seemingly went to her room and changed into a tight black tank top and white jeans with her hair in a pony tail. She was wearing her knee high converse and had a light green over shirt in her arms.

"Because I drink coffee, Hon" I raised an eyebrow smiled, getting out of bed. I grabbed my bag and pulled her into a hug. "Morning" I whispered into her hair and walked into the rest room to change my clothes.

I changed into some dark blue jeans and a simple black v neck, with my blue and green high tops. I walked out and saw Anika sitting on the bed watching none other than The Jungle Book. I laughed at her and went to the counter, grabbing out a coffee mug and poured myself a cup. I sat beside her and she rested her head on my shoulder.

"You're my best friend" she smiled as she leaned closer into my neck, me wrapping my arm around her back. I'm heard a loud thump and I looked over, seeing Andrew standing there, his acoustic on the floor and tears in his eyes. I felt my heart beat race as I realised what he had just heard.

*Anika*

I cuddled into Eli's neck and took in his scent, smiling widely. "You're my best friend" I smiled and leaned in closer to his neck. He wrapped his arm around my back, protectively, and I smiled. I heard something large fall to the floor, and I quickly looked up, seeing Andy standing there with tears in his eyes and his acoustic on the ground.

I stood up quickly and slowly walked over to him. "Andy...." I whispered.

"We have a concert in twenty minutes, bitch" he growled and ran out the door, guitar in hand and my heart smashed on the floor. I felt myself begin to shut down, and I fell to the floor.

"I'm s-so s-sorry, A-Andy" I whimpered into the air. I pulled at the roots of my hair and began to sob. I had probably just lost my best friend, my brother, who had always been there for me. I heard Eli slowly walking towards me, from behind, and I started to scream. It wasn't even really words, but awkward guteral sounds.

------------------------------------------------------------

I eventually got up and got to the stage, and tried to put on a great show. Andy barely even glanced over at me, and Mike just kinda played what he had to, obviously sensing tension.

"Alright guys!" I smiled into the Mic. "This song is called Another! This song is one of our first songs we wrote. This is when my foster parents had just given me back to my mum, and my mum was a hot effin mess. So, my only escape was drinking. At this time Andy, Eli, and I were all having drinking issues, and once I sobered up, we wrote this song. This is for all of you who are scared. This is for those who are dealing with those same issues! This is Another!" I yelled into the Mic and glanced over at Andy who had tears in his eyes again.

He looked over at me, and I suddenly knew that we were going to be alright. I nodded and he started to sing. "Pour me, pour me, pour me another"

The crowd went wild as we all sang with tears in our eyes. Mike gently played his guitar and Andy was beside me, his bass making soft and mellow sounds, and Eli's beat was perfect. The entire song made me cry, but it was so beautiful. "It holds me, holds me. Like no other. One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home. Truth is I don't really have a place to go. So pour me, pour me, pour me another." Andy harmonized beside me.

"I'm not just a man with these broken dreams. Even I could go to heaven, if I part the sea."  I sang, biting my lip.

"Whats life inside a bottle if it's gone?" Eli sang.

The song ended and the crowd was wild. I ran over to Andy and hugged him. "I'm sorry" I whispered. He shook his head and kissed my cheek.

"I shouldn't have called you a bitch, or ran away. I sowwy" he looked at me. I giggled and walked back to my Mic, finishing the set. I was totally stoked that we were actually getting big, and there are actually fans, but, the only thing that I could think of was Dani.
