She shook her head and yawned again making me frown.

"Why not?"

"I'm not tired." She lied then yawned making me and the boys smile at her efforts.

"What's the real reason babe?" I smiled as she leant into me more.

"Just a dream." She whispered then closed her eyes as I held her "I'll just sleep here."

I smiled and picked her up as the boys also smiled. I gently placed her in her bed and stroked her hair. Soon enough, soft snores were escaping her mouth and she was asleep. I smiled at her and kissed her cheek then went back to the boys.

"she seems happy enough." Jaime smiled "maybe she'll start trying sooner."

I nodded and looked down then heard a yawn.

"Well I'm gonna sleep." Justin crawled into his bed earning nods from the others.

"I'll go get Mia." Vic smiled and walked into the chill room.

I could hear her groan a little bit and yawn as he lifted her up making me smile. When the girls are sleepy they're so innocent, it's sweet. Vic came out carrying Mia bridal style. She was wearing a pair of pink pyjama shorts and a short sleeved white t shirt meaning all of her cuts were on show. There was a lot of pain in Vic's eyes but also love and happiness. He stopped by us to say goodnight, trying to ignore where everyone's eyes were.

As he shifted, she groaned and gripped onto him then murmured "koala's stop moving." making us all laugh slightly. He chuckled and stared down at her in admiration then looked up.

"Anyway goodnight." He whispered and walked off of the bus.

I sat at the counter with Mike, Jaime and Tony then handed them all a can of drink.

"He really does care for her." Mike muttered "he's never actually given so many shits about a girl."

I knew the topic that was on everyone's mind so I said it "Do you think he knew about her thigh?"

We all shook our heads and sighed "those ones were brutal, some worse than Bella's."

Where Mia had more scars than Bella, Bella's scars were a lot deeper which is why she lost so much blood.

"Did you see Vic's arm earlier?" Mike whispered.

We all nodded and comforted his younger brother.

"I'm sure it's just a one off because of what happened." Tony smiled awkwardly.

Mike nodded and sighed "I just don't want him to get started on it again."

"We know bro, he'll be fine."

After a second of silence Jaime spoke again "Well I'm gonna sleep now as well."

Everyone nodded and said goodnight then went to their own tour buses.

I leant on the counter on my own, thinking about how much this had affected Bella. She already felt useless enough and now she must feel it even more. Snapping me out of my thoughts, someone wrapped their arm around my shoulder and kissed my cheek.

"You need to sleep babe."

I turned around and smiled at her "I'll be there in a minute."

She nodded and stumbled back to bed, leaving me alone again. She'll be fine, she has to be.

Pushing back the bad thoughts, I followed Bella into bed and curled up with her. She turned around to face me and smiled.

"Everything will be fine."
