"Are you excited Jellybean?" Vegan asked me jumping in his seat on the bus. I smile at the nickname he gave me before I was even born.

"Well, it beats going to school." I say back laughing along with him.

After Dad told me the news of the new tour, I straight away went and packed my bags. I wanted to be out and away from the town, people and school as soon as possible. We're currently 3 and a half hours away from our first destination and we've only been driving for about 20 minutes so far, so we're not that far out of town.  (A/N I have no idea where the hell this tour is suppose to be and if the places I'm listing are actually the correct distance apart but lets just pretend this all makes perfect sense, okay? Okay.)

"Is it alright if we stop for a second guys, I haven't filled up the tank yet." Our bus driver Benji asks, pulling over at a gas station.

"Yeah, that's fine mate, Lily do you want to stretch your legs and go grab some snacks with me for the rest of the ride?" Jordan asks getting up from his seat. I look over at Dad who nods his head with permission.

"Sure."

Jordan and I exit the tour bus and head towards the entrance to the gas station, heading straight towards the snack isle.

"You get which ever snacks you want and I'll get drinks, yeah?" Jordan asks, already walking towards the drink fridge on the opposite side of the store. As he does this I continue to pick up some snacks for everyone else on the bus to enjoy. As I go to pick up a bag of chips (crisps), I hear snickers coming from a few feet away from me. I try not to make it obvious that I'm looking at the people that are making the noise, as I glance at them from the corner of my eye I soon realise it's Trent, Taylor's current boyfriend of the week who is also the school's player and we all know he's only dating her to use her and vise versa. 

"Look who we have here, little piggy lily stocking up on fatty foods for the night. Did you already run out of shitty food to eat at school so you had to come pick up extras?" Trent mocks, laughing with his friend Mark. I try to not let his words get to me but it's really hard for them not to.

"Does piggy Lily not have anything to say, have you eaten so much already you're afraid it might just come back up or something?"

"Please stop." I whisper shaking as I finally find my voice.

"What was that?" Mark laughs.

"I said, please stop." I say slightly louder but obviously not loud enough for them to hear over their mocking laughs. I start to get worked up and my breathing starts to pick up. Oh god, I think, what's taking Jordan so long, please hurry up.

"I'm sorry, I must be hearing things," Trent says, stepping closer to me, making my breaths uncontrollable now, "I thought you said 'don't stop'." He mocks, circling where I'm standing. Tears start to make there way to my eyes.

"Aw is little itty bitty Lily gonna cry?" They both laugh.

"Lily, are you okay?" Jordan asks walking into the isle to coming and stand next to me.

"Yeah, she's fine, the little bitch just doesn't know how to not be a baby and control her emotions." Trent smirks.

"Hey asshole, that's my niece you're taking about!" Jordan shouts, drawing the attention of a few other customers in the gas station. I start to hyperventilate and my vision starts to go blurry once again.

Oh crap, not again! 

I quickly pull on the sleeve of Jordan's  shirt to draw his attention away from the two jerks in front of us. He turns around to see the look on my face and that's all it takes for him to realise how serious this is getting. He quickly drops the drinks he was previously holding and picks me up bridal style, causing all the things I was holding to fall onto the floor, and runs outside to the bus. As he steps on the bus everyone's attention is on my hyperventilating self.

"Shit, Lily! Are you okay babygirl, what happened!?" Nichols is the first to ask. He comes too close to my face and tries to hug me, he knows not to do that but he forgets for the time being which makes me even worse. When I start to have panic/anxiety attacks everyone knows not to come too close to me unless they have to move me quickly. Nichols been too close pushes me over the edge as I start to have more trouble taking breaths.

"Move Mat!" Dad yells, pushing Nichols out of the way so he can kneel in front of me but not too close, just enough to make it conformable for me.

"Everyone just back up and give her some room please!" Dad orders. Everyone gives me worried looks as they take a few steps back.

"Come on guys, lets go out the back and give them some space." Lee says, lightly pushing everyone to the back room of the bus.

"U-uncle T-t-Tom!" I breathe out fast.

"Yeah baby, I'm right here." He says taking a seat on the ground in front on the couch that he placed me on and sits next to Dad.

"Baby, I need you to look into my eyes okay, can you do that for me?" Dad asks, trying to calm me down. I turn my head and look at his eyes.

"Good girl, now start with the breathing like Tom showed you right?" He says looking at Uncle Tom for conformation. Uncle Tom nods.

"Yeah that's right, princess, just like I taught you, in through the nose, out through the mouth. Slow and steady."

After a few minutes of this I start to calm down which relieves Dad and Uncle Tom, knowing that if I didn't calm down, I would've passed out again. Dad realises this and slowly brings me in for a hug, not before asking if it was okay to touch me.

"I'm so proud of you for being able to calm yourself down babygirl," He says "Is there anything you need?" He asks pulling away from the hug but still holding onto my shoulders lightly. 

"Yeah, get me out of this horrible town." I say closing my eyes from exhaustion.

"Oh, and some salt and vinegar chips." I say smiling, causing them to chuckle.

I FREAKIN LOVE S&V CHIPS MAN!
