Broken (Edited edition)

Pax

I wake up alone in bed, and sit up. No one is in the room. The couch is all messy with blankets, the other beds are empty, and mine just has me in it. I get out of bed, and pull my slippers on. There aren't any notes, and there aren't any keys for the hotel room in it. I grab my lion toy, and pat my hair down a little bit. I walk out of the room, and go to the elevator. I take it down to the lobby, and see a sign that says breakfast on it. I follow where it's pointing, and find the big dining room. All the Grumps and Mark are at a huge table, with several fans around them. I feel myself shaking terrible, and start walking out of the dining room. There's someone behind me, and I jump at least an inch." Sorry." I say, and start walking more into the dining room. I figure I have no choice, I have to eat, and go to the breakfast bar." Hey, there's Lyca. Lyca!" I hear from the table, and look over. There are a bunch of fans smiling at me, and I sink my head a little bit into my shirt." Lyca! Come talk with us!" A fan says, and I just grab a doughnut and mug of coffee.

"Lyca!" I hear again, and feel my face go red. I pull my sleeves down, and shrink into my shirt some more." Guys stop, she's very shy." I hear a deep voice say, and recognize it to be Mark's voice. I hear someone walk up behind me, and feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn to see Mark standing there, and he smiles at me." Lyca it's okay, it's just fans. Come sit down with us." Mark says, and he crouches down next to me. I look over at him, and lift my head up a little bit more. He smiles at me, and rubs my back." They scare me." I say honestly, and he puts his hand on my shoulder." I know, but I'm here with you." He says, and walks me over to the table slowly. The fans are all smiling, and I set my breakfast on the table." Come here Angel." Danny says, ands picks me up. Mark sits down, and Danny sets me on Mark's lap. Mark wraps his arms around me, and smiles at his fans." Guys, you all know Lyca. Lyca, meet the fans." Mark says, and they all smile at me. I look down, and wrap my arms around my toy. Mark smiles down at me, and kisses my head." I told you she's shy." He says, and they laugh.

Mark seems totally comfortable with his fans, as if they are close friends of his. But he's never met any of these people, so how is he so comfortable with them? I sip my coffee very slowly, and Mark sees my hands shaking." Hey, relax. It's okay, no one's going to hurt you." He says, and I look up at him." You don't know that."

"I do know that." He says, and rubs his hand across my arm." She kind of looks like you Mark." One of the fans say, and I look confused." Yeah, she does. She has that look that you have, that kindness." Another one says, and some nod in agreement." Wow, I never realized that." Danny says, and I look over at him." Kindness?" I ask, and he nods." Yeah, whenever we're in a bad mood, you always seem to be able to make us way more happier. It's like a gift." He says, and I smile. I finish my breakfast as Mark talks with his fans, and Danny says that they have to get going soon. I know he's lying, because isn't starting for another two hours. Mark picks me up, and he says goodbye to his fans. He carries me out of the dining room, and to the elevator." We have two hours Danny." Mark says, confused as why we had to leave so early." Mark you moron." Arin says, and Mark looks over at him." Lyca was terrified, she was so scared I could see her vibrating across the table. She hasn't been around that many people before, that last time was at last Pax." Suzy says, and Mark looks down at me." I'm sorry Lyca, I wasn't thinking about that."

"It's okay, I was a little okay about it." I tell Mark, and he smiles at me. He sets me down when we get to the third floor, and we walk to the room." Okay Lyca you need to take a shower, and then I'll do your hair for you." He says, and Ross snickers. I take my clothes in the bathroom as well, and turn the water on. I take a long shower, wash myself with tons of soap. I get out of the shower, and dry off. I pull on skinny jeans, deep blue hoodie with black hoodie strings, blue Nike's, and take my toy in my hands. I open the bathroom door, and hear the Grumps laughing." Mark you barely know how to brush your own hair." Danny says, and I stand there near the wall. Mark tells me to sit down on the ground, and he takes out a brush. He slowly moves the brush through my hair, and makes sure he doesn't pull on knots. He gently gets the knots out with his fingers, and continues to brush my hair until it's smooth and dry." Tell me now that I just brush hair." He says, and starts to pull my hair into a pony tail." I use to do my nieces hair all the time." He says, and I stand up.
