Spiked My Heart

We're A Family

I saw the girls look at us so I looked at them and shrugged slightly. Hunter led me through a set of doors before stopping and facing me.

"What's going on?"

I didn't say anything I just looked at the ground swaying back and forth slightly while shrugging.

"Babe, babe look at me" Hunter said putting his hand under my chin making me look up.

As I stared into his eyes I could see his confusion and what seemed to be worry. I was at a loss of words, I didn't know what to tell him.

"Jill" Hunter said again never breaking eye contact.

"I...I'm scared, I'm terrified actually, I don't want all these people judging me and watching me, it scares me" I said trying to look away, Hunter wouldn't let me.

"There's no reason to be scared, I'm here for you, I explained to everyone it was my fault and it was an accident, I'll never let anyone hurt you Jill, I promise"

"I lo...I mean that made me feel a lot better babe, thank you" I said hugging him.

Neither of us made an attempt to break the hug, so we just stood in the hallway, holding each other.

"Hey lovebirds! Let's get going we're heading back to the hotel!" Weston yelled from outside the door.

Hunter and I reluctantly broke our hug, I smiled at him before looking down and walking towards the door. I didn't pay much attention to him walking beside me till I felt him grab my hand and hold it as we walked towards the group. When we reached the doors leading to the main room where the stage was I hesitated momentarily. Hunter must have noticed because he looked at me.

"Nobody's in there, everyone left, and anyone who stuck around to see us leave is outside and they won't see you then, don't worry" Hunter assured me, smiling.

I nodded and tried to calm down, I didn't want to have an episode in front of all the boys or worry the girls. Once we reached the main room Hunter and I parted ways, the girls and I followed Christine to the door where we waited till the boys went outside to distract the girls before heading to the car. After the boys spent time talking to the supporters who stayed they said their goodbyes and climbed into the car behind ours.

Once we reached the hotel the boys raced each other up the stairs to the room while the girls and I laughed along with Christine on our way to the elevator.

"How do you put up with so many boys?" Alyssa laughed asking Christine.

"They're wild, I have no idea how I do it" She replied laughing.

When our elevator reached the floor, the doors opened and we stepped out heading to the room. When we got there we found all the boys sitting on the floor.

"We couldn't get in"
"Nobody would give us a room key"

The boys all complained.

"Oh you poor things" Christine said sarcastically while stepping around them and unlocking the door.

The boys hurried in and changed before going to the kitchen.

"Mom we're hungry" Brandon stated.

"Well, what do you want?"

The boys looked at each other before looking back at Christine.

"Pasta"

"Oh dear, pasta is a mess with all of you" Christine said while walking to the cabinets that had been previously stocked by the tour crew.

"Girls do you mind helping me?" Christine asked setting spaghetti on the counter.

"Not at all"

"Boys, go take your showers, it's not enough to just change clothes"

There was a chorus of groans but the boys obeyed.

After supper was finished and everyone was ready we sat down to eat. Dinner was nice, we were all laughing and telling jokes, Geo was constantly looking over at Cammy when she wasn't paying attention, it was really cute. Mario was holding Mel's hand under the table, I don't know if they knew it was obvious or not but it was cute. I looked over at Alyssa when I heard her giggle, Mark was whispering to her making her laugh, I couldn't help but smile at them. Everyone was so happy, we all got along so well, like a big dysfunctional family.
