Spiked My Heart

Do It

"Jill...Jill wake up!" I opened my eyes to Alyssa, Cammy, and Melody sitting at the end of the bed looking worried.

I realized I was breathing heavily again so I tried to get it under control. The girls realized this and came and sat by me.

"The nightmares are happening more frequently" Alyssa said.

This was the second time in a week, that the girls saw, that I'd had nightmares. They used to happen maybe once a week, but this week they'd been more frequent, longer, and worse. They weren't really nightmares though, they were memories.

"Okay, we need to get you out of this room" Cammy stated.

After the girls stood up I watched them head to the door, hints of worry still evident on their faces. I did that to them, I always worry them and I hate it, now I have Hunter and the boys to, soon they'll know the few details about me that the girls do and they'll be worried as well. I can't keep doing this to people, it's not fair to them. I slowly got up, put my hair in a bun, and headed out the door with the girls.

Mark's POV

"So after the meet and greet you'll all go backstage to...." Shawn droned on.

The boys and I had been in this meeting for about an hour and a half and we were all getting restless. We knew the plan for the show but Shawn always went over everything because we have a tendency to ignore the plans and do what we want. Shawn was in the middle of explaining what was happening after the meet and greet when my phone started vibrating in my pocket. We weren't supposed to get our phones out because we're supposed to "listen" but we'd been over this a thousand times. I slid my phone out of my pocket and hid it under the table, seeing the message was from Alyssa I started smiling but tried to quickly cover it up.

*text from Alyssa*

Alyssa- "The girls and I are heading out, Jill had a slight panic attack, it wasn't as bad as some she's had, she's okay so don't tell Hunter, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, text me when the meeting is over and you can all come meet up with us"

I reread her message at least four times, I wanted to ask why Jill panicked but I figured she wouldn't tell me. I locked my phone and went to slide it back in my pocket but I looked to my left to see Hunter looking at me. He didn't seem to know something was wrong as he didn't look worried he just seemed amused to have caught me with my phone out. He raised an eyebrow at me so I mouthed Alyssa's name to signal she had texted me. He formed an "o" shape with his mouth and nodded, slightly pulling his phone out to check it. He looked a little sad before sliding his phone back into his pocket. My guess was he was hoping for a text from Jill and didn't receive one. I hated knowing something had happened to his girl and he didn't know, it wasn't right. I slowly pulled my phone out and hid it under the table as I tapped out a text.

*text to Hunter*

Mark- "Something happened with Jill"
I saw Hunter pull his phone out before shooting me a death glare but his eyes seemed sad and betrayed. I was really confused by his reaction before I realized why he was upset.

Mark- "Oh god! No, bro I didn't mean something happened between her and I, you know I'm with Alyssa and would never do that to you"
Hunter- "Then what do you mean?"
Mark- "Alyssa texted me and told me Jill had a panic attack so the girls were taking her out to walk around a bit"

I heard a sharp intake of breath from Hunter before he stood up, silencing Shawn with his disruption.

"Hunter is there a problem?" Shawn asked.

"I have to go"

"I know you're bored but we're almost finished"

"No!" Hunter yelled before quickly looking down, ashamed of his outburst.

"I'm sorry, but Jill needs me, I have to go" He grumbled.

"So this is about that girl?" Shawn paused.

"I told you boys these girls couldn't be a distraction, we aren't ending this meeting because your "girlfriend" sorry I mean little play thing, misses all the attention she gets" Shawn shot back adding sarcasm to the word girlfriend.

The boys and I sat stunned. Shawn had never said a mean thing to us in the whole time we'd known him. As we turned our attention to Hunter he seemed shocked but that was quickly replaced by anger.

"My girlfriend is amazing and you will never speak of her that way! She just had a freaking panic attack and I want to make sure she's okay!" Hunter seethed heading towards the door.

"Hunter! If you walk out that door you're off the tour" Shawn spat, freezing Hunter in his place.

"Then kick me off" Hunter replied, straight faced.
