Four

Scarlett's POV

I headed back to the girl's room and when Frenchi opened the door, all four of them were in the process of packing all their belongings. I only had a duffle bag and a smaller bag because it's what I was aloud to bring from my house when I went to Maria's so it wasn't much.
"You hungry? Want me to make you something?" Erin asked as I pulled out a black Tupac tank top and black skinny jeans from my bag.
"Uh no but thank you though" I told her smiling. She nodded and walked into the small little kitchen to make herself a coffee while I walked to the bathroom to change.

As I was brushing my teeth, someone knocked on the door so I opened it to see Rachel standing there.
"Hey kiddo mind if I use the mirror real quick to throw my hair up?" She asked. I shook my head and moved to the side for her to step in. I was already dressed and ready for the day anyway. Brushing my teeth is always the last thing I do in the bathroom so I was basically done.

"So how do you feel about daddy dearest?" She asked spinning her hair into a top knot bun.
"He hates me so I'm just gonna act as heartless as he is. No body prays them" I told her cleaning my mouth. She looked at me and gave off a confused look.
"Me and my mom always say that. No body prays for the heartless" I told her making a smirk come across her face.

"What's that for?" I asked.
"Nothing darling. Pack up your bag. We're leaving in a half hour" she said putting a bobby pin in her hair to keep her bangs out of her face before leaving the bathroom.
I grabbed my bathroom bag which consisted of my things and zipped it up before walking out before stuffing it in my bag and throwing it over my shoulder.

"Ready" I said looking at Jess who had her bag as well.
"Let's go see if the boys are" she said opening the door allowing me to go first.
"You're offaly quite scar. What's on your mind?" She asked as she closed the door.
"What do you mean I'm quite? I'm just tired Jess" I told her.
"Tired of what?" Living.
"I don't know. Not enough sleep I guess. Loosing someone special to me and then having to live with someone who doesn't necessarily enjoy my presence isn't exactly the Barbie life you know" I told her as we got to the boys' front door.

"Vic loves you. Trust me" she said just as she knocked on the door.
"I'm coming I'm trying to put on pants" we heard Jaime. Soon the door was open revealing him attempting to put on skinny jeans and shirtless.
"Babe I told you, dry yourself off properly before you decide to put on clothes. Idiot" she told her boyfriend.
"Yeah yeah whatever. I'm rushing because I got kicked out by princess Tony and we have to be out of here in a few minutes" he said zipping up his pants and banging on the bathroom door.

"Fuck off let me tie my braid you fuck face" swearing and Tony don't exactly go together in my eyes. It's uncomfortable because he's too innocent.
"Turtle let's go" Mike said coming in the hotel room from the deck with Vic beside him. The brothers grabbed their bags and soon Frenchi, Rachel and Erin all came in the room followed by Tony running out of the bathroom to zip up his bag.
"Ready" he finally said.
"Clear out!" Mike shouted. We all left the room and Vic closed it behind him coming up to me.
"Lemme take that. It looks heavy" he offered but I just threw it over my shoulder with a grunt and smiled cheeky at him.
"I got it"

"Where's sleeping?" Jaime asked as we loaded the tour bus.
"They should be out soon. Well that's what Kellin messaged me saying" Vic told his friend putting his bag there.
"Let me take that darling" I heard Tony. I turned around and he had his hand out to take my bag so I gave it to him.
"Thank you" he smiled back at me and put our bags where everyone else's were.

"Boys, everyone in the bus now. Move it move it move it" a lady- I'm assuming their manager- said. I got in just as five guys ran out of the hotel running to the white van behind us. I'm guessing they're sleeping with sirens.

The bus was huge. There was the drivers seat at the front, a cute little living space behind it, a kitchen then a bathroom followed by 12 bunks and ending with a lunge area.
"This is so cool" I said looking around.
"Get use to it if you're gonna be coming with us on tours" Jaime said coming in. I turned around and looked at him confused.

"You're Vic's daughter. You're obviously gonna come with us" he told me.
"I would've thought I'd stay home or something. My mom use to"
"Well Vic isn't Cara. He cares about his kid" his eyes widened as he realized what he said.

"I didn't mean it like-"
"My mom did care for me. A lot Jaime. You guys just know whatever Vic told you which I'm assuming is all bad shit to make him seem like the good guy. My mother cared a lot about me, she was an amazing mother" I defended-well half lied- my mom.
"What's going on" Vic asked coming into the bus. I rolled my eyes and walked to the back closing the curtain.

Tony's POV

"I swear I didn't mean to piss her off" Jaime defended himself by raising his hands over his head.
"She's just uneasy right now dude it's fine" Vic said sitting on the couch. It's like he didn't even care, but then again he wasn't the one sitting outside with her early in the morning talking about her childhood and what she's been through since she left. He wouldn't understand unless both of them stop being stubborn and talk.

Everyone came in and sat around in the living space while I snuck to the back to check up on Scarlett. I opened the curtain to see she was sitting in front of her small bag-it only consisted of her iPod, charger, headphones and a hair straighter- looking at something.

"Hey" I whispered closing the curtain. She turned her head and gave me a small smile before looking back at what was in her hands. A picture frame.
"What's that?" I asked her. She showed me the photo and it was of a young blonde women with blue eyes sitting on a swing holding I'm guessing her daughter. Both of them were smiling, not looking at the camera. The swing looked like it was tied to a tree but it was beautiful and sunny behind them.

"That's me and my mom when I was a year old. The only picture that wasn't ruined from when I was a baby" she said looking at her hands.
"What happened to the others?" I asked.

"Her and one of her many ex's got into a fight and he decided to rip or break everything he saw. Photographs included. I remember hearing screams from downstairs but my cousin kept telling me to stay with her and that my mommy would fix it. The house was trashed when he left so we lived with my moms sister until it was fixed. Other then this photo I don't have any until I was six in which are all still at my house that's being taken over by my grandparents" she spoke.
"I'm sorry scar. I shouldn't have asked" she just shook her head and looked up at me.

"It's okay Tony. I don't blame you" I pulled her into my grip and she rested her head on my chest.
"I promise you darling, I won't let anyone hurt you. Not your dad, not any of your family, anyone online, no one okay?" I felt her nod and I kissed her head. Something about her, whether it be her past or just the way she was now, gave me that urge to protect her.

Vic clearly isn't going to do anything right now so I have to be there for her. Be her guardian. Especially now since we're heading home where fans don't know about her.
"In your bunk already tone?" I heard Mike ask.
"I gotta go but I'll be right outside okay?" She nodded and i got up leaving her in the lounge.

"Why were you back there?" Mike asked scaring me as I closed the curtain.
"Checking up on Scarlett" I told him.
"What did you have to tell me earlier?" He asked.
"It's a long story. I'll have to tell you when we get home"
"Why not now?" He questioned stopping me from leaving the small space.
"Because there's no where private to talk. Scar is back there and everyone is upfront. I don't want anyone hearing Michael so it's gonna wait" I said pushing past my tall friend and crawling into my bunk for the long drive a head of me.
