I woke up at 1 and went downstairs to see the guys had also just woke up. Joe said something about lunch and Pete made sandwiches while we all woke up. When we were done eating, I got them together to show them the video of me singing.

"Wow Abby! I didn't know you could sing like that! Your voice is really amazing!" Andy said and the guys agreed.

The rest of the day we sat around and watched supernatural. Pete ordered pizza for dinner. We all deserved a day to just relax. Tomorrow they start filming.

The next morning I woke up to the guys hurriedly getting ready. We all fell asleep on the couch and they must've woke up late. It looked like they hadn't ate anything so I made coffee for them and myself. I handed them it on their way out the door.

"Thanks sweetie. We'll see you tonight! Text if you need anything. And Dallon is coming over this afternoon. Are you sure you'll be ok?" Dad was getting worried and I assured him I'll be ok.

"Patrick, she'll be fine. Come on we're gonna be late." Dad kissed my head and I waved goodbye and shut the door.

What was I going to do all day?

I went upstairs and put music on really loud then got dressed. When I was done, I started singing and dancing song to the music. When my playlist was over, I laid down on my bed to catch my breath. Then I started thinking. About the good times I've had with my new family already. Then I thought about the times when they were being secretive. Were they hiding something? What if they were going to take me back? They probably hate me and are just using me for publicity. Why would they want a kid like me?

I went to bathroom and pulled out my blades. I've been clean for almost a month. "Hello old friend." I whisper as I pull my sleeves up. I make one cut and wince remembering the pain. But that quickly fades away and fear and sadness and anger replace it. I make cut after on one arm then move to the other. My arms are covered in the fresh wounds and I keep making them deeper. I start crying and my vision gets fuzzy. I wobble and drop the blade. My vision fades to black.

Dallon's POV

I get to the house and knock on the door. No answer. I ring the doorbell. No answer.

"Abby? It's Dallon!" I wait. No answer. Why isn't she answering the door? Maybe she's still sleeping. No, Pete texted and said she's awake. Maybe she's listening to music and can't hear me. I knock louder and wait. No answer. Oh god. What if something happened to her? I fish in my pocket and find the spare key Patrick gave me. I open the door and look around.

"Abby!" She wasn't on the main floor so I go downstairs. Maybe she's playing a video game. Nope. "ABBY!" Where is she?

I run upstairs and knock on her door. "Abby you in there?" Silence. "ABBY! Open this door!" No answer. I pick the lock and see her bathroom door is closed. "Abby? Are you in there? It's Dallon." No answer. I start to panic and pick the lock with shaky hands.

"Oh my god! ABBY!" I see her unconscious on the bathroom floor surrounded by blood and a blade next to her. Patrick told me that she used to cut, but didn't think she had recently. I calm down and check for a pulse. She has one, but it's small. I pull my phone out and call 911. They arrive and put on a stretcher and in the ambulance. I get in with her.

I pull my phone out and call Patrick.

"Dallon? Why are you calling? What's wr-"

"Patrick. Abby's on the way to the hospital." I hear silence then he starts to freak out.

"Oh my god what happened? I knew we should've took her with us! Oh Pete this is all my fault! I'm a horrible father!" I hear Pete calm him down and take the phone.

"Ok, so what happened?"

"I got to the house and was knocking on the door but she wasn't answering. So I unlock it and looked around for her then went into her room. I found her in the bathroom. She was surrounded by her blood and unconscious Pete! She was cutting again!" At this point I'm crying and we reached the hospital.

"Ok. Calm down Dal, I tell the guys, you tell Brendon. We'll be there in 5 minutes." He hung up and I followed the nurses to her room.

"Sir, I'm afraid only family can go in right now. She's in critical condition. She has massive blood loss and we need to pump more in her." I sit down against the wall and call Brendon to tell him what happened.

Patrick's POV

Oh my god this all my fault.

We arrive at the hospital and I run up to her room with Pete.

"Only family." A nurse says. I'm let in but Pete wasn't but he comes in anyway.

I go over to the bed and see her hooked up to machines pumping blood in her. Why did she do this? Does she not enjoy living with us? Oh god she probably hates me.

"I'm so sorry Abby." I whisper holding her hand. She was still unconscious but the doctor said she'll wake up at any time. Pete pulls a chair over for me and I sit there holding her hand, waiting for her to wake up. Pete sits by me and puts a hand on my shoulder.

"She's gonna be ok. And I know you think this is your fault. It's not. You haven't done anything wrong." Pete says to me.

"No sir-you can't go in-sir-" I look up and see Brendon pushing his way in.

"Oh my god." I know he feels bad. He loves her like a daughter, we all do. "Abby."

Soon Joe and Andy come in followed by Dallon, Kenny, and Spencer. We all wait in silence. None of us are married or have kids so in a way, Abby's is all of ours daughter.

Even though she's gonna be ok, I think we all cried, silently, in the last hour because she hasn't woke up yet.

Suddenly, her hand shifts and Abby's eyes open. She looks at me. I'm a horrible father. I've sat here for an hour crying so my eyes are all puffy and she just looks at me.

"I'm sorry." She whispers.

"No no no, it's fine sweetie! It's all good. You're ok, we all make mistakes. Look the guys are here. And Panic! is here. Everything is fine Abby." She looks at everyone. It's hard to believe that just last night, she beat us all at laser tag and danced around.

She looks back at me and mouths sorry again. I pull her into a hug and she sobs quietly into my chest for awhile. Everyone else left except me and Pete. The doctor said she would have to stay overnight so we're staying too.

She dozes off after awhile and so me and Pete. I think I'm gonna take her with us for the rest of filming. At least she's ok now.
