Ash's POV:

"WHAT THE FUCK I'M GONNA KILL HIM!" Nikki screamed as I suddenly woke up.

Chris was standing in front of Nikki with both of his arms on Nikki's shoulders trying to calm him down.

"She's already really stressed out from what happened so just keep your shit together man" Chris said to Nikki.

Then Nikki looked over at me and saw that I had woken up. He ran over to me and hugged me really tight.

"Oh my gosh Ash are you okay?"

"Yes. I'm fine now." I assured him.

"Did you sleep well Ash?" Chris asked me.

"Yeah" I said.

"I don't know what I'm gonna do to that motherfucker when I find out where he is" Nikki said.

"Nikki stop." I said. "Security took him away. The police is probably dealing with him by now."

I tried not to be too hard on Nikki because I know he's really protective over me. We've been best friends for years and he cares about me a lot and I'm really grateful for that.

"I'm gonna go to bed." I said standing up to hug Nikki and Chris goodbye. "I just want today to be over."

It was hard to fall asleep as I was haunted by the memories of what that man did to me. I've never felt so violated in my entire life. How the fuck could someone think that something like that is okay to do to another human being? Drunk or sober it's not excuse. He's a really fucked up person.  It felt like forever but I finally drifted to sleep. But that didn't mean my suffering had ended for the day. Because my mind was filled with nightmares for months to come.

Chris's POV:

Nikki and I hung out for the rest of the night even though we're not really that close. He got drunk and I just sat there on the couch and watched TV. The next morning was  the day when Warped Tour was officially over. We're back in Los Angeles and finally home. I'm so glad to be home again. It feels as if I haven't been home in ages because there's only a few weeks out of the year where I'm not touring with my band. I got to hang out with all my friends again and I got to sleep in my own bed which is so amazing after two months of sleeping on a cramped bunk bed. But I knew this luxury was only gonna last for one week because we're supposed to go on tour again soon. And I'm not gonna be able to relax for my entire time at home because we have a lot of rehearsing to do even though we just spent the past two months touring we have a completely different set list from what we had on warped for this tour and there are some songs on there that we haven't practiced in months. I woke up that next morning well rested for being able to sleep really comfortably in my own bed. I brushed my teeth and I covered my eyes in black eyeliner and eyeshadow and then I went to my closet and I put on a HIM t-shirt and ripped jeans. While I was eating breakfast my phone buzzed. It was a text from Ash. It read:

"Hey we haven't gotten to hang out in forever. Do you want to meet me for dinner tonight?"

I was so exited. Even though we weren't even dating and it was just a casual friends thing I'm still so glad that I get to spend time with her.

"Yeah I'd love to. Italian ok?" I responded.

"Yeah sounds great. Meet me at my house at 7." She texted back.

I left to go to her house at around 6:45. I always get really nervous when I see Ash. I shouldn't be. We've known each other for a long time and we're basically family at this point but there's something about her that intimidates me a lot. I knocked on her door to come get her and we got in my car and drove to the nearest Italian restaurant.

"I'm so happy I get to see you again" I said to Ash.

"I know me too. I'm so sorry we haven't been able to talk for such a long time" She responded. I could tell she was sincere.

"All that matters is that we get to hang out now" I said.

We ate our dinner and we caught up on each other's lives. New Years Day is coming out with a new album soon. I didn't even know about that. Then I told her about how I was supposed to go on tour next week. And then I realized that I'm not gonna be able to see Ash for another three weeks. The thought of that made me sad and then that's when the idea came to my head.

"Hey Ash, I know this is really short notice but do you wanna come tour with my band?" I asked her.

"That would be amazing!" She said. "We haven't toured together in so long. I'm gonna have to check with my manager first though."

Later that night I got a text from Ash.

"He said it was fine! Can't wait for next week!"
