End of tour

Normani
Today's the last day of tour. Let me tell you the craziest tour I've ever been in. I'm on the couch looking out to the window watching fields pass us.
"Mani?" Someone says.
I look down to see winter trying to get up with her tiger paci in her mouth holding her blanket.
I pick her up and place her on my lap. We watch the window pointing things out. When we passed a horse winter gasped. It was so cute. Ally and Dinah came by us sitting down too. Winter plopped down on the couch and started counting her feet. We all watched her in awe. She would get to three and stop and start over.
"I can't do it," she huffed crossing her arms.
It was so cute.
"What's that you can't do baba," Camila asked walking over to us sitting on the floor. Lauren came in seconds later sitting with Camz.
"I try counting toes but don't know what comes after twee," winter explained.
Lauren and Camila looked at each other with a glem in their eye. Looks like we're going to be counting things today.

Camila
"Alright winter let's see. One, two, three, FOUR, five," I say pointing to each toe.
She looks down at them trying so hard. It looked so cute.
"One two thwee four five!" Winter smiles clapping her hands.
We all clapped along with her. She counted her other toes and hands. Each time she would clap her hands. After an hour of counting she got board. She walked into her bunk and grabbed a stuffed tiger.
"Hey lolo," I smiled at Lauren.
Lauren smiled at me kissing me on the cheek. We just talked for a while laughing and smiling. Realizing winter hasn't come out of the bunk I went to get her. I pull back her curtain to see her cuddled up in blankets. Her paci was hanging out of her mouth and her eyes would twitch every now and than. Carefully I placed her in my arms and brought her to the front. I sit on the couch and hold her close to me.

Winter
I rub my eyes open to see I'm in mommies arms. I snuggle closer to her wanting to keep warm. I suck on my paci looking around the bus. We're finally going home. I wonder how long till we're home.
"Good morning sweet pea how did you sleep?" Lolo asked looking over to me.
I make grabby at her. Mama puts me in mommies arms. I snuggle into her playing with her fingers.  I lean my head on her chest staring off into space.  I don't really want to talk today. I had a bad dream and it felt so real.

Flashback
I was sleeping in my bunk when Camila and Lauren come in. They have evil smirks on their faces. Lauren steps aside and my father is there. Well Austin. He grabs me by my hair and throws me on the floor. He starts kicking me in the side and tells me how worthless I am. They leave me in the orphanage and adopt one of my bullies instead.

I break my trance from my flashback to see I'm holding mommies hand really tight. I release her hands and run toward the bunks. I hear yelling behind me but I don't care. I run into my bunk and pull up my sleeves. I start clawing at them. I just want everything to stop. Tears are coming out of my face and my arms are all bloody. I hear everyone looking for me. But they never cared. Who would care about me.

Dinah
I run to the bunks and hear crying. I push back the curtain to see winter sobbing her hands gripping her arms. I wrap my arms around her pulling her out of the bunk.
"No, no please I'm sorry. Don't send me back. PLEASE," she screams on top of her lungs.
I hold her tightly moving to the bathroom.
"Girls in the bathroom!" I yell poking my head outside.
I look down at winter to see her still crying. I gently take her hands away from her arms and hold them tight. Yes there bloody but I don't care. I bunch of footsteps run down the hall and come into the bathroom. Winter cowers against the mirror terror in her eyes. Like pure we're going to kill you look.
"Winter... what happen?... Why would you do this to yourself?," I ask slowly.
She shakes her head muttering to herself. I have no idea what to do. Normani pats me on the shoulder and takes my place instead.

Normani
I tap winter on the shoulder getting her attention. She barely looks at us. I grab a towel and place them on her arms stopping the blood. After a while they stop. I bandage them up for her so she all cleaned up.
"Winter... please talk to us... we want to help you, but we can't if you keep it inside?" I say brushing some hair out of her face.
She takes a shaky breath her whole body shaking actually. I gently put my hand in hers and rub my across her hand.
"I h-had a nightmare. Y-you guys were there. A-Austin was there t-too. You sided with h-him. He threw me to the ground and told me everything that's wrong with me. It was so r-tea—," she choked out not able to finish her sentence.
This girl is going through so much. It pains me so much. But we're determined to help her. I pick her up and place her on my hip. We walk into the living area. I place her on the table and we sit around her. She looks at her shoes. Than she counts her fingers again and again. I gently place my hand on her knee. Slowly she looks up at us. She probably thinks we're at killer mad at her. But we're not. Just really sad she didn't come to us. I look up...
