   I knew I was going to be nursing a hangover all day as soon as I woke up. My head was pounding and I groaned, rolling onto my stomach, burying my head in the pillow. Suddenly I felt a hand on my head, fingers delving into my hair and massaging my scalp, helping the headache. Cracking open my eyes I saw the copper hair on the pillow next to me, eyes still closed as he massaged my scalp. With a flash everything from last night came back and I sighed, moving so he could get to another part of my head that was still in pain.

"How you feeling?" Dean murmured, his voice raspier than normal.

"Like I got hit with a damn truck." I moaned, leaning up on my elbows, pushing my crazy hair away from my face.

"You don't drink much do you?" he asked, opening his eyes for the first time, finding my face.

"Sometimes. Not often though." I admitted, running my finger under my eye and wincing when it came back black, "I gotta get up."

"You look like a raccoon." He commented, rolling onto his stomach, hands under his head as he surveyed me.

"Are you usually this nice when you're hung over?" I shot at him, getting unsteadily to my feet, leaning a hand against the wall.

"Usually." He answered smugly, smirk on his face as he closed his eyes.

Shaking my head I walked out, using the bathroom, cleaning up before I attempted to venture out into the living room. Letting out a sigh I stumbled towards the kitchen after walking out of the bathroom, seeing Roman and Seth awake. Seth looked a little rough but Roman looked chipper. Seth was sitting on the side of the couch, feet on the table as Roman cooked. The smell of food was making my stomach turn, not sure if it was repulsed or hungry. Sitting gingerly on the couch I laid my head in Seth's lap, curling up and closing my eyes.

"You look how I feel." I told Seth, tugging a throw over my body.

"Roman is killing me by cooking right now." Seth groaned, hand on my shoulder and one on his stomach.

"Don't throw up on me please." I begged, looking up at his pale face.

"I won't." he shook his head, wincing at the movement.

I heard Dean walk out, coming to sit on the armchair. Opening my eyes I saw him stretched out, hair fluffy and wild. He scratched his stomach looking over at me and Seth with one of the most serious faces I had ever seen. Roman interrupted our staring contest, setting down a plate of food in front of me, making Seth groan pitifully.

"Ugh, Roman I don't think I can eat!" I shook my head, feeling my stomach make a weird noise.

"Trust me, just eat." He pointed to the plate and I sat up.

Taking my fork I ignored my stomach, eating slowly and carefully. Before I knew it my plate was empty and I was feeling a whole ton better. Sitting back Seth's face was green and he stood up abruptly, heading towards the bathroom. The door slammed and we heard the effects of last night come back full force. I grinned, crossing my legs on the couch before turning back to the other two. They were both looking at me with serious expressions on their face, and the smile dropped off mine.

"We just woke up do we really have to talk about it?" I sighed, bringing my knees up instinctively.

"We could keep putting it off but then you would never want to talk about it. Then we would never know what the hell that scumbag did to you." Roman growled, fury filling his face.

"It's just going to piss you off more so why do you want to know? You both know what I'm going to say is just going to sit in your heads till we go back to work Monday." I argued, resting my forehead on my knees.

"Because the alternative is seeing you like this. Look at yourself Lila, your practically curled in a ball just thinking about it. It's gonna stay in your head if you don't let it out." Roman sat softly, moving next to me.

I heard Seth come out of the bathroom, sitting next to me on the other side. He put an arm around my shoulders and I tensed up, Seth freezing. I hadn't meant to tense up but talking about last night had made me edgy. I breathed deeply, forcing my body to relax.

"How are you going to deal with this if I can't even touch you without you flinching?" Seth asked, rubbing my back gently, picking up the conversation immediately.

I closed my eyes, launching into the events of last night before I could stop myself. I kept my head on my knees, not wanting to look at any of them. I talked quickly, thanking my lucky stars my voice didn't crack or break. I finished quietly, hearing nothing but silence from the three men in the bus. I felt a bit better as I lifted my head looking to each of them. They all had the same expression on their face, intense fury.

"He was watching you all night. He knew you were drunk and he waited till you were alone." Dean growled, hands clenching, face totally changed.

I didn't say anything, not sure what to do at that moment. I knew Dean was right, he did wait till I was drunk and alone to come up to me. I just didn't know he was capable of being so manipulative and cruel. I turned to Roman lacing my fingers through his, needing to feel him nearby. Roman was my safe harbour and right now him and Seth and Dean were exactly what I needed. Looking around I stopped when I got to Dean. His whole demeanour had changed it suddenly it was like I wasn't even looking at Dean. His face shifted and I was staring at someone gone over the edge. I felt Roman's hand go stiff and Seth tense up next to me.

"Dean, relax." I breathed, not speaking too loud.

He didn't say anything, just stood up and walked back to his room. We were already on the road so I knew he couldn't go anywhere but the sounds from his room were making us wince. I picked up my phone, pushing numbers as I stood up, holding to me ear.

"Hey, what's going on?" Nikki answered, sounding bright and awake.

I was just about to say something when there was a crash from Dean's room and I jumped, waiting for him to storm out. When the door stayed shut I focused back in on the phone in my hand.

"When's the next town?" I asked, running a hand through my hair.

"Like 5 minutes, Lila what's going on? What's that noise in the background?" she asked, instantly sounding worried.

"Stop there. I'll jump on in the next town." I told her, hanging up the phone.

I talked to the driver, letting him know to stop so I could switch buses. Walking to Roman's room I changed into a pair of grey loose flowing pants and an over the shoulder baby blue top. Braiding my hair quickly I threw my stuff in a purse before walking back out, jumping as I heard another loud noise from Dean's room. We were pulling into town and Seth and Roman were looking at me.

"I have to get out of here right now. I just can't deal with this." I shook my head, frowning.

Dean's door ripped open and I jumped, whirling around to see him walk out, face still furious. My breath picked up as we stopped and I pulled my jacket on, looking away. I had never seen him like this, even when he was pissed off in the ring.

"Where are you going?" he asked, voice slow and raspy.

"I'm going to Nikki's bus for the day. I just need to get out of here." I explained quickly, zipping up my jacket and grabbing my bag.

"Why?" he asked, sounding confused, "Why wouldn't you just stay here?"

"Because you're scaring the hell out of me right now Dean. I can't even look at you because you don't look like yourself and I'm scared." I admitted, turning and running out of the bus.
