Lost In The Moment

Ten

I woke up in a very dark place.
I rolled over and pulled the curtain away. Nate's bus. I got up and pulled my shirt down over my stomach before running my hair into a ponytail.
I made my way past sleeping crew to the living room where I spotted a sleeping Nate.
I smiled and quietly walked over, stopping in front of the couch. It took a minute but I decided to crawl onto the couch beside him.
I slid my arm under his neck, the other one over his waist, and bent my leg so my knee was on top of his leg before laying my head down on the couch. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close, and I smiled and snuggled into him.
After a few minutes I fell asleep, his arms feeling more like home than home ever did.

I woke up a little while later and Nate was straddling me, pressing my arms into the arm rest of the couch. I smiled and reached up to kiss him but he shoved me off the couch and onto the floor.
I let out a little scream as I hit the floor and Nate stood up, glancing down at me before picking me up by my arm and tossing me back on the couch.
"Nate you're hurting me!" I yelled before screaming again.
"I hate you! You never loved me! You never loved any of us!" He spat before walking away.
I sat up as soon as he was out of site and wiped my face before rubbing my arm gently.
I got up and grabbed my jacket, pulling it on, before opening the door and leaving.

"What's happened?" Jen asked, rushing forward and putting her arm around my waist, helping me to the couch.
"Nate," was all I said as I sat down, holding my ribs.
"What did that motherfucker do?" She asked and I sighed as a tear slid down my face.
"What's going on?" Jonny asked sleepily, leaning on the wall and grabbing a monster from the fridge.
"Nothing," I said, groaning in pain as I moved a little.
"Kelsey? You alright?" Jonny asked and I nodded but he walked over, squatting down in front of me and taking my hands in his.
"What's going on?" Mike asked, standing in the kitchen area.
"Something's happened to Kelsey," Jonny said and Mike walked over and sat on the couch beside me.
"Brian's still asleep?" I asked, looking around.
"Nope," I heard Brian say from the kitchen and I looked up to see him pouring a drink. He walked over and handed me the drink before sitting on the floor beside Jonny.
"What happened?" Mike asked after a few minutes of silence.
"He had a bad dream is all," I said and Brian scoffed loudly, looking away.
"Kelsey," Jen whispered, placing her hand on my arm, and I flinched away.
"John, turn on the light," Mike said and Jonny got up and switched on the light.
"Take your shirt off," Mike said to me and I shook my head slightly. "Kelsey," Mike whispered warningly and I unbuttoned my shirt, slipping it off and Jen gasped.
"Kelsey! Your arm!" She whispered and I nodded, pulling my shirt back on.
"Kelsey, what did that bastard do to you?" Brain asked and I shook my head again.
"Nothing!" I exclaimed, "he had a bad dream!"
"Ok, I'm tired," Mike sighed, "let's get some sleep and deal with this in the morning," he said and I sighed.
"There is nothing to deal with!" I exclaimed and Jen nodded, rubbing my leg.
"Ok sweetie," she said, "let's all go to bed," she said and I nodded.
"Sounds great," I sighed, standing up and wincing.
"We'll take you to the hospital in the morning to see what's up with your ribs," Jonny said and I nodded.
"Another great idea," I said, holding my lower ribs and walking away.
It was a great pain to get up on my bunk and once I did I couldn't get to sleep.
After a little while I gave up and put on my headphones, going through my music. I decided to listen to Juliet Simms and hit shuffle. Laying back and closing my eyes I listened to End Of The World until I fell asleep.

When I woke up I felt a sharp pain in my side and I cried out in pain.
"Ok! That's it! We're taking you to the hospital," Jen said, walking over and helping me off my bunk.
"Wouldn't it be something if we-" I stopped and whimpered before continuing, "if we both broke our ribs before this damn tour was done," I finished and Jen smiled, helping me into my jacket.
"And they both happened by guys," she added and I nodded, letting out a little groan of pain.
She sat me down on the table and put my boots on, lacing them up before kissing my forehead.
"I'll be right back," she said and I nodded, reaching behind me and grabbing my hat. I put it on with one hand, it hurt too much to use raise the other.
Jen came back a minute later, the guys behind her, and they were all dressed with their jackets on.
Mike helped me off the table and down the stairs where we ran into Nate.
"Kelsey," he called, jogging over, but Jen got in his way.
"You stay the fuck away from her!" Mike shouted as we walked to the car and away from Nate.
"He did nothing wrong," I said but Mike shook his head.
"He hurt you Kels," he said, sitting me down in the car, "in my book that's the worst he could do," he said and I smiled and leaned against the back of the seat as he closed the door.
Brain got in the back beside me, Jonny beside him and we waited a minute for Jen who sat in the passenger seat.
"Sorry, let's go set a record!" She said excitedly and I laughed as the guys passed confused looks.
"She broke her ribs before Christmas when we were technically still on tour and now I broke mine, it's a record of sorts," I explained and they nodded, understanding how crude we really were as Mike started driving.
