"Hunter! Hunter calm down...It's okay, just wake up."

'Wake up...?'

Jayy shook me and I weakly opened my eyes and realized what happened. It had all been a dream. A 'very' bad dream.

But it hadn't been like my normal dreams. There was no fantasy element. It made it hard for me to wake up and it also really made me question the dream.

What made this one different?

Noah was standing on my chest, his paw rested on my nose. The look on his face said a tentative 'Wake up Mommy...'

Jayy's look was similar, but less truly afraid and more concerned.

I moved Noah and hid my face in Jayy's shoulder. He rested his hand on my back and laid down, helping me cuddle into his neck and hide.

"It's okay Hunter. Bad dream?"

"Horrible."

"Poor thing..." I started crying and he wrapped his arms around me fully. "Relax, I'm here now."

We spent a little while like this before I finally calmed down.

I chose not to tell Jayy what my nightmare had been about. It was better that way, especially because I wasn't too sure why the dream had been so different or why I had such a bad feeling about Danny in the first place. It just seemed safer not to tell.

After little while, Jayy had to go get ready for the show. "C'mon Hunter, you gotta come with us!" he said playfully.

I sighed and smirked. "Okay, but only if you do my hair and makeup."

He smiled. "You got it dude," he said in a little kid voice.

"Stop quoting Full House and let's get ready Michelle!" I said, laughing.

Jayy laughed too and I went to where my stuff was. I got and my clothes into the bathroom and got dressed.

I put on a torn black t-shirt with a shiny gold tank top underneath so the tank only showed in the torn parts. Then I put on skinny leather pants and a bullet-casing belt. Finally I put on my fishnet gloves, LIVE bracelet, and my pointed-toed black boots.

After I was dressed, Jayy and I went into the bathroom, leaving the door open so no one got any ideas. He covered the mirror so I couldn't see and did my hair and makeup.

"C'mon Jayy, that's not fair!" I whined.

"Just let me do it," he said, chuckling at my little kid voice.

"But I wanna see!"

"You have no faith in me." He sighed.

After a little while, he finally stopped.

"Alright, you're done. You can see now." He uncovered the mirror and I gasped.

'I look fucking hot!' I thought for basically the first time in my life. Yeah, that came from a chick who hates herself with a passion.

He did 'that' good of a job. Never question Jayy Von Friggin Monroe.

I hugged Jayy and he chuckled and gently hugged me back. "I take it I did a good thing here?"

"Yes!"

He smirked. "Good, now go on so I can get ready."

"Kay!" I went into the living room to find Dahvie and Danny dressed, ready, and watching Spongebob.

"Hey Hunter, how you doin'?" Danny asked.

"Okay, why?"

"I heard you yelling and crying in your sleep. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I guess. Just shaken up from a bad dream, but I'm okay now. Sorry about stealing Jayy..."

"It's cool. As long as he helped, I'm fine."

"Ya sure?"

"Yeah," Danny said calmly.

It really seemed like he didn't care at all.

Maybe I'm touchy about this stuff, but Jayy was messing around a lot with me. I mean, it was never anything big, but he was spending a lot of time with me and not-so-much with Danny, at least that I saw. I know that would've bugged me, if only a little bit, if it was happening with someone I was with.

I don't know why, but it just seemed like Danny was 'too' cool with it. More than a boyfriend should be.

But maybe it was just the bad feeling. Either way, he wasn't mad at me or Jayy, so that's good at least.

Once Jayy was ready, he came out and cuddled Danny whilst we all waited for the bus to stop at the venue.

"Did you eat anything?" Dahvie asked.

"No..." I said softly.

"Are you going to?" I shook my head. "Not hungry?"

"Not really," I said quietly. It seemed like it was working, but...

"'Kay." And he went back to watching TV.

There really wasn't anything wrong like everybody assumes. Every once in a while I just won't be hungry for about a day or two and, if I don't eat whilst I still feel like this, I'll be back on track afterwards and everything will be normal.

'People actually understand for once...These guys actually' get 'that it's no big deal.'

Maybe it seems like I was overexcited, but this was the first time that people didn't question why I wasn't eating. It felt so much better to just be able to say I wasn't hungry and have that be it.

Eventually, the bus stopped at the venue and we got out and started to set up.

I didn't exactly know what they wanted me to do, so I went with them and started to help. When I got no objections, I figured I was cool and I helped them set up their stuff.

When we were done with that, they did a soundcheck and Danny's friend showed up with his car.

I listened and sort of hung back, not knowing what to do. Everyone else seemed to know exactly what was going on. It felt weird for me not to know.

When it seemed like it wasn't really necessary for me to do anything specific, I went on the bus and grabbed my notebook and a pen. I then hid in a corner where I wouldn't be found and opened my notebook up to one of my songs.

I hummed the tune, mentally singing the words.

After a little while, I got more comfortable, maybe a little 'too' comfortable, and started to let myself actually sing.

"I'm not writin' this song for you pretty little bitches

Without a care in the world while our lives are in stitches.

I really don't care what the fuck you do,

Just leave us alone, Oh and fuck you too,"

Cause I'm not writin this song for the girls with broken hearts,

This song's for you if your world's broken apart,"

Cause we don't care, what you say to us, anymore.

We've been through enough, even without you-"

I heard someone nearby and immediately quieted down and waited to see what was going on.

All of my muscles were tensed. I knew it was probably nothing, but I didn't like not knowing who was there. So I sat, waiting and listening, until I finally heard a voice.

>*_A/N_*<

Hey guys, sorry about the overly-obvious and annoying plot twist, but it was too early to have Danny get caught. It's coming soon though. After all, he deserved to get caught in real life and he deserves to get caught now. (Is obviously pissed at Danny for hurting one of the people who helps so many others, myself included). Either way, don't kill me yet or I can't finish the story! XD As always, thank you guys for reading and feel free to yell at me for being a fuck up in the comments below. XD Joking, but feel free to let me know if you liked it or if you really do think I'm a fuck up! Either way, thank you!
