Nobody's Hero

5: Goodbye Agony

Ashley's POV:

I found the girl Andy was talking to- Sam.

I knew I had to bring her back to the bus, for multiple reasons. Andy was flipping out about her, the rest of the guys were worried, I'm worried, and we're all confused. Why would someone's own father treat them like hers did? And why did Sam want to go back to it? 

We kept walking but I stopped her before we walked inside and leant against the side of the bus. She looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to speak.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Technically you just did but sure, what is it?" She replied.

"Why were you trying to get back there so desperately?" I asked quietly. Her eyes widened before she answered quickly-

"No- no reason..." she stuttered.

"Sam. Please- tell me. I need to know. I just want to help..." I spoke quietly. She nodded her head slowly before responding, tears forming in her eyes.

"My father, my mother, and my sister, they all hurt me... emotionally, physically, and any other way they can. If it will hurt me even the slightest amount, they take joy in it. I have no freedom, I only have a phone so they can track me and I don't exactly have the excuse of being in school anymore so I have to deal with them 24/7. I can't move out because I can't get a job to afford a place or food for that matter and they would find me. I'm stuck and have learnt to live with it." She replied, the tears spilling from her eyes. I brought her in fro s hug without even thinking.

I'm not letting her go back. I can't.

"Here, let's go inside." I whispered into her ear before leading her onto the bus. Looking around I notice all the guys were here, even Andy who looked pained when he saw the tears in Sam's face. I led her over to an empty seat where she sat down and wiped the tears off her face.

"Andy, can I fall to you outside for a minute?" I asked. He nodded and stood up, following me outside the bus.

"What's up?" He asked.

  "Sam. She's abused physically and emotionally, I can't let her go back there. I want to bring her with us for the rest of tour at least as then we can decide what to do with her. But please, let her stay." I spoke quickly, watching him for some sort of reaction. He was surprised to hear what she went through but agreed that we couldn't send her back. Now we just need Sam to agree.  

Sam's POV:

Ashley and Andy left me alone on the bus with Jake, Jinxx, and CC. It was awkward but CC jumped up and pulled out a bunch of snacks and drinks, turning on the tv. He aske dif I liked horror movies which I replied yes to and put on some scary movie I've never seen. The awkwardness went away as we just hung out and watched the movie. After what couldn't have been more than 15 minutes Andy and Ashley walked back inside and Andy paused the movie.

"Hey!" CC and I yelled at the same time and started laughing. 

"Sam. We have to ask you something." Ashely said. I raised an eyebrow at them questioningly, waiting for the question.

"We want you to come on tour with us? It isn't safe at your so called home, and we don't want you going back their. What do you say?" Andy asked. Wait- they want me to go on tour with them? What the hell?

"I can't just go on tour with you guys... I mean id love to but my parents wouldn't let me and I'd just be in the way." I replied. It really would be a dream come true but I would just ruin tour for them. I'd been in their way the whole time and probably have fans hate me and think I was going to change the band.

"Well don't tell them. They don't deserve to know where you are, they're assholes. But you wouldn't be in the way. Please come." Ashley said while Andy, CC, and Jake nodded their heads and Jinxx just watched to see what would happen.

"Are you guys sure?" I asked and they all nodded, except for Jinxx who didn't move.

"Then yes! I'll go on tour with you!" I yelled. I can't believe I'm going on tour with my favorite band. 

Wait, what about Jayden?
