(I know this is a change but I'm gonna start writing Alex instead of dad. But Halo will say Dad. Let me know if you want it to stay the same.) (Edited)
"Frank! Frank! Frank!" Max, Alan, Jack, Alex, Ray, and Chris chanted. Frank was chugging a carton of milk. I made a face of disgust. "What you don't like milk?" Brendon asked walking over to me. I shook my head. "Not by itself it's nasty" I said. Brendon laughed, "I learn knew things about you everyday" he smiled. I shrugged, "I learn new things about a lot of people everyday. Just today I learned Frank can chug a carton of milk" I said then headed for the kitchen.
"Tonight, I'll make you feel beautiful once again" I mumbled and sang at the same time. I was looking for something to munch on, I tend to do this when I get bored. I sighed, I'm gonna get fat if I keep doing this.
I walked over to the couch and sat down next to Matt. "Hey Matt?" He turned to look at me, "yeah?" "Where's Josh?" He shrugged, "check our apartments." I nodded and left our room.
I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. A few seconds later Josh opened the door. "Hey Halo, what's shaken bacon?" Josh was leaning against the door frame. I raised an eyebrow, "please don't say that again. I wanted to see what you were doing cause I'm bored" I stated.
He opened his door more, "I'm playing guitar for a bit, wanna join me?" I shrugged and walked in. He followed and closed the door behind him. "Can you play guitar? If not I can teach you" he said as he sat in the middle of the living room. He reached over and grabbed his guitar.
"Yeah, I'm not very good though" I said and he shrugged. "You can play, that better then people who don't even try." I nodded and he handed me his guitar. "Play something," Josh looked at me expectingly.
"What, now?!" He nodded. "What do I play?" I looked down at the guitar. "What do you want to play? Play something and I'll sing. I sat down criss cross, across from him.
I pulled out my phone and looked for the cords I needed. "Actually, Josh do you guys carry the guitar cord for your songs?" I asked turning off my phone and placing it next to me. Josh stood up, "which song?" I looked up at him, "Cold Night."
Josh went to his room and soon appeared with a folder. He sat criss-cross and started to flip through the folder. He silently flipped through the note book till he found the song.
"Here you go" Josh slid the book in front of me. I thanked him then looked the sheet over. I started to play then Josh started to sing.
"It was a cold night, we laid with each other just to stay warm." I smiled as I listened to Josh sing. This is a special moment. Most special moments you don't realize are special till they're over.
We finished the song. "That was amazing!! We should do this more often!!" Josh had a big smile on his face. "What about after tour?" He shrugged. "Call me and I'll be over the next second." I smiled then handed Josh his guitar back.
"Wanna go do something?" I shrugged, "what do you have in mind?" Josh smiled.

"It wasn't even my fault!"Josh yelled, I laughed. "Sure, that's what they all say" Josh shoved me to the side a bit. I playfully rolled my eyes, "are you calling me a liar?" I smirked, "I'm not calling you a truther!!!!"
"You know what?!" Josh shoved his ice-cream cone on my face getting it all over my nose. I gasped, "how could you?" I asked pretending to be hurt. "It was easy, I just shoved it on your face" he shrugged.
"Oh, you mean like this?" I wiped my ice cream all over the front of his shirt then used a clean part of his shirt to clean my face. "That's it! You better run shorty!!" I quickly threw away my ice cream then booked it.
"Halo!!" I looked back for a second to see him running after me. "Josh! You started it!!" I shouted back at him. I kept running till I felt arms wrap around my waist.
"Josh put me down!!!" I tried to get out of his arms but failed miserably. He put me over his shoulder and headed for the car. "Help! Stranger Danger!!!!" I yelled trying not to laugh.
A few people started to stare. "She's kidding!" Josh laughed nervously, "Halo stop your gonna get me arrested!" He viciously whispered. I laughed a bit. "Aww your getting ice cream on my pants!!" I complained. "Ha serves you right!"
"You're evil" I squirmed trying to get out of his grip. "Can you please let me down? I won't put ice cream on you anymore" I said hoping he'd give in. "Fine, but you you need to shut up and behave" I stiffened at the sentence but quickly shook myself out of it.
"You okay?" "Just peachy, now put me down" I said adding a small laugh. He put me down and I looked at the car. I smirked, "I'll race you, winner get candy, loser had to buy it." Josh looked down at me, "deal."
I smiled, "and GO!!" I took off running. "Not fair!!" Josh ran after me and surprise surprise, I won. "I won I won!! Yes I like Kit-Kats, Snickers bars, Skittles, Hershey's, and uh, um," Josh raised an eyebrow. "Any year now Halo." I shrugged, "ring pops? No- well yes I like them but not something I want at the movement. Oh! Hot Cheetos, I know they're not candy but I'd accept a bag of them." Josh rolled his eyes playfully, "get in the car."

I woke up from a nightmare. I felt arms wrapped around me and started to panic. Calm down, maybe it's just Alex. I grabbed his hand but there wasn't a tattoo. I panicked again and shoved the arms off me and fell on the floor. I backed away and tried to relax my breathing.
"Halo?" A figure sat up reached over and turned on the light. "J-Josh?" I asked even though I could see it was him. "Halo are you okay?" Josh got out of bed and walked over to me. "Y-yeah it, it was just a bad dream. Just a-a bad dream. I'm okay" I think I was trying to reassure myself more then I was him.
"Want to talk about it?" Josh sat down in front of me. I shook my head no, I can't. I felt tears start to fall and I wiped them. "Halo, come here." I took a second before crawling over to Josh. I leaned into his side and he rubbed circles into my back.
"I know you said you don't want to talk about it, but maybe, maybe that's what you need. We can talk. You talk, I'll listen, and this can stay between you and me. I know, it hard but, trying never hurt anyone." I looked up at Josh and he looked down at me.
"Okay" I leaned away from Josh and wiped my tears. "How do I start?" Josh shrugged. "Just talk, what's bothering you? Start with that" I nodded.
"A while ago, um, this thing happened, and I sometimes get nightmares. I've been trying to get over it but, it's really hard." I talked with Josh all night and he gave me advice. There was crying and hugging and more crying. It was the first time I talked about it and I'm a bit relived I did. After, Josh played guitar for me till I fell asleep.
