Two Weeks Later

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brynn's POV

~~~~~~~~~~

when i agreed to coming on tour, i didnt know selecting bunk was going to be a free for all. this morning was complete havoc i of course ended up on the couch in the back of the bus. Iris got the top bunk above Jamie and Louis'. the other members of One Direction claimed the other bunks and i got stuckin the back. its about 1 am and all i've done is stare out the back window at the various landmarks that pass us by on our way into Washington state.

The bus started turning and we ended up in a camping lot. I guess the driver needs some sleep. I watched as the other bus pulled in behind us. I wonder if anyone's awake.

I heard a groan come from a bunk as curly hair made it's appearance from behind the curtain. his eyes flicked around and landed on me.

'What time is it?' he asked quite loudly.

I held up one finger and turned back to face the window. I heard him get up and move towards me. he sat at a comfortable distance as the rest of the band has done since the day me and iris left them alone in my room.

'You don't talk to guys very much, do you?' He asked softly.

i shook my head.

'Why not? i always hear you talking with iris.' he said wrinkling his eye brows.

'Its complicated.' i said pulling my knees up to my chest.

'Why?' he asked scooting closer. My head snapped into his direction and he immeadiately backed away.

'I dont feel safe.' i whispered.

And it was true. ever since Luke came back i havent been okay. Ive had constant flashbacks of the week i spent with them. I've stopped eating and ive distanced myself from everyone but iris. Its like im being pulled into my dads trap. the small broken me is returning. My face is losing its color and my smile is becoming increasingly fake as the days go on.

Harry stayed silent.

the sounds of the others could be heard as their deep breathing echoed throughout the large bus.

i sighed and ran my fingers through my hair until it got to my waist. im sitting on my hair, great. i pulled it out and combed the ends with my fingers. i felt harry's eyes on me the whole time, watching each and every movement i made. I twirled the ends as my green eyes slowly rose to meet his.

'Now that I think about it, you look a lot like Louis.' he said flipping his bedhead.

'Oh I look like a man?' I joked as his lips formed a smile.

'Yeah, totally.' he said sarcastically. I giggled before a soft silence fell over us. I laid my head against the window, watching the empty highway.

'So, where are you from?' he asked innocently.

I stiffened. 'New York, then Boston.' I mumbled pulling my blanket closer to my body. I drew circles over the thin scars that were left uncovered by my shorts.

'Why did you leave New York?' he asked baffled.

'I didn't need to be there anymore.' I said sharply. I hadn't gotten any sleep in a while and I haven't taken my medication.

'Why did you leave boston?'

'I found Louis.'

'You found him, or he found you?'

'He found me.' I mumbled softly. I felt his eyes on my as I continued to twirl my hair in one hand and trace circles with the other. my eyelids were suddenly getting heavy so I slowly leaned back onto my pillow.

'What happened in New York?' He said worriedly.

'Too much shit.' I mumbled as sleep slowly overwhelmed me.

~*~

I woke up at around 12. Jamie and Iris were the only ones still on the bus. apparently Louis and the others were already inside IHOP, where we were having brunch.

I stood up and pulled out my change of clothes from my bag, which consisted of a sweater and cropped leggings. I changed in the small bathroom that was on the bus and slipped on my moccasins. I hopped off the bus with a sigh.

I took a breath of fresh air before opening the glass door to enter the restaurant. the smell of pancakes greeted me and my stomach growled with hunger. I haven't eaten in three days.

'Brynn!' I turned and saw everyone (excluding Luke) waving me over. Iris and I sat at the end of the table with Jamie next to her and Louis next to me.

A waitress arrived a few seconds after me as Iris was telling me about her terrible nights sleep. little did she know I had nightmares the whole night.

The waitress brought our drinks and place them out. I thanked iris for ordering me chocolate milk. the waitress left and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu.

'- looks unhealthy. she didn't look like that when we first arrived.' I heard Luke whisper to Calum. I felt their eyes on my as I looked over the menu. I felt Harry look over to me. three pairs of eyes watching my every movement.

The waitress returned and started taking our orders. Finally it came to me.

'I'll have five pancakes and two pieces of bacon, please.' Luke choked on his drink.

Louis nudged me an I laughed. 'I love my pancakes.'

Our food arrived soon after and we ate in a small silence. I finished my food before everyone else and iris laughed at their shocked faces.

Finally everyone was finished so we paid the bill and got ready to leave.

'I have to pee so I'll meet y'all on the bus.' I turned and walked to the bathroom.

The bathroom was empty, so I leaves up against the sink and closed my eyes. I breathed a little bit. I ran my fingers through my hair and opened my eyes. I screamed and turned around.

'Luke!' I shrieked.

'I know what your doing.'

Well, shit.
