Chapter Twenty-Five

*July 19th, 2017-Detroit, Michigan*

Zach left in a hurry to find the other boys so they could try and reason with me. I told him only a thousand and one times my mind was made up, but he wouldn't leave this alone.

Before the boys come to talk to me I decided to tell David and Jon I would be leaving otur. I was so terrified, but Ted had already told me if they had a problem I just needed to call him. At least my therapist was backing me up, but somehow David and Jon are still going to mad.

I open the door slowly when they finally knock, preparing myself for the fight sure to come.

"You wanted to speak with us?" David inquires.

"Yes, it'll be quick. I know you're busy."

Jon furthers, "Is everything good?'

"With recent events, I hope you can understand that tour isn't good for me anymore."

David demands, "Are you quitting?"

"My therapist and I have come to a conclusion that this isn't a healthy environment for me." I reply.

"Are you serious? You're quitting halfway through tour, how could you be so selfish?" David questions.

I arch my eyebrow, is he serious? Does this tour really come before my physical and mental health?

"It's not selfish for me to want to be better mentally and physically."

"Absolutely, but David is just concerned that the merch stand is going to fall into chaos now." John claims.

"Mel knows it just as good as I do, and maybe if you put Aspen or Atallia to work the merch stand would be even smoother."

"My daughters don't need to work. What are we going to do?"

"Not my problem after tomorrow's show, do what you have to but I am resigning."

"This is ridiculous." David snipes.

I roll my eyes and calmly wait for them to leave. David's face grows red in frustration and I can't help but laugh a little. He won't intimidate me anymore.

"Okay, Grace we wish you the best. It ha been a pleasure working with you, good luck in your future endeavors." Jon concludes.

He shakes my head and pulls a confused David with him. I wave to him and let out a breath I had been holding.

"Okay two down, many more to go." I mumble to myself.

I leave the door unlocked and go to the bed waiting for the boys. This is gonna suck...

"Oh sister dear?" Daniel calls.

I look up from the bed to see only Daniel. Strange.

"Where is everyone?"

He shrugs, "We all want to say bye to you individually."

Oh god, this is going to make this harder.

"I'm not leaving until tomorrow after the show, we can say bye later." I try to put off.

"Tomorrow could get crazy, we have radio interviews and the show. I just want to make sure I say everything I can to you."

He lays down next to me on the bed and forces me to look at him, because I'm already tearing up.

"I wish I didn't have to go, you know?"

"I understand, all I want for you is to be happy and healthy." Daniel smiles.

I feel a weight lifted off my shoulder and I hug him tight. Daniel has always been the most optimistic and kind of the boys.
