*JAIME*

I walked out of the hospital with Laney's hand in my own, interlocking our fingers. It was honestly one of the best feelings in the world. We had all decided to walk out to a diner down the street, since today was an off day for warped Tour today and tomorrow. we had any and all time to get back to the tour before the next show in San Francisco. Half way there I scooped Laney up, making her squeak and hold onto my neck for dear life, I let out a laugh.

“put me down Preciado!” she squeaked again as I hit her tickle spot on the back of her leg. “i hate you.” she glared,

“no you don’t.” I winked.

“yeah your right.” she nodded. “i despise you.” she nodded matter of factually.

“well then Despicable Me then.” I smiled, setting her down in front of the diner , kissing her cheek.

“ohhhh can we watch that movie tonight?” she asked with a squeal in her voice like a 5 year old would have asking for ice cream, basically pleading. “pleeasseeeeee”

“ohhh does this mean sleepover?? pleeeeaasseeeeee?” I asked, trying to mimic her voice.

She just punched my arm, I laughed and held onto my bicep “oww “

“but yes, sleepover... if thats okay.” she smiled shyly up at me. I smiled, taking a step towards her

“absofrigginlutely.” I nodded, my hand under her chin and kissed her gently but it was soon broken off by mike clapping, half way in the door. I looked up and she turned her neck around to look over her shoulder

“come on, get a room guys, lets get a move on now.. i'm hungry.” he said in his whiney voice. I shook my head. Taking her hand in mine once more and slid into the massive 30 person booth that we had gotten.

we got back to the busses around 8 o'clock that night. Laney had fallen asleep while I was carrying her from the Diner, I hopped up onto the bus slowly and set her down in my bunk, pulling the blankets over her. She fidgeted for a moment and then settled her head into my pillow, her breathing slowly becoming more regular. I smiled and headed into the front room, now all we were waiting on was Caity, who had gone with Dane to grab some of Laney's clothes for when she woke up wince we would be on the road all day tomorrow. I changed into my red flannel pants and stripped myself of my shirt. Leaning back against the couch, closing my eyes with my arms crossed on my chest.

I guess I fell asleep like that, because I was woken up by small whimpers and talking coming from one of the bunks, I got up heading over from my spot on the couch, putting my ear up to each of the bunks, then realized it was coming from mine,

“no, Nicka NO!” she whined, how the hell did that prick get out of jail? Let alone into the bus?

I threw open the screen, ready to fight the little fucker but was instantly calmed when she was there alone, just having a night mare. Then she started screaming like a banchee.

“Laney..Laney its alright..” I said slightly panicked, jumping into my bunk but she fought back, hitting my chest with her fists. I pulled her body close to mine, regardless how much she struggled against my arms. “Baby wake up.” I said, having her under me. she opened her eyes looking terrified and scared. Tears came down her face in light streams. “no no, its alright its just me.” I nodded, he terrified eyes became soft crying softly into my bare chest. I sighed and slid under the covers with her, holding her to me once again.

“he was out .. and he came after me..” she choked out. I sighed, listening for a moment, brushing her hair back out of her face quietly letting the soft waves land behind her shoulder.
