When Danny finally woke up,  he wasn't sure where he was. He was afraid. What if those guys had come back? What if they were planning on killing him now?

He looked around and let out a sigh of relief at the familiar surroundings.

He was at Andy's. He barely remember asking them to call Andy before he blacked out.

"You're awake" a voice said from somewhere beside me.

"What happened?" He asked softly, trying to prop himself up against the pillow and headboard.

Andy sighed softly and made his way to the bed, taking a spot next to me. "You passed out." He began "A paramedic called and asked me if I knew you. I said yes. Then they asked if I'd come get you, so I did and brought you back here." He informed the singer.

Danny nodded simply. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak as his eyes fell on the picture on the nightstand.

"Shit, I meant to hide that, sorry Danny" he said as he reached for the picture.

Danny shook his head and took the picture, feeling the tears stinging the corner of his eyes. "They're all gone." He mumbled as he stared at the picture his my hands.

"They're all gone and I don't know what to do anymore" danny cried, clutching the frame tight to his chest

"They're all gone and I don't know what to do anymore" danny cried, clutching the frame tight to his chest.

"You stay here and let us help you." Andy began, slipping an arm around his waist "we're your family too. We love you and we're gonna see you through this. I promise." He said.

And that's when Danny saw it. Andy was crying too. He'd been so wrapped up in his feelings, in his pain that he hadn't paid much attention to anything or anyone else.

Danny quietly wrapped an arm around Andy, pulling him into a tight hug.

The two remained silent, except for the occasional sniffle. No words were needed. The two were heart broken, and no amount of words would be able to change that.

After a few moments, Danny was the first to speak up. "I can't believe they're all gone." He began. "It doesn't make sense and it's not fare" he cried.

Andy nodded his head in agreement. He couldn't figure out who would want to hurt those guys. They were some of the nicest guys anyone would want to meet. Who hated them enough to do something like this?

"I'm just trying to figure out who did this and why." Andy said softly.

Danny nodded, taking a deep breath in an attempt to regain at least some composure.

"I can't think of anyone...." my voice trailed off for a minute and I opened my mouth to speak but decided against it.

"What?" Andy asked.

I shook my head "l was thinking, maybe it was those guys who seem to keep following me around?" I said with a shrug. "I don't know who they are, but they seem to know me..."

"Dude, you're in a band, a lot of people know you." Andy added.

I sighed and I heard my phone ringing from my pocket. I fished it out and swallowed hard when I saw Bex's name on my phone.

"It's Ben's sister" I said softly as I answered the phone.

"Hello?" I said.

"Danny?! Danny I'm so glad we finally got you!" Bex began. "Mom and I have been trying for hours to reach you." She said.

"Sorry, I haven't felt much like talking to anyone." I started. "I didn't mean to ignore your calls though."

"It's okay, we were just worried about you. Are you okay? Where are you? Are you alone?"

I couldn't help but smile at her concerns. Ben's family have always accepted me as one of their own. It's been that way pretty much from the start.

"I'm as good as I can be. I'm not alone, Andy came and got me so I'm with him now. He didn't want me to be alone either." I said softly, feeling the tears stinging the corner of my eyes again.

"I'm so sorry, danny. I know how much you loved Ben. I can't imagine what this is doing to you..." her voice trailed off for a moment before she cleared her throat and continued "we're on the next flight out so we should be there in the next couple of days. Then we'll talk about all the arrangements and stuff." She said, her voice cracking at her words.

"Okay, that sounds good. Cameron's parents are coming in tomorrow, Sam's the next day along with James'" I informed her.

"Alright, well we will see you then. Love you."

"Love you too" I replied as we ended the call.

"You okay?" Andy asked.

I shook my head and the tears streamed down my cheeks. I wasn't okay and I never would be again.
