Onyx's POV -

"Hey Onyx come in, come in!" Jinxx says happily motioning me in his apartment. 

"Hi Jinxx!" I say as I walk through the door. 

"That's CC" Jinxx says pointing at the guy looking through the fridge. 

"That's Andy" he says pointing to the tallest person in the room. 

"Jake is over there" he says pointing to the guys messing with a guitar. 

"And finally we have Ashley" and right as Jinxx said Ashley, he whipped his head around to meet my gaze. He winked at me with his beautiful brown eyes as he smirked at me.

"Excuse me Jinxx, but I need to run to the ladies room" I say weaving my way through the boys. I can practically feel Ashley's eyes on me. 

The thing is, I have seen those eyes way to many times before. 

Those are the eyes of the Plague Doctor. 

I lean against the sink and hold my head in my hands. 

"Hey Onyx, You ok?" I hear Jinxx question from the other side of the door. 

"Yeah" I say as I go to the door and open it. 

"I think i'm gonna take a walk" I say in a nervous tone. At this point Ashley's eyes are glued back on me. 

"Are you ok?" Jinxx questions in a quiet voice 

"Oh yeah. I just need to think" I say, starting for the door.

I walk out of the apartment building and onto the street. I hear someone clear their throat behind me. I look over my shoulder to see Ashley staring back at me. 

"What are you going here?" I question as I turn around. 

"I wanted to make sure you were ok" he says. 

"Oh and I got you this" he says as he pulls a single white rose from behind his back. I look up at him with a horrified face. 

"What?" he questions. 

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I yell making him jump a little. "First you start with the mask, then the red rose, now another god damn rose!" I yell again at a very confused Ashley. 

"What mask? What red rose?" he questions back. 

"Oh my god! Follow me" I say immediately regretting saying anything. I'm so stupid.

We make it back to my apartment.

"Ok i'm sorry for yelling at you, I honestly think i'm going crazy" I say as I sit down on the couch next to him. 

"Why do you say you going crazy?" he asks as I get up and go and get the mask from the studio.

For the next hour I explain what has been happening with 'Plague Doctor', my paranoia, and my insomnia. And how Jinxx has helped me through most of it.

By now i'm crying and Ashley is hugging me. 

"I'm sorry" he says as he rubs small circles into my back. 

"Oh your fine, I guess I just have to learn to live with my problems" I say wiping my tears away. 

"Well you know what we are going on warped tour soon, and I can probably get my tour manager to let you come with us" Ashley says making my eyes light up. 

"No, no, I can't intrude like that" I say back getting sad again. 

"Well to bad your coming, we have an extra bunk anyways, and you can get away from your plague doctor for a while" Ashley says hugging me again, making me smile. 

"Oh Ash i'm so happy, I could kiss you!" I squeak hugging him back with a giant smile plastered on my face. 

"I could go for a kiss right now" he says smirking. 

"Don't get you hopes up playboy, it's just a saying" I say giggling at him.

Ashley's POV -

"Hey guys guess who is going on warped with us!" I say walking into Jinxx's apartment to find the guys sitting in the living room staring at the TV. 

"Who?" CC asks while keeping his gaze on the TV. 

"Onyx" I say, making them all quickly turn their heads towards me. 

"How? Did you ask John?" Andy and Jinxx ask at the same time. 

"Yep" I say smirking to myself.

Onyx's POV -

What if Plague Doctor isn't a real person and it is all in my head. 

The lights start to flicker and I hear thunder boom in the distance. 

Soon enough its pouring down rain outside and guess who is back standing outside in the rain on the sidewalk. Plague Doctor. He starts to walk towards me 

"No. No. No! Ahh!" I scream as the figure runs towards me.

I to quickly back myself up but I run into someone and they quickly pick me up bridal style.

"Hey Onyx calm down, your safe" I hear Ash coo. I look out the window again and see that Plague Doctor is still taping on my window, just creepily watching Ash and I. 

"A-Ash he is still there" I stutter pointing at the window. Ash looks over at the window. 

"Onyx no one is there" Ash says looking back down at me. That's it, its confirmed, I'm crazy! 

I bury my face in Ash's chest as he holds me.
