Austin's POV:

When I get super nervous I tend to twiddle my thumbs or constantly rub the back of my neck. Currently, I'm basically rubbing the back of my neck raw. Why you may ask? Well I'm sitting in the doctors office with the doctor. He wanted me to hear the results from Holly's tests that they have ran this whole week. I'm really worried it's something really bad that's wrong with her. She hasn't slept all week and when she does she wakes up in a fit of screams.

"She will still have to be on a strong pain killer for her broken ribs. She must be in bed rest for the next week, maybe two until her ribs heal up some more. Our lastest tests reveal that she has insomnia, so she will be prescribed sleep aids for that. And for her night terrors, there isn't anything we can do. Hopefully the insomnia pills will lessen them. She is free to leave today." So she has insomnia from the whole situation and the nightmares? God damn it, of course they have to scar her emotionally and mentally too. I sigh and agree to his demands and start signing papers for her release. It's rushed but we are going to pick the tour back up so she has to put up with us plus more people.

"Am I allowed to go see her now?" He shakes his head yes and I bolt to her room. I hate not being there with her, I want to make sure she is okay. When I enter her room I see her on her phone. Even when she's in the hospital she still looks so beautiful.

"Hey gorgeous." I say with a smile, entering her room. Just being in her presence makes me weak in the knees.

"Hi baby." She says with a soft smile, then looks back at her phone. She looks highly bored, the same as she was a half hours ago before I left.

"I have good news." She looks up at me with pleading eyes. I know how bad she wants out of here. "I just signed your release papers, you get to come home with me. Well home to the bus, we are going to pick tour back up." Her eyes show pure excitement but the bags under her eyes show she hasn't been sleeping. I worry for her, I wish there was something I could do to stop them, or at least help. The best thing I can do there is be there for her right now.

"Finally! I get the fuck out of here! Freedom!" She flails her arms above her head. I don't think I've seen her smile this wide since she's been in here. She's such a goof, and I love it. "Ouch! that hurt!" Her hand immediately grabs for her ribs, her smile is now a wince of pain.

"I'm sorry." I say before kissing her free hand. She calms herself down once the pain subsides.

"It's not your fault, okay? None of it is." She takes my hand in hers and laces our fingers together. It's the simplest gesture but I can't help but fall more and more in love with her.

"You have to be doped up for a while." I blurt out. In response she groans. I know about how much she hates taking pills. She said it makes her feel like a druggie. I pack up her stuff and wait for the okay to leave so then we can pick up her prescriptions, then get back to the bus.

Keirsten's POV:

"No! Not right there you imbecile! Hang it here!" I yell at Alan as he tries to hang up decorations. We are decorating the bus to celebrate Holly being reunited with us. Austin put me in charge, since I can be bossy. His selection was wise.

"Rude." Alan says while fixing the decoration to my liking. Alan's basically my bitch right now, and it's kind of funny. Every time he tries to distract himself by attempting to kiss me, I bite his lips. Not lightly either. I do it playfully though and he just gives me the 'are you fucking serious right now' look.

"Strictly business right now kitten. Everything has to be perfect for her." I give him a quick gentle kiss on the lips, without bitting him this time. Alan huffs at me, then gets back to work. I've missed Holly dearly, and I'll have to be heading back home to Ohio soon, since they are continuing tour. I left Mandi there with our 2 cats, plus Sophie. Thank god that Mandi likes cats or she would have literally killed me. I pace the bus as all the boys are at work, making it look amazing for her. I even bought her a new pillow and fuzzy blanket that's teal, since she will have to be comfy in bed rest. Fronz is outside grilling, he called dibs on that. As for the rest of them, they are all my bitches, just like Alan, until this is finished. Chris L drops the hammer as he tries to nail the sign up saying 'welcome home!' He shurgs, then pulls out his phone and begins to look at stuff.
