Just Another Day (Adopted By Josh Dun)

I woke to the sound of my alarm screeching for me to wake up. A month passed and I have finished my Junior year with amazing grades. "Kam! Come on. We need to catch our flight!" I promised the boys that I would go with them to Ohio for the summer while the recorded. Gabe is staying with his biological sister for the summer and I didn't want to be alone with no one. "I'm coming!" I pushed myself off my bed and got dressed into some comfy clothes. I left my waist length hair down and put my tennis shoes on. My finished tattoo sleeve showed a little from the jacket I am wearing.

Pete had promised to pay for a few tattoos and he ended up paying for my whole sleeve to be done. I couldn't be happier. It looks amazing and I love it. I was even allowed to get my cartilage pierced and I stopped smoking after a little self control. I am really happy with my life and how it's turning out.

I ran downstairs and helped the boys get the rest of the luggage into the Uber. Once we finished, I tied up Sammy and we drove off to the airport. We were able to get Sammy passed security and got him on the plane. We had started to put him through service dog training for my increasing anxiety. "Excuse me ma'am but is your dog going to be okay right there?" The flight attendant pointed to the tight space Sammy was curled up in. "I'm pretty sure he'll be fine. The seat next to me is taken right?" She shook her head and smiled at me. "As long as he doesn't cause a scene, he can have the seat next to you." I thanked her quietly and picked Sammy up. "Come on big boy." He licked my cheek and sat in the seat next to me. "It's only an 8 hour flight. We'll be okay bud." I petted his head, trying to calm my nerves.

"Kam put your earbuds in. It's going to be a long flight and you loom extremely nervous." I nodded and stuck my ear buds in my ears. I started to play some Pierce The Veil, laying my head back and letting the music consume me. Sammy nudged mh hand with his nose, signaling for me to take an ear bud out. I turned to see a flight attendant staring at me. "Can I get you a drink?" "A coke thank you." She grabbed a can from her cart and handed it to me. "Does your dog need anything?" Sammy looked at me hopefully. "Do you have an water?" She nodded and handed me a smal water bottle and a cup. "Thank you."

I gave Sammy some water and laid back to relax. "Kam are you gonna work this summer?" I nodded and opened my eyes to look at Josh. Tyler is asleep against the window and Josh looks a little uncomfortable. "I was thinking I could work at Hot Topic. Vicky said if I was ever in the area and needed a job, she'll take me." Josh nodded and looked over at Sammy. "He is such a good pup." I smiled and patted him on the head. He looked up at me in concern, seeing nothing wrong he laid his head on my leg again. "I really do appreciate you paying for service lessons. I could tell my anxiety is getting worse." Josh leaned over and patted my arm. "You're my little sister. You need help and I will do absolutely anything to get your help. If you need a doctor in Australia, we're flying our happy asses down there to get you that doctor." I smiled at his sincerity.

"I'm just happy I could be back in Ohio this summer. I needed to get out of Vancouver. I was being suffocated by the constant reminder that I fucked up." I looked down at my hands and played with my fingers. "I didn't realize that I could've destroyed their tight family. It was almost too late." "Kam, you are a kid. Kids make mistakes. You have no idea how sad you were being on that show. It destroyed your tight relationship with Ethan and it caused you unwanted heartache." I chuckled and looked up at Josh. "I plan to make amends with Ethan."

We finally landed in Ohio at 2 PM. "We're going to stay in a small apartment that will fit us all. You have your own room and bathroom." I nodded and tugged Sammy back to walk with us. He got a little excited and he tried running off. "Just a few minutes bud. We're almost there." We reached the complex and I followed Josh upstairs to our temporary apartment. "We'll set our stuff inside and we can go to the mall for some food." I looked down at Sammy and he wagges his tail happily. "Sure. We'll get Sammy some food while we're there." He barked happily and tugged me out of the room. "Alright lets go." We walked the 4 blocks to the mall, getting stopped for autographs and pictures. "Are you guys going to do a meet and greet while we're here?" "Only if you come with." I shrugged and watched their faces lift into bright smiles. "Fine, but the moment someone asks why I stopped Supernatural, I'll stop talking." They nodded their heads to my warning. We got food from Subway and the workers gave me some meat and water for Sammy. He laid by my feet eating while we ate.

"Are you going to do another tattoo sleeve?" I looked down where at my left arm. I had taken off my jacket and now I'm just wearing a tank top. "Maybe after college. I'll just stick with the one now." "Are you guys writing with anyone?" "Panic and Paramore I think." We continued small talk whilst we ate. "I'm going to go see if Vicky will take me for this summer. I'll meet you guys back here." Seeing as it was is 4 we agreed to just walk around the mall. "Come on bud. We're going to see an old friend." I walked the short distance to Hot Topic and was greeted by the smell of plastic and vanilla. "Is that you Kam?" I smiled at Vicky. "It's me. I'm staying the summer and I wondered if I could have a job for the time being?" She nodded and beckoned for me to follow her into her office. "Whose this cutie?" "His name is Sam. He's a service dog in training." She looked at me curiously. "After moving, I developed severe anxiety and it's only getting worse. Josh had paid for classes so Sammy could help my panic attacks."

We talked for a little while and I walked out her office. "Kim you remember Kam." I winced slightly. "A little too vividly." I felt Sammy rub on my leg to get my attention. "Doing so well I see. You look like a walking graffiti wall." I winced again and Sammy started to whine. "Kim stop it." She rolled her eyes and continued to stare at me. "Look Kim, I'm sorry that I was trying something new. I'm sorry you couldn't handle it. I only wish the best for you, but can you please not make me feel shittier? Sammy is going to flip his shit if I have a panic attack." She stepped back and Sammy licked my hand for reassurance. "I'm okay baby." I bent down and pet his ears to calm him. "Let's go find Josh and Tyler." Vicky told me to be there tomorrow at 11 and Sammy could come as long as he didn't cause mayhem.

I met up with them in Box Lunch. I saw familiar bright purple hair. "Ethan." He didn't hear me and continued on his work. "Did you see anyone you recoginzed?" I nodded. "I got the job and Kim is still working there. She stopped giving me shit after Sammy started to whine. He could sense I was freaking out." That attracted attention from my older brother. "What're you doing here?" I didn't sound rude, just shocked. "I'm visting while they write. I was hoping we could hang out sometime. I realize you only wanted me to be there and not leave. And I do hope that we could push aside the whole ordeal. I miss my spunky gay brother." He chuckled and opened his arms for a hug. "Don't worry about Kim. She's only salty cause we kicked her out. Sam caught her stealing."
