"PETE! WHAT THE HELL MAN?" I felt tears rise to my eyes and fall down my cheeks. "I'm gonna go stay with Ty and Josh." I went to my bunk, grabbing my items. I quickly got off the bus and sprinted to TØP's bus. I knocked, biting my lip to stop myself from crying again. My cheek still stung. Josh opened the bus door and his face went from confused to worried. "Ty honey what happened?" "Pete and I were arguing and he slapped me. C-Can I stay with you guys for a little while?" He nodded, stepping back to let me on. "Hey Ty, what's wrong." Josh told Aj what happened, and he pulled me into a bear hug. "It's okay." I felt more tears rise to my eyes. "We argue all the time, but he's never hit me before." "What were you arguing about?" "He was yelling at me for being mean to Patrick and not responding to his girlfriend." Josh rubbed my back while I told them what had happened, before and after the concert.

"Tyler! Can you tell the drivers to go ahead and get a headstart toward New Jersey?!" Tyler, who sat up front sometimes, told the bus driver and I felt the bus start to move. "I texted Pat and Bren to tell them what was going on and we have you. You can stay with us the rest of tour." I smiled at Josh gratefully. "Is my cheek bruised?" Aj nodded, biting his lip. "Dammit. Do any if you guys have any concealer? I used the rest of mine last week." Aj got up, running to the back if the bus and came back, with a few things of concealer. "I stole some from Max. He has different pigments." I went through and grabbed the ones I used. "We're going to pick dinner up on the way."

"Ty, wake up." I jolted awake and looked around. Josh stood next to me, looking unsure what to do. "Are you okay?" I looked up at Josh hesitantly, expecting to see some type of monster, instead I see his worried eyes stare back at me. "You hungry?" My stomach grumbled back in response. "Starving." I sat up on the couch, looking at the Wendy's that was handed to me. "Is that okay?" I nodded, digging in instantly. "Where are we now?" "We just crossed the border into New Jersey. Tomorrow we'll play, the day after is a free day, then we're in New York for a show. We have another 4 shows after." I shivered when I thought about going back to Pete's place. "He won't lay a hand on you. If you have to stay with us until you're comfortable, so be it." "I really appreciate it. Sure I've been hit for being bad but never had I been slapped like that, let alone in the face. It just scared me I guess." Honestly, it terrified me. "So I know for a fact, the show we're playing here is in MCR's home town. We're going to have a meet up with the band." Aj and I exchanged an excited look. "A chance to meet the beginning of emo? Fuck yeah!" I leaned across the couch, to high five the older boy. I heard Tyler snickering in the front. "Are we sleeping in a hotel tonight?" Josh nodded and I smiled at Aj. "I call dibs with Ty!" I giggled, covering my mouth with my hand. "If you really want to be up for my Gravity Falls marathon."
He let out an inhuman squeal. "WE'RE SO STAYING UP!"
