I Guess We'll Never Know (adopted by fob)✔

Thirty-Five

I smiled at Jake as he sang the last few notes to our song. "Jake it's getting late. Ty has a doctor appointment in the morning." He nodded and stood up, smiling at me as he left. "It's almost Christmas." I sighed and ran my hands through my greasy hair. "Yeah it is." "We're going on tour again." "I can't leave school again." "I know. I talked to Josh and he said you're able to stay with him." I looked away from him, tears pricking my eyes. "When do you leave?" "On Thursday." I pushed myself off the couch and ran to my room. "Ty!" I shook my head and fell back on my bed. I heard many voices upstairs. I heard Joe's and Andy's then Pete's agitated shouting. "Ty." I shut my eyes and shoved my face into my pillows more. "Tyler please. I don't want to leave knowing you're mad at us." "You left last year for like 3 months. I don't want to go through that again. Especially over Christmas. Is there any more tour times I should know about?" "There is a month tour your birthday month." I felt more tears well up in my eyes. "Aw baby. Don't cry please. I know this is hard for you and trust me this is hard for us as well. Lucky for you, your birthday is the day we come back around and up into Canada. We're doing a home show on the 22nd." I smiled slightly and leaned into Andy's embrace and he kissed my forehead. "Can I sleep with one of you guys each night until you leave? I'm...I'm starting to have nightmares again." "Of course you can. It's almost dinner time, why don't we go upstairs and watch a movie?"

Andy picked me up and carried me upstairs and I stifled a yawn in his shoulder. "Are we okay?" "We're fine." "She wants to sleep with each of us one night until we leave on Thursday." I looked at Andy with wide eyes and he smiled reassuringly. "I think she's old enough to sleep on her own." Andy reached around Patrick and slapped Pete upside the head. "Your daughter is having nightmares again and I wouldn't ne surprised if you're staring in them. Why don't you pull your head out of your ass and start paying attention to your daughter? This band is basically the only family she has and she's too scared to even come near us at times." I stared at Andy in shock, I've never seen him so angry before. He set me on the couch and kissed my cheek. "I'm going to go pick up some food. Taco Bell sound good?" I nodded and looked at Patrick. I felt like crying again, not because of Andy leaving but because the band is fighting because of me. He sat down beside me and pulled me into his lap. I cuddled into his chest and sniffled every once and awhile. "I'm sorry I'm destroying your band." I felt him tense up underneath me and I thought I might've said the wrong thing. He returned to playing with my hair and fingers. "You're not destroying anything Ty. Pete is just one of those people who can't let things go. He'll eventually realize that he's destroying everything he worked so hard for by being a pompous asshole." I closed my eyes and breathed for a few minutes. "Did she fall asleep." "No. She's still awake." I opened my eyes and blinked for a few minutes.

"Dinner's here?" I climbed off Patrick and started for the table. "How about we eat in here?" I looked at Andy unsure. "Won't Pete be....be mad?" He shook his head, his forehead creasing with concern. "If he is, I'll take blame for it. Plus I know how much you've been wanting to see the new Supernatural season and I figured now would be the best time to binge it." I hesitantly sat on the couch and cuddled into Patrick's side. Andy handed me my usual order and I slowly ate, afraid that Pete was going to jump out and smite me with the hand of God. "Ty it's okay trust me. He won't do anything to you."
