Left You Behind

Frankie's Pov:

"You were never loved!" Rian's voice boomed with venom as he wrapped his hand tightly around my throat.

"Rian stop!" I choked. He just laughed as the single lightbulb flickered above us.

"When will you learn?" Cat's voice sneered as she slowly strutted her way over next to Rian. "You were a mistake. That's why we didn't stop you because we don't care. We hoped you would die painfully slow. But no..." She pulled a gun from the waistband of her pants and cocked it before pressing the barrel against the center of my forehead. "...you have us do it quickly. You don't deserve it this quick but it has to be done." Rian chuckled.

"Goodbye Frankie Dawson!"

I shot up screaming as my hand immediately felt my forehead. Nothing.

"What happened?" Lukas and Sam yelled as they rushed into the room. Scarlet stood in the doorway in shock.

"Nightmares." I sighed as I laid back against the pillows.

"Same one?" Scarlet asked.

"No." I replied as I placed my forearm over my eyes. "Rian he was ch..choking me and Cat pulled a gun on me. They spat such awful words."

"It's okay dear. It was a nightmare and nothing more." Sam reassured me as he ran his fingers through my hair.

"Yeah. That's all they'll ever be. Nightmares." I sighed as I sat up. "I'm taking a shower. We leave in a few hours." I said as all emotion drained from my body. I closed the bathroom door and leaned against the sink as stared at the girl in the mirror. Beads of sweat lingered on my forehead as my hair was matted together. My once bright blue eyes now held a dull grey tint to them.

I quickly whimpered as I broke my trance from the mirror. I'll never be the same again. This is my hell and I can never escape. My life isn't a fairytale. Nobody can come and wave a wand around and magically make my life great again.

Reality and fantasy are two worlds that never mix. You can either live in the shit reality of you can cast away your life as you live in the fantasy world; the fake world.

Scarlet's Pov:

We all watched in fear as she closed the bathroom door.

"Guys, I'm really worried for her. I don't think this tour will help with the constant nightmares." I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair.

"We're all worried for her. Maybe Rian will notice something and step in over the next 2 and a half months." Sam sighed.

"I don't know what we're going to do." Lukas admitted sadly. "We need to come up with a system that hopefully will keep her from cracking... Guys these nightmares tear her apart. What if they beat her on tour?" I could see tears fill his eyes.

He always did have the closest relationship with him. They were each other's shadows.

"We'll figure this out as time progresses. For now just keep an eye on her. Lets go make sure everything is packed. She's right. We leave soon." I sighed and left her room and walked into mine. This was gonna be one hell of a tour.

Rian's Pov:

"Woo! Tour time once again!" Jack yelled as he ran through the house.

"Jack shut up." I groaned as I ran some gel through my hair and placed the container in my suitcase.

"Bus is here!" Alex yelled from downstairs. I zipped my bag up and turned my bedroom light out before I went out to the bus.

"Bunks are already chosen since you guys are sharing with Rememberance. Me and the crew will be in the rv/trailer. Okay?" John called out.

I went into the bunk alley and found my bunk was in the middle to the left and across the hallway from me was the drummer for Rememberance.

"Yo. You forget this on the kitchen counter." Zach said as he handed me a small polaroid photo and tac.

"Thanks." I whispered as I looked at the photo. It was of Me and Cat on our sister Frankie's 6th birthday. It was taken exactly 2 weeks before she ran away with nothing more than a few clothes and snacks.

That's what's gonna bother me the most this tour is that the other bands drummer is also named Frankie. She's gonna be a constant reminder of my sister. Is she still alive or did something happen to her? If she is, did she discover who she was or is she trapped in the state constantly asking herself who she is as a person?

"You alright dude." Alex asked as he climbed into his bunk under where Frankie will sleep.

"Yeah. Just reminising." I sighed before I tacked the photo to the top of my bunk.

"It'll be okay dude. One day you guys will bump into each other and all good things will happen." Jack pushed past me into the second set of bunks and climbed into the top one to the right.

"Trust Alex. He's smart to know." Jack commented. "But seriously dude. We're all here for you no matter what happens."

"Thanks guys. I'll be in the front because Rememberance's house is a few houses down from moms so I'm gonna pop in."
