Emma's POV

The bus hit a bump an jolted me awake. Everything was blurry but I managed to get down from Ashton's bunk. I started towards the back room but was stopped when a hand grabbed my ankle.

My hand clasped over my mouth and I resisted the urge to scream.

"Emma calm down its me." Michael's voice whispered.

"What are you doing up?"

"The bump woke me up, I can't get back to sleep," I answered.

He groaned and stood up slowly, towering over me.

"C'mon, let's go hang out in the back."

I followed slowly and sat on the couch across from him.

A silence followed this, but not an awkward silence, a strange, comforting silence. My mind wandered before he broke the silence.

"How are you?"

"I'm, I'm good."

He raised his eyebrows, seeing straight through my lies.

"Let me repeat myself, how are you?"

"I'm not okay, at all."

He shifted, "alright, come here," he said opening his arms. I rose from my spot and sat next to him, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest.

"Now, Emma. Tell Dr. Michael what's bothering you," he said with a slight smile.

"I don't know what's really wrong, I've just been really upset lately. I lost Ashton and you guys, that was traumatic, but I have you guys back. I shouldn't still be upset about that, it's done and over with. But hates getting worse, it never bothered me before but it's getting unbearable. I'm getting told to slit my throat and death threats and I don't know what I'm doing or what I did wrong." I choked out and my voice cracked. He pulled me in closer and I cried into his shirt.

"Emma, I know it sucks, it really does. It happens to us every single day, and we all hate it, but there's nothing we can change. There's always going to be someone who doesn't like you. The moment that you realize this, is a good one."

I sniffled and wiped my eyes. "You're right Mike, I just need to not let it get to me. Thanks, by the way."

"Anytime Emma, anytime."
