It's Our Stage

Chapter 9

Montanna's POV

We were in the loft and were all settled. Me and Luke were snuggled together as were Arianna and Ashton

"Goodnight everyone!" I said as I drifted to sleep.

Aiden's POV

We woke up to Montanna screaming and thrashing around.

"MONTANNA WHAT'S WRONG?!" Luke panicked.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!! JUST DON'T TOUCH ME!!" She was crying and kicking.

And then she woke up.

"Montanna?" Arianna asked, concerned.

Mike was staring at her as if he knew what the nightmare was about

"I'm fine.." She got up and ran out of the room.

"MONTANNA!!" Luke ran after her, concerned.

"What the hell!!" I said looking around.

"She's been... Having those nightmares for a while.." Mike finally spoke up.

"What? How come you never told us?" Arianna asked, as she stood up. She looked pretty mad.

"It's about something that, you can't know, happened." He said staring at his hands. He stood up as well.

"Well, then go fucking help her! Because obviously we can't!" She yelled, pointing at the exit. She looked like she'd jump at him at any moment.

"Ari, calm down-" I started, but he cut me off.

"Don't fucking tell me to calm down, Aiden! She's somewhere in the house probably fucking flipping shit, and we can't help her because we don't know what the fuck is happening!" Yeah, she's pretty pissed off by now. "Don't stand there! Go fucking help her!" she yelled towards Mike.

He opened his mouth as though he would retort back, just as forcefully as she did.

"Mike. Just go." I said, walking over to him and stopping him from taking. The last thing we need is fighting. We've already made it this far with the band. We can't just stop. Especially when we're right about to tour. He balled up his fists and clenched his jaw shut. After a few seconds, he finally left.

I turned back around and Ashton had his arms around my sister.

"Hey, man can I.." I gestured to the girl he was holding.

"Yeah." He nodded and let go of her and backed up a few steps. I took her into my arms.

I looked down at her and it's not that she was upset and almost in tears because of what happened. She didn't even look mad. She had a blank expression that even I couldn't read.

"Do you need something to drink?" I asked quietly. She just shook her head in response.

"Sorry I flipped my shit, guys." she finally spoke after a few seconds.

"Yeah. You'll know that she's really pissed off when she constantly drops the 'F-Bomb.'" I said. That triggered a small giggle from her lips.

"That's the only swear I don't normally use, anyway." She added. "You know that were going to have to find Luke, right? He's not gonna be able to do much in a family situation. Especially, one that Aiden and I don't now about." We all nodded in agreement.

"Luke?" Calum asked, looking around a few corners.

"Wait. I can't believe I'm just realizing this now, but.. You think they'd be in their studio?" I asked, not givng away too much information about the house.
