a/n: y'all like POV changes? ;)
Awsten POV
"Brandy, wake up!" I said frantically.
She groaned and rolled over, facing away from me.
I shook her awake and picked her up out of the bunk.
She gagged as she stood up and open her eyes.
"Brandy, come here," I said, opening the bus door and leading her outside to the grass.
She threw up a couple times before rubbing her eyes and turning back around to me. "Awsten, what happened?"
"Well, I took you to a bar to make you feel better, and you got really drunk. I didn't have the heart to take you to your bus so I put you in our spare bunk," I explained.
"And now I'm paying the price," she mumbled. "Do you have any coffee?"
"Yeah, you just come in whenever you can," I walked over and kissed her on the forehead before going inside the bus.
I was pouring her coffee as she walked in.
"Thanks," she smiled as I handed her the coffee and some Advil.
She took the Advil and sipped the coffee, sitting down on the couch.
"Thanks so much, Awsten. I don't know what I would have done without you," she said quietly.
"Of course," I laughed, sitting down next to her.
"Hey Brandy," said Geoff, getting out from his bunk.
"Hey!" She smiled.
"Hey, Geoff," I started. "Could you stay with Brandy for a bit? I have to run a few errands."
"Sure," he nodded.
"I'll be back soon, Bran," I laughed.
I left the bus and headed for the As It Is bus.

"Hey Awsten, what's up?" Ben smiled as I walked up to the bus.
"I'm getting Brandy's stuff. She sure as hell isn't staying here tonight," I said in a monotone voice.
He nodded and opened the door for me. I pushed past Patty as I walked in and to the bunks.
"This one's hers," Ben said, pointing to one of the bunks.
I grabbed all of the loose items and put them in the suitcase, zipping it up and leaving the bus.
•
"Here ya go," I said, handing Brandy her suitcase.
"Aww, thanks," she laughed. She took the suitcase and put it in her bunk.
"We're on at 1:00 today," I told her as she walked past me.
She nodded before grabbing a bag and some clothes and going into the bathroom.
She came out a few minutes later wearing grey leggings and a Parx shirt from an old tour.
"Cute," I laughed.

Brandy POV
The guys had just left to warm up for their set and I realized I was left to my own devices. I sat on the couch for a few minutes before falling too far in my thoughts.
I got up and searched their cabinets, only finding cereal, instant ramen and random fruits. I checked the fridge after, once again only seeing orange juice and more fruit.
I frowned as I grabbed my sunglasses and put them on to hide my tear stained eyes. I checked Yelp for the nearest liquor store and headed out of the bus.
•
I got back with almost a hundred dollars worth of cheap alcohol. I knew I would need it for a few days.
I didn't hesitate before taking three shots of the stuff so I could start to feel something.
The guys' Switch was sitting by the TV, and I figured they'd be fine if I used it.
After a few rounds of Mariokart, I got up and took more shots as I couldn't get my mind off of Patty.

Awsten POV
The show was over and it was time to go back to the bus.
"Awsten!" Brandy slurred as we walked in the bus. "You're back!"
"Yeah," I laughed. "What are you doing?"
"I'm just having fun!" She exclaimed. "Want some?" She was pouring vodka into a shot glass.
"I'll pass," I said. "I think you should too, Bran. You seem like you've had enough already."
"Don't worry about me," she shrugged before taking the shot.
"Brandy, you're a mess. Please, lay down in your bunk or something. I'm worried about you."
"Well, don't be," she sighed.
"Brandy, I'm serious. I cant watch you do this to yourself."
She rolled her eyes as I helped her off the couch and over to the bunk.
"Goodnight," I whispered, kissing her cheek. "Just sleep this off and you'll be okay."
I closed the curtain and let out a deep breath.

Brandy POV
"You have to wake up," I heard as I felt myself being shaken awake. "Our set is in fifteen minutes."
"I'm awake," I groaned as I rolled over to face Awsten with a worried look in his eyes.
"Take care of yourself, okay?"
"I'll be okay," I laughed. "Break a leg."
I got out of the bunk as I heard all three guys leave.
I grabbed my phone and sighed when I saw that it was 4:00. How the hell did I sleep that long?
I put one of the instant ramen bowls in the microwave and turned on the TV.
A minute later, I grabbed the bowl out of the microwave, grabbed a fork, and sat back down.
I knew I had a bad hangover, but as soon as I started eating, my stomach instantly flipped. I tried eating more before I ran to the bathroom and threw it up.
I walked back to the couch, throwing away the ramen, as I couldn't dream of eating it.
I laid down, throwing my hands over my face as I let my thoughts take control of me and started sobbing. I shut my eyes, trying to stop the desperate delusions.
•
"You okay?" I heard Awsten ask as the door opened.
"Not really," I cried.
"Come on," he said, grabbing my hand and pulling me up. "We'll cheer you up."
I laughed and rolled my eyes as the guys all sat down and started playing on the Switch.
•
Unfortunately, through all of the Parx boys' attempts in the next few days, I still couldn't shake the negative thoughts and missing someone that I love. I wanted to forget, but I couldn't. It went on and on for days and days and days.
