Chris' POV:
Im sitting on my bed, staring at my phone. It's 11:30 and he still hasn't called me. He promised he would when they were on the road.
"Come on, Johnnie!" I scream at my phone, "just call me already!" I threw my phone at the wall in anger. Rolling off my bed, I went to get my phone to make sure it didn't break. Restarting it, there was still no call from Johnnie. I fell back onto my bed in tears, wondering why he hadn't called. Being me, I was always worry about the worst possible thing. Thoughts like what if he didn't make it onto the bus or what if the bus crashed as he tried calling me. These thoughts would stick with me all the time. I was shaking with anxiety. When I looked at the clock, it said 12:14.
"I give up..." I mumbled to myself as I pulled the covers over my head, crying and shaking.

I heard a noise from the main floor, so I assumed it was Johnnie. Finally, I said to myself. I stopped crying and fell right asleep.

Johnnies POV:
We were on the road for not even an hour when the guys started getting wild. Being the youngest on the bus, I can't drink, but I don't really care. I love watching everyone make a fool of themselves when they get drunk of their asses. I check my phone for the time, 11:30. I opened up twitter and tweeted a few fans before closing it and putting my phone back in my pocket. I feel like theres something I have to do, I just can't remember what. The bus stops hard.

"Woah!" screams Bryan, "why the hell are we stopping?" The driver yells back to us and says "We're passing an indoor trampoline place and you guys aren't all over it? Ok, I guess I'll just keep going..."
"No no no no stop!" screams Damon, "I WANNA GO IN THE BOUNCY BUILDING!!!" We all stood up and Damon just books it out the door and to the front of the building.
"I swear Damon," I yell to him as me, Bryan, and Cyr walk over, "you're worse than my girlfriend!" Bryan and Cyr both look at me like I killed something.
"What? Why are you guys looking at me so weird?"
"Did you call Chris..?" said Cyr nervously, "because I didn't hear you talking to her when you go on the bus..." My stomach hit the floor.
"Shit!" I screamed as I ran back to the bus to get my phone. There's 5 texts from her that I didn't get because I turned my ringer off. My phone read 12:20. The guys were already in the building, so I ran to catch up. Is it too late to call her, I thought. I texted her back instead of calling her because if she was asleep, I didn't want to wake her up.

After playing in the building for an hour, we were 10 minutes from home when my phone rang. The number is blocked.
"Hello?" I say with a shaky, tired voice.
"Hello, Johnnie," said a man with a deep voice, "I'm sure she is perfectly fine." Then he hung up.
"Who was that?" asked Cyr.
"I honestly have no clue, but we need to get home now." I replied. Cyr looked at me puzzled as my breathing got heavier.
"Johnnie..." he said walking closer to me. I broke into tears. "Johnnie, calm down, what did that person say?"
"He- he said that-" I can't talk through tears, "-that she's perfectly fine.."
"Who's fine? Chris? I'm sure she is. It must have been her dad calling to make sure you knew."
"But I've met her dad," I said cautiously, "and he doesn't sound like that.." Cyr walked to the front of the bus and began talking to the driver.
"We're going straight to Johnnie's today. Get this bus as fast as you can get it."
