"Fall out boy frontman Patrick Stump attacked lead guitarist Joe Trohman on stage yesterday. The band was on their fifth show of their current save rock and roll tour when Stump froze on stage, here is video footage of the incident." The screen went on to show a video of Patrick lunging at Joe, luckily the camera never panned to the big screen to get a look at the yellow eyes.

Patrick flipped off the TV deciding he had enough. He was admitted to the hospital the night before for head injuries due to Pete's bass attack. He didn't really remember much that happened, whether that was due to Vaughn or the blunt force trauma he clearly experienced he wasn't sure. None of the guys had come in since he'd woken up which was quite surprising. As if on queue Joe walked in.

"Oh my God you're awake!" He exclaimed surprised, he smiled cautiously.

"Yea, what happened?" Joe looked surprised by that response.

"Vaughn, he paid everyone a little visit on stage." Joe explained.

"I had guessed as much by the video everyone took of m- him attacking you." Patrick paused for a moment. "I'm so sorry Joe." Patrick said dropping his head.

"'Trick it wasn't your fault." Joe said comfortingly, Patrick glanced at him and noticed for the first time since he woke up that there weren't any bruises.

"Ok, Joe with a few words to the press this has all been written off as a skit for YBC that went a little too far." Pete said walking in abruptly. He looks away from Joe only now realizing Patrick is awake.

"Trick! You're awake!" Pete exclaimed before rushing over to him. Patrick tensed at the sudden outburst and prepared for the near tackle, letting out a loud grunt once Pete reached him.

"Yep, I'm awake." He replied through laughter.

"I was worried for a while. I thought that I may have hit you too hard, uh... sorry about that by the way." Patrick just waved it off.

"You needed to stop him, it was smart." This made Pete smile before realizing he was crushing Patrick, he gently got up.

"Patrick! how are you feeling?" Asked Andy in a relatively loud voice. He had walked in during Pete and Patrick's interaction. Patrick shifted his gaze to him. There was an amused smile playing at the other mans lips.

"Like I got hit over the head with a Bass" he explained placing a hand on his swollen head. This gained a laugh from the group which made Patrick smile. A fourth man walked in dressed in the classic doctor attire, a white lab coat over a blue button up and a dark brown tie that matched his dress pants, in his hand he held a clip board and a pen, his stethoscope hung loosely around his neck. He raised his eyes from the clipboard as another man followed dressed in scrubs pulling along a blood pressure machine.

"Its nice to see you awake Mr. Stump it's quite a hit you took there." Patrick laughed lightly, slightly embarassed. "I am Dr. Alnacki, do you mind if we just double check your vitals now that you're awake?" Patrick nodded with a smile on his face. The man in scrubs crossed the room, placing the blood pressure cuff on Patrick's bicep before turning on the pump and placing the small pulse oximeter on the opposite hand.

"So, I have already spoken to your bandmates here and due to patient confidentiality and my own self respect none of the information regarding the real situation on stage will be shared. I offer this courtesy to all my patients not only by law but because I respect their wishes." Patrick nodded as the nurse finally released the cuff squeezing his arm and unclamped the oximeter.

"Thank you for that. I have a feeling you have something else to say." Patrick said, rubbing his arm where the cuff had tightened.

"I would like you to start taking medication for your condition, it won't specifically target your DID but it will help with some of the causes of the personalities. I would like to prescribe a low dose of Xanax, take it when you're feeling increasingly anxious it should help keep the more protective personas from responding to the distress. Also if you dont mind before you leave I would like to get a detailed description of your personalities." Dr. Alnacki explained.
