When I woke, Jon was already up and dressed. I looked at sleepily wiping the sleep out of my eyes. He was texting somebody. I look at my phone showing 6 am. What less than 3 hours sleep no wonder I feel like crap. 

"Get up J. We are going out. We are going to get you away from the pressure of yesterday"

"Where are we going? We have a show tomorrow".

" We will be back for that" he replied looking at his phone as it beeped for a message. 

"Seriously where are we going?".

" You will find out later. So get dressed". I reluctantly get out of my warm cocoon called my bed. 

"Why are we getting up so early?".

" Stop complaining. Stop sounding like a kid whining". I get out of bed and fold arms in front of me with an annoyed look on my face. "When you do that you look like Danny? Especially with no shirt on". I look at myself and realise I just have my PJ pants on and no t-shirt. Oh, damn it. Why did I not put a shirt last night? I can't believe I did that. I pull my arms down and move away to put on a clean shirt. " Don't hide from it. You do look good J. A lot better than last year. Don't be scared to show it. You have the model look, you look very handsome. Don't be scared to show it. No one cares about your scar and you can always find ways of hiding it". 

"I can't stop thinking that. I think that people are looking at me. You heard the guy from record company yesterday, he thinks I take drugs because of my body now and my change of personality. I don't do that and you guys would kill me".

" We know you don't. Joe sorted it out with him after we left yesterday". 

I sighed and carried getting ready. 

"You need an overnight bag too J". 

" Why? Where are you dumping me?" I moaned 

"Nowhere. We are going on a day trip to the South West," He said with a huge grin. But I didn't cotton on to what he was doing. 

In no time we were at the train station and boarded a train. I still don't know where we are going. Where are we going?. After a couple of hours sleeping, I did something I haven't done in a long time. I went on Facebook live. I glance over to make sure my brother was still asleep.

'Help me I have been kidnapped by my own brother. I have no idea where we are going only that we are on a train. (I replied with a grin). I know I haven't been here for ages doing a live video but help me I don't know where I am going. (I look over at him. I move my phone to show the train, view out of the window and Jon sleeping. But suddenly he opens an eye.)

"What are you doing?"

"Having some fun"

'Help me ' (I switch off the video.)

"Really what are you doing?"

"Like I said having some fun" I was reading the messages off my phone. Because I was still on there he took my phone and looked at it. As he read the messages for the feed and played back the video. He shook his head. Press live video and recorded his own.

'Really don't listen to him guys. He isn't kidnapped by me. We are on a little trip for him. He has been through so much recently. So I am taking him on a little journey. He will know where we are in the end. It's a secret'. (
He had the both of us in the shot as he was talking like we did on the Amtrak train all those years ago. I glared at him took my phone back. )

'Whatever Jon. I may not be back guys I don't know where we will end up'

'Really J. We will back tomorrow' (I switch it off again).

I look at him annoyed and then turned over facing the window again and close my eyes. I could hear him sigh as I closed my eyes.
