A few days later
I was now back home and pretty happy. Well apart from the fact it takes me an hour to get upstairs and another one back down.

I was laying in bed with Kayla, Harley and the rest of DR were sitting on the floor, when I thought I'd tell them. "Okay guys. I wrote and recorded a solo song. I didn't want to do anything till I told you but yeah. I have it." I explained.

"Well... can we hear it?" Harley asked.

"Um sure." I got the file up on my phone and played it since I was connected to my speakers. I hid my face in Kayla's arm, not wanting to see their reactions, but when the song finished it was silent.

"You can come out from hiding now." I removed my face from Kayla's arm and they were all grinning.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"You hate it don't you."

"No we love it. We just hate the fact of you leaving us."

"I would never do that." Yet I never thought that would be a lie...

"I love you so much." Kayla whispered kissing my forehead.

"I love you too." I replied kissing her lips. I would've made out with her but 1) the guys were here and 2) I was in so much pain.

"How about when you're better, you could come on tour?"

"I would love too."

Two months later
So I was all better. I could walk and even run (kinda) and was allowed to take a plane. So we did. I joined the tour, I didn't perform the whole set but did sing the piano songs. I also played piano for some of the songs Harley sang.

We were on the bus and I was laying on top of Harley when the bus stopped. I sat up and looked over at Brendon who was just as confused as I was. He got up and went to speak to the bus driver. When he came back he sat down and carried on scrolling through his phone. "What's going on?" I asked.

"The bus broke down. We're gonna be stuck for a while." He replied.

"Are we gonna make it?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. I'm gonna call Kayla." I went into the bunks, sat on mine, then called Kayla. "Hey baby."

"Hey babe. What's up?" She asked.

"The bus has broken down so we're gonna be stuck here for a while." I explained

"Oh. Are you still gonna make it?"

"Brendon said we would. But you know he's Brendon." I heard her laugh from the other end and Jack talking. "Hey can I FaceTime you?"

"Yeah."

Time skip
We got to the Ohio on time so I got off the bus and went backstage. We didn't have any time so we had to soundcheck extremely quickly then go backstage and get ready. This time I was doing the full set and I was pretty nervous but everyone reassured me that we'd do good.

Harley wrote a new song and we had been practicing it for months. It was a piano duet between us and it was honestly beautiful. It was called 'all we do' and it was quite. I loved it because I listen to a lot of sad songs but this was a bit emotional.

I was sat on the couch backstage when three people came up to me. I stood up and smiled. "Hi guys." I said happily. "You guys must be Crimson Midnight?"

"Y-yeah." The girl stuttered.

"Addi, Max and Jack?" I pointed to each of them and they nodded. "That's awesome. I'm Ava. H get over here!" Harley jogged over and I saw Max's eyes light up. "And this is Harley."

"I'm Addi. I'm the bassist and lead singer. This is Max he's the drummer and that's Jack he's the guitarist. Max is a huge fan."

"That's awesome. Hey Jack show me some songs."

"I'll see if I can find Ethan and Miles. Come on."

The reason we met up with this band was because 1) they're our age and 2) they're pretty good. I was sent one of their covers of our songs and it was honestly better than the original.

"Ethan, Miles this is Addi and Max. Addi plays bass and max plays drums. They're the ones I invited." I explained. "I need to go find Kayla but these guys can show you." I patted Ethan's back and he choked on his water. "Sorry. Bye!"

Time skip
We had just finished the set and we sang All We Do. I was now crying and being hugged by Kayla. "It's okay." She cooed cradling me in her arms. "It's just a song."

"It got to real." I muttered wiping away my tears. "I always feel like I failed so when I sang that I nearly broke down. I feel like a failure. I may have perfect friends, family and fans but I still feel like a failure."

To make things worse my phone started ringing. I looked at it and it was Jax. "I'll leave you to answer it." She left the room and I picked up.

"Hi Jax." I said as I picked up.

"Um... hey." He replied sniffling.

"What's wrong?"

"Dad's in hospital." I stayed silent as the tears rolled down my cheeks. "He has some pretty bad injuries and he-he could die."

"I-I'll see if I can come."

"Ava I'm really sorry."

"It's not your fault. I gotta go. Bye." I hung up and sat down. It hit me and I started sobbing again.

"Hey Ava we go-" Harley came in and he looked angry but when he saw me his expression changed completely. "What happened?" He asked, his voice softening. He sat next to me and pulled me into a hug.

"My dad. He's in hospital. He got hurt in battle." I mentioned.

"You have to go see him. You'll regret it. Trust me." I looked at him confused then he turned so he didn't have to look at me. I put my hand on his cheek and pulled his face towards me.

"Is this about your mum?" He nodded and pulled me into a hug again.

"We should go find Brendon." We stood up and Harley wiped my tears with his thumb.

"It's gonna be okay." We walked out of the room and found Brendon.

"Um... Dad?"

"Yeah princess?" He replied

"My dad's in the hospital. He got badly wounded in the war. I wanna go see him since he might not make it." I explained. "But I don't wanna go alone. I want you to come with me."

"I'll see when the next flight is. Okay?"

"Thanks Dad." He walked over to me and engulfed me in a hug.

"He'll be okay."

"I hope so."
