Brendon's POV:
"Brendon! In here." Tyler yelled across the waiting room, making a few people turn their heads. I was hoping I wouldn't get noticed, and thankfully I hadn't yet.
I made my way across the waiting room and followed Tyler down a small hallway and into a bright room.
"Oh Natalie, are you okay? I said as I grabbed her into a hug.
"I'm fine dad." I smiled at her use of the word, as she didn't use it often. I understood why, this was all still kind of new, and it was just so natural hearing someone call me Brendon, I wasn't quite used to 'Dad'.
"Can I talked to Brendon," Josh and Tyler nodded at Natalie, "alone?"
"Oh, yeah. Of course." Tyler said as he pulled Josh out of the room quickly.
"What's wrong?" I asked, when her expression went from happy to emotionless.
"You thought I cut myself." she said bluntly.
"What?" I asked, absolutely puzzled.
"Earlier. When Tyler brought me to the bus. When you found us, you immediately looked at my wrists." she said, her tone still emotionless.
"Oh shit. Yes, for a second, I did. But I only thought that because of the way Tyler worded it. He said that you 'hurt yourself'. I didn't even think you would do that either, so I was really confused. Anyways, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed." I sputtered, I didn't want her to think that I didn't trust her or anything.
"Okay. Thanks Brendad." she giggled at her new nickname she had come up with.
"Let's get back to the tour bus, so you can rest. You'll be in that boot a while." I said, poking her boot gently as to not hurt her.

the next day

Natalie's POV:
I woke up to the smell of coffee, which instantly made me get up. I strapped up my boot and wobbled to the small kitchen section of the bus, finding a very tired looking Brendon making coffee.
"Mornin'." I said, doing a subtle salute thing that I had an odd habit of doing.
"Morning child." Brendon grumbled. Brendon was not really Brendon before his coffee. If he didn't have it it would drive him crazy. (wow im so funny)
The other guys groggily stumbled into the kitchen one by one throughout the morning, each taking a cup of coffee.
"We have a show tonight Nat, do you think you'll be able to stand through the whole thing, or do you want to stay on the bus?" Brendon asked as he sipped his second cup of coffee.
"I can grab a chair out of the dressing room so you can still watch if you want to." Zack pointed out, which was a good idea.
"Sure, thanks Zack." I smiled brightly at him.
"No problem, that way I can also keep an eye on you, make sure you're safe." Zack patted my back lightly before walking off.
A/N: i know this chapter is only like half of my normal chapters, but i had a reallllyyyy good idea that i havent seen anyone do yet, which will hopefully make up for the short chapter. I will probably start on it later tonight or tomorrow. also i have a lot of homework to do while im gone from school so im probably going to fail 😎
