Broken

Chapter Six

Mike's Point Of View:

I woke up extremely early on the tour bus. It was parked for the now and I got up to see if Chester was okay as Bob started up the bus. He's been having so many nightmares lately, I'm worried sick. I arrive to his bunk to notice he's not there. Panic surges through me and I bolted through the front door of the bus, informing Bob not to leave and began frantically searching every corner. My phone rings and I pick it up, praying that it's Chester.

"Hello?" I quickly say.

"Mike? It's Brad, where are you and Chester?" He asked before yawning, clearly just waking up.

"I don't know where Chester is, I'm searching for him right now. Have the bus ready, I'll call when I find him." I breath out, my voice beginning to shake from worry. I hung up without another word. I searched for another hour before hearing a voice in the distance yelling.

"Stop! Please, leave me alone!" The voice cried out. Chester.

"Ches?!" I yelled out with teary eyes, needing him in my arms. I was wreaked with worry and I began running in the direction the voice was. I must've circled the area over a dozen times, frantically searching every inch of land until I finally stumbled upon a body curled up on the ground asleep.

Thankfully it was my sleeping boyfriend having another nightmare, not actually being hurt. Tears of relief flowed down my face before I wiped it away, laughing softly at myself for being so concerned. He was okay and that's all that mattered. I woke him up and was surprised when he said he didn't have to go to the hospital. I caved into his words and simply called the bus. They picked us up and I was greeted by Brad when the door opened.

"Oh thank god," He sighed deeply before engulfing Chester into a tight hug. Chester probably doesn't believe it, but we all love him and are concerned for him. "What happened?!"

"I-I'm sorry," Chester gasped, his eyes misty. He thinks we're mad at him, I can see it in his facial features and body language. "I-I went for a w-walk and I was hearing these... N-never mind. It doesn't matter."

"Ches-" I couldn't get any further before he pried himself away from Brad and entered the bus. We went in after him to see he was already in the bathroom. I sighed deeply and looked to Brad. "What are we gonna do?"

"I don't know, Mike, but we should talk about your relationship with him." He told me, making my eyes wide. Was he not supporting us anymore?"

"What do you mean?" I ask, pushing him to elaborate.

"We need to tell the rest of the guys. They'll support you two but they need to know nevertheless," He smiled, making me relax a little bit. I knew the other guys wouldn't think any differently of us but I know they wouldn't believe it unless we proved it so I'll need Chester on this one. I walked up to the bathroom door and knocked on it.

"Y-yeah?" Chester's muffled voice stuttered. He sounded like he was crying.

"Ches? Are you okay?" I ask carefully, not wanting to hit a nerve.

"I'm fine," He said quietly, I could sense his frown but I didn't want to push him.

"Can you come out? Brad said we should tell the others about us and I want you to be there with me," I smiled as he opened the door, eyes red. I pulled him into a warm hug and kissed his head, thankful he's in my care. I pull away and look into his eyes, wiping away any left over tears gently with my thumb. His eyes begin returning to normal and I lead him to the back where the others are barely awake.

"Morning, Mike. Hey, Chaz," Phoenix yawned when he saw us, not fazed by the fact that Chester and I were holding hands.

"What's up, guys?" Joe asked, a little bit more awake than the others. Rob remained silent like usual.

"Chester and I actually have something to tell you guys," I smiled, happy to get to inform someone that Chester was mine.

"Well, don't leave us hanging! Go on, tell us!" Phoenix grinned, probably guessing what we have to say. It's not really that big of a shock.

"Chester and I are together, like romantically," I heard Chester giggle beside me. Phoenix looked excited while Joe looked mildly confused and Rob disbelieving. I leaned over and planted a soft kiss on Chester's lips. My hands let go of his and sat on his hips, moving to his butt. I gripped his ass, pulling him closer to me.

"Okay, okay! You guys can stop now! We get it!" Brad yelped, sounding slightly disturbed. I broke the kiss with Chester and let go of him, seeing a smile spread wide across his lips.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! I've been waiting, you fuckers! It's about time! Brad and I would always talk about it, we could tell by the way you always looked at him! We knew that if you guys didn't hook up, you'd rape him or something!" Phoenix giggled.

"Why does everyone say I'd rape him?!" I groan before chuckling. "Although I'd-"

"Mike!" Brad snapped, covering his ears. We all let out laughter, even Chester.

"I'm happy for you guys," Rob smiled, pulling Chester into a hug. I'd be jealous but I understand how huggable Chester is.

"I'm happy you guys told us! It'd make me sad to think you guys would have to try and hide it from us," Joe brightly grinned. Brad was right, they wouldn't judge us at all.

"Don't worry, we just got together yesterday," I laughed, pleased with everyone's reactions.

"So I assume you two will be rooming together for sure now?" Phoenix smirked, elbowing me in the stomach. I rolled my eyes, I always made them allow me to room with Chester no matter what.
