"Luke, we're here mate. We've got to go inside," Ashton whispered to me as he gently shook my not casted arm.

"Okay," I mumbled sleepily.

"Let me get her. We'll meet you in your hotel room," Michael spoke as he picked her up from my arms.

I carefully get down from bunk and grab my bag full of my medication and other things. I walk off the bus, Calum holding my bag along with Emma's. He must've found it somewhere.

He leads me to my room and unlocks the door, giving me two of the room keys. He kept one for them to use just incase. I set them down on the small dresser and I plop down on the bed, wincing slightly in pain.

"Hey, you need to eat something before you go back to sleep," he told me.

"Not hungry," I mumbled.

"You've got to take your medicine. Eat these crackers and take it, then I'll leave you alone for a couple of hours," Calum spoke throwing the pack at me.

I sat up, ate a few and took my medicine.

"Now give me my kid," I pouted as he smiled.

"Michael?" he spoke as he walked in.

"Uncle Calum, is daddy okay?" I heard her ask.

"Yes, he's okay. Go lay with him sweetpea. We'll be back later."

She crawled on the bed and laid in my arms.

"Be back later," Michael spoke.

"What do you wanna do princess?" I ask her as she messes with my necklace.

"Cuddle and watch a movie," she mumbles.

I grab my computer and put in one of her favorite old movies; Annie. I cover us up the best I can and she cuddles to my chest.

"Daddy, can I tell you something?" she asks me during the movie.

"Anything sweetie, what is it?" I ask her as I rubbed her back.

"I saw a man outside your old room a few days ago. Do you know who he is? Because he told me you did," she spoke curious.

"Did he look scary?" I asked her, already knowing who it is without her having to tell me.

"Yeah, he did. I've seen him before too."

Yep, it's the ass that tried to kill me.

"He's right. I know him, but we aren't friends. But Emma, next time someone comes to you and you don't remember them right away, come tell me or one of your uncles, alright?"

"Okay daddy," she spoke as she returned to the computer screen.

"Luke, wake up."

"Luke, get up."

"What the hell do you want?" I asked them.

"You have to get up, something's wrong with Emma," Michael told me.

I open my eyes and sit up, wincing. Slower next time Luke.

"What do you mean?" I asked them.

"We mean, she's crying and hyperventilating. She won't and almost can't talk to us," Ashton spoke worriedly.

i walk to the closed bathroom door and knock with my non-injured arm.

"Emma, sweetie let me in," I told her.

"Daddy, I'm scared!" she cries.

"Let me in, daddy can help you," I spoke.

She was screaming.

"Someone bust the door down. I'll pay for the replacement," I spoke as Calum runs straight into the door and it busts down.

She was sitting in the corner of the bathroom, shaking and crying her eyes out.

"Baby, hey, calm down. Daddy's here, can you tell me what's wrong?" I asked as I sat in front of her.

"He's here daddy," she cried tugging at her hair.

"Who is baby?"

"The mean man. He's here to get me. You can't let him take me away!" she cried out.

"It's not going to happen. I promise," I spoke as I pulled her in my arms, rocking back and forth.

I look behind me and the boys were watching the whole time.

"It's not going to happen," I mumbled as they nodded.

"Not with us here it won't," Ashton spoke pissed off.

When Ashton is pissed off, it's bad. But when you piss all of us off, you've got hell coming to you.
