"Riley." I hear. I try to open my eyes but I'm so tired. "What happened to you?" They say. I open my eyes with all the strength I have left and see corbyn kneeling down in front of me. "I got hurt." I said. "Who hurt you?" He asked. My head is pounding and I'm so tired and delirious that I could barely talk. "Mom." I said as I close my eyes, unable to keep them opened any longer. "Your mom did this to you?" He asked. I nod a little. "Do you want us to take you home?" I hear a different voice say. I open my eyes and see the rest of the guys. "I'm not allowed back at home." I said, weakly. But then I realized my mom took Jenna. "Jenna." I said as I close my eyes again. "Who's Jenna?" I heard jack ask. "That's her sister." Corbyn said. He remembered. "My mom......took her." I said as I got weaker and weaker. "Okay, maybe we should get you to the hospital or something." Jonah said. "No, I'm fine. We need to save Jenna." I said. I feel like I'm about to pass out any minute now. "Do you want to stay in a hotel with us tonight?" Corbyn asked me. I nod. "Okay. I'm gonna help you up and we can get in the bus and go, okay?" He asked. I groan a little bit, letting him know I understand. I can barely move. He grabs both my arms and pulls me up. I'm too weak to stand. I almost fall but Corbyn catches me. "Try to use your feet, Riley." He said. "I....can't." I said, weakly. My eyes are almost closed when I see flashbacks of my mom grabbing my sister and throwing her into the back of her car. I black out after that.
"Riley." I hear. I love a little bit, stretching out my legs. "Are you awake?" I hear. I open my eyes and see corbyn. "Hey." He said with a little smile. I look around and see that I'm in the hospital. I'm hooked up to machines and I have an iv in me. I see the boys asleep on the chair things. "You feeling better?" Corbyn asked. I realize he's holding my hand. "Yeah." I said. I feel my face start throbbing. "Good." He said. "Wha- what time is it?" I asked,, stuttering a bit. "It's 1:00AM." Corbyn said. Then I remember my mom took Jenna. "Can we leave?" I asked as I sat up quickly. I got all dizzy. "No, not yet. The doctor needs to give you a pill and then you can leave. "A pill for what?" I asked. "A pill to help you sleep tonight. He said your face with hurt really bad. But it'll help." Corbyn said. I nod. "Why would your mom do this to you?" Corbyn asked. "Because she's an alcoholic. She's been hurting me ever since my dad left when I was 10. That was 11 years ago." I said. "Why Don't you just move out? You're 21 now." He said. "It's not that simple, corbyn. I'm not Jenna's legal guardian so I can't take her with me. I can't leave her with that monster." I said. "I understand." He said. Then, the doctor walks in. "Good, you're up. How are you feeling?" He asked me. "Good." I said. "That's good." He said walking towards me. "Your face must be throbbing." He said. "It is." I said. "Okay. Heres these pills. They may make you loopy and tired but it'll help your face." He said. He hands me the two pills and a cup of water. I pick up the cup and put the pills in my mouth. My hand shakes as I take a sip of my water. "And you have a concussion. Take these pills every night for as long as you're feeling dizzy." The doctor said. Concussion?! "Okay." I said. He hands me the bottle of pills. "There. Now sign these papers and you're free to go." He said. "Thank you, sir." Corbyn said. "Anytime. My daughter loves you guys." The doctor said. Corbyn smiles as he walks out. Wow. I forgot he was famous for a second. I feel the pill starting to kick in as I sigh these papers to leave the hospital. Corbyn Wales up the boys as I finish. "Are we leaving?" Daniel asked. "Yeah. As soon as Riley gets dressed." Corbyn said. I look down and realize I'm in a hospital gown. "Need help to the bathroom?" Corbyn asked. I nod. I swing my legs over the side of the bed and place my feet on the cold floor. Corbyn grabs my hands and helps me stand up. We walk to the bathroom and he gives me my clothes. "We'll wait out here. Call us if you need help or if you fall down." He said. I nod as he closes the door. He's so sweet. I change into my tight and sweaty clothes from the concert. It's so uncomfortable, especially since I'm so tired and just want to go to bed. I walk out of the bathroom and all the boys stand up. "Okay. Eben and Jon are at the hotel waiting for us. Let's get out of here. I hate hospitals." Zach said. "Okay. We're leaving." Jonah said. I wonder how I got here. I think I passed out before. We walk outside to the tour bus. Corbyn helps me into the bus and I sit down on the couch. "Do you want to borrow some of my clothes? Those look really uncomfortable." He said. It's like he read my mind. I nod. "Okay. I'll be right back." He said. I'm freezing. I look out the window as the bus starts moving. Tears start to form in my eyes as I think about Jenna. I squeeze my eyes and try not to cry. I feel someone sit next to me. I turn and see Jonah. "What's the matter?" He asked me. "Nothing." I said. He notices I'm shivering. "Everything's gonna be okay." He said. I look at him. "You're safe with us." He said. A tear falls down my face and I give him a hug. It lasts for a little while too. We stop hugging and I wipe my tears. "We're at the hotel so you can just change in there." Corbyn said as he comes out from the other room with clothes in his hand for me. I nod and we all get out of the car. "I'm so tired!" Zach groaned. We all walk into the hotel, get the key at the counter, and go up the elevator. The boys start harmonizing and it's so soothing. When we reach our floor, we all walk out and down the hallway to our room. Daniel opens the door and we see John and Eben sleeping. Daniel puts his finger to his lips, telling us to be quiet. Jack and Zach look at each other, smile, and start running into the room. They jump on John and ebens bed. "Wake up!" Jack said. They wake up and start hitting them with pillows. I laugh. Jenna would love this. "What the hell. Go to sleep!" Even yelled. "Never." Jack said. "What happened to you being tired?" Corbyn asked zach. "I am." He said, laughing. Then he gets off the bed, takes off his pants and shirt, he's in his underwear, lays in bed a bed. There's four beds in the room but they're not huge. So everyone has to share a bed with someone else. Jonah and Daniel go into a bed together and jack and Zach go into a bed together. That means me and corbyn get to sleep together. "Pick a side." He said. "I'll pick this one." I said pointing to the one on the inside. "Okay." He said. He takes off his shirt and pants so he's in his underwear. "I hope you don't mind." He said. I shake my head. "No, I don't mind." I said. He smiles and jumps into bed. I grab the clothes he left for me and walked into the bathroom. I'm shaking so much. I don't know if it's because I'm cold or scared. I take off my clothes and put on the ones Corbyn left me. There's sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a sweatshirt. I put on the sweatpants first. They're big but they don't fall down. Then I put on the t-shirt and the sweatshirt. The sweatshirt is big and thick and it keeps me nice and warm. I look at myself in the mirror. My hair is down and messy. I have a bruise on the apple of my cheek and it hurts so bad. I'm also exhausted and dizzy. The pills are making it even worse and I feel like I'm gonna pass out. I put my hair up into a messy bun and walk out of the bathroom. The lamp is on but all the boys are sleeping. I get into the bed with corbyn, slowly so he doesn't wake up, and turn off the lamp. I lay down and look up at the ceiling. It's silent. I feel like I'm drowning in my own thoughts. I keep thinking about Jenna and the last time I saw her. The moment keeps replaying in my head and I can't take it anymore. Tears fall down my face and I quietly sob. I miss her so much.
