"jonah, we can't do that." daniel shook his head, holding onto a sleeping nalia. "you and eben are planning to adopt by next month, i mean," he chuckled. "we can't do that. even if it's just to a different part of california, we can't have all of you move."
"he's right jo." corbyn sighed, sitting down next to his husband.
"guys, he's stalking all of us as a band." jack ran his fingers through his hair. "i think it's best if we all do relocate."
daniel pressed his nose to nalia's soft hair, breathing in the soft strawberry scent, calming him down. "what if.." he cleared his throat, looking up at all five boys. "what if we take a break."
"a break from music?" zach asked. daniel nodded his head.
"just until everything is situated. not us breaking up, just a break." daniel reassuringly said. "we've taken breaks before."
"i suppose." jonah sighed. "how long?"
"how ever long we need, i guess."
corbyn opened his mouth to say something, but his phone ringing stopped him. morgan is calling..
"who is it?" daniel asked, kissing the top of nalia's head.
"uh.. morgan." he mumbled.
"what? she never calls during class." daniel frowned. corbyn picked up, putting the phone on speaker.
"morgan?"
"dad?"
"hey monkey. what's wrong?" corbyn asked softly, hearing the panic in her voice. "you're on speaker by the way."
"he's here." she muttered. "jackson's here."
"what? where?" daniel asked, handing nalia to zach, already standing up to grab his car keys. he put his shoes on.
"i see him out of the campus. he's just leaning on his car."
"your father and jonah are going to get you. stay on the phone." corbyn soothed her. daniel, on the other hand, was already speeding to the school. jonah was in the passengers seat, texting eben about the situation.
the drive to the school was fast, daniel running many red lights and stop signs but he didn't care. the school wasn't far from their house, only about 8 minutes driving.
daniel pulled into a parking space once he was in front of the school, rushing out of the car. jonah followed him, the two sprinting into the school building.
daniel threw the door open, scaring everyone in the main office. daniel walked up to the receptionist, feeling his whole body shake with nerves. "i need to pick up my kids, alex and morgan besson."
"okay, ID please?" she asked, grabbing his license. he drummed his fingers on the counter. "i'll call them down." she smiled, handing back the plastic card.
it didn't take long for alex and morgan to get to the front. morgan threw herself against daniel, the male holding her tightly. alex was being held by jonah. "you okay, morgs?" daniel asked gently, crouching down in front of her.
she nodded her head. "i just want to go home."

later that night, morgan was too anxious to sleep. her brain wouldn't shut off. she was texting back and forth with peter and snapping a few of her friends. her music was playing softly in her room.
she already cleaned her room, played her electric a bit and started reading a new book. she sighed heavily. she got up, leaving her room.
she went to the kitchen for some water. she grabbed a cup from the cupboard, filling it with water from the fridge.
she quickly gulped it down, the liquid soothing her dry throat. she set the cup down on the counter, gasping when a cloth went over her nose and mouth.
"i'm bringing you home for good, morgan. with me. where you belong."
