My phone starts vibrating, waking me up. I had to get up early to do my makeup. I forgot to take it off last night. I sneak into the bathroom and do my makeup and then get dressed. I wear a hoodie and jeans. I go back to my bunk and read. A little later the rest of the bus gets up.

Were all sitting in the seats in the front of the bus doing our own thing. My phone rings. It's an unknown number I quickly get to the bathroom and answer.

"Hello?" I say.

"Hey its me from last night." The person on the other side said after a moment's pause. It's the lady that helped me. "I have news."

"OK tell me."

"I talked to the cops and they said they can't do anything unless you publicly say it was you and go up against them. You have to put your name on the case."

"But then everyone will know it's me."

"I know I'm sorry hun."

"Can I give you my answer tomorrow?"

"Yes dear please think it over."

"Ok thank you, I'll call tomorrow at the same time."

"Ok stay safe."

"Thank you for everything." The call ends, I have a big decision to make.

I sit down on the bathroom floor with my legs up to my chest. What do I do? I think I need to tell them. Besides it won't be long before they realize it or I put my name on the case. Either way they will find out and I think I should tell them now or they will be mad.

I summon up all my courage and go back to the seats.

"Hey guys there's something I need to talk to you about." I say standing at the front.

"We would love to talk about this but our manager just texted he needs us in the studio now." Jack says. "Can it wait?"

"Ya it can wait." I lie through my teeth. They say bye to me and leave.

"Sorry sis but I have some stuff I have to do. I'll see you later?" Eben says smiling and looking at his phone. He taps my shoulder then leaves. I dig my nails into my hand.

"And then there was one." I say to myself. Wll that plan worked out great. I'm sure I could talk to them later about it right? Ya probably.

We're going to be parked here for the next two days. Because Why Don't We are going to record a new song and we have a show here tonight. I really want to leave this bus but I don't wanna leave alone.

After an hour I call Zach. I really need to talk to someone. I need help deciding.

"Hey-" I start to say but get cut off.

"Talk to someone else, I'm busy." Then he hangs up.

I called Jonah and he didn't answer. I called Jack and Corbyn answered telling me Jack was recording. I spaced out the calls by at least an hour. I tried to ask them for help but no one will talk to me. I need an answer and this is killing me. I can't stay stuck in here. I can't decide. I feel like I can't breath in here. I leave my phone and go up onto the roof.

It feels so freeing up here. I can breath. I close my eyes and just breathe. I fall asleep. It's nice up here. I don't have a care in the world. This is the best sleep I've had for a long time.

I wake up. I have no idea how long i've been up here but it's dark now. There's workers walking around packing up the bus. I crawl back inside and grab my phone. There's tons of missed calls from the boys. Of course they call when I couldn't answer.

I muster up enough courage to leave the bus to go to the green room. I run there, constantly looking to make sure no ones following me. I need to tell them I can't live like this much longer. Constantly looking over my shoulder being afraid. I follow the arrows and I find the green room. I go in there's stage workers walking around packing up. Some of the boys are looking at things fans gave them and others are on their phone or talking.

"Where were you?" Daniel asks looking up at me. Causing the others to look up at me too. They're mad. What did I do?

"You weren't there for Hooked." Jack says.

"Oh i'm sorry I must have lost track of time." I say I need to tell them because I have to call her back soon.

"We went back to the trailer and you weren't there. Where were you?" Jonah asks looking me in the eyes.

"I was on the roof." I say looking down at the ground. I fidget with my hands.

"Why?"

"I wanted to think."

"Ya well we were all counting on you to go on stage."

"We had to do the dance without you." Daniel says.

"I'm sorry!" I said now I'm mad. "All day I have been trying to tell you guys something but you haven't listened to me. So i'm sorry I wasn't there tonight I was dealing with something." They all look sad and guilty now. I storm out. I'll just deal with this on my own, they're no help. I run down the hall and open the doors and go to the staircase. I can't see through the tears. I don't know where I'm going and I don't feel safe so I stay at the stairs. I collaps on some stairs. I sit with my knees to my chest and cry.

I try to make sense of my thoughts so I can figure out what my decision is. I hear the boys calling my name. Someone opens the door. I try to get up but fall. The person catches me and I try to get out of their arms and it causes me to fall down the stairs. It hurts. It was a pain full roll. I feel pain everywhere.

"Oh no Amor dont move you could have broke something." I now recognise Jack says rushing to the flat break between flights of stairs. He touches me and I scramble back away from him despite the pain coursing through me.

"Don't touch me!" I say backed up against the wall.

"Ok ok. It's going to be ok, I won't touch you." He says putting his hands up. "Your hurt you need help please don't move."

I look at him unmoving.

"Help she's over here!" He yells. Soon after the rest rush down the stairs. They try to go to me but Jack holds them back. "She fell down the stares and doesn't want anyone to touch her." He informs them.

"Does anywhere hurt?" Corbyn asks kneeling down to my level. I nod my head. I'm still pressed up against the wall with my legs up to my chest. "Ok we're going to get the paramedics."
