"Mikey!" I screamed as I felt the bus tip. Mikey rushed over to me and pulled me into his bunk. He threw himself on top of me and used his body to shield me. The bus shook a little and tears formed in my eyes when I heard everyone else scream. My life has just gotten good and now it's going to end. I'm going to die.

I pant as I wake up in my bunk. "It was just a dream." I mumble. I pick up my phone and check the time. 3:30. Great. I sigh as I quietly hop out of my bunk and walk into the living room area. I sit on the couch and put my head in my hands. "You ok kid?" I jump when I see Jake walking down the stairs. "Y-yeah I uh I just had a bad dream." I tell him.
"

You wanna talk about it?" he asks. "Not really. Why are you up?" I mumble. "Ashley has a girl up stairs." he chuckles. "You wanna go for a walk?" he questions. "Sure." I sigh as I stand up. We put our shoes and jackets before walking out of the bus. "Can I ask you something?" Jake requests. "Yeah." I say. "Does Kai have a crush on Andy." he asks. "Oh absolutely." I chuckle. Jake laughs a little and shakes his head. "What?" I laugh. "Andy likes him too." he tells me. "Oh this is gonna be fun." I chuckle. He nods and after walking for a few more minutes we head back to the bus. We walk inside and I smile when I see Mikey and Frank sitting on the couch. "Where were you guys?" Mikey asks as he stands up and hugs me. "Neither of us could sleep so we went for a walk." I explain. I sit down next to Frank and let out a sigh. "What time is it?" I question. "6:30." Frank tells me. "Shit we were walking for like 3 hours." Jake mumbles. "Why are you guys up?" Andy groans as he walks down the stairs. "Because this is when normal people wake up." Mikey says.

Andy rolls his eyes and walks into the kitchen. "I'm gonna go wake up the others." Frank sighs before getting up and walking to the bunks. "You should probably go get ready. We have sound check at 7." Mikey tells me. "Then you should probably get ready too." I chuckle as I stand up. He huffs and follows me into the back room. "Baby~" I coo as I wrap my arms around his neck. "Yes, sugar?" he mumbles as he grabs a hold of my waist.

I run my finger along his jaw and lean closer to him. "If you two could stop making out and get ready, that would be great." Gerard groaned as he walks into the room. I roll my eyes and quickly get dressed before walking out and heading towards the kitchen. "Thanks." I mumble as Jake hands me a cup of coffee. He nods and heads back into the living room. I let out a sigh as I lean against the counter. I smile when I feel arms wrap around me. I turn and wrap my arms around Mikey's neck. I giggle as he leans his head against my shoulder. "Come on you two, we've gotta go." Ray says as he walks into the kitchen. I let go of Mikey and he walks back into the living room. I quickly finish my coffee before following him. I put my shoes on as I watch Mikey disappear into he bunk area. He walks out and throws one of his hoodies at me. "It's a little cold." he says as he sits next to me. I nod and quickly put it on. "Let's go." Frank says as he walks towards the door. We all stand up and head outside. "So, how's it going with you and Andy?" I ask Kai. He rolls his eyes and I laugh. "Dude just ask him out already." I laugh. "I'll do it after I turn 18." he mumbles. "Speaking of when are your guys birthdays?" Ray asks. "Mine's April 1st and his is April 12th." I tell him. "Yours is in a few days." Frank points out. I nod as we climb the stairs and walk onto the stage.

The boys start sound check and Kai and I sit on the edge of the stage. "So how's it going with you and Mikey." Kai asks. "It's going really good actually." I tell him. "Have you told him yet?" he questions. I let out a sigh and shake my head. "You need to tell him." He sighs. "I know." I mumble. "Tell him after this." he commands. "What if he reacts how everyone else did? What if he hates me?! W-what if he l-leaves me?!!" I shout. "He won't." Kai tells me. "You don't know that." I mumble as I push myself off the stage. I let out a breath as I stick my hands in the pockets of Mikey's hoodie and walk towards the bus.

Kai's POV

I huff as I watch Quinn walk away. "Where are they going?" Mikey asks as he walks over to me. "I don't know. We kinda got into a fight." I tell him. "What was the fight about?" he questions. "I uh...Quinn is polyamorous. They were scared to tell you because the last time they told someone they were dating she left them." I explain. Mikey lets out a sigh and shakes his head. "That person is an idiot." he mumbles. "So you're ok with them?" I ask. "Of course. I wouldn't just leave the person I love because of something like that." he says. "Y-you should probably go talk to them." I sigh. He nods and puts his bass down before going after Quinn.

Quinn's POV

"Fuck!" I yell as I walk into the back room of the bus. I slam the door behind me and lean against it. I slide to the floor and lay my head on my knees. I sniff as tears flood my eyes. I sit there for a few minutes before I hear a knock on the door. "Go away." I mumble. "Quinn, baby, let me in please." Mikey begs. "That little bitch probably told him." I think. "Promise me you won't leave me." I sigh. "I wouldn't dream of it sugar." he tells me.

I smile a little before wiping my tears and standing up and opening the door. Mikey pulls me into a hug and I cling to the back of his shirt. "Did he tell you?" I ask. "Yeah." Mikey mumbles. "I-i'm sorry." I stutter. "Sugar, you have absolutely nothing to be sorry about." he tells me as he pulls away and takes my head in his hands. "I love you, and I will always love you. It doesn't matter what or who you are. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me and I would never leave you." he says before pulling me into a kiss. "I love you too." I say as we pull apart.
