Anabelle's POV:

We got to the venue at about 3 in the afternoon and the boys started getting ready for their sound check and set right after. The bus was total chaos as they all tried to get dressed, do their hair, and apply their makeup. I was sitting at the kitchen table, helping Cc with his hair while he finished his makeup. 

"Thanks babe." He said once I had finished.

Cc stood up, kissing my cheek, as I walked over to my bunk to grab the few things I needed. I clipped my badge on my shirt so I could get backstage and put my shoes on. When I had done that, I picked up my gun and placed it in it's holster, strapping it around my chest, and putting a leather jacket over it. 

"No gun?" Ashley asked, walking into the room.

I pulled back the left side of my jacket to reveal the gun against my side, making sure Ashley got a good look before putting it back and laughing.

"It's ok Ashley. I'm not gonna hurt you." 

He nodded and the rest of the guys laughed at him a bit. One of the tour managers poked his head in the bus and told us that we had to be at the main stage in 15 minutes. The pre-show drinks were passed around and one was eventually handed to me. 

"Guys, I shouldn't." I protested.

"C'mon Ana! It's tradition." Jake said, trying to hand me the shot once again.

I eventually gave in to one shot and downed it the same time as the rest of the guys. We all stood up and I walked out the bus before them, switching once they were out and following them to the stage. I watched side-stage, earning a few looks from the guys, as they performed for the screaming fans. Once they had finished, I was greeted by five sweaty guys walking past me and down the steps. I followed, looking around, making sure no one with ill intentions was around. I felt a hand on my arm and was pulled up against someone who I assumed to be Cc, judging by the sweat and warpaint.

"Eww Cc! Let go!" I tried to get out of his arms.

"But I loooove you!" He said.

"I love you too, but can I please love you from afar until you shower?" 

"Fine." He let go of me and sat down, patting the spot next to him. "Come sit for a minute. Everything's fine. You can relax a bit." 

"Cc, it's my job to be on edge. I'm supposed to be watching out for you gu- where's Ashley?" I stopped mid sentence, looking around for the missing member.

"There." Andy pointed behind me.

I turned to see Ashley with his arm around some girl with a VIP pass, posing for a picture. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Cc, sitting down. The guys had a meet and greet after this, which I was not looking forward to. It was an hour long, which was short, but still...I had to stand around for an hour while lots of people, who I didn't know, were around the guys. 

Ashley came back and I walked with the guys to the tent where they would be. After getting settled, fans started coming in to meet the band. I stood behind them, scanning the crowd as it continually changed. 

Eventually it was over and we were able to head back to the bus. The guys were messing around like usual when I noticed a man quickly walking over to us, on an intercept path. I walked in front of the guys to signal to the man to back off. Andy and Jinxx had noticed my change in body language and attitude as I walked by their side and they looked around, noticing the man who kept walking closer. 

All in a moment, he was right in front of me, trying to get to the guys. I pushed him back, hard, keeping him back while another security guard ran over to help. I was able to keep him back, but not before his fist came in contact with Ashley's face, making him yell and hold his bleeding nose. The other guard and I were able to get him on the ground and hold him while another guard cuffed his hands behind his back. 

I re-joined the guys and we continued back to the bus, the man yelling profanities after us. After getting inside, I made sure to lock the door as the rest of the guys took care of Ashley's nose. I took my jacket off, leaving my holster and sat down with the rest of them. Ashley was holding an ice-pack to his face and had a bandage on the bridge of his nose, stopping the blood. 

"I'm so sorry Ashley." I said. "I should've got him down sooner. He should never have gotten that close to you."

"Ana, it's okay. Who know what would've happened if you weren't there. I wasn't paying attention anyway so I should've gotten worse and would have, had you not been there. I've been in much worse fights before. I'll be fine. Promise." He said.

I nodded, still feeling bad for letting Ashley get hurt. Everybody showered and got cleaned up while I sat with Ashley. The rest of the guys were a little shaken up and no one really said much for a while. 

"Let's go out and have fun for a while guys." Cc suggested a few hours later. 

"Hell yeah!" Ashley said, sitting up.

"Not you." Cc quickly corrected.

"I can go though! I feel fine!" 

Nobody believed that for a second. Ashley's face had now began turning a nasty shade of purple and green. He was also talking with a slight slur. I shook my head at his attempt.

"I'll stay here with Ash. You guys go." I said.

"I am not leaving you alone here with Ashley." Cc said. "You'll somehow end up pregnant." 

I rolled my eyes and a couple of the guys laughed. 

"I'll stay with Ash." Jinxx offered.

"Plus, after today, I want you to come with us." Andy said, looking at me with pleading eyes.

"I can stay by myself. You guys go." Ashley said with defeat. 

"I'm staying. We're not leaving you alone. End of discussion." Jinxx said.

Gosh, he really was the mom. We all nodded, besides Ash, and I got my jacket, heading to a nearby bar that was only a couple blocks away.
