Victoria’s point of view

I checked my phone, it was 11:15pm. I pushed open the door to the Of Mice And Men bus with my left arm and winced in pain as the pain from my left arm connected with the pain from my broken ribs. I was greeted by Phil in the kitchen; on his phone drinking a bottle of water.
“Hey!” He smiled at me.
“Hey” I said weakly.
“I was waiting for you to get back! I thought you died.” Phil joked. Oh if only he knew.
“Well I’m hear.” I flashed a smile, “I think I might just have a shower and go to bed.”
“Okay! Just maybe be quiet cause everyone is asleep in bed, I just waited up for you because Jared came back but you didn’t. Also, I’m sleeping in Alan’s bed tonight.” Phil smiled at me.
“Ok, I’ll see you in the room then. Thanks Phil.” I replied back as I made my way to my room and grabbed clean underwear, my pyjama shorts and a tank top and walked into the bathroom to have a shower.
I peeled off my white shirt from the night before which was now a light brown colour in some places, wincing in pain as I took it off. You could clearly see where the ribs were broken. I looked at my left arm, Jared’s fingertips had made 5 purple bruises on my forearm. I stripped off my leggings and underwear and walked into the shower.
The shower was fucking excruciating. I was glad to be out. I quickly got changed, ignoring the pain and exited the bathroom and entered my bedroom. I assumed that Phil was already in Alan’s bed as all the lights in the bus were turned off. I turned on the bedroom light with a quick apology to Phil as I popped my dirty clothes in a plastic bag I had in my suitcase that I put all my dirty clothes in and plugged my phone into its charger. My phone lit up making a ‘ding’ noise to signify that it was charging, I read the time which was 11:45pm. I turned off the light as I made my way to my bed. I tried my hardest not to cry out in pain and I laid down in my bed but a few whimpers escaped my lips, causing Phil to ask me if I was ok.
“Yeah, I think I just pulled a muscle when I was packing all the equipment away the other day.” I replied back to Phil.
Once I was finally comfortable, well as comfortable as I could get, I closed my eyes as I waited for sleep to come.
And sleep did come. After I waited three and a half painful hours. I just hope Phil didn’t hear any of my pain filled winces.
…
…
4:30am
It was pitch black in the bus and Jared was chasing me through the Of Mice And Men tour bus, I ran as fast as I could to where the boys were sleeping. Once I reached their door, I banged on it as loudly as I could, screaming their names in hopes they would wake up.
“No one is here to save you now.” Jared growled, as he appeared from the darkness.
“NO!” I screamed, as I tried to run to safety, but I wasn’t fast enough. Jared grabbed me by the arm and turned me around. He placed his hands around my neck and I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting to feel him choke the life out of me.
But he didn’t.
Instead he began shaking me, back and forth.
“Victoria, wake up!” he growled as I felt a pain shoot across my ribs. I opened my eyes to see Phil and Alan standing over me. I cried out in pain as Phil placed a hand on my ribs and my back to help me into a sitting position.
“What? What’s wrong?” Alan said, his voice filled with concern.
“Pulled muscle.” I whispered weakly.
“Bad dream?” Phil asked me.
“Very, very bad dream.” I replied back, shuddering at the thought of my dream.
“Did you want to talk about it?” Phil looked into my eyes.
“I can’t talk about it.” I replied back weakly in my groggy state. Regret and sadness filling my voice.
