*Andy’s POV*

I sat there staring at my phone for a good five minutes until I got the courage to hit reply.

To Sexy Bitch (; - Oo yea totally normal for me. I hve dis disorder tht I twitch whn a sexy bitch is near
From Sexy Bitch (; - Oo rly now? Sounds serious
To Sexy Bitch (; - it is, im actuly takn up donations rite now, yea there r many things 2 b donated. A date, a kiss, things like that.

I hit send and just sat back and thought about what I just did. Was I really flirting with someone that Tay considered the enemy? Well yeah, I guess I was, she was hella cute. I haven’t ever really dated. I mean there were quite a bit of cute girls, but most of them only wanted the money they knew my dad had or to date a famous person’s kid. I normally stayed around my stoner friends and just ignored girls; no matter how big their butt was or how much cleavage they showed.

So yes, that also meant I was still a virgin and I was pretty sure that a dime piece like Ashley was not.

*Tay’s Pov*

After the whole Ashley blow out, I headed to my room hoping on a message from Cameron and to read. I checked my phone and was disappointed that I didn’t have any new messages. I picked up my book and tried to push it from my mind. However not even three minutes later, my phone vibrated and I snatched it up and unlocked it.

From Cameron- Hey beautiful. Im sry I didn’t txt earlier, had 2 pack 4 tour nd dad took the fone 4 fmly time. Hve I tld u that u r beautiful?? Cuz u r :D
I felt my heart skip a beat and I knew I was smiling like an idiot. I hit reply.
To Cameron- Its ok, Ash came by -_- nd u mght hve mentioned it ;)
From Cameron- Y? nd jst mkn sure :D
To Cameron- 2 “apologize”
From Cameron- Oo well im sry, ik how u feel bout her :/ .. n other news, on tour I wuld lik 2 get 2 no u better, can we hve some alone time??

Before I could reply, Erin came in.

“Hey do you have a minute?” she asked me.
I nodded and sat up, patting a spot next to me on the bed. “What’s up?”
“Well, as you know I won’t be going on tour with you guys. I also know that you can see whatever has been hurting our family. Tay if you see or feel anything out of the ordinary, I want you to tell your father and call me right then and there. I don’t want a repeat of the last tour. I love you guys so much, you, your brothers, and your father. I couldn’t bear to lose any of you. You guys are my world.” Erin said, near tears.

I leaned over and wrapped her in a hug. “Of course! I couldn’t lose my family and I know that Andy and Ben can be a bit much at times, but they really don’t hate you.”

She sniffled and nodded. “Tay, I want you to know the real reason I’m not going on tour with you guys. I told your father, but I’m leaving it up to him to tell your brothers. Tay you are going to be a big sister.”

*Ben’s POV*

All day, my uncle’s call was in my mind. They were taking me for most the tour and letting me sing. This was a dream come true. I had been singing for as long I could remember. As I laid there and thought about how awesome this tour would be, my phone started playing ‘A Candlelit Dinner’, I looked at the caller ID and it was Sally.

“Hello?”
“Ben? Uh canwemetup?” she said in a rush, running words together. It took me a second to understand what she had asked.

“Yes of course. Where at?”
“The park that is between our houses?”
“Okay I’m headed out the door right now.”

As soon as I hung up, I bolted out of the house. No one even realized that I had left. I sprinted to the park, the whole while wondering what was wrong with Sally. She sounded close to tears. I got to the park in record time and found her on a bench crying. I ran up to her and pulled her into my arms, whispering meaningless words and stroking her hair.
Finally she had calmed down some and we sat down. I kept my arm around her and pulled her close to me.

“Ready to tell me what’s wrong?”
“Well..*sniffle* I just found out that Danielle isn’t going on tour with us and her and dad got into a big fight and well dad stormed out. It scared me; I’ve never seen him that mad before Ben.”

That brought on a new round of tears and I just held her and let her get it out.

“Erin isn’t coming either. We aren’t sure why, but my dad and her got into a fight over it to. I don’t know what’s going on. I mean they might just be scared about what happened last time. I can’t blame them.”

She nodded and looked up at me with red puffy eyes.

“Hey,” I said looking into her beautiful brown eyes, “you know you are gorgeous right?”

She blushed and tried to look away but I grabbed her chin and kissed her before she could even respond.

*Danielle’s POV*

It had felt nice to get out of the room, even if it was only for a few minutes. When I got back the Dr. Dison was checking on his son again.

“Oh Danielle, I’m glad you’re back! Daryl has made some progress since you left. He managed to lift his head and look around! He’s also a bit more alert and even asked where you went.”

The doctor gave me a big smile and went about looking over his charts. I looked to Daryl who looking at me. For a second I could have sworn I saw something in his eyes, something evil, but as soon as I saw it, it was gone.

I shook it off and got in bed. I was worn out from the few minutes that I was gone and must have imagined it.

*Third Person POV*

“What, what do you mean you aren’t going on tour with us?” Mike asked Alysha on their way back from the Perry house.
“I mean, I wanted you and Tony to make up so I didn’t have to worry so much since I knew I wouldn’t be there.” She told him, looking out the window.

In the backseat Ashley had her head phones in, but no music was playing. She was listening to her dad and step mom argue.

“So you have had this planned the whole time?” Mike asked, sounding hurt.
“Erin, Danielle, Jessica, and I have talked about it since it came up. So I guess the answer to your question is, yes.
“Well fuck me and what I want right?”
“This isn’t about you Mike.”
“Wait, are you afraid that I’m going to get drunk and rape someone? Is this about what happened in the past? Damn it Alysha I have changed!” Mike yelled, slamming his fists on the steering wheel hard enough to cause Ashley to jump.

Ashley sat there still pretending to listen to music. She was close to tears. Her dad and Alysha fighting was killing her. She really hated fighting. Normally when there was a fight, her dad would break out the alcohol and drink himself into a stupor.

The whole time she sat there listening to the fighting, she was digging her long, sharp fingernails into the tender skin of her wrist. She knew it was bleeding because she could feel the drops falling on her pants.

The only thing that drew her from her trance was when her phone vibrated and lit up with a message.

From Lover Boy (; - it is, im actuly takn up donations rite now, yea there r many things 2 b donated. A date, a kiss, things like that.

She felt a single tear fall on her cheek as she smiled.

Notes

So you guys really should comment and let us know what you think!
I mean, Ben kissed Sally, Cameron wants 'alone time' with Tay, Andy is a virgin, Tay just found out that Erin is pregnant, and none of the moms are going on tour. Also does Jaime know that Jessica isnt going on tour?

What do you guys think??
