*Andy’s POV*

We were all at the house when Jessica’s phone rang. She answered it and quickly hung up. She looked worried.

“Who was it?” Erin asked.
“It was Cam. He sounded odd.” Jessica told us.
“Maybe he is just sick?” Alysha suggested, turning her attention back to the wall in the nursery.

I tried to concentrate on what was going on but I just couldn't. Something was pricking in the back of my mind. I felt uneasy and I couldn’t shake it. I got up from my spot on the floor next to Ash and walked to my mom.

“Can I borrow the car for a little?” I asked.
“Why?” She said, turning her attention away from the designs she was studying.
“Mom it’s important. Please?” I asked, pleading with her.
“Babe what’s wrong?” Ash asked, looking at me worried.
“I just.. I have a bad feeling and I need to check something out.” I explained trying to stay calm so I wouldn't worry the girls.

Erin eyed me suspiciously but nodded anyway. I grabbed her keys out of her purse and nearly jumped down the entire flight of stairs. I raced to her car and took off for Jaime and Jessica’s house. I didn’t even bother to turn off the car or shut the door when I got there. I barged into their house without knocking and searched all the rooms. They were empty and I was growing more worried until I reached the last room. It was locked. I knocked on it but no one answered. I took a breath and broke through using my shoulder.

As I rammed through the door, I nearly slipped on something wet from the floor. I looked down to see blood and an unconscious Cameron. I leaned down and shook him but still got no response. I checked his pulse next, it was faint but still there. I frantically called 911 and ripped off my shirt. I held it to his wrists to try and stop the bleeding. When the ambulance arrived they loaded him onto a stretcher and hooked him up to an IV. I followed them out and turned off the car before locking it and joining them in the ambulance. I answered all the questions I could before texting my mother and telling her what had happened. I told them to meet me at the hospital.

When we got there, the hospital workers ran off when Cam and I was left in a waiting room. Not to long after we arrived so did my mom and all the girls. Ashley ran to my side and I held her close. Jessica was in tears and Alysha was supporting both my mom and Jessica.

“Andy, what happened?” Ash asked, tears leaking from her eyes.
“I.. I don’t quite know. I just had this feeling and I had to get to him. When I got there his door was locked. I broke it down and saw him there. He had cut himself pretty bad. They said he needs a blood transfusion and stitches. Other than that I know nothing.” I explained. I held Ashley as she cried. My mom and Alysha comforted Jessica.

Erin looked at me and whispered, “Call your father. Let him know what happened.” I nodded and gently handed Ashley off to my mother.

I went out the double doors to the cool evening. I pulled out my phone and called my father. At first he didn’t pick up. I thought he might be in a show but I remembered the time difference. I was about to hang up when he finally answered.

“Andy?” He asked sleeply from the other end.
“Dad I’m sorry to wake you. It’s just.. Cameron tried to kill himself.” I said quickly. This seemed to wake him right up.
“What did you say?” He asked.
“You heard me. I found him and called the cops. We are all at the hospital right now. Mom wanted me to call you. Jessica is a mess so I knew that Jaime wouldn't know.” I turned to see Alysha walking to me. “I have to go. I think he’s out of surgery. I’ll keep you updated.” I said hanging up and following her inside.

We went to a room where The girls were already piled into. I saw Cameron lying there on the bed hooked up to an iv. He was really pale and he was handcuffed to the bed. Jessica was holding his hand and crying and Ash was sitting on the bed with her head in his lap. Erin looked up at me and I nodded, telling her I told dad.

I joined them at the bed and waited for him to open his eyes.

*Ben’s POV*

After Mitch left, my uncles excused themselves and left Sally and I alone. She slept through most the night and I eventually drifted off also. I was awoken to a loud annoying vibration coming from my pocket. It woke Sally up and she shook me the rest of the way awake. I grabbed my phone and answered.

“Hello?” I answered, unhappy about being woken up.
“Ben. I need you back on the bus.” My dad’s urgent voice whispered to me.
“Huh? What’s going on?” I questioned, looking at Sally who had questions swimming in her eye.
“It’s about Cameron. When I break the news all hell will break loose. Ben he tried to kill himself. He’s in the hospital.” My dad whispered, clearly trying to keep the information from everyone.
“What? He did what?” I asked, starting to freak out.
“Yes. I am fixing to wake up Jaime and tell him. Andy just called me. However once we tell Tay, there is no telling how she will react. I need you here.” His voice pleaded. I nodded even though he couldn't see me.
“Okay at the next stop I’ll be there.” I told him hanging up.

I turned to Sally who was looking at me for answers. I took a deep breath and hugged her before telling her the bad news.

“Cameron is in the hospital.” I told her. I felt her tense up under me.
“What? Why?”
“He tried to kill himself. I have to get on the PTV bus when dad tells Tay the bed news.” I told her, holding her close as I felt her start to shake. I held onto her as she cried into my shoulder. Eventually the shaking stopped and soon our buses rolled to a stop. I told her she could stay with my uncles but she said she wanted to be with her dad while we broke the news to my sister. I told my uncles thanks and we boarded the PTV bus.

Jaime was the first person we saw. He was in the front of the lounge crying with Vic and Mike tried to comfort him. I gave Sally a quick kiss on the top of her head before she joined her father. I walked back to the bunks to find my dad. He was sitting in his bed just staring at the wall. I sat next to him and he put his arms around my shoulder.

“I don’t know how to do this.” He whispered, fear clearly written all over his features.
“It’s okay. I’m here with you.” I reassured him.

*Tay’s POV*

Ever since my father and I had our ‘talk’, I had locked myself in the backroom. I had smashed my phone to bit, broken the tv, destroyed all the CD’s and DVD’s that had been left in there. By the time they had made it back after the concert, I was passed out. They had no way to get in and check on me either because I had moved the couch against the door before I laid on it and passed out.

When I woke up, we were back on the road. My arm was sore as I got up and when I looked down I remembered why. During the night some of the wounds had reopened and the blood had spilled onto the couch. I sighed as I got up. I had a major headache and I needed to use the bathroom. I put my ear to the door to make sure I didn’t hear anyone before I moved the couch and snuck out. I quickly used the restroom and cleaned my cuts before sneaking back to the room.

I found it odd that no one was walking about or anyone was even in the bunks. I crept to look at the front lounge and saw that everyone was gathered around Jaime. I had no idea what the problem was but I didn’t really care. I barricaded myself back in the lounge and laid down again.

As I laid there I thought about Cameron. I wondered what he was doing. As I thought of him, I could feel a familiar sensation starting in my lower regions. I looked around. The windows were covered and the door wasn’t opening anytime soon.

I stuck my hand down my pants just as the bus stopped. I started playing with myself, thinking of Cameron and the things we used to do. I was just about to climax when there was a knock on the door. To say I was pissed would have been an understatement.

“Leave.. me.. the.. fuck.. alone.” I growled out.
“No. We need to talk.” My dad said from the other side of the door.
“We did. You want to send me to the mother who abandoned me and the demon who nearly killed us. You don’t want me. So just leave me be!” I shouted removing my hand from my pants. I wasn’t going to get the satisfaction I craved.
“That’s not it and..” My dad was cut off by another voice.
“Taylor open the fucking door. It’s about Cameron.” My brothers voice called out.
“You’re bluffing.” I said, my shaking voice betraying me.
“Open this door. We need to talk to you now.” Ben’s impatient voice told me.

I sighed but got up anyway. They had said Cameron and I lost all resolve. I hadn’t heard anything from him since he had left and that was why I had destroyed my phone. Now they were telling me they had news of him. I needed to know, I was going crazy. I moved the couch and opened the door. They both stepped foot in and saw the destruction I had caused. Their eyes were wide in shock and I just gave them a sweet smile. I sat down at the opposite side of the room and looked at them.

Ben took a deep breath before telling me, “Cameron tried to kill himself.”
