Tom's Pov

"We think that Chrissy is the best fit for lead singer." Daniel holds his arms out and Chirssy hugs him.

I look at Ianite, who is sitting by a man in all black.

She looks displeased. I couldn't be happier for my baby girl.

'I see you looking Thomas. I'd keep my mouth shut if I were you.' Dianite hisses in my head.

People clear out one by one. Jordan, Wag, and myself walk up and meet the band.

"Hi! I'm Tom and this is Jordan. We're Chrissy's parents." I say and shake the two boys hands.

I have no clue why I'm being so formal but I am! No going back now!

Ianite joins us and she quickly wraps her arms around Jordan.

I try to ignore it and stand back as Chrissy exchanges contact information with Will and Dan.

Time Skip

Chrissy sits inbetween me and Jordan on the couch.

"You think he'll be home soon?" Chrissy chokes out, I can tell by her voice she's about to cry.

Jordan gives me a look and I sigh. "I can only hope." Chrissy wipes a tear and I see Jordan swat her arm.

"You've had a damn good day Chrissy! Don't let a drug addict take it from you!" He yells but that only causes Chrissy to sob more.

Ianite chokes a bit on her wine because of Jordan's sudden yelling.

Chrissy just shakes her head and runs upstairs.

"That wasn't necessary Jordan." Ianite says softly and sweetly as usual.

"Tom go get some sleep. I'll wake you up when he gets home." Jordan says.

I haven't slept hardly any these past few days.

Since my vision I can't sleep without having a night terror.

"I'm not tired." I say forcing myself to sit up straight.

"Please don't lie." Jordan whispers looking deep into my eyes.

"You don't understand." I mutter. Jordan pulls me into his arms. I can hear Chrissy's sobs from upstairs.

Jordan's Pov

It angers me how much love Tom still seems to have for Wag.

But I know he can't help it. It was like me and Ianite.

Speaking of she has tears in her eyes, Tom's tears are dampening my shirt.

Tom's breathing slows and Ianite starts talking.

"You don't understand the hell he's gone through Jordan. He's terrified of his own mind. I can't even begin to describe what he's seen!" I run my hand up and down Tom's side.

I don't know how to answer Ianite. I know she's right. That's all I can really sum up.

"J-Jo-ordan" Tom sobs and I kiss his forehead.

"I'm here. I'll always be here." I whisper to him.

Tom would've never let me hold him like I am now. I'm scared he's broken into something no one can fix.

Tom pulls from me and mumbles something.

"Have a nice walk." Ianite says moments before Tom leaves slamming the door behind him.

I get up to go after him but Ianite stops me. "Leave him be."

"No! I want to be with him! He needs me!" I yell. Ianite frowns before saying,

"He's gone to pray Jordan. Leave him be."

Tom's Pov

I couldn't lose my shit in front of Ianite! I couldn't let her see me break down like I am now!

I don't want to look weak! Ever and that's that!

I look at my reflection in the river that that runs on the opposite side of the island.

My eyes have lost their color. I look away and sit back against a tree.

"Why do you do this to me! I was your first!" I yell to the sky.

"I just want my life back!"

"LEAVE ME AND MY FAMILY ALONE!" I sob.

I just want things back to the way they were! When everything was sunshine and rainbows!

"Thomas calm down." Ianite's soft voice says.

Damn it. She sits next to me and cast a purple glow at our feet for light.

I guess I never really realized how dark it was till now. How long have I been out here?!

"Jordan's sleeping. Him and Chrissy made up. Everything at the house is fine. The Wizard still isn't home." Ianite says and I turn away from her.

"You can't s-see me like t-this." I sutter but Ianite turns me back towards her.

Something about her gaze makes me want to sob in her arms.

I feel so betrayed, alone. Like Jordan did when Ianite just left after we found out.

"I know Thomas." I wish she would leave my thoughts alone.

"Sorry I can't really help it." We both giggle but I soon begin crying again.

"Can you sing?" I whisper closing my eyes and letting the tears roll down my face again.

Don't loose who you are in the blur of the stars

Singing is deceiving, dreaming is believing.

Its okay not to be okay.

Sometimes its hard to follow your heart,

Tears don't mean you're loosing,

Everybody's bruising just be true to who you are.

The more I try the less its working,

Cause everuthing inside me, screams

No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Ya

Don't loose who you are in the blur of the stars

Singing is deceiving, dreaming is believing.

Its okay not to be okay.

Sometimes its hard to follow your heart,

Tears don't mean you're loosing,

Everybody's bruising there's nothing wrong with who you are.

Yes nos, egos, bug shows like whoa, just go

And leave me alone.

Real tough, real life, good love, goodnight.

With a smile, that's my heart. That's my heart, no-oo.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Don't loose who you are in the blur of the stars

Singing is deceiving, dreaming is believing.

Its okay not to be okay.

Sometimes its hard to follow your heart,

Tears don't mean you're loosing,

Everybody's bruising just be true to who you are.

Jordan's Pov

I wake up snuggled into Tom's chest. We're in bed! Not on a couch!

Tom's lightly snoring! That means he's sleeping!

"Tom! I'm home!" Wag yells from downstairs.

Its about fucking time! I remove myself from Tom's arms and slide a pillow where I once laid.

He's not hungover, that's a first. Ianite's still passed out on the couch.

"About time don't ya think." I say and start making breakfast.

"Listen I'm an adult. If I worried Tom I'm sorry but Tucker and I had a damn good time last night. Also Andor was involved as well! He finally let go of the pain you caused him."

"Wizard quit stiring the pot." Ianite says in her sleep.

"She's right Wag. The drugs you are dragging into our lives aren't getting rid of any pain you have." Tom says he looks at me and smiles.

"Well Jordan started it." I try my best to focus on the eggs I'm attempting to fry.

"Wag I really, really, REALLY don't want explode on you. But I'm about to." I say and Tom burst out laughing.

"You two are like teen girls! Worse than I am!" Chrissy yells playfully as she wraps an arm around my waist.
