(After the show)
Ashley marched off stage and over to me.

"ANNABEL, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!" He yelled at me, shaking his pink hair at me, and I giggled.

"Do you think this is funny?! I was so embarrassed!" Ashley continued his rant and I managed to force some fake tears into my hazel eyes.

"I-I'm sorry Ashley," I pretended to sob. "It was just a joke, I promise." I then buried my face in my hands and pretended to cry.

Ashley sighed. "Fine. I'll let you of the hook-"

I tackl- no, HUGGED the surprised bassist who hugged me back in confusion. When I got off of him, he finished his sentence.

"As I was saying, I'll let you off the hook if you go buy me some Hello Kitty earmuffs!" Ashley demanded.

This time it was my turn to sigh. "...Fine."

Ashley stared at me, grinning deviously.

"What?" I asked.

"I meant now, Annabel." He smirked at me and I stormed off, out of the building and down the High Street with a wad of money in my clenched fist.

I was sitting with CC, Andy, Jinxx and Ashley. Annabel wasn't there due to Ash 'persuading' her to get him new earmuffs.

We were joking around and having a beer because Annabel wasn't there and we wouldn't be a bad influence.

Suddenly we heard a loud scream outside the bus.

Running outside, I saw my adopted daughter lying on the floor, being kicked by two older boys, both about 19.

Andy was the first person to run forward and get the attackers off Annabel. He gingerly picked her up, bridal-style, and set her on his big double bed at the back of the bus. CC bought in a first aid kit, and we set to cleaning up her cuts and scratches. CC gently folded up her t-shirt to check her ribs, but then he froze.

"Jake..." CC murmured.

"Yeah?" I replied, cleaning off Annabel's bleeding cheek.

"Look at this."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
CC P.O.V
I stared in horror at my best friend's clearly visible ribs. She was dangerously thin, and every shallow breath she took looked painful. I looked up when a small voice was heard.

"What happened?" Annabel was awake. When she realised that Jake and I were looking at her stomach, she shot up and pulled her t-shirt down.

"It's not what it looks like."
