Andy woke up, not remembering what happened. He sat up and didn’t know where he was. He did hear voices from beyond the area though.
“That’s just it though, sir, he was in bed when we went to bed and we find him on the floor in front of the door. It just doesn’t make sense.” Ashley’s voice came from the other side of the door.
“I was the one who found him. I was looking for him, when I realized that he was nowhere on the bus.” CC’s voice came. “When I opened up the door, he fell sideways right on my feet. To me it looked like he was trying to get out of the room and thought it was locked.”
“Did anyone that was in this area hear anything coming from this room?” A different, unidentified voice asked. “Like security or an official for the tour?” the person added.
“No, we had already made our rounds.” A security guard answered. “I’ll be sure to have men do an extra round after their shifts are up to double check the rooms.”
Andy got up from the couch, but fell once he tried to stand. “What the hell…” he said, his voice at whisper level.
“What was that?” Ashley asked at the sound of the fall.
“It sounded like it came from inside.” CC answered.
“I’ll go check it out.” Jinxx said.
“I wish Jake could hurry up with whatever it is he’s doing.” Ashley said.
The door opened and Andy saw Jinxx come in. Jinxx closed the door and stared as he saw Andy on the floor.
“Andy!” Jinxx exclaimed excitedly. “What happened?” he said as he walked away from the door.
Andy shook his head. “I just woke up.” he then sighed. “My right shoulder and hand hurts though.”
“Do you remember anything from last night?” Jinxx asked, noticing that Andy couldn’t talk above a whisper, as he knelt down to hear Andy.
The door opened behind them, as CC and Ashley came in with Jake in the rear.
“I was sleeping in my bunk on the bus.”
“Did you have any dreams last night?” Jinxx asked.
“N--yeah.” Andy answered, as he remembered.
“What was it?”Jinxx asked. “Was it a continuation from the dream you had the night before?”
Andy nodded.
“What happened in the dream, can you remember?”
“They finished injecting me with those needles...and threw me in a room that was locked. I tried getting out, but I couldn’t. I tried pounding on the door, but no one answered. So I tried breaking it down. I failed and ended up falling asleep.” Andy answered.
“I think you were sleepwalking the entire dream.” Jinxx said. “That is the logical reason I could find on how you got here.”
“Sleepwalking?” Andy asked. “I don’t walk in my sleep.”
Jinxx huffed a laugh. “Apparently you do, otherwise you would be in your bunk on the bus and not in our dressing room from last night.”
“What?”
“Look around, this isn’t our bus.”
Andy looked around and realized that Jinxx was right. He was in the dressing room.
He then got up as Jinxx got up with him.
“How’re you feeling?” Jinxx asked skeptically.
“Better than a moment ago.” Andy answered.
The other three hung in the back, not knowing the answers that Andy was giving Jinxx.
“May be we should take the night off, so you could recover.” Jinxx stated.
Andy shook his head. “It’s when I rest is when they happen, not while I’m awake.” He said his voice starting to sound like normal, barely. “I’ll be fine for the concert tonight.”
Jinxx laughed a little. “Tonight? Andy, the concert is in a few hours. We have a day concert today.”
Andy then bit his lip. “Shit…”he said finally, after some moments of silence. He then scratched his head with his left hand.
Jinxx’s eyes narrowed.
“What?” Andy asked.
Jinxx then took Andy’s right arm without warning and examined it.
“What’s the matter Jinxx?” Ashley asked.
Jinxx then looked up at Andy. “When did you get this injury?” He asked as he pointed to Andy’s upper arm.
Andy gave Jinxx an questioning look then looked at his arm and the location that Jinxx had pointed out.
“How did I get that?” Andy asked.
“That’s what I’m asking you.”
Andy shook his head again then sighed. “Why is it I always get unexplained injuries?” He asked.
“I don’t have a clue, Andy.” Jinxx asked.
Andy then backed away from Jinxx and found a first aid kit. He took care of his injury, then went to backstage and changed for the concert.

Half way through the concert, Andy’s vision started to blur, but he continued the concert until the last song. When the last song ended he went straight to the changing room, showered and changed his clothes. His vision became blurred once more during the after party, but he stuck with it until it was over. Once it was over, he went straight to the bus. But he ran into an old friend along the way.
“Hey Andy!” Sandra yelled.
Andy turned around to see who called him and through blurred vision, he saw Sandra coming up to him.
“Hey Sandra, how’s it been?” he asked, trying his best to not to let her know something was wrong with him.
“It’s been going good. Modern Day Escape has been exceptionally welcome and fantastic.”
“That’s great. Did you find the musical course you were looking for then?”
“Yes...and I see that you’ve been doing well in the direction that you wanted the band to go in.”
“Yeah, the others have the same directional point of view for the band as I do.”
“That’s awesome to hear. My band will be playing tonight, if you wanted to come and watch us preform.” Sandra said. “You guys were amazing up there last night and today.” She added.
“Thanks...yeah, uh...what time are you playing?” Andy asked as he shook his hair out of his eyes to cover up the fact that he was trying to focus his attention.
“We’re playing at eight tonight….that’s in six hours.”
“Right. Yeah, I’ll be in the audience. I’ll see if the guys want to watch as well.”
Sandra nodded. “Well, I’m off. I got to go meet up with the band. Catch you later.” She said as she started to walk away from him.
“Yeah, it was good catching up a little. Catch you later.” he waved to her as he continued his way to the bus.
She waved back at him, then he turned his back on her.

Jake left the party a few hours after it was announced it was over.he pulled out his phone and attached his go pro to it. Then started recoding, as he went the bus.
“Hi guys, Jake Pitts here.” Jake said into his phone camera. “So, uh, we had a strange event happen this morning before our concert.” he paused. “Well, actually the strange event started the other day.”he stated. “Those of you who were at the concert and signing, today, you most likely noticed Andy acting strangely. I” guessing you had asked him yourself and had gotten a blunt response. But here’s whats up with him for those who are fans of his. The other day Andy woke up- and according to Jinxx- with a little scream and strange injuries. Again, according to Jinxx, the injuries that Andy had sustained on his left elbow were needle scars that looked like bleeding Acne and rosacea.” he paused again. “I know right? It sounds horrible.When Ash questioned him about it, Andy said that it was from a dream.” Another pause. “I don’t know guys, it sounds bizarre. Now as I was saying. We had a strange event happen this morning before the concert. CC had found Andy in our dressing room in front of the door sleeping. Yeah, sleeping in front of the door in our dressing room. The strangest part of it is, is that we all saw him in his bunk last night.”he paused again. “Anyway, it turns out that Andy has such vivid dreams that it causes him to sleepwalk every once in a while, or get injured. The other members and I along with Ella and Juliet are keeping a sharp eye on him. I have read something a while back that people end up seriously getting injured or dying. So at the moment, nothing serious has happened. As far as the strangeness during the signing and thereafter, I want to say that it was just a side effect of his dream.” Jake sighed, “I will keep you guys posted on that.” he said.
Jake got to the bus and stepped inside. “Anyway, uh,” he laughed. “I lost my train of thought.”he said.
“Hey Jake.” Andy said.
Jake turned his phone to show Andy. “Hey Andy, how are you?”
“I’m doing well, despite what happened this morning.”
“What did happen this morning? Jinxx didn’t tell us what the two of you were talking about.” Jake said.
“I had a continuation dream.” Andy answered.
“Anything happen in the dream that caused you to wake up in our dressing room from last night?”
Andy laughed. “Are you interviewing me?” He asked as he pointed to Jake’s phone.
“I would still ask, regardless.” Jake answered.
Andy sighed. “I can’t remember it now.” he said. “Ask Jinxx.” Andy then walked towards the back of the bus and closed the door to the single room.
“Well, guys, I tried.” Jake said into his camera piece. “I guess I’ll have to ask Jinxx.” he added, then turned off his camera followed by getting into his bunk.

Andy came out of the room, when the silence grew more constant. He went over to his bunk and took out his sketch book. He then went back to the room and laid on the bed. Propped up onto his elbows, he took his pencil out from the book and started to sketch the images from his dreams he had. He didn’t realize what he was sketching until afterwards.

Ashley came onto the bus and spotted Jake on his bunk.
“Hey, is he here?” Ashley asked.
“Yeah, he’s been in the back room. Since a little after I got back.”Jake answered, knowing who Ashley was talking about. “He had came out for a few seconds to get something. But he went back in. Whether he is still in there or not; I wouldn’t know. Because I took a nap.” Jake answered.
Ashley nodded his head, as he went towards the back of the bus. He then knocked on the door; but he entered anyway, when Andy didn’t answer.
“Hey Andy…”Ashley said as he entered.
Andy didn’t respond. Ashley found Andy asleep on the bed facing the foot of it. Andy’s right hand on a book with a pencil in hand and was drawing something. Ashley got confused, until he noticed that Andy was in fact asleep. When the pencil dropped from Andy’s hand, Ashley picked up the book and realized that it was Andy’s sketch book. He went back two pages and saw something in relation to what Andy had mentioned as his first dream. He walked back out to Jake.
“Hey Jake…” Ashley’s voice sounded off.
Jake got up and looked at Ashley. “Yeah, Ash?”
“Here’s what he was drawing.” Ashly said as he sat down at the table.
Jake left his bed and joined Ashley at the table. “That little liar. He told me he didn’t remember.” Jake said as he went through the drawings.

The first picture was of Andy tied up in a bed, in a room that looked like a surgical room, with a scientist injecting something into him with a syringe. The second was of Andy in a prison like cell room trying to break down the door. The third one...scared both Jake and Ashley. It was a drawing of Andy covered in blood and had an unknown weapon in hand covered in blood. There was a caption bubble next to Andy’s mouth. It read: ‘Who’s next on my list?’. As they looked closely at the gory images behind their singer, they could see depicted features of their most common hater fans.
