together we will be unbroken

The last few weeks have been great. We've been joking around all the time, and everything has been going according to plan. I've finally been able to take off the sling, and I just have to wear my brace. It's so nice.

Right now I am unloading the lights in sunny Lincoln, Nebraska. I am so nervous about meeting Ashley's family in a few days. What if they don't like me? Oh my God what if I get lynched? "There you are you little bitch." I look up and see Kina standing in front of me with her hands on her face, and she does not look happy. Wait, I thought Ashley said he broke up with her.. "I thought you were my friend, but I guess you were just using me to get to him." She closes the gap between us, and gets right in my face. She is a good six inches taller than me. It's really annoying.

"No, I got close to you because I knew you were going to be on the bus with me, so I figured I should be nice to you." I say calmly.

"Shut the fuck up you liar!" Her hand connects with my face.

"Oh no you don't this is Tum's fight." I hear Ronnie say. Before I know it, Kina is trying to push me to the ground.

"You really don't want to do that." I say.

"Oh I think I do." She runs at me again, but I step out of the way, and watch her run into the tour bus.

"Hey Tum, you need to give us time to sell tickets!" Ronnie yells from an open window in the venue. I roll my eyes and look back at Kina. She growls and runs at me again.

"You'd think you'd learned." I grab her arm, and flip her. That really hurt my shoulder. She glares at me from the ground. "Are you done?" I ask calmly. This is so pointless. She screams, and takes out my knees.

I lay on my back, and she climbs on top of me. "I hate you." She starts hammer fisting my face. "Stupid. Little. Bitch." Each word is met with a punch to my nose.

"Will you please get your fat ass off of me?" I roll us over and stand up. Just walk away Lace. She runs at me again. "Haven't you had enough?" I punch her right in her nose, and she stops dead. I see blood seep between her fingers. I sigh and walk inside. Great my nose is bleeding again.

"Wow Tum, do you think she could have gotten anymore hits in?" Ronnie teases.

"I actually wanted a few more." I smile, and take some tissues out of the box in his hand.

"Fucking masochist." He smiles.

"Laci, oh my God I'm so sorry." Ashley comes out and puts his hands on my shoulders.

"It's fine." I tell him.

"No it's not. I'm the reason you're hurt."

"Actually, falling out of the bunk is. She can't punch at all." I chuckle.

"You're such a wierdo." He rolls his eyes. "Now come on let's get you cleaned up."
