Fallyn's POV
~~~
I opened my eyes and looked at the small object in my hands, oh my god.

"You got me this, that's so nice." I said feeling a wide smile spread across my face, Frank was smiling as well.

"Even better, I made it, it's one of my guitar picks. It's a bit late but think of it as a birthday present. Do you want me to put it on for you?" I nodded and he took the guitar pick necklace from my hands. It was so nice of him to go to the effort of making this for me.
Not many people have ever cared enough to give me something that would matter this much to me.

"Can you lift your hair?" With one hand I grabbed my hair and lifted it up so he could put the necklace around my neck.

I can't believe that Frank Iero would give me a necklace he'd made from his own guitar pick.
He did up the clasp and for a moment I felt his breath on the back of my neck.

"Thank you so much Frank, it's so sweet of you to think of giving me a present." I said holding the necklace so I could admire it.

He gave me another one of his adorable smiles and opened his mouth to say something.
Before my mind could react my body commanded me to hug him and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

Feeling his body pressed against mine made my heart beat faster and tears started brimming around my eyes. He wrapped his arms around my back and I felt my face grow hot, he was such an awesome guy.

"It's no problem, don't worry about it." Without meaning to I hugged him tighter and some tears started to fall from my eyes and land on the ground.

"No one has ever been nice to me like this except for Katelyn. I'm sorry that in crying but I'm not used to this." I whispered, remembering the time Katelyn spent three straight days writing to the local radio station to get them to send a shout out to me on my birthday.
It was last year to be precise.

I got control of myself and loosened my grip around his neck so I could pull back and give him another smile. He didn't have a smile on his face like I did but I could tell that he was happy through the shine in his hazel eyes.

A piece of my badly cut hair fell into my face and I let out an internal sigh of frustration.
Frank pushed the hair away from my eyes and let his hand linger on the side of my face while my heart went wild.

My gaze drifted to his mouth before I resumed control of my body.
Is he thinking the same thing as me right now? I doubt it.
He probably thinks I'm a kid.

All of a sudden the bus came to a halt and caused bad luck for anyone who happened to be standing. I went falling forward, waiting for my face to hit the ground but was stopped when I landed on Frank's chest.

I'd expected him to tell me off for squashing him but he gave me a big silly smile and I had to hold back a laugh.
He's so cute.
Then the moment was over and he had a serious look that didn't suit him plastered to his face.

"Fallyn do you think that you could get off me? I have to go and do something. Why don't you start setting up your mobile." My heart sunk, I'd be an idiot to believe that he'd like me the way I liked him.

My earlier thoughts had been right, to Frank I was a little girl.
I've been little girl-zoned, or friend-zoned, they both applied to me.

"Uh, okay." I rolled of him and quickly stood up while he stayed on the ground blankly staring at the ceiling for a moment before getting up and walking out of the room like nothing had happened.

I looked at my chest and realized that I had yet to put on my newly purchased bra, shit, no wonder he ran off like that.
Frank Iero probably thinks that I'm some kind of sexual deviant.

This isn't going to happen again, I thought while getting my camouflage print bra out of the plastic bag and heading to the bathroom.
Once the door was closed and locked behind me I pulled of my shirt and put on the bra.
This is actually quite comfortable, I thought, then I looked at myself in the mirror.

What the fuck happened to my boobs?!
They're like ten times their normal size.
I took off the bra and looked at the tag, yep it's the right size and everything.

Then I looked closer, 'playboy pushup'.
Fucking, fuck, fucking, fuck.
My breasts are big enough, why the hell would I need a push-up bra?

Damn, I must have grabbed the wrong kind of bra when I went to get a different color.
With a sigh I put the bra back on and pulled my shirt on over the top, this was just great and there is no way I'm mentioning this to Frank.
I looked at myself in the mirror, I look as if I should work at hooters, I thought before unlocking and opening the door.

My stomach growled as I walked into the living room, I should get something to eat.
I headed to the kitchen with the intent of finding some of the apples I'd seen Gerard unpacking earlier.

"Hello." I jumped when it was Greg the bus driver standing in the kitchen putting a bandaid over his finger.

"Hi, what happened to your hand?" I asked, grabbing a piece of bread, the next best thing to an apple that I could find.

"We hit a creature of some sort and its angry and stuck in the undercarriage of the bus. It bit me when I tried to grab it. I think it might be a fox or something." I found a knife and peanut butter while he was talking and began making a sandwich.

"Will it be okay?" Poor thing shouldn't have to be stuck underneath a bus.

"I don't know the guys are out there trying to figure out how to get the creature to move."

"I'll go and give it a try." With a half eaten sandwich in hand I walked to the front of the bus and down the steps.

Mikey was halfway under the bus while the others stood there watching him.
Out of the five of them Mikey is probably the least suitable person you'd want to send under the bus to retrieve a angry fox.

"What are you doing?" I asked, watching half of them jump at my voice.

"Fallyn what are you doing here?" Gerard asked, not answering my question, even though I already knew the answer.

"Greg said there was an animal stuck under the bus and I came out to help." Mikey crawled backwards and his dirt covered face appeared.

"Get back on the bus, the animal may be hurt and I don't want you to see it." Gerard spoke without looking at me and I frowned at his words, I was never known as a person who liked being told what to do.

Before any of them could react I was at the front of the bus, on my hands and knees, with a peanut butter sandwich in my mouth.
Because I was small I had no effort in squeezing underneath the bus.
There was a surprising amount of space as I crawled towards the tail hanging from a pipe.

"Fallyn! What are you doing?! You are going to get yourself hurt!" It was Ray who was talking to me as I tried to get closer to the animal.

"You guys can get hurt as easily as I can!" I yelled back to them while holding the sandwich in my hand.

"But we're more injury proof than you are." I snorted a little, even though they were members of My Chemical Romance all men were the same.

"That's a little sexist don't you think?!" I heard a sigh come from one of them and I saw someone (who I was pretty sure was Frank) walk up to the side of the bus.

"That's not what he meant." Yeah, it was Frank, and he sounded slightly frustrated.

"Whatever, give me a couple of minutes and I'll get the animal out." I said crawling up to the orange, white tipped tail.

A quiet growling sound appeared as I got closer, he's not happy.

"Come on cutie, I'm not going to hurt you." I said around the peanut butter sandwich, why did I bring it with me? The growling got even louder as the animal realized that I'd gotten closer.

"Fallyn please come out of there and let me get it." I turned around to see Gerard's black hair framed face looking at me.

"Give me two more minutes and if I can't get it I'll come out and you guys can do whatever macho thing it is that you wanna do. Let me record it though so I can put it on YouTube." Gerard sighed and gave me an exasperated look before his head disappeared.
I continued crawling forward and finally reached the animal who the tail belonged to.

"Aw, aren't you just the cutest little thing?" I said while looking at the baby fox that was stuck between two pieces of metal.

It's ears flattened and it continued to growl at me but its adorableness overwhelmed any fear that I might have.
I picked up the sandwich I dropped on the ground, tore off a crust and lifted it up to the baby foxes face.

It growled once more before quickly eating the piece off bred and making a light chirping sound.
"You're hungry huh? Do you want some more food?" I ripped off another piece if crust and gave it to the fox who hungrily ate the bread.

I gave it another piece and while it was eating I sat up and inched my hand up to its neck.
The fox looked at my hand suspiciously until I gave it another piece which kept it distracted for long enough for me to grab it by the scruff so it couldn't move around while I got it out of the underside of the bus.

It growled a little at me before it gave up and started to make a whimpering sound that made me feel bad, I kept myself determined though and I got it out of its uncomfortable position.

Somehow I managed to clutch the baby fox to my chest with one hand and back out from the underneath of the bus with the other.
As my head appeared the guys began to clap and Gerard helped me up.

"How the heck did you manage to get hold of it? The thing bit Greg." Gerard asked with an amazed look in his face.

"The little guy was hungry." I said patting the adorable baby fox then giving it the last bit of sandwich. Frank walked over and tried to pat it but it hid its head in my arm.

"We should get him back to the bus so he can eat." Frank said while trying to pat the fox again, the only response he got was a growl.

"Haha, look like he only likes me. By the way it think its a girl not a boy." She chirped at my words and I grinned and walked towards the bus steps.

"Am I the only person who cares if that thing's got rabies?" Mikey said while I began to walk up the steps.

"Yep." Frank laughed and followed me up the steps and into the bus.

~~~

Nearly all of us were experiencing cuteness overload as we took turns feeding her pieces of meat, bread and peanut butter.
Out of all the people that could be picked she preferred me the most and anytime the bus went over a bump the baby fox would come running towards me.

I sat on the couch with her on my lap, she'd curled up and fallen asleep after all of the eating.
"What are you gonna name her?" Frank asked while sitting on the opposite end of the couch.
I thought for a second before deciding her name.

"Peanut." Frank laughed and I stroked the baby foxes fur, she's so cute and tiny.

"What do you think happened to her Mum?" I said trying to stop myself from laughing when her nose twitched slightly.

"I didn't want to point this out earlier but there was some fox lying on the side of the road." Frank scratched his neck while he talked and I kept glancing at Peanut.

"Why didn't you tell me? I could have let her go back to her Mum."

"No, I meant the there was some part of a fox on the side of the road." He sighed and I understood what he meant immediately.
Poor thing, she would have starved to death, no wonder she was so hungry.

"Do you think that Gee would let me keep her?" As I talked to Frank, Gerard walked into the room and sat down on the edge of the couch next to me.

"I don't think Gee will mind." He sighed and I felt a grin stretch over my face, without meaning to I hugged him.

Gerard hugged me back for a couple of seconds before letting go and patting Peanut who woke up and yawned on my lap.

"I'm going to make some late lunch. Put the fox-"

"Peanut." I said correcting him.

"Put 'Peanut' in Frank's bunk, wash your hands and come and get something to eat." Gerard got up and walked off while I sat there patting Peanut who looked ready to go back to sleep despite having just woken up.

I stood up and held her in my arms gently while walking into the bunk area.
Frank followed me and pulled the curtain back so I could put her on his mattress.
She jumped out of my arms and onto the bed, strutted around for a couple of minutes then finally settled next to his pillow.

"She is the cutest thing ever." I said looking at the baby fox and internally screaming at the adorableness.

Frank mumbled something under his breath that I was unable to hear and patted Peanut on the head before walking out of the room and leaving me alone.
I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, then splashed my face and looked at myself in the mirror.

My face looks sickly, its too pale, I pretty much look like a vampire.
My hair wasn't much of an improvement.

"God I hate my hair." I said, scowling at my reflection and the ugly blonde and black hair that framed my sickly face.

"What's wrong with your hair?" I jumped and turned to see Bob standing behind me with a confused look on his face.

"Hehe, I'm just having some girl problems." I tried to brush off the subject.

"If it makes you feel any better I think that your hair looks nice." Bob said to me stiffly then walked off as if nothing had happened.

Okay that was weird.
I dried my face with a towel then walked into the kitchen and narrowly avoided being hit in the face with a piece of lettuce.

"Sorry!" Mikey yelled while ducking a piece of cucumber that went flying over his head.

"Knock it off! I'm trying to make food for you guys and you're wasting it!" Ray was standing there with a knife in his hand and an angry expression while Gerard was making his kooky laugh and almost hitting himself in the face with the counter.

I giggled and watched the food fight going on between Mikey, Frank and surprisingly Bob.
Ray was getting angrier and angrier with the more food that they wasted and Gerard was being of no help to either team.

"Okay! Stop it please!" I had to raise my voice to get their attention, I didn't yell much but when I did it was known to get everyone to listen to me and in this scenario it worked.

Frank, Mikey and Bob dropped the food and gave Ray and I an apologetic look. Frank was bad at looking sorry, he didn't have a face made for apologies or guilt.

"Thank you Fallyn." Ray said while he continued slicing tomatoes.

"Ray can't cook and when he does he likes to be taken seriously." Gerard managed to say in between laughs that were as amusing as the situation. Ray gave him a murderous look and continued slicing up vegetables for the salad I think he was making.

"I'm supposed to be helping but this is much more entertaining." I laughed a little bit, not at Ray but at Gerard's weird giggle.

"I'm sure that it will taste fine." I have yet to taste Ray's cooking and I'm not going to make assumptions on how it will taste from the guys who enjoy teasing each other.

"Again, thank you Fallyn. Can you sing because I'm thinking of kicking Gerard the asshole out of the band, you'd be much more fun to travel with." At Ray's words Gee stopped laughing and enabled his serious face.

"Fine move over and I'll cook, I'm better at it anyway." Gerard quickly took the knife from Ray and I heard the sound of skin being cut

"Ow! Dammit Gee that hurt!" Ray lifted his hand and picked up a white kitchen towel and tried to cover up the blood flowing from his hand.

"Haha! That's what she said!" Frank was laughing and so was everyone else while I stood there wondering why no one was freaking out over the cut on Ray's hand.

"Why aren't you panicking?! He could need stitches?! Or staples or whatever hospital thing it is that they use!" I ran over to Ray and wrapped the towel around his hand while turning on the sink up rinse off the blood.

I uncovered his hand and put it under the tap, there was no cut on his palm.
I turned over his and and there was no cut on the other side, what's happening to me?

"Fallyn, chill out. It was a prank that's it. There was no cut on the 'fro man's hand." Frank said while putting his legs up on the seat and shrugging.

"But what about all the blood? He looked like he was in pain and there was blood on the knife." Ray took the tea towel from my hand and began to clean up all of the blood on the floor and the bench.

"I'm sorry if we scared you, it was only a prank." Gerard walked over to me and held out his arms, offering a hug.

"If you ever do that to me again I'll skin you alive." I said giving him a firm poke in the chest before I accepted the brief hug.

"I'm gonna make the lunch, you should go into the living room and set up your mobile phone, you'll never know when you might need it. She's never had a phone before so one of you should help her." I'd expected Frank to jump up and offer to help because that's the impression that I'd gotten from him, but instead it was Mikey who offered to help me.
I sat down on the couch with Mikey and the iPhone box, I unwrapped and took the phone out of the box.

Because I have such little idea what I'm doing with the phone Mikey had to show me how to turn it on and I felt embarrassed.
As it came on I followed the set up steps with occasional help from Mikey when it took too long for me to figure something out.

"You really don't have any idea what you're doing with this do you?" Mikey asked while showing me how to set the time.

"What can I say, I'm technology challenged. Anything that uses electricity is practically witchcraft in my town." He laughed and handed the fully set up phone back to me.

"If you want I can log you in to iTunes using my account so you can get free music. I think that I've got our albums on my purchase list. You do like our music right?"

"If course I do and that would be excellent, thank you." He took the phone back and started typing quickly into it and after a couple minutes he handed the phone back.

"There you go, enjoy." I gave him a smile and said thanks again as started scrolling through the music list. I recognized more than a few bands that were in the artist list on the music section of my iPhone.

"Cool, you have The Misfits and The Cure." He gave me a smile and I played one of the songs by The Misfits.

'With a touch of my burning hand, send my astros off to rape the land, prime directive exterminate the whole human race.'

"You know, we've been meaning to cover that song for ages." Mikey said while the song continued to play and I tapped my knee in time to the song.

"I'd love to see you guys perform it."

"Stay alive and you might get to...ah that sounded a lot better in my head." I laughed it off and continued to scroll through the list of music.

"Why would Gerard want me to have a phone anyway? It is not like I know who to call." I said while looking through my empty contact list that would probably stay empty until the phone got broken or died.

"Pass it here." I handed Mikey the mobile and he started typing something into it.

"Now you have my phone number." He gave me the mobile back and I looked at his contact in my phone.

"Can I take a photo so I'll know it's you calling?" He nodded and I tapped on the buttons required to take a picture.

"Smile." Mikey did his best attempt at a smile and I took a picture of him.

"Haha, look. You're actually smiling in this picture." I said while looking at the thumbnail picture on his contact.

"What to you mean that I'm 'actually smiling' I smile all the time." He looked at the picture, now that I think of it saying that he was smiling would be stretching the truth. What he was doing wasn't even classified on the facial expressions list.

"Mikey sorry to say this but you're practically the inspiration for all poker players across the world." Without meaning to I started laughing while he sat there with a blank expression on his face.

"Okay, lunch is ready and it tastes half decent." Gerard said, sticking his head in the doorway and giving us a smile.

Mikey stood up and offered me his hand, I took it and he pulled me up as well.
I pocketed my mobile and followed him into the kitchen.

The smell of food surrounded me and my stomach growled like Peanut when I found her.
Gerard handed me a plate with a burger bun on it as I walked in.
There were different kinds of burger fillers on the bench and I started putting my food together immediately.

"Just so you know, we'll be having these for dinner as well." I shrugged and bit into my food, I liked burgers so eating them twice in a day wouldn't kill me.

I sat down at one of the tables next to Frank who had already eaten one and was halfway through his second. Bob and Ray sat across from me while I moved over so Mikey could sit next to me and even though there was room for Gerard he liked where he was sitting on the bench.

"Did you get your phone working?" Frank asked me with a mouthful of food.

"Yeah, Mikey gave me some music to put on it and he added his phone number as well." I took another bite, this tasted really, really good, either that or I was just hungry.

"Where's your phone then?" With one hand I pulled it out of my pocket and put it on the table, wordlessly answering Franks question.

He picked it up and began typing into it like Mikey did earlier, he started pulling faces at it and I had a feeling that he was taking a picture of himself.
When I got it back I looked at the contact list and sure enough Frank had added himself to it, although he'd listed himself as Batman.

"Thank you so very much." I said sarcastically while looking at the ridicules face that he was pulling in the thumbnail picture.

"Anytime." He saluted me before taking another bite from his burger.

"Give me the phone and I'll add the rest of the guys to your contact list." I passed the mobile to Gerard and he put his burger down so he could focus on typing.

I finished my burger as Gerard continued to type their contacts into my phone.
A familiar chirping sound came from the back of the bus and Peanut appeared, running at full speed into the kitchen.

"Hey what's up sweety?" I said to her as she looked at me and continued her chirping. She jumped onto Mikey's lap on her way to me and he nearly had a full blown spazz attack.

"Calm down Mike, it's just a fox." Bob laughed as Peanut finally made her way into my lap and sat down.

"What if it has rabies?" Gerard gave her a piece of hamburger meat and she happily chirped at him.

"Yes beware the viscous, rabid fox that is so obviously foaming at the mouth." I laughed at Bob's words while I took the rest of the hamburger meat that Gerard gave me to give to her.

As I fed her, Gerard got each member of the band to hold still while he took a photo of each of them. Bob looked uncomfortable getting his picture taken but managed to stay still long enough for Gerard to get a good shot.

"What do you think's more reasonable to be afraid of Bob? A camera or a possibly rabid fox?" Mikey said while crossing his arms on the table.

"Is your bitching techniques a viable option?" Frank asked and made everyone laugh. As I was laughing I held the meat too close to my skin and Peanut (who was very hungry still) got a bit overzealous and accidentally nipped my skin.

"Ouch!" I said pulling my hand back and looking at the couple of drops of blood that dripped from the tip of my finger.

For some reason Ray put his hand over Bob's face and I sat there, slightly confused for a second then Mikey stood up so I could clean my finger off.

"Frank can you hold Peanut for a sec?"

"Sure." He took her off my lap and I stood up and walked into the bathroom while Mikey headed to the front of the bus. I turned on the faucet and the cold water rushed over my finger, I hated it when I got wounded by anything.

"Here." Gerard stood there holding a bandaid in one hand and my mobile phone in the other.
I thanked him and wiped my finger dry on a towel, there was still some blood coming from my finger but it'd congeal soon.
Gerard wrapped the bandaid around my finger while I put my cell into my jeans pocket.

"We have a practically endless supply of bandages and stuff like that so if you ever need one they're under the kitchen sink." I nodded and he gave me a smile before walking back to the kitchen

After collecting myself I went back in and sat next to Frank who was baby talking to Peanut and giving her more meat.
Bob was gone from the room and Mikey still hadn't come back.

"What happened to Bob and Mikey?" Frank suddenly noticed that I was there and did a double take before answering.

"They have an aversion to blood so they're gonna stand near a window for a while. Since lunch is over do you want me to give you some more lessons?" I didn't understand why he wanted me to play the guitar so badly but I had nothing better to do.

"Okay, that sounds like an idea."

~~~

Frank spent the afternoon and a fare bit of the evening teaching me things about the guitar.
Different chords, what a capos for, why it's a bad idea to start fiddling with the knobs on someone else's guitar when you have no idea what you're doing.

In the end I think I've learnt more from Frank in one day that a guitar teacher could teach me in a month. My fingers hurt so much right now, I have no idea how he's able to do this almost every single day.

"So what is it that's gonna stop my fingers from feeling like they're gonna fall off?" He sighed but grinned.

"Calluses, you'll get them after about a week if you play everyday. Then it won't hurt." Some small part of me doubted him, that was the slacker part of me
I'm no more confidant playing now than I was this morning but I might not look so stupid now.

"How can you do this everyday? Don't you ever get tired?" He took the guitar from me and played a complex riff that I had no chance of ever playing.

"Not really, I love doing this and I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else." He was looking at me while playing, now he's just showing off.

"What have we learnt today?" He asked while embellishing upon the chords I learnt.

"If I mess with the stuff on your guitar you will tickle me and the only thing that can stop you is Gerard?" I knew this wasn't what he was taking about but I was tired and felt in a comedic mood tonight.

"Close, the answer is don't drop the guitar while you are playing it." I pouted as he teased me about my one mistake for the millionth time today.

"If you get to tease me about stuff like this then I'm not gonna get lessons from you anymore." I crossed my arms over my chest and sulked a little bit.

"Fine, I'm sorry." He said putting his hands in the air while the guitar balanced precariously on his knees. I yawned and fell back on the couch, I was tired and the only break I'd had was for half and hour at dinner time.

"You're a mean guitar teacher." I managed to say in between yawns.

"I know and you're tired, go and get some sleep so you'll be awake enough for me to overwork you tomorrow." With another yawn I stood up and stretched my arms.

"You better be nice to Peanut." Gerard had insisted I use his bed because he'll be awake all night doing some band related stuff so I was sleeping in a top bunk.

Which meant I'd be in the bunk above Frank and none of us wanted Peanut falling off the bed so she'd be sleeping on Franks bed, closer to the ground.

"I will be, I promise." I nodded and went into the bunk room to grab my dark green pj's out of my bag and went to the bathroom to get changed, while in there I brushed my teeth with the toothbrush Gerard had bought for me.

I'm gonna sleep like I never slept before, I thought shuffle walking like a zombie towards the bed I'd be sleeping in for the night.

As I passed Frank he giggled, probably at my low level of alertness and I was too bothered to pull a face at him.
Even though I was hardly awake I managed to say goodnight to Peanut who gave me her happy chirp before curling up in a ball on Franks pillow.

With a bit of difficulty I pulled myself onto Gerard's top bunk and put my head onto the pillow.
The second I had a blanket over me I started feeling paranoid about the bus swerving and me falling out of the bed. Then I realized that there is a raised wooden side to prevent the exact thing I'd been worrying about.

I rolled over so I could face the window while I fell asleep, the night shone in clearly once I pulled the curtain shut behind me.

Buildings, paddocks, houses and cars flickered past as the bus drove through the night.
I wish that Katelyn could be here, she'd love the guys, the bus and Peanut.

A few tears fell onto the pillow as I thought about her funeral that I went to on my birthday.
Peanut started chirping and I heard Frank talk to her, he might be going to bed as well.

"Night, Fallyn." I turned around and saw that Frank had pulled my curtain to the side and was giving me a warm smile.

"Night, Frank." I smiled back and he patted me on the head before moving away and closing the curtain behind him.

My eyes closed as the light that glowed underneath the curtain disappeared.
I'm so tired, but for the first time it's not of life.

~~~

"Misty, Misty. Wake up." I groaned and burrowed my face into the pillow to block out whoever was trying to wake me up in the middle of the night.

"Come on, wake up silly. I can't be here long and I'm trying to talk to you." Slowly I rolled over and squinted my eyes in the darkness, trying to make out who was kneeling at the foot of my bed.

As my eyes adjusted a body slowly took shape, followed by hair, a face and an incredibly familiar smile.
A scream began to rise in my throat and she clapped her hand over my mouth.

"Ssh, I don't wanna wake anyone up. If they check on you I'll have to leave." She took her hand off my mouth and I took a deep breath and tried to calm my shaking voice.

"K-K-Katelyn?" She smiled at me and I felt tears start to build up around my eyes, I've cried way too much today so what difference will once more make.

"Yeah Mist, it's me...how are you?" Katelyn was kneeling next to me on the bed while I sat there shaking as tears fell down my face.

"I don't know. You left me all alone. Why would you do that to me? I'm alone in the world now." I muffled my broken sobs with the pillow as she sat there with tears streaming quietly down her deathly pale face.

"I didn't leave you alone on purpose. Besides you have the guys now, Gerard, Ray, Mikey, Bob and Frankie. You made the right choice when they asked you to stay, all the wrong things would have happened if you said no."

"But how are you here?"

"I'm sorta here and sorta not. You went to my funeral and you know my body's in the coffin. I'm just my soul now or a guardian angel, however you want to think of it."

"What do you mean by guardian angel?" A smile spread across her face as I kept the bottom half of my face covered with the pillow so my crying wouldn't wake everyone up.

"Since 'they' realized you tried to kill yourself before your time you now have a guardian angel to keep you from any funny business, me." I tossed the pillow out of the way and gave her a hug, crying into the dress I remember seeing her buried in.

"Why did you kill yourself?" I asked putting my head on her shoulder while she patted my back.
Even though she's the same age as me Katelyn always behaved like my big sister.

"I didn't and don't ask anything further because I can't speak about it till you are ready."

"Can I at least ask why you haven't got a halo, wings or a harp?" She laughed almost silently as I asked an stupid as all get out question.

"Angels don't have halos or harps and my wings are tucked away they're too wide for the bus."
I got control and stopped bawling my eyes out onto Katelyn who didn't seem to mind.

"You would not believe what the future has ahead of you." She said as she pulled her knees up to her chest and sat there with an all knowing grin on her face.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" I crossed my arms over my chest and jokingly glared at her.

"Uh-uh. I can't tell you because that would be cheating, although I can say you are on the right path now and you should keep up with you behavior."

"What do you mean by my behavior Is all I'm doing is being me." Her grin got wider as I sat there with a confused expression.

"Exactly. By the way I got you a present. It was supposed to be for your sixteenth but I got a bit delayed giving it to you..." She pulled out a square present that was very well wrapped and handed it to me.

"Thanks, I really miss you, you realize that right? Are you happy?" She gave me a sad nod and lent in to give me another hug.

"I'm happy, I miss being alive though but enough sad talk for one day, I have to go now, I'll be back again." She looked at the roof of the bus and it took me a moment to realize that she was looking at the sky in her own way.

"Do you have to go? When will you be back?"

"Yeah, I have to go. I'll be back in a couple of days. Be careful when you hug Frankie by the way, he's, um, a bit unstable at the moment. I love you bestie." She smiled and gave me a hug before parting the curtain and jumping off the bunk.

"What did you mean about Frank?" I asked, pulling back the curtain and looking into the empty room.

Where the hell did she go?

I lent a bit further out of the bed and let out a scream as I came tumbling off the bunk bed and falling towards the floor.
My head hit the ground and the world around me went black.
