Mike Carden Blog and Journals

We all sat around the dark wooden table, Amy fidgeting next to me. I swear, that girl could never sit still.
"So," she said loudly, looking around the table with a smirk.
I glanced next to me, where it just so happened Sisky was sitting. I couldn't help but feel that the guys had set us up, so we were forced into conversation at some point. But what in this world was I supposed to say? 'Uh, hi? Yeah you were my best friend ever, but I secrety was in love with you and still am. Nice to see you again.' I cringed at the thought. He glanced over at me, a small smile on his face.
"Wait, how did you all meet again?" Amy asked, sipping on her Pepsi as she looked around the table at us.
"Well, we went to school together," said Bill, glancing at Sisky and I. He paused, so I took the hint.
"Right, yeah. We lost touch after high school because I moved to Washington state for a while, and they ended up moving as well."
"Fancy that, meeting back up in a Food Lion in the middle of fucking no where," stated Adam, smiling over at Amy.
While we ate, the conversation broke off, as it does with large groups, into smaller conversations. As if by chance, although I didn't believe it, Sisky and I were the only ones not included into a particular conversation. We listened quietly for a while, until he finally turned to me.
"How are you?" he asked quietly, his eyes staring intently into mine.
"I'm... good. Staying busy," I sipped my tea. "How are you?"
"Good. Tour is amazing. You'd love it," he allowed himself a polite grin, leaning in slightly and then back out.
"Yeah, I bet I would. It's what you always dreamed of," I chuckled. "How's Baby?"
"Cranky," he raised his eyebrows.
"What's new?" I laughed, and then looked down.
"Yeah, right? So what do you do? As far as a job?"
"Uh, well I went to college for acting and photography-"
"Big shocker," he grinned widely, allowing me to continue.
"And as I figured, finding acting jobs are tough. I'm looking for things in the photography world as of now, but I'm working with a photography company, just as an assistant and stuff. I'd love to find a job where I can travel, you know?" I met his gaze.
"Yeah," he trailed off. "We missed you," he said after a break in the conversation.
"I missed you guys... so much," I forced myself to meet his piercing gaze.
He nodded, a saddened expression reaching his features.
"I like you hair," I smiled, my eyes trailing toward his head of hair.
"Is that so?" he ran a hand through it on cue. "A guy told me it looked like a dead ferret the other day, I'm thinking of cutting it."
I shook my head, "don't cut it!" I put my hand up, combing my fingers through his curls. "And it definitely doesn't look like a dead ferret," I laughed.
"Yeah, well I've been needing to cut it anyway, so," he made a scissor motion with his fingers.
"Darn," I muttered, then snapped my fingers sarcastically. He shook his head, a smile on his face, and I noticed Bill watching us from the corner of my eye.
After lunch, the guys decided that it was probably time for them to head back to the venue.
"But we still have a show here to tomorrow, so if you want you can stop by before we leave."
"We'd love it if you did. You too, Amy. Both of you," said Jack, nodding.
"Wait, hold on," Bill dug in his pockets for something, then pulled out two lanyards. "Backstage passes for the both of you. These'll get you into Warped, too. We were going to give them away to fans, so here you go."
"Oh Bill you really don't have to," I smiled graciously.
"But I want to. Take them," he pushed them closer to me.
"Bill-"
"Take them or I'll throw them away."
"In the mud."
"Where no one will be able to use them."
"Well thank you, very much," I said, taking them from his hand. I gave hugs, saving Sisky for last, mostly because I was just too shy to do it.
He didn't pull back as quickly as I expected, instead he held on for a few seconds. Those few seconds made my heart race and my head feel like it was shutting down.
"Please come tomorrow," he said quietly, nodding, after he'd pulled back.
"I will," I smiled softly, unable to do anything else.
We all exchanged numbers, this time determined not to lose touch. We said our final goodbyes and watched them drive off.
After Amy and I had made our way home, gotten yelled at by mom for taking so long, and put away groceries, we decided that we were done going out for the day.
We sat on my couch, watching movies for the remainder of the afternoon.
An hour and a half into silently watching Harry Potter, Amy spoke up.
"Do do you love that Sisky guy?"
"Um, what?" I asked, hoping she'd leave it alone. She was Amy, she never left it alone.
"I saw how awkard yet... gushy things were between you two. What up wit dat?" she asked in an accent I didn't recognize.
"Well, we were best friends in high school, and-"
She gasped dramatically, "I'm... I'm not your first best friend?" She pouted her lips and faked pre-cry breaths.
"No offense, but we were best friends, as best as it gets. And..." I paused, unsure if I wanted to tell her. "And I was in love with him my entire high school career."
I exhaled deeply, keeping my gaze aimed at the television screen.
"Really?" she asked quietly, in a completely serious tone, by the sound of it. I risked looking over at her, only to find a serious expression on her face as well.
"Yeah," I said.
"Well, what happened? Did you date, or?"
"No, I, uh. I never told him. I didn't want to lose the friendship that I had with him, and was afraid of being rejected, so I just didn't..."
"Aw, Ell. Why not, though?"
"Because I just... didn't."
"He totally loves you," she said after a long pause in conversation.
"What?" I asked, incredulous. "Sisky? No, Sisky does not love me. We missed each other, we were just happy."
"He so does, Ella, you don't even see it."
"Yeah, because he doesn't." I was starting to get annoyed.
"But he does."
"No, he doesn't, so shut the hell up about it," I felt my jaw flexing as I watched Harry Potter.
"Geez, Ell. Don't fucking flip, I'm just saying what I see," she swung her legs off my lap, sitting up.
"Well it's not true, so."
"Ell, why can't you just accept it when people care about you? You always deny it. And him? Of all people, I'd think you'd be thrilled, or something."
"Well, I don't know what I think or feel anymore, so fucking drop it."
She got up off the couch, and walked over to the basement steps, "well I'm going home, Jesus."
I exhaled angrily, throwing the remote.
As much I hated to admit to even my own mind, she was right. I could never accept that someone liked me, all the guys who ever hit on me I always found a reason not to date them or go out with them.
Maybe I was just scared, of getting hurt.
But I knew it was because I was terrified of not finding someone who I loved as much as Sisky. I felt like no one else was worthy enough, I found myself, even after all that time, comparing guys to him. Things Sisky would have done, things he would have said, in certain situations.
I hated myself for that. For not giving anyone the time of day just because I still cared about him.
I hated myself for loving him.

Sisky's POV

Bill looked over at me, clapping his hand on my shoulder.
"Glad to see her again?"
"Yeah, man. It was nice..." I didn't meet his gaze, for fear he'd read my mind, as Bill often did. "I hope she comes tomorrow."
"She will," Butcher assured me. "Or we'll kidnap 'er."
"That's legal," I muttered, laughing.
"Why didn't you ever make a move on her in high school, dude? I mean, I don't know-"
"I met the chick for an hour and she seems perfect for you," Mike said.
"She's a great girl," Chiz agreed.
"She is..." I said quietly. "I never made a move, because. She was my best friend. And that's such a... such a weird situation. With our amazing friendship at stake, I just didn't want to risk it, you know?"
"It's risky business, messing with that," Bill said, allowing himself to smirk. I punched his shoulder lightly, and sat on the couch.
"So what do you guys want to wreck now?"
"Well, it's kinda hot."
"Let's shoot some footage," Jack said, holding up his camera pointedly.
Without another word, I ran out of the bus with the guys.
I couldn't believe that I'd actually seen her in person, sat next to her.
I felt.. well, lame, that I'd had dreams about her for so long. I was glad I didn't have to dream anymore, I didn't have to imagine what she looked like now.
"Fuck," muttered Bill walking past.
"Why so glum?" I asked in a deep voice, running to catch up with him.
"Our photographer just quit, had a family emergency that's going to take up months of his time."
"Oh," I frowned. "That's shit."
"Yeah, who're we going to find in one day, honestly?" Bill was pretty annoyed, and my mind quickly jumped around, thinking of a solution.
"Lightbulb!" I yelled into his ear. "I know of someone."
"Who?"
"You'll find out," I ran back to the bus without another word.

Hmm I bet you know who it is :D
Thanks for the comments and reads, guys, it's really really encouraging to post a first chapter and get such a positive response.
Aaaaand since she, being one of my best buzznet friends, did me the gracious deed, I'll return the favor.
ALL of YOU should check out downandout11's fics: Unfinished Business and Forever's Never Seemed So Long . I love them both so much.

Much love;

PS Tags for this is difficult; they have SO many names ahaha

I awoke, hitting my head on the bunk above me. I wasn't sure if I'd ever get used to the fact that the bunks were so small. Whenever I sprung up out of bed, I always hit my head, and felt ridiculous after doing so.
I had the same dream about her, the one where I was playing a show and saw her, right there in the crowd.
As I lay there, I started thinking deeper about it. I realized, with a rapidly beating heart, that I had seen her. She had been there, at the show.
Before I had time to think any further, my bunk curtain swung to the side, revealing blinding sunlight and Bill behind it.
I closed my eyes and slapped his face, ignoring the groans that followed.
"Well good morning, sunshine," grinned Bill as I opened my eyes slowly, allowing the sunlight to creep into my burning corneas.
"Geez, bro," I muttered, forcing myself to get up.
"Day off," The Butcher yelled in my ear.
"Yeah," I replied mindlessly, getting a bowl of Lucky Charms.
"Dude, not all the Lucky Charms," whined The Butcher.
"There's a whole bowl left, bro."
He shook the box and raised his eyebrows at me.
"Right," he exaggerated, flopping down on Carden's lap. "This whole tour is ruined now."
"How about I go shopping for you, and buy you a box all your own?"
He simply raised his eyebrows and pouted his lips.
"Okay, I'll make you a deal. A box of Lucky Charms and Reese's Puffs for this bowl of cereal," I offered.
He huffed, and looked to Bill.
"Sounds like a good deal, man," said Bill, sucking air in.
"Deal," Butcher said, with a large sarcastic grin plastered across his face.
"What are we doing today?" asked Chiz suddenly.
"Well, cereal shopping," I offered.
"And checking out Virginia in all it's glory."
"Well let's do it, brother!" yelled Butcher, jumping up and clapping his hands.

I followed Amy into Food Lion, rolling my eyes as she skipped down the aisles.
"Let's get Doritos!" she suddenly turned and said a little loudly.
"We're here to get groceries for my mom, that's it, chica," I said, walking past her with a grin on my face.
"Weeeeeell, your parents are paying, aren't they?" she grinned maliciously.
"Mhm, and we're not spending all of their money, either," I shook my head.
"Ohh, Ella we have to get cereal. We haveeee to," she groaned tugging on my hand.
"You look like a little child right now," I pulled my hand from her, unable to hold back a grin.
"So? I want Cap'n Crunch!"
I sighed, weighing the options: giving Amy her way and buying a single box of cheap cereal or being mean and refusing. I wanted to be mean, but couldn't force myself.
"Alright, alright. One box," I laughed as she pulled me through the store. As she bent down to tie her All Star's loose laces, I turned the corner to the aisle, bumping into a tall, slender figure.
"Oh shit," I muttered a little too loudly, looking up.
I smiled, then looked down the aisle. My heart fell, and I looked back at the figure I'd just bumped into.
He looked back at me, realizing I was still standing there, then his face dropped slightly. Neither of us said a word until I heard another voice I knew so well.
"Ella Southers," said William, opening his arms to a hug. I quickly walked over to him, allowing his arms to wrap around me.
"Oh my gosh, you guys, wow," I muttered, my words barely coming out right. I noticed Jack standing not too far off, and quickly hugged him.
"Jack Edinger, oh wow."
"Like a little high school reunion," he laughed.
"What the hell, Ell? Ha, I rhymed," Amy muttered, walking around the corner, shoe in hand. Her mouth closed as she noticed the group of boys I was talking to.
"Oh... hi," she said, waving her hand, shoe and all.
"Uh, this is Amy. My great, and slightly, crazy, bestfriend," I laughed, scratching my head. I caught his glance, and my heart rate took a plunge, as if I'd just fallen off a cliff.
A small smile spread across his lips, his eyes sparkling.
"So, uh," Bill broke the silence, glancing nervously between Adam and I. "This is Mike Carden, of course, you've met him before, yeah?" I nodded, exchanging awkward smiles with Mike.
"And this," Bill clapped his hand on the back of the long haired boy. "Is Michael Guy Chislett, our lead guitar."
"Hello, nice to meet you," he smiled, and I noticed his accent. Either Australia or New Zealand, but I couldn't quite place it.
"And this crazy dude is The Butcher, our drummer," the boy smiled, and I noticed the extremely cool tattoos plastered across his chest and arms.
"So... aren't you guys on tour?" I asked, allowing a laugh to escape.
"Well, yeah, but," The Butcher began, looking to Bill.
"Sisky and Butcher made a deal and, uh, Sisky's here to buy some cereal."
I glanced at Sisky just long enough for my chest to explode, then I looked back to Bill.
Amy spoke up, and I was honestly surprised she'd kept quiet this long.
"I'm Amy, yeah. And we're here to buy food too, only Ell here won't let me buy anything except a ratty box of cereal because her parents are paying," she said.
I rolled my eyes, grinning.
"Oh yeah? Well, damn. Chosen a brand yet?" Bill asked, motioning to the wall of colorful, cardboard boxes on either side of us.
"Cap'n Crunch," Amy replied, grabbing the largest box in sight.
"Well we were actually aiming for Lucky Charms and Reese's Puffs," Sisky said, surprising me with his sudden outburst.
I looked at him and cracked a small smile, "You always liked Lucky Charms."
"Yeah," he replied, looking into my eyes, "yeah they're my favorite."
"As well as Fruit Gushers, but only the red kind," I said, not taking my eyes off him.
"I was addicted," he laughed.
"I almost had an intervention."
"That would've been interesting."
"Imagine Baby's reaction," I said quietly.
My heart felt like it was pumping either much too slowly, or too fast to even feel it, because I felt light headed and drowsy.
I hated that, even after all this time, he still had this effect on me.
I hated that after all this time, I knew I still loved the guy.

So this is the new story! Obviously, it's about my good friend, Adam T. Siska :D
The name is perfect, I do believe. I was surprised you didn't figure it out.
Things will get deeper and better explained, but this is just the first chapter.
Please comment if you like it, although you don't have much to go by yet. 
Much love;

I feel like I may be becoming an insomniac, hey, good news for you I guess. I will write more often, but shit as for me, because it's exam week.
Sorry for any typos I make. I do proff read, but it slips by unnoticed.

Mike -

I woke up to screaming. Immediatley jumping out of bed to investigate.
Turns out it was just Cass and Will messing around. FUCK THEM
"You guys suck" was all I could say. I had the worst hangover imaginable. I have no idea what happened last night. No idea. But i had a feeling it was fun, and I vagely remember kissing Cass in a game of truth or dare. I think so.

I groaned and collapsed onto the couch in the main lounge area. I saw Cassadee getting up in the corner of my eye, and making her way to the kitchen. Getting a giant jug out, and brewing enough coffee to serve to a whole refugee camp. Never had I loved a woman more than I loved Cass right now. I slip slowly off the couch, and army crawled to Cass' legs. Hugging them and refusing to let go unti lcofffe was ready.

I heard laughing and saw the rest of the bus watching. You know what? I dont even care. I just wanted coffee
"I NEED COFFEE" I yelled in defence.

William -

After our wonderful awakening, of not just Cass, but indeed the entire bus because of the squealing. Cass left to get dressed whilst I continued to snooze. Falling back to sleep very quickly. I even heard distant laughing in the kitchen, I was so far into my own world.

Cassadee -

"Where William?" I asked, once I had served everyone their coffees.
"Asleep again in his bunk" Adam winked at me. We both knew this meant revenge.
I sat ontop of Adam.
"What should I do?" I whispered. He shrugged at me. And I got up.
Headed to the freezer, discovering Icecubes. Filling up the now empty jug with water and ice.

Revenge is best served cold. And it's a bitch

I walked over to William, who was facing out the bunk, balancing the jug in my hands above his head, and I gained an audience around me, all wantign to see the awakening of WIlliam Beckett.



William -

I could sense someones presence, and it didn't seem good. I know they'd all be out for revenge.
I opened one eye to see Cass holding a jug of frezzing water above me. I moved fast, tackling her to the ground from my bunk, and cold water went of both of us.
"WILLLLLLL" she screamed, and I hugged her, to try and keep warm. Everyone was laughing, but atleast it was at us both, and not just me. Cass and I joined in the laughter.

I got up, and pulled her with me to the bathroom, so that we could dry off.

Once in there, I locked the door and pushed her up against the wall, Kissing her passionatley...

So, I have spent my weekend sick in bed. How lame. I was meant to go see ASM on sunday with mah beb Hailey. But that failed.
So, it's exam week, and i have a legal exam, but yet I am here writing this. Because pfft, who studies for legal? isnt it common sense. No, its not. But i dont care. I'm dropping it anyway. Sorry I didnt post for 2 days. I won't slip into a slack habit. Here it is yah bebs.
Claire.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cassadee -

Woah, today's show was just full of drama. Hayley getting violated. I wanted to see if she was alright. But she was in Elliots bunk with him. I didn't want to interupt anything.
All the Hey Monday guys, minus Elliot, had gone out drinking/stripclubbing. And as much as I love seeing chicks prance around in their underwear, I decided to give it a miss.
"I wonder if William stayed behind" I murmered to myself. But why would he? Didn't he initiate the idea? Yah, I'm pree sure that he did.
I was gonna go check anyway.

I stumbled quietly off our bus, as not to wake Hayley and Elliot. I made my way towards the TAI bus and knocked on the door.
I knocked again when I didnt get an answer, sometimes you just could hear the knock. I then heard someone moving inside the bus.
The door opened and there stood Will.
"Hey" I smiled
"Hi" He grinned back, grabbing my hand and pullign me onto the empty bus.
"I thought you were going stripclubbign with the guys" I said
"Awh dude. I wouldn't wanna see any chick in her underwear unless it was you" he claimed. I laughed, but it made me feel all wamr and tingly inside.

He sat down on the couch, and I went to make myself a drink in their kitchen.
"Do you want anything Will?" I called out.
"You" I heard behind me. I turned around to see him only a few inches away from me.
He moved forward, placing both his hands on the bench surface behind me. Pressing his stomach up against mine, and leaning slowly in.
I moved my face up to look at him, and our noses brushed. Then our lips. I felt tingles up my spin as he slipped his tounge into my mouth.
It felt so familiar to me. My bestfriend.

William suddenly grabbed my by the waist, and lifted me up bridal style. I laughed, and he smiled at me.
He carried me over to the lounge area, and lay me down on the couch, climbing ontop of me. We began to make out. Intensly.

William -

I was lying ontop of Cassadee. And we were making out. God it was good.
I suddenly started feeling very hormonal, damn my male genes.

She was laughing beneath me, because she could feel it too. I laughed with her.
I slid my hand up the back of her shirt. Picking up where we last left off, and she surprised me, and put her hands between my legs.
She knew exactly what I wanted. She truely was my best friend.

We continued on like this and then we rolled onto the floor. She laughed.
"Why must you always have me on the floor Mr. Beckett?"
I kissed her, and moaned into her mouth as she put her hand back between my legs. I had my hands under her shirt, with my hands on her chest. I kissed her neck makign me way down her chest. It was then we heard keys in the door, and srunken laughing.
"oh shet" i laughed, pulling her up, and into the buses bathroom.
We both sat on the fllor in there giggling.

"Okay, you go out first, and say hi to everybody, then Ill be out in a mintue, that way it doesn;t look like we're doing anythign fishy" i said
"okay cool, plan of attack" she winked. walking out of the bathroom, and greeting the drunk crowd.

I walked out a few minutes later. Walking into the lounge. where loud music was now playing. and all the dudes where drunkenly dancing.
Mike with some hoe he bought back.

Cassadee -

Oh gosh, these guys were oof their faces! I still joined in with the dancing, and Will soon found me and joined me. Everybody was so drunk, they wouldn't have noticed if Will and I were together or not, and it's not like we were hiding it. Everybody knew.

Soon enough, Will and I were grinding up against eachother in the middles of the floor. Then the music cut.



Adam -

Whoa, was I drunk. It was fun, whatever.
I cut the  music, and yelled
"WE ARE ALL PLAYING TRUTH OR DARE. THE END"
Everyone laughed. and we cleared as much space in the middle of the bus as possible and made a circle. I collected an empty bottle of whatever I was drinking. and put it in the middle.
Mikes drunk hoe 'laura' or something, puick up the bottle and spun it. Suprisingly it landed in Cass, It always landed on Cass.
"WOOOOO, Girl on girl action" the buthcer laughed. Cass Sighed, and leaned into kiss this drunk girl.
"Whoa, you taste like vodka" Cass stated, whilst both of the laughed.

This game continued way into the night. With so many people making out. Best idea I have ever had...

THE NEXT DAY

William -

I woke up and Cass was in my bunk with me, she must not have gone back to her bus last night.
I decided I would like to wake her up in an evil way, So i slowly put my hands on her ribs. AND TICKLED.


Cassadee - 

I woke up to William tickling me. I squealed, and then yelled
"GET OFF ME YOU DICK!" whilst laughing.

The curtain was pulled open, and I saw a probably still drunk Mike looking in at us. With sterly eyes.
"You guys suck" he said.

Today was gonna be fun messing with them all...

Although this is only chapter 4 I can proudly say that I'm loving where this story is going. To all that read it, THANK YOU! I'm not sure how many chapters there's going to be but I can promise you that I will at least write up until after the Bogus Journey tour. Now, CHAPTER 4 OF UNEXPECTED PLACES!

__________________________________________________________________________________________

The ride to the hotel was...different from what the guys were used to. First, Sisky was not being obnoxious and annoying like he always is. Instead, he was a bit quiet since he was listening to Lily talk and only speaking when prompted. Second, William (or anyone else for that matter) wasn’t yelling at Sisky to shut the fuck up; this was mostly due to the fact that he and Victoria were deep in conversation. They don't even notice when someone else in the van looks back at them and gives them a look.

After arriving at the hotel, William and Sisky decided to show the girls to their room.

“We’re right next to you girls, ok?” Sisky said.

“So if you need anything just go ahead and knock,” William said then he and Sisky left.

After the two guys had left the room, Victoria collapsed onto her bed. She saw Lily do the same out of the corner of her eye. Victoria turned her head so she could see her friend and said, “Are we the luckiest girls ever or what?”

“Hell yeah!” Lily said, grinning at her friend.

Later that night there was a knock on their door. Lily got up from her bed and went to answer it. She let out a gasp and quickly returned to where the beds were.

“What’s wrong?” Victoria asked, getting up from her bed.

“Well, um…uh….” Lily fumbled.

Victoria let out a sigh and went to answer the door. She opened it and was shocked to see William and Sisky standing there. She took one look at them and saw that they were dressed up a bit. She then took a moment to look herself over. Victoria was wearing her favorite blue striped pajamas and fuzzy slippers.

“Hey Tori, we were wondering if you and Lily would like to join us for dinner?” William asked as Sisky tried to suppress a chuckle.

Victoria shot Sisky a deathly glare before looking at William. “Sure,” she said, smiling. “Just give us like….30 minutes?”

“Sure,” he said, returning the smile. “See you in half an hour girls.” Then he and Sisky returned to their own room.

Victoria closed the door then ran over to her friend.

“Get dressed,” Victoria ordered. “Now.”

After the girls were ready for their “date” the boys came back and were surprised at how amazing the two girls looked.

“Well?” Victoria asked.

“You look….wow,” William breathed.

Victoria giggled then stepped forward and entwined her arm with his. William gladly obliged then looked at his friend and said, “Shall we?” Sisky nodded and offered his arm to Lily, who gladly took it. The two couples then proceeded to make their way to the elevator then down to the hotel restaurant.

The couples sat across from each other (Victoria across from William and Lily across from Sisky) and talked as they waited to order. Victoria and Lily found out that William and Sisky had known each other since William was 15 and Sisky was 13. It shocked them a bit but it also made the girls understand their relationship more.

“So how long have you two known each other?” Sisky asked, sipping on his soda since he was too young to drink.

“Hmm…..about, what? Since I was 17 and you were 15?” Victoria asked.

“Yeah, that sounds about right,” Lily agreed.

“So you two are also two years apart?” William asked, intrigued.

“Yup,” Lily said. “Actually, Tori is the same age as you William and I’m the same age as you Sisky.”

“Oh really?” the boys asked in unison.

“Yes,” Victoria said. “Lily’s birthday is actually two months after yours Sisky.”

“Yeah?” Sisky asked as he looked at Lily.

“Yup. So you’re older than me by two months,” Lily said, smiling.

Sisky grinned then said, “Good to know. Can’t wait to use that against you later.”

Lily smirked at the boy in front of her and said, “I’d like to see you try.”

William and Victoria laughed at their friends. Since the first night they met, Sisky and Lily seemed to always want to one up the other. It was fun to watch and the couple seemed to have fun trying to figure out how to one up the other.

After dinner the couples decided to go for a walk, and after a few minutes of walking together as a group, Sisky and Lily decided to part ways with William and Victoria for a bit. The older couple made no protest and waved good bye to their friends.

After walking around aimlessly for a bit, William found a bench and he and Victoria sat down on it. At first, it was uncomfortable between them, but when Victoria looked up at William, she couldn’t help but get lost in his beautiful brown eyes.

“Victoria,  I like you,” William began. “Like, really like you and um…w…well I g..guess w..what I’m t…t..trying to say is –“

“William, it would be an honor to be your girlfriend,” Victoria said, smiling up at the stuttering boy in front of her.

William’s face lit up suddenly and he returned the smile. It wasn’t until their noses were touching that Victoria realized that they had slowly been moving towards each other. When their lips met, fireworks, bells, and whistles went off. It felt like the night at the pizza parlor….had that really only been the day before?

After the kiss, the couple grinned at each other then laughed. They now shared a sort of secret joke. It was theirs and no one else’s.

“Shall we head back to the hotel now?” William asked.

“I suppose so,” Victoria replied.

William stood up then extended his hand to her. Victoria took it and William pulled her up. He held her next to him the rest of the walk back to the hotel. Victoria loved the way she just seemed to fit right into William’s arms and side, like they were meant to be. William loved the way Victoria’s skin seemed to brush against his. He also loved the way she just seemed to fit right in his arms. It made him smile the entire walk back to the hotel.

(Will's Pov)

We were driving around looking for Allie when Sara's phone started ringing.  She looked at her phone and told me it was Lisa her assistant.  I nodded and she answered the phone.  I looked at her ever once in a while and she was still talking on the phone then her eyes went wide.  Her hands started shaking and I grabbed her free hand and gently squeezed it.  She pulled the phone away from her ear and she hung up the phone.  She threw the phone in the backseat and screamed.

"What's the matter?"  I asked

"Drive to the Conowingo dam."  She said

I nodded. 

"Is that where Allie is?"  I asked

She looked at me and nodded.

"We better hurry."  She said

I stepped on the gas and went faster.  As I was driving Sara was telling me everything that she knew about what happen and was going on.  We got to the dam and we got out of the van. What I saw broke my heart Allie was sitting on the rocks next to the flood gates but she was tied up.  I far as I could tell she was.  I looked over at Sara and she had her hand up to her mouth.  I ran over to her and wrapped her in my arms.  I hugged her then I kissed her.

"Let's go get her."  I said

Sara nodded and pulled out her phone.

"What are you doing?"  I asked her

"Calling the cops."  She said

I nodded.  She told them everything then she hung up her phone.  I grabbed her hand and we started to ran over to the dam when Adam yelled my name. I turned around and saw the guys running over to us.

"How did you know where to find us?"  I asked

"We been following you."  Adam said

I nodded.

"We want to help."  Mike said

I looked at Sara and she nodded.

"Okay,here is what we do."  I said

I told them what to do and they spit up.  I grabbed Sara's hand and we ran over to the dam.  I turned Sara so she faced me.

"You go and get Allie then you run.  Don't look back and keep running don't stop for anything."  I told her.

If there was any chance of saving Allie then I was going to take that chance.  I looked at Sara who had tears in her eyes.  I wiped them away and kissed her.  She kissed back and we kissed for awhile then I pulled away.

"Will,I.."  She started to say but I interrupted her.

"I love you too.  Now go and get Allie."  I said

She nodded.  She kissed me once more then started walking down the stairs.  I turned my head and saw Mike standing there.  I ran over to him and started beating the hell out of him.

(Sara's Pov)

I got half way down the stairs when someone grabbed me by my hair and pulled me back.  They started to pulled me back up the stairs by my hair and I struggled.  I try scratching their hand with my nails but it didn't work.

"Let me go!"  I yelled.

I heard a girl laugh and I automatically knew who it was.  It was Katie.

"No, in about 5 minutes the flood gates will open and your daughter will drown."  She said

I don't know how I did it but I got free.  I turned around and started hitting her.  I kept on hitting her then I heard the alarm signaling that the flood gates were opening.  Katie laughed and I punch her.  She fell and was unconscious.  I smiled.

"Leave my family alone."  I said

I turned around and ran down the stairs.  I ran over the rocks to were Allie was.  She was under the water.  I drove under the water and saw her.  I grabbed her and I swim back up to shore.  I got on the rocks and carried Allie further up so that the water couldn't reach us.  I looked at her and she was tried up.  She had tape across her eyes and mouth.  I laid her down and she started screaming through the tape.

"Sh, It's okay.  It's me mommy."  I said soothly.

I took the tape off and started untying her.

"Mommy?"  She asked

"Yes baby. It's me."

I finished untying her then I took the tape off her eyes.  She blinked a few time then she jumped on me.  She hugged me tightly.

"I missed you mommy."  She said

I rubbed her back and hugged her back.  I kissed her forehead.

"I missed you too sweetie."

I got up and placed her on my hip. I walked back up the stairs and stepped over Katie.  I walked on the dam and looked over at Will who was finishing off Mike. He saw me and smiled.  I heard a gun shot then Will went down and then the dam collapsed.  Some of the dam landing on Will.

"Will!!!"  I screamed out.

Mike couldn't move cause a large piece of the dam was on his leg.  He smiled at me.  I felt a hand on my arm and it was pulling me away.  I turned around and saw Adam was pulling me over to the car.  I let him take me over to the ambulance that was standing by.  I felt the tears coming down my face.  William was dead and I didn't save him.  The paramedic wrapped me and Allie in a blanket.  They checked us over and said that we were fine.  I rubbed Allie's back and watched as the police took Mike and Katie away.  They put them in the back of their car and drove off.  A police man walked over to me.

"Hi Mrs.Beckett,can you tell me what happen?"

I told him everything and he wrote it down.

"You have to save my husband."  I said with tears going down my face.

"Ma'am we're moving the pieces right now." He said

I nodded.  He walked away.  I looked at the dam and didn't understand how it fell apart.  I watched as they lifted pieces of the rumble and threw it to the side.  Tears were streaming down my face and I held Allie tighter to me. 

"Can they leave?"  I heard someone asked

"Yes, they can."

I just kept watching the firefighters moving pieces of the dam and throwing them aside.  I felt a hand on my arm.

"Come on Sara."  Adam said

I shook my head no.  I was going to stay and see if they got Will out.  I wasn't ready to leave yet.  I wanted to stay until they got him out.

"Come on.  They will call you when they get William and besides you and Allie will freeze."  Adam said

I didn't realized until now that Adam was right.  I was shriving and Allie was asleep cause she was so cold.  Adam put his hand on my arm and started pulling me to the van.  I didn't fight him.  I just let him led me to the van.  I climbed inside and sat down in the backseat.  I held Allie not caring that she was supposed to be in a car seat.  I let the tears come down not bothering to wiped them away.

(Adam's Pov)

I started the van and started driving back to the hotel.  I looked in the rear view mirror to see Sara was holding Allie tightly against her and crying.  I couldn't even imagine what she was going through.  She lost the only person she ever loved.  Her and Will have been together for a long time and they were made for each other.  I watched as she started to fall asleep.  I looked at the clock and it was 8 o'clock at night.  Sara has been through a lot and I was glad that she was getting some sleep.

"I can't believe what happen."  Mike said

"Me either."  I said

"So what do we do now?"  Andy asked

"I don't know but we need to cancel the tour."  I said

"Already done."  Michael said

I nodded.  I pulled up at the hotel and we all got out of the van.  I walked over to the door.

"Hand me Allie."  I said

Mike handed Allie to me while he took Sara.  We walked into the hotel and went straight to Sara's room.  Mike handed me the keycard and I slide it in the slot.  I opened the door and walked inside.  I walked to the bedroom and sat Allie down on the bed.  I got her pajamas out of her bag.  I took her wet clothes off and I dried her off a bit then I put her pajamas on.  I threw her wet clothes on the floor and I picked her up.  I laid her down on the bed and tucked her in.

"Mommy."  She said tiredly.

"No,it's Adam."  I said

"Mommy."

She kept saying mommy so I picked her up and took her to the other bed where Sara was sleeping.  I laid Allie down next to her and tucked her in.

"Mr.Duckie."  She said

"Right here." Mike said placing it next to her.

I was glad that we had Allie with us and that she was safe and sound.  We walked out of the room quietly and I shut the door.

"Let's stay here for tonight then we go home in the morning."  Andy said

I turned around and looked at him.

"I agree but we have to convince Sara to go home through."  I said

Everyone nodded.

"Let's get our stuff."  Michael said

We all nodded.  We all left and got our stuff then came back to Sara's room.  We all put our stuff on the floor and we all found a place to sleep.  I got my sleeping bag and laid it on the floor.  I climbed inside and fell asleep.

(Will's Pov)

Anger was building up inside me.  Not one doctor has come out and told me about Sara.  I worried sick about her and I was worried about Allie too.  I wanted to know how Sara was doing and if she was okay but I couldn't get a freaking doctor to talk to me.  I looked around and everyone was here waiting for some information on Sara.  I got up and looked around.

"Bill,where are you going?"  Adam asked

I looked at him.

"I'm going to look for a damn doctor." I replied.

He nodded.  I started walking until I found a doctor.  I walked up to him and tap his shoulder.  He turned around.

"Can I help you?"  He asked

"Yes, I want to know how my wife is."  I said

"Name?"

"Sara Beckett."  I said

He nodded and turned around.  He pulled out a clipboard and he faced me.  He looked through the papers on the clipboard.  He kept flipping through the pages and it was driving me insane.

"Aw,yes."  He said

"What?"  I asked curious.

He looked at me and smiled.

"Your wife is fine and is breathing on her own now."  He said

"Can I see her?"

"Sure. Room 165."  He said

I nodded.  I thanked him and walked away.  I walked past the guys in the waiting room and went to her room.  I opened the door and walked in.  Sara was lying in bed sleeping peacefully.  I smiled and walked over to her.  I stroked her hair and kissed her forehead.  I looked at her and she had a purple bruise on her neck.  I lightly touched it and she moved.  I moved my hand and sat down in the chair next to her bed. 

(Sara's Pov)

I woke up to someone talking.  I opened my eyes and I was in the hospital.  I felt a hand in mine and I looked around.  I saw Will and he was talking to the police.  I remember what happen and I felt tears coming to my eyes.  My beautiful baby girl was gone and I was probably never going to see her again.  I wiped the tears away.

"Will."  I whispered.

My throat was sore and it kinda hurt to talk.  He turned around and stood up.  He kissed me and stoke my hair.

"Hey."  He said

"Hey."

He kept stroking my hair.

"Did you find Allie?"  I asked

He looked at me and shook his head.

"No,but the police are looking for her."  He said

I nodded.

"Can I have some water please?"  I asked

He nodded.  He poured me a cup and handed it to me.  I took a drink and shallow it.  It kinda hurt to shallow it.  I winced and put the cup down on the table.

"Throat hurt?"  Will asked

"Yea."

The doctor came in and check me out.

"Mrs.Beckett,you can go when ever your ready." He said

I nodded.  He unhooked the machines from me and walked out of the room.  I scooted to the side of the bed and slowly climbed off the bed.  Will held out his hands but I refused to take them.  I got down and Will pointed to a bag in the chair next to him.  I walked over to my bag and got some clothes.  I walked into the bathroom and changed.  I walked back out and walked over to my bag.  I got my brush and brushed my hair. I put my hair into a messy bun then I put my brush back in my bag.  I put my shoes on and zipped my bag shut.  I grabbed my bag and put it over my shoulder.

"Let's go so we can find Allie."  I said

Will nodded.  He got up and walked over to me.  He took my hand in his and we walked out of the hospital.  We got into a cab and went back to the hotel.  We got there and got out.  We walked inside still holding hands and we went to the elevator.  He pushed the up button and the door opened.  We walked inside and he pushed the button to our floor.  The door opened and we walked out.  We walked to our room the room where I last saw Allie.  The room I almost died in and the room were some psychos took my baby.  Will slid the keycard in the slot and opened the door.  We walked in and I walked to the bedroom.  As I walked into the room I step on something.  I looked down to see Allie's stuff duck.  She never went anywhere with out it and it was her favorite stuff animal.  I bent down and picked it up.  I threw my bag on the bed and held the duck close to my chest. Mr.Ducky is what Allie called him and it suited him.  The duck was yellow with a black suit and red tie.  He had a top hat that had a red rose sticking to the side.  Mr. Ducky had one eye missing cause Allie bit it off when she was 2.  I remember giving her this duck.

~Flashback~

I had already gave birth to her and was holding her in my arms.  I looked at Will and he was staring at Allie.  I looked at Allie and she opened her eyes.

"Aww,she opened her eyes."  Will said

I smiled.  She had Will's eyes and they were beautiful.

"Can you hand me her duck? It's in my bag."  I asked Will.

"Sure thing."

He walked over to my bag and pulled out the duck.  He walked over to me and handed me the duck. I started playing with Allie and she smiled.  I showed her the duck and made it give her a kiss.

"Can I hold her?"  Will asked

I nodded.  I handed Allie to him and he gently rocked her.  He smiled at her and started to walked over to the door.

"Where are you going?"  I asked him with a smile on my face.

He looked at me and smiled.

"I am going to show our bundle of joy to everyone out there in the waiting room."  He said proudly.

I laughed.

"They are going to be jealous of you."  I teased.

"Good.  I want them to be jealous."

I laughed.  He walked out the door and I fell asleep.

~End of Flashback~

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Will putting his arm around me.

"It will be okay."  He said

I nodded.  We got up and walked out the room.  We got to the lobby and walked out of the hotel.  We got into a car and started driving. I told him everything that happen.

(Will's Pov)

I watched as Sara tucked Allie into bed.  We just got back from eating dinner and Allie fell asleep on the way here.  Sara kissed Allie's forehead and walked out of the room.  She shut the door and I wrapped my arms around her.  She leaned into me and sighed.  We were now in Maryland.  I kissed Sara on the cheek and we walked over to the couch.  We sat down and Sara snuggled up to me.  I smiled and turned the tv on.  Our favorite show The Notebook was on and we watched it.  I was glad that she was here and that Allie was better. 

"Your really good with Allie."  I whispered in Sara's ear.

She turned towards me and smiled.

"Thanks."

"Your welcome."

I couldn't resist anymore.  She looked so pretty with the light from the tv glowing on her face.  I leaned my head down and kissed her.  She kissed back and pretty soon a make out session was starting.  Sara pulled away and she had a big smiled on her face.

"Allie."  Is all she had I to say to stop me for going any further.

We wouldn't want little Allie catching us.  I wouldn't even know what to say if she saw us making out.  I knew Sara wouldn't know either so it was best to stop making out if Allie was home.  After the movie we got our pajamas on then we crawled into bed.  I wrapped my arms around her and she snuggled closer to me.  I was glad that we worked things out and I missed the feeling of her body close to mine.  I missed holding her in my arms and I missed holding her in my arms while comforting her.  Everything was working out and that's how I wanted it.  I kissed Sara on the cheek and went to sleep.

(Sara's Pov)

I woke up to someone knocking on the door.  I looked at the clock and it was 11:30 in the morning.  I turned my head and Will wasn't in bed.  I rolled over and I saw a note on the nightstand.  Dear Sara, I'm sorry I wasn't there when you woke up but I had an interview I had to go to.  I forgot about it and I am sorry but when I get back me,you and Allie are going out.  So be ready.  I should be back at 12 in the afternoon. 

                                                                                       Love,

                                                                                     Will

I smiled to myself and threw the note away. I looked over at Allie and she was still asleep.  The knocking got louder so I got up and quietly walked out of the bedroom. I shut the door and went to the door that led inside.  I opened the door and immediately a plastic bag was over my head.  They tied the bag to my head.  I couldn't breath and I was struggling to breath.  I put my hands to the bag and tried to rip a hole in it so I could breath.

"Oh, no you don't Sara." A girl said

She grabbed my hands and tied them up.

"I'll go get Allie."  A guy said.

I recognized the guy's voice.  It was Mike and he found us.  I didn't know who the girl was but apparently she was working for Mike or with Mike. She threw me on the floor and grabbed me by the back of my hair.

"Sorry, I had to do this Sara but you understand. This is the only way I could get Will back.  Sorry you won't see your kid grow up but I will take good care of her." She said then let my hair go.  My face hit the floor.

I was angry and I was trying to untie my hands but it was no use. The girl laughed.  I heard a door opened.  I couldn't really see through the bag because everything was blurry.

"Mommy!!"  Allie said

I started to fight to get the ropes off of me but I couldn't get them off.

"Say bye to your daughter." Mike said

I toss and turned but the ropes was not loosening up.  They laughed and left.  I closed my eyes and tried to slow down my breathing.  I thought about mine and Will's wedding day.

~Flashback~

I walked down the aisle and my eyes locked on Will.  He looked so handsome in his tux.  His tux was black with a white shirt and a blue vest.  He smiled at me and I smiled back.  I looked at all the people that were standing up for me and my smiled got bigger.  I finally reached Will and he took my hand. We walked up the 3 little steps and looked into each others eyes.  He pulled my veil back so he could see my blue eyes.  The priest began then soon enough he sighted the vows.

"Do you William Eugene Beckett Jr. take Sara Nicole Lee to be your lawful wedded wife?"  He asked Will.

"I do."  He said

The priest asked me the same thing.

"I do."

"By the power invested in me and the stated of Chicago I pronounced you husband and wife.  You may kiss the bride."  He said

Will pulled me closer to me and kissed me.  I kissed him back.  We walked out of the church and got into the limo.  We got to the reception and we started dancing.  We cut the cake after a while.  After everything was done we got back to the limo and it drove us to the airport.

~End of Flashback~

My flashback was interrupted by Will calling my name.  I kept my eyes closed and I felt my head being lift then place down.

"Someone get the scissors!!"  He yelled

I kept my eyes closed and breath really slowly.  It was getting harder to breath now but I had to hang on. I needed to save Allie and I needed to be there for Will.

"I go see if Allie is here." I heard Mike say.

"Hang on Sara."  Will said

"Is she still alive?"  Adam said

"Barely."  Will said

I couldn't breath much longer and I could feel my eyes get heavy.  I tried to open my eyes but they wouldn't opened.  I heard Will curse and yelled for the scissors then call 911. I felt my body relax and it got harder to breath.

"Hang on Sara.  Help is coming."  Will said

(Will's Pov)

Sara's body went limp and she stopped breathing.  Andy came and gave me the scissors.  I cut the plastic tie that was around the bag.  I put the scissors down on the floor and I took the bag off of Sara's head.  I felt for a pulse and she didn't have one.  I laid her on the floor and started cpr.  I kept begging her to wake up.  I kept the cpr going and I kept checking for a pulse.  I finally felt a pulse but it was weak.  She needed to go to the hospital.  I held her in my arms and kiss the top of her head.  The paramedics arrived and they loaded her on a stretcher.  I watched as they put a tube down her throat and I followed them out the door.  I got in the ambulance and held her hand all the way there.  I told the paramedic what happen and he wrote it down.  We got there and I helped them unload her.  We rushed inside and the paramedic told the doctor what happen.  They rolled her into a room and made me go wait in the waiting room.  I didn't know what happen but I wanted to know.  I wanted to kill whoever did this to her.  I just hope she remember what happen.  I waited for hours and nobody was telling me anything.  I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. Sara and Allie were my life besides the band and I wouldn't know what to do if something happen to Allie and Sara.  The guys came and sat down next to me.

"We talked to the cops and they will find Allie for you."  Adam said

I looked at him confused.  I thought Allie was with them safe and sound.

"What?"  I asked.

He sighed.

"Allie wasn't there or anywhere in the hotel."  Mike said

I couldn't believe someone kidnapped my baby girl.  Mine little angel was missing and I didn't even notice that she wasn't there.  I should have made sure she was there but Sara needed me.   She would have died if I didn't help her.  I shouldn't be shooting myself for saving Sara before I looked for Allie should I? 

"I thought she was with one of you."  I said

Adam put a hand on my shoulder.

"It will be alright.  The police will find her."  He reassured me.

I nodded.  It was my fault that she got kidnapped and my fault that Sara ended up in the hospital.  I laid my head back and sighed.  I was going to save Allie when I found out that Sara was okay and after I see her.

(Adam's Pov)

We all were sitting on the couch on the bus. I could see or feel the tension that Will and Sara had created.  Sara had Allie on her lap and Allie was telling her about what happen the other day.  I could see that William didn't want her to know that Katie was around him and Allie but he couldn't stop Allie from talking.  Allie was moving her little arms when she talked and it was cute.  William always moved his arms when he talked so she took after him.  Allie looked just like him only she had Sara's eye and face shape.  I couldn't believe how much time has went by but time flies when your touring and or in Will's case taking care of a kid and a wife.  I guess him and Sara were having problems.  Hopefully they would work it out before something bad happen.  I'm not saying something bad will happen but they needed to work out their problems before they got worst.  All of a sudden Sara looked up.  She looked at me and smiled.  I smiled back at her.  She put Allie down and she ran to the back lounge.  Will got the paper off the table and started reading it.  Sara pulled her book out of her bag and started reading it.  They needed sometime alone so they could talk and I knew how to get them alone.  I leaned over and told Mike that we needed to take Allie somewhere so they could talk.  He agreed.  He told the other guys.  The bus stopped at the hotel and we all got our stuff.  We walked off the bus and checked into the hotel.  We got our room keys and put our stuff in our room.  I was in my room when there was a knock on my door.  I opened to see Andy,Mike,Michael standing there.  I let them in and we all sat down on the couch.

"So,Adam where do we take Allie?"  Mike asked

I haven't thought of it.

"I don't know.  Maybe the zoo?"

They all nodded.  We talked about it some more before we got up and walked out of my room.  We walked to Will's and Sara's room and knocked on the door.  Sara opened the door.

"Hey guys."  She said

"Hey."  We all said back.

We walked in and sat down on the couch.  Will was no where to be seen and Allie was playing with her duck on the floor.  Sara sat down and looked at us.

"So,what's up?"

I made a motion for Mike to take Allie somewhere and he got up.  He picked her up and took her into the bedroom.

"Sara,we know you and will are having problems.  You guys need to sort it out before it gets worst."  I said

She looked shock that we knew and tears started to come down her face.  She wiped them away.  I expected her to denied that her and Will were having problems but she surprised me.

"Thanks Adam, so were are you guys taking Allie?"

"The zoo."  Michael replied.

She nodded.

"Okay,let me get her ready."  She said

"Where is Will?"  I asked her.

She shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know."

She got up and went to the bedroom.  Mike came out and walked over to us.

"So,are we taking her?"  I asked her.

We all nodded.  I pulled out my phone and dialed Will. The phone rung 4 time before he answered.

"Get your butt back to you hotel room."  I said

"Why?  Is there something wrong with Sara or Allie?" He asked worried.

I smiled.  They had a chance.  He stilled love her and Allie. Not that he wouldn't but I was glad to know that the damage hasn't gotten too bad.

"No, you and Sara need to talk and we are taking Allie for the day."  I said

"Okay. I be there in 5 minutes." He said

"Bye."

I hung my phone and put it back in my pocket.  Sara came out of the bedroom with Allie.  Allie had on some blue jean shorts,a pink shirt with a duck on it.  She had on her white Dora sandals and she had her sparkling Dora sunglasses on her face.  She had her duck in her hand.

"She's already."  Sara said

Allie walked over to me and I grabbed her hand.  We all said goodbye to Sara and we left.

(Sara's Pov)

I sat down on the couch.  The guys took Allie to the zoo so me and Will could talk.  I waited for Will and he finally showed up.  He took his sunglasses off and put them in his pocket.  He walked over to me and sat down.  He looked at me and I was waiting for him to talk.

"Where did they take Allie?"  He asked

"The zoo."

"So, I guess the talking starts now?"

I laughed.  We were bad about talking about our problems but I was wheeling to try if he was.  I sighed.

"I don't know what happen between us but I want to work it out and I guess the guys think we do need to work out our problems."

He nodded.

"Look Sara, I'll start.  I'm sorry.  I'm sorry for not being home more often and leaving you for months at a time.  I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about Katie hanging out with me and Allie the other day and I'm sorry you found out from Allie.  To be honest I am sorry about everything." He said then took a breath.

I nodded.

"I'm sorry for working all the time.  I'm sorry for not being there when Allie got sick. I'm sorry that you have to Allie all through your tour. I'm sorry that I am a bad mom."

"Your not a bad mom and I don't mind taking Allie with me.  She can come anytime she wants and to tell you the true I thought you wanted a break from her.  I guess you was scared to stay with Allie alone."

I never thought about that.  I guess I was scared of staying with her but Will left me with her all the time.  I guess I was just a little afraid.

"I never thought about that.  I guess I was but you left me with her lots of times."

He laughed.

"Yea but not for long periods of times plus you always got someone to babysit her so you wouldn't have to watch her." 

I nodded.

"That true but I want to change that."  I said

He nodded.

"I'll help you."

I nodded.  We talked some more and the tension between cleared.  Will wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.  I kissed him back and he ran his hand through my hair then down my back.  I wrapped my arms his neck and kissed him back.

(Will's Pov)

I woke up to a knocking on the door.  I got up out of bed and looked over at Sara who was asleep.  I was glad we work things out.  I walked out of the room and went to the door.  I opened the door and the guys were standing there.

"Hi daddy!"  Allie said hugging my leg.

I laughed and scooped her up.  I let the guys in and shut the door.  We walked over to the couch and sat down. I put Allie on my lap and she started to tell me all that she did.  She had a ball at the zoo and I was glad the guys took her out.  She needed to get somewhere and let out all that extra energy.  Allie got up and went into the bedroom.  I looked at the guys and they smiled at me.

"Did you work out your problems?"  Adam asked me.

"Yea."  I said smiling.

They looked at each other and gave each other knowing nods.  They turned back to me.

"Good."  Mike said

"Allie wasn't causing trouble was she?"  I asked

"No. She was very good."  Mike said

I nodded.  The bedroom door opened and Sara walked out with Allie on her hip.  She saw me and smiled.  I smiled at her and she walked over to the couch then sat down.  I wrapped my arm around her and kissed her cheek.

(Sara's pov)

"Mommy?"  I heard Allie said

I opened my eyes and saw that Allie was sitting up in bed.  I stood up slowly so I wouldn't wake up Will. I walked over to her bed and she jumped into my arms.  I caught her and she buried her head in my neck.

"Sweetie,you shouldn't jump.  Mommy wasn't ready to catch you."  I told her.

She took her head out of my neck and looked at me.

"Sorry.  I'm glad your here."  She said then kissed my cheek.

I smiled and ran my hand through her hair.

"Me too.  I missed you a whole bunch."  I told her.

I kissed her forehead and try to lay her back down but she wouldn't let go of my neck.

"Allie, you need to laid down."  I said

"Laid down with me please."  She said

I sighed and laid down on the bed.  I laid her beside me.

"Where's my duck?"  She asked

I looked around the room and I didn't see her duck anywhere.  It was probably on the bus so I pulled out my phone and texted Adam.  I told him when he comes here to bring it.  He told me he would.  I put my phone back in my pocket and Allie put her head on my chest.  I stoked her hair and her eyes started to close.

"Your duck is on the bus but Adam will bring it when he comes."  I told her.

She nodded.  I looked at the clock and it was 6:30 in the morning.  I stroke her hair until she fell asleep.  I pulled the blanket over us and I fell asleep.  I woke up to someone stoking my arm.  I opened my eyes and Allie was laying on my arm.  She had my hand in her arms and had it against her face.  I smiled.  I felt someone stroking my arm again and I turned over.  I about fell onto the floor but was caught before I hit the ground.  I looked up to see William and he was holding me bridal style.

"Sorry,are you okay?" He asked me.

I laughed a little.

"Yea,now that you caught me."   I said

He laughed.  He carried me over to the chair and sat down with me on his lap. He put one hand on my leg and the other around my waist so I wouldn't fall off.  I still had my arms wrapped around his neck.  I looked at him and he smiled at me.  He stroked my cheek.  I took my hair out of the ponytail then ruffled it.  I put my hair tie on my wrist and I put my arm back around his neck.  It felt good to be in his arms again and I was glad I got off work for a couple of weeks.  I was going to spend as much time as I could with them.  Will moved my hair behind my ears and I smiled.  I nuzzled my head into his neck and he stoked my arm.

"What happen to us?"  He asked me suddenly.

I raised my head and looked at him.

"What do you mean?"  I asked him.

He sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

I didn't know what he meant.  I thought we were fine but I guess we wasn't.

"You seem kinda distant lately and you never want to stay home with us anymore."  He said

"Are you telling me that I don't love you and Allie?"  I asked him.

I felt the tears and Will wiped them away.  I looked down at the floor and noticed that Will didn't have any shoes on. I wanted laugh but I didn't.  Will grabbed my chin and raised up so I looked at him.

"I'm not saying that.  I'm just saying that we used to be all over each other and you use to stay home all the time but you just stopped it all together.  I know you love me and Allie but we need you too."

He sighed.

"I guess.."  He stopped probably cause he didn't know what to say.

The tears rolled down my cheeks and I wiped them away.  He was right. I was kinda of neglecting them.  I didn't know what to say but I knew I want to work it out with him and with Allie.  They mean everything to me and I would do anything for them.  William wiped the tears off my face and kissed me.  I kissed him back and he started to stroke my arms.  We kissed for awhile then I remember Allie and I pulled away.  He looked confused.

"Allie."  I whispered.

He moved his head so he could see behind me.

"Still asleep."  He said

I nodded.

"I want to work it out with you and Allie."  I told him.

He nodded.

(Will's Pov)

I want to work it out with her and Allie too.  We been married for 7 years now and it seemed like our marriage was falling apart.  I guess it was partially my fault.  I should have stayed home more and helped Sara with Allie.  Sara got off me and headed towards the door.

"Where are you going?"  I asked her.

"To get some coffee.  Do you want one?"

I nodded.  She left and I looked at Allie.  She was still asleep and I was glad that she didn't see me and Sara making out.  I wouldn't know what to tell her if she saw us.  I sighed and Adam walked in the door with Allie's stuff duck.

"Hey."  I said

"Hey.  How is she?" He asked

"Fine."

He nodded.  He walked over to her bed and laid her duck next to her.  She turned around and opened her eyes a little.

"Mommy?"'

Adam laughed and looked at me.  I walked over to Allie.

"Mommy went to get something to drink."  I told her.

She nodded.  She grabbed her duck and held it tightly to  her.

"Thanks Uncle Adam."  She said

"Your welcome kiddo."

He turned around to looked at me.

"Does she get to leave today?"  He asked

"I think so."

"Good cause we got to go to Washington and we will be staying at a hotel for a couple of days." He said

I nodded.  I stoked Allie's hair and she smiled.  I smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Do you feel better?"  I asked her.

She nodded.

"Yea. Tummy hurts."

"I know it will for awhile but then you will be all better."  I said

She nodded.  The door opened and Sara walked in with our coffee.  She smiled at me and I smiled back.  She walked over to me and handed me my coffee.  I took a sip.

"Mommy."  Allie said

Sara smiled and broke our stare by looking at Allie.  She walked over to her.

"I'm here sweetie."  She said

I turned around and looked at them. Allie held her little arms out and Sara picked her up.  The door opened and the rest of the guys came in.  They all had something for Allie.  Mike had a stuff bear,Michael had a barbie doll with a toy car,Andy had a coloring book with crayons.  They walked over to Allie and handed her all the gifts they got her.  She thanked them and started coloring.  The door opened again a few minutes later and the doctor walked in.  He released Allie so everyone gather the stuff they brought and walked back to the bus with it.  Sara picked Allie up and we walked back to the bus.
