~Gerards POV~
Victoria was gone and I heard blood curtailing screaming. I bolted trying to look for Victoria and I couldn't loose her again. They guys were following behind me and then I found her in the alley way being attacked by some man. Frank punched him in the back of the head as he fell to the ground. Mikey picked up Victoria and she started to freak out. I picked the guys up off the floor and backed him into a corner before I started to scream at him. Frank strayed to punch and beat him violently while Ray tried to get him to stop.
"FRANK! STOP!" Ray screamed trying to get a hold of Frank.
"No! If he messes with Victoria he messes with me!" He replied before throwing another punch.
Ray and I grabbed his shoulders and started to pull him back but he kept trying to get back to him. The guys on the ground quickly got up and ran away. We let go of Frank and we all ran over to the little shaking ball that was Victoria. I kind of pushed everyone out of he way of her, I didn't really mean to but it just kinda happend. Her hair was all over and her shoulders were exposed through the torn dress. I wrapped my arms around her rocking her slightly as I had her in my arms. I lifted up her face and her face was puffy and red and she had mascara stained cheeks she also had a huge red mark on the side of her face. Her eyes showed her fear and they were terrorizing to look at. I wrapped myself around her once more. I looked at her shoulders and collar bone. She had cuts all over them. Why didn't she tell me about this, what could make her do this?
"I must be the worst dad ever, I'm so sorry this happened and I can understand if your mad at me. I'm mad at me too." I whispered trying to hold back tears.
"I don't hate you. I just want to get home" She choked out.
"Okay." She pulled her dress back up and I carried my scared and crying daughter into the bus. I sat her down on the couch and she scooted into the corner to hide. "Can you talk to us?" I asked but she didn't hesitate and shook her head. "Well were here if you need us." She looked up at me then threw her arms around my neck and quietly cried into my chest. I started to rock slowly and hum songs to her because that always had calmed her down ever since she was a baby. Victoria had called asleep so I carried her to her bed and lied her down covering her up and closing the curtain. I went back into the Kitchen and searched the fridge. I pulled out a beer and went back to the couch. I had been sober for a few years but I just felt so bad. Frank had ran over to me and pulled it out of my hands before I could even open it.
"No Gerard. You can't go back to this especially around your kid." He said putting it into the fridge again. He sat down next to me probably waiting for me to talk. Which I did because I needed to get it out.
"How could I let that happen? My only job is to protect her which I failed to do! She says she doesn't hate me but I know she does. She's never going to talk to me because I'm the worst father and my child got taken and practically raped. And did you see her shoulders? She has cuts all over them! And I bet she doesn't trust me because the second I set her down she scooted into the corner. What am I supposed to do Frank? What do I do?"
"She's really scared Gerard. All you need to do is be there for her, especially at this time. Your not the worst father and you can't blame it all on yourself." His words were so calming especially at like 10:30.
"But she's never going to talk to me. And what if she cuts herself again? What do I do about that?!"
"We will all keep an eye on her and just try to talk to her about it, but just don't try to make it seem like tour mad because then she'll get really mad. And tour is almost over, she will be safe at home in no time Gee."
"Thanks Frank, I think I just need to go to bed."
So just went to bed thinking about how I'm the worst dad ever but also Frank's words.
Ugh.
~Victoria's POV~
I woke up in last night's clothes and flooding memories from last night. I got out of my bunk to change. I flipped on the bathroom light and I jumped to see myself in the mirror, I didn't even look like myself. I had a huge bruise on the side of my face and my cheeks were covered in black and so we're my eyes. I also had a horrible headache and stomach ache. Yeah me. I cleaned up before heading back to bed but then then I heard muffled crys coming from the lounge. I slowly walked out of the darkness to see Gerard sitting with Frank and crying. I didn't know if I should ask them what's wrong or if kids should just go back to sleep, I figured he was crying because of what happened and I didn't feel like dealing with it so I just crawled back into bed and snuggled up against Lex's sleeping body. Eventually invoke up to people talking which was no surprise because they were basically my alarm clock, I lied there alone trying to sit up but I was too tired but also I didn't want to sleep. But I got myself up and went straight for a coffee no 'hellos' or 'good morning' just a vanilla Starbucks then I went straight for the couch. Everyone was looking at me which was quite awkward, did I not get all the makeup off my face. I had went through silence and stairing for about 10 minutes before I couldn't handle it anymore. Every time I looked at someone they would look away quickly t make it seem that they wernt looking but I could notice it. I put the lid on my coffee and rolled my eyes before leaving the room and throwing on a sweatshirt and grabbing my phone before coming back out.
"I'm going to talk to Hailey, I'll be back later." I said in an annoyed tone before leaving the bus and slamming the door.
I stomped over to there bus and I didn't even bother knocking because I was so mad.
"Sorry for just barging in but I really needed to get out of that bus." I said before sitting down. Hailey came out of her bunk and her eyes practically light up before walking over to me and pulling me into a loving hug. She faced towards me and I knew she was going to listen.
"Watcha need?"
