Ashley felt Rowan scoop her up in his arms and then sit down against the car, knowing the boy would black out if she didn't try to calm him down. "Rowan...calm down please..." Each word she had spoke was difficult and gasped heavily, trying to gulp up some air before sayin another word. "You didn't force me to do anything." She added, but still every word came with a gasp and small pants. She knew Ryder was coming with the bus and wouldn't be far behind, so she didn't want to bother Rowan with taking her back. She didn't want to ruin Rowan's day, but she seemed to have already done so from her sudden hyperventalating and her sudden awkwardness and uncomfort without one of her bandmates at her side. She had been with the band for so long she felt as if she was a completely different person when she wasn't around at least one of them. She knew this was her fault, but she didn't know how to fix it. The girl kept panting and struggling for small gasps of air as she thought silently to herself, and her body shook slightly.

ROWAN shook his head, hugging Ashley close to him as he opened his pale eyes again to look up at the girl. "I'm so sorry Ash." he repeated quietly, defeated. They'd grown so-so far apart. He missed his friend, the one he played pranks with, the one he defended, the one he had sleep overs with. But he couldn't change the fact that they'd been apart so long. Rowan looked up miserably, seeing the tour bus. "I see you texted Ryder." he mumbled, letting his head drop again as his grip on Ashley loosened, letting her go. The boy felt betrayal blossoming in his chest as he set Ashley back on her feet, turning to open his car door and slip inside. Of course he'd stay until he knew she was ok, but he couldn't look at her. Rowan looked up at Quentin, his face twisted in helpless pain.

Ashley felt her stomach twist in knots as she watched Rowan's expression change. She opened her mouth to speak but all that came out were small gasps for air. When she had been once again set up onto her feet she felt her legs shake more than ever. She watched as Rowan had gotten back into the car and felt like crying, feeling as if maybe her foster father was right. Who would want her? Tears began to form in her eyes, but she held them back, so they didn't slide down her cheeks. Feeling herself unable to keep herself up she collapsed onto the ground, sitting on her knees and looked at the ground, her hair falling so it would hide her face, and she knew all to well that her eyes would become red from her forcing the tears back.

xxxxxDiana, who was completely clueless as to what was going on, simply stood behind Quentin and watched it all take place. She felt bad for the shaking girl Rowan held in his arms - why did they even pick her up? Did she have some kind of disease? She told herself again not to ask too many questions. Instead she just stood by with a sympathetic frown plastered on her face.

Quentin looked over at Ashley and then over at Diana. "She's scared. She hasn't been without at least one of her band members in three years. Did you want to go over there by Rowan, Jason and Ashley or did you want to go in and get seats?" He asked the girl, knowing he'd pay for Diana, and he planned to just stick with the girl until Rowan and Jason joined them, so he was leaving the decision up to Diana.

Ashley starred at the ground, hoping Ryder would come soon, wanting to find some sort of comfort in the drummer's arms, hoping to regulate her breathing, as she began to feel faint from the lack of air she was getting, and her holding back tears wasn't helping the girl with the faint feeling. All the girl could do was wait and hope she didn't have to wait long. She hadn't have thought she'd react as she did apart from the band, but knew if she wanted to spend time apart from the band for even a few hours she'd have to take small steps and not just jump into it as she just did.

Spotting the mustang in a nearby parking lot, Matt slowed the bus to a stop. Ryder flew out the door as soon as it opened. "Ash!" He rushed towards the girl and drew her too him. The girl felt cold and clammy in his arms, shaking slightly and obviously in a state of panic. "It's ok. I'm here." He whispered. He hadn't seen this side of Ashley before. The girl was usually so confident and controlled. Why had this happened? He looked at Rowan suspiciously but quickly ruled out foul play at the sight of the boys face. He looked just as scared for Ashley as Ryder was. The situation, he could tell, was starting to cause a scene. Patrons of the nearby restaurant were leaning out to see what was causing the commotion. Ryder scowled as he saw someone taking a video with their phone. After a moment he turned back to Rowan, then said with some reluctance, "Thank you for taking care of her Rowan." Then back to Ashley, "Do you want to leave?"

Ashley felt relieved as she felt Ryder's arms wrap around her. She wrapped her arms tightly around Ryder, resting her head on the boy's upper chest, allowing tears to slide down her cheeks. She had felt so helpless before, and still did, but she felt more secure. Her breathing had slowly began to turn from short, gasps to regular breathing. When Ryder had asked if she wanted to leave she didn't look up at the boy, just stayed where she was, against the warmth of his body, she had nodded in response to his question, feeling bad about suddenly leaving Rowan and his friends after she had said she'd hang out with them. The girl still shook, but she seemed to relax more as she stayed close to Ryder.

xxxxxDiana nodded understandingly. "That must be hard," she said, keeping the sober expression on her face. "I think we'd better go inside, I don't want to get involved. They shouldn't be too long anyway, right?" She was really just anxious to go in because she was practically counting the seconds of school that she was missing, and she was kind of eager to get back. She wanted to have fun, and she was, but this whole thing had put an unpleasant damper on the whole situation, and she felt kind of useless. I probably shouldn't have come...she thought. Oh well. I did come. I guess I can't change that now. With a little sigh, she turned towards the entrance and began walking in, away from the little group that was huddled around Rowan's car.

The girl was silent but her breathing was becoming more regular and Ryder could tell that the panic attack, if thats what it was, had peaked and was ending. She offered a weak nod in response to his earlier question. "Ok." He offered an apologetic smile to the others, then turned Ashley towards where Matt had parked the bus, his arm still draped around her shoulder. "I should never have let you go." He leaned in closer, kissing her gently on the side of the head.

Quentin nodded in response to Diana's choice before following after her. "Seeing as it might be just us for a few minutes, and we don't really know eachother all that well, why don't we get to know eachother a bit?" He suggested, before taking a few steps at a quicker pace and grasped the door, opening it for Diana and waited for her to walk into the building before walking in after her.

Ashley didn't look up at the four other people and just followed at Ryder's side, staying close to the boy, but hid her tear stained face behind her hair. A weak smile tugged at her lips when he had kissed the side of her head. Climbing onto the bus she didn't look at the guitarist or the bassist, but waited for Ryder to lead her anywhere. Glancing towards the table where she had last left her notebook she saw it was gone, and knew right then that they had read the lyrics she wrote, but didn't say anything about it, just kept looking down at the floor of the bus.
