I watched as Angie left with Corey into the venue. I ignored it and walked into the tour bus, I wondered why she left with Corey, the way he took her away. I sat down in the lounge and laid back until Jay and MJ came in.

"Feeling good?" MJ said sitting across from me and drinking water.

"I'm good" I said looking out from the window and staring at nothing but the tour bus of Slipknot.

"She likes you" a voice came, I turned my head to see Sagen sitting on the sofa.

"How would anyone know? Do you know what just happened?" I asked as he laid down.

"She left with Corey, well let's just say forcefully" Padge said.

I looked at Padge and looked back out the window.

"Well seems like nothing to worry about than to get off this tour, but whatever, it started and if Corey and Angie want to be together than leave it at that" I said knowing that I was lying to myself, I wanted to be with her but I couldn't if she had feelings for Corey.

We sat in silences until we heard the tour bus door shutting then the door to the lounge opened in hopes that it was Angie,. I turned only to see Alexan.

"Hey, I need Sagen...like now and MJ" he said in anticipation then he motioned them as they looked at him confused.

"What's wrong?" MJ asked.

"We'll talk about it when we get outside, but NOW!" Alexan said as both MJ and Sagen got up and followed him.

Jay got up and looked out the lounge window, "They're talking about something.....and they're running"

"Running?" I asked looking at Jay confused.

Dani got up and walked downstairs where you could hear Padge and Dani talk.

"Wonder what that is?" I got up and went downstairs with Jay following behind me, "What's wrong?" I asked when I got downstairs.

"Alex said something happened to Angie and MJ and Sagen went to go check if she's okay" Padge said.

I got scared and began walking towards the door until dani stopped me.

"Just wait, don't go over there and make a fool of yourself, she called MJ and Sagen for a reason, if anything is wrong they'll bring her back here and they'll deal with it so please relax yourself and leave them be for now" Dani said blocking the doorway.

I sat down waiting for someone to return. After what felt like forever the tour bus door swung open.

"Has any of you seen Corey?" Jim walked in.

"No, what happened? Is everything okay?" Dani asked.

"Asshole hit Angie, where the fuck is Corey?!?" Jim said hitting the bus.

I got up and began walking out. I was too worried and as I walked out Mick and Chris tried to calm down Jim, all of them mad but keeping calm except Jim.

Dani followed behind me as we made our way to the venue. Once we got backstage we both began to look around, refusing to split up.

"Where are they?" Dani said looking around finally at the end of the long hall we spotted Paige in what seemed deserted.

We both ran down the hall towards Paige and as we turned the corners there Angie sat on a folding chair holding a towel to her face as MJ, Sage, and Alexan hovered around her.

She didn't look up nor in any direction but stare at the ground.

I walked towards her but MJ stopped me.

"Please Matt, I think it's best that you leave us alone for now" he said standing in front of me.

Of course I wasn't gonna say no.

"It's fine, it's no ones fault but my own, let him stay" Angie said.

MJ then moved out of my way as I kneel down next to her.

"How bad?" I asked.

She removed the towel and there was a handprint on her cheek with cuts along the right side of her lip and bruises forming on her neck.

"What happened?" I said hoping someone would answer me.

"I left with Corey and we were on stage talking and I didn't want to talk so I left and he got mad and he grabbed my arm and lead me backstage where he just slapped me, and kicked me" she then began to choke up, "Luckily Paige saw him and he took off, Alex then found us and got MJ and Sagen"

I stared at her a couple of minutes and I examined her and saw that she had hand prints around her wrist and one around her neck.

"I think we should just cancel the show just for today and we'll see what happens from there" MJ said looking at Angie and the rest of the band.

"No, we can't do that...fans already paid for the show, please Matthew" Angie pleaded to MJ.

"Angie, we have to cancel the show, your dad told me to take care of you and it's what I'm doing, I'm not gonna let you play...I'll call Terry up, he should still be here, but for now you need to go back to the tour bus and stay there, guys take her back and make sure that asshole doesn't get within range"

Paige walked in front of Angie and helped her up as MJ left while making a phone call.

Paige, Dani, Alex, Sagen, Dani and I walked her to the tour bus and when we reached it we saw Mick, Jim, Chris, Padge, Jay, Joey, and Stacy standing on the side of the tour bus while moose stood in the door way of the bus.

Stacy ran to Angie and helped her.

"Oh my gosh" Stacy said holding the other side of Angie.

They all stared at Angie as we got into the tour bus. We noticed that Sagen stopped at the doorway of the tour bus.

"If that asshole comes anywhere near her, I will kill him myself, and you better tell him that" Sagen said to the guys standing outside, he then closed the door after Stacy walked out.

I sat on the sofa as Paige, Dani, Alex, Sage, and Matt sat around me, Moose and Jay sat further by the dining area.

"All we have to do is wait for MJ and we'll sort this out" Sagen said.

I got up and began slowly walking upstairs, I felt like just fainting until someone wrapped their arm around my waist and supported me as I went up. I looked only to see Matt. He walked me to my bunk, he laid me down and once I laid down he sat across me on another bunk.

"Thanks" I said and covered myself with the blanket that was given to me by Sagen's grandma.

"No problem" said Matt as he just stared at me.

It was quiet for a moment until I spoke up.

"You know, I never thought he'd do something like that, especially to me....well that thought was 3 years ago"

I looked at her, what was she saying? HE'S DONE THIS BEFORE?!?

"What are you trying to say?" I asked as she just covered her face, "Angie?"

She began to silently cry under the blanket. I got up and sat on her bunk and moved the blanket revealing her.

"What's wrong?" I asked as she covered her face.

"It's not the first time this happened, the sad thing is no one knew because I was protecting him from everyone, now something bad is gonna happen" she said moving her hands from her face.

She looked at me and closed her eyes. I leaned towards her and held her tightly as she wrapped her arms around my waist.

Once we heard the door of the tour bus open we immediately pulled apart then after a couple minutes the rest of the band came upstairs and into the bunk area.

"I called Terry and told him what happened, he said he'll call in and give us today and tomorrow to heal so we'll for sure play Wednesday, we also discussed about Corey, and he said that pressing charges was something we could do and possibly cancel our part in this tour, but it's up to you"

We all stared as Angie as she looked clueless on what to do.

"We'll just cancel the two days and forget about what happened" she said turned towards the wall indicating that she didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Well I guess we have an extra two days off, but we still have to do our interviews, merchandise sell, and meet and greets, but Angie will stay here" MJ said.

"Who's gonna stay with her?" I asked as all the guys looked at each other.

"We should go downstairs and talk about this"

We all got up and walked downstairs. I continued to stare as Angie as she laid. Once I reached downstairs we all sat down as MJ was standing up.

"Even when Corey is onstage playing, I don't want her to be alone, the best thing we can do is lock the doors and arm her with the usual" MJ said.

"The usual?" Moose asked looking at MJ.

"It's a taser and pepper spray, it's for her" Sagen said, he looked at me and suddenly brighten up as if he had an idea, "I have an idea!"

We all looked at Sagen as he stood up next to MJ, "Matt can stay with her"

They all looked at me and stared. MJ seemed a bit worried

"If you'd like...but just know that if you hurt her, I'll kill you myself and I don't want that to happen, remember what I said" he said looking straight at me, "It's official, Matt will stay with her until bullets show, I don't know if you mind skipping the meet and greet"

"Just for today and tomorrow right?" I asked looking at both Sagen and MJ.

"Yep, if anything happens you better come find us" MJ said handing me a paper with the band members numbers.
