Cut Down at the Gardens Gate

PART 17

You were asleep when Sam crawled in the bed next to you. "Hey, baby." You said.

"Hey beautiful." He smiled.

"How was the rest of the show?" You asked.

"It felt lonely without you in your spot." He said.

"It felt lonely in the bed without you." You told him.

"We're together now." He said, snuggling you.

"I need to go thank Josh." You said, getting up.

You walked through the bus, finding Josh sitting on the couch across from Jake. You sat next to him. "Thank you."

"For what?" Josh asked.

"Well, a lot of things. Specifically, getting me out of that trash situation."

"That's what brothers do. Protect their sisters." Josh shrugged.

"Let me get ahold of that motherfucker" Jake said, sitting up from his laying position, "he'd regret his decisions for sure."

You stood up. "Thank you both."

You skittered back to your bedroom, tripping over your own feet on the way, but not falling. You shut the door behind you.

"They called themselves my brothers." You said.

"Hmm?"

You sat on the bed next to Sam.

"Josh and Jake said that what he did is what brothers do." You said.

Sam smiled. "I love those idiots."

"I-don't know how to react." You stammer.

"I don't either." Sam admitted. "You're the first girl I've brought in that they've really accepted. Obviously they really care about you."

You blinked. "I think we're soulmates, Sammy." You say, looking into his eyes.

"I do too." He said. "Things just don't happen like this."

"I love you."

"I love you too. Let's go to sleep." You said.

THE NEXT MORNING

You woke up again to a knock on the door. "No show today, but you bitches are gonna come bowling with us." Jake yelled.

"Danny wants to come in!" Danny said.

"Danny come in!" You yelled back.

Danny opened the door and shut it behind him. Sam was still fast asleep. "How do you wake him up?" You asked.

"Like this." Danny said, planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Y/n it's too early for this." Sam said batting at Danny.

You giggled and got out of bed. Danny took your place.

"Sammy. Wake up." You said as Danny caressed his face.

Sam opened his eyes and jumped up. "GOD DAMN IT DANNY!" He yelled.

You fell to the floor laughing. Danny rolled around. "Ha-ha. I get it. Gang up on me." Sam scoffed.

You sat on the edge of the bed. Danny rested his feet on your lap. You rested your head on Sam's legs.

"Bowling?" You asked.

"Yeah. We usually do it on off days." Danny said. "Keeps us sane."

"I can't stay sane when you SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME!" Sam yelled.

You and Dan chuckled. Dan got up and walked through the bus. "I'm going to get ready." He said. "You guys get ready to be demolished."

Sam laughed. "Bet."

"I've never been bowling." You said.

"Really? Have you done anything fun?" He asked.

"No." You laugh. "My life was work, home, work, home."

"We will do lots of fun things together." He said. "I promise."
