"I'm not a girl who takes selfies, I like makeup free
I'm not no mean girl lady, a pink prom queen
Imma girl who climbs trees, always dirt on my jeans
My daddy told me how to fix cars" I pause. I forgot the lyrics again.

"Adalyn what's going on, you got the lyrics perfect last night?" Jon asks coming towards me with a water bottle and the lyric sheet.

"I know. I know. I'm sorry" I shake my head taking the water and gulping some down. I take the sheet and start looking over the lyrics.

"This isn't like you. What's going on? Do you need to talk to someone? To me?" He asks crossing his arms over his chest. I shake my head again and hand the sheet and water back to him.

"You ready now?" I nod and get back on the stage opposite of Corbyn. We run through our part one more time and I got it all on point. We take a quick break before going through it one more time before the show to make sure it's perfect.

We just got done getting dressed and ready for the concert when Bam Bam comes in and tells us it's time for Limelight. We all follow him to the big room where it's held and immediately get bombarded with girls. I walk away from the guys and some of them follow me.

"Hey, Adalyn can she get a picture with you?" A middle-aged woman asks gesturing to a little girl she was holding.

"Oh my gosh she's so cute" I coo. I take the little girl into my arms and hug her tightly.

"How old is she?" I ask looking at the beautiful little girl on my hip.

"Five" she replies smiling. She was taking a video of this whole encounter.

"Alright, Aleah smile for the picture," the woman says. Aleah is such a beautiful name. The little girl smiles and leans against my shoulder and we take the picture.

"Thank you. Oh, and if you want to be able to take her home with you tonight don't give her to Daniel" I say laughing earning a laugh from her.

The next group that came up to me was three teenage girls that wanted a picture.
We snapped a picture and they asked me questions about what it's like living with the guys and how they treat me.

"Can I get picture?" A heard a little voice ask. I look down and see the cutest little boy.

"Of course you can cutie" I bend down and pick him up.

"What's your name?"

"Tyler" he replied with a big smile which made me smile bigger.

"DANIEL. I FOUND THE NEW BAM BAM" I yell at the blue-eyed boy. He snaps his head in my direction and walks towards me seeing the little boy in my arms.

"This is the new Bam Bam" I repeat. Daniel coos at the little boy and takes him from me.

"BAM BAM YOU'VE BEEN REPLACED" Daniel yells at him. The rest of the boys walk over towards us and look at the cute little boy. The mother was watching the whole thing unfold before her.

"I'm sorry but we're keeping your son" Daniel spoke looking over at the mother.

"It's fine he's a hand full. Can I get a picture of y'all holding him?" She asks laughing. We nod our heads with a smile and I take the little boy back from Daniel and holding him to where his back is against my chest and his legs are dangling in front of him. I had one hand under his butt and the other wrapped around his torso so he wouldn't fall.

We took two pictures. One where we all smiled and another where I was kissing the little boy's cheek and the boys did their own thing.

"Alright everyone we have to clear the room. The concert will start soon" Jon yells through his hands he had cupped around his mouth.

There were groans from fans but they obliged and left the room.

When we load onto the bus after the show we all flopped down on the couches or on the floor. I lean against the little table in the kitchen area and I put my head in my hands. I messed up on the lyrics a little tonight and I can't believe I did. I forgot the lyrics to one of our first songs and it was the easiest song ever. I got so mad at myself on the stage. My head is pounding with a headache and I just want to sleep.

"Earth to Adalyn," Corbyn says snapping his finger in front of my face. I look up at him and take my thumbnail out of my mouth. Chewing on my nail has become a bad nervous habit of mine that needs to stop soon before I run out of nails.

"Go to bed. You've been up for hours" he says looking into both of my eyes.

"We all have" I shrug looking at everyone else.

"You know what I mean" he snaps back. He looks at me sternly and that's when I know it's time to actually do what he's telling me to do. I stand up straight and say my goodnights to everyone and jump onto my bunk.

I hoist myself up and into the bed and pull the covers over me. I plug my phone up and see I had a few texts from an unknown number. When I opened them I saw pictures of me in my dressing room when I was just in my bra putting a shirt on and another one was of me changing my pants. Shivers go down my spine as I read the two words he sent with.

You're mine.

I could practically hear him growling those words into my ear. I squeeze my eyes shut and turn my phone off putting it down. I grab my pill bottle and take out a few melatonin popping them into my mouth and washing them down with water. Hopefully, I'll get a full night's sleep without having nightmares of him.
