(Y/n) POV

Finishing up at the café, I turn all the lights off and make sure the front door is locked before making my way out of the side entrance. The side alley is dark, each corner containing shadows that move with my imagination. I jiggle the key in the lock but it's stuck and it won't lock properly.
"Uh, come on, just lock." I sigh at the door, hoping it would miraculously listen and just lock so I could go home. Plus, 11pm in a side alleyway probably isn't the best place to stay for too long. LA is lovely, but there are dodgy parts to every place.
Amidst the haste of the door, I suddenly become aware of warm, stale breath on the back of my neck. The smell of alcohol is so overpowering I almost gag.
"Now what's a pretty girl like you doing out here, all by yourself?" He slurs. I roll my eyes. Men are insufferable.
"I'm not looking for trouble but if you try anything, you'll find yourself in a situation. Just not the one you're looking for." I say in a disinterested tone. But in truth, my heart was beating so fast I wouldn't be surprised if it just burst out of my chest. His hands grab onto my shoulders, but as soon as he come into contact with me I slam my head back into his face and turn and sprint towards the road. He shouts out in surprise and pain before chasing me. My feet slam against the flat pavement and I slow down slightly to take in my surroundings. A group of boys around my age, maybe a little older, are walking in my direction, chatting loudly and having fun. The tall one with bright blue eyes looks up at me as somethings slams into me and tackles me to the floor. Shouts ring out around me as my head connects with the concrete.
Someone grabs me by the front of my shirt. "You're quick but not quick enough" the still unnamed man sneers right in my face, before slamming his fist into my face, my head snapping back and hitting the concrete again.
Everything is blurry, but I'm aware of a commotion around me, hands on my face, panicked words.
"Shit, her head"
"Do we take her inside?"
"Yeah - let's put her on the sofa"
"Jonah, come carry her to the bus"
Footsteps rush towards me and I'm being picked up by unfamiliar arms.

~~~

When I come to, I open my eyes and immediately groan and shut my eyes to the bright light. I shift my positions slightly and groan.
"Owwwwww" I say
A chuckle comes from next to me and I open my eyes and squint at the person. It was Mr. bright blue eyes! He looks down at me and says "you've been unconscious for hours, the boys and I had no idea when you'd wake up." He paused. "How's your head" he asks whilst cringing slightly. I sigh.
"Well it's safe to say I hit it a little harder than I thought" I answer whilst laughing a little.
He looks at me and raises an eyebrow. "If you've got a sense of humour now, then I'm intrigued to see your levels of sass at your best" he says whilst laughing.
"Mhmmm, queen of sass is sitting right here...you're in front of royalty you know Daniel" I mumble.
His eyes widen slightly at my comment. "You- you know my name?"
I laugh at his expression, "of course I know who you are. I love your music. I also watched you on American Idol, although you were a little smaller then" I say whilst smirking slightly.
"Wow-um so.."he stutters.
"Hey chill, I'm not going to go crazy fangirl on you. Plus, my head hurts and screaming wouldn't help..." I mutter the last part just as the small door slides open to reveal 4 other boys. Of course I know all of their names but I'll be polite and let them introduce themselves.
"SHE'S AWAKE!" shouts Jack before running at me and pulling me into a crushing hug. I laugh at his welcome and hug him back.
"JACK" shout Jonah, Corbyn and Zach in unison.
"Shut up" Daniel finishes for them.
I smile at Jack before patting his shoulder humorously.
The rest of the boys introduce themselves, hug me and then we all sit down in the small room on the tour bus.
Corbyn looks at me before speaking, "so do you have a place to stay after this?"
I look down at my feet. "Well, I rent out a room in this woman's house but I've missed the last 2 paydays and the 3rd was last week and I still haven't paid it. Because I can't. I have no family in the States either so..." I trail off, looking up them.
An awkward silence follows and I'm about to say something before Jonah interrupts.
"Well, please don't take this the wrong way. But we kind of expected a situation like this, so we've already talked with our manager and he said you can stay with us until you find a place to stay...?" He says...almost hopefully?
I stare in shock at him. Then at Daniel. Then Jack, Zach and Corbyn. I'm officially lost for words, so when I try and say something I look like a fish gasping for air.
"Really?" I whisper, tears threatening to fall. A small glimmer of hope in my chest is starting to grow, after being shut down for so long.
"Yeah, we are on tour at the moment, so you would get the chance to see the world!" Jacks pipes up, looking more excited than I am at this moment in time.
"If you dot want to then-" Daniel starts, but I cut him off.
"I'd love to. I'd-I'd be honoured to" I manage to say, even though my throat feels like it's closing up. "But you don't even know my name".
The boys share glances with each other before looking at me.
"About that..." Jack says.
Realisation hits me. "You went through my phone didn't you" I say with a smirk.
They all begin to look panicked and corbyn speaks up.
"We weren't prying we promised. We were trying to find someone to call who you knew! We also found all of your information so we know exactly who you are....(y/n)...." he trails off looking at the ground.
"Guys, seriously it's fine you were trying to help" I say though giggles.
They tension in the room fades away and they all release a breath.

Jonah looks around at us before muttering "I need a strong coffee"
Obviously we all hear it and jack looks at his watch before calling after Jonah. "It's 2am Jonah!"
Without turning around he replies with "It's been a stressful night!"
We all burst into laughter at that and I yawn.
Zach sighs, "we should go to sleep. We've got a day off tomorrow so I might make it through the day. I Might."
Daniel stands up and looks down at me.
"We've got a spare bunk. You can sleep there." He says whilst sending me a soft smile and holding his hand out.
I take his hand and follow him through the bus.
"Zach went out earlier to buy some pyjamas for you.  He came back with about a hundred oversized t-shirts. We will go out tomorrow and buy some propers one." He says whilst scratching the back of his head.
"Uh, you can get changed in the bathroom over there" He points to a small door down the hallway. He begins to walk away but I call after him.
"Daniel?" He turns around and looks me in the eye.
"Thank you. For everything"
He smiles gently before answering.
"You're welcome (y/n). Goodnight."
I smile back at him.
"Goodnight"
