Dani's POV~

After Jaime had finished the paperwork and my last name was changed to Preciado, we left the doctor's office and went back to the bus. I wanted to be alone so I climbed on to the roof of the bus and just stared at the sky.

---

It's been about an hour and I haven't spoken to anyone. I was too busy getting lost in my thoughts about my mother's lies, and my future living with Jaime.

"Dani? It's been over an hour, are you okay?" Tony asked. Since the first night, Tony has been my best friend, even with the big age gap. He's was always the one to ask if I was okay or not, and he could always tell when I was lying. Not only that, but he knew how to make me feel better. He was my rock.

That's a good question, am I okay? No. No, I don't think so.

Instead of answering, I looked at him before looking back into the distance with a blank expression.

Tony's POV~

It's been awhile since we had gotten back from the doctor's office and I was a little bit concerned. Dani was on the roof, Jaime was staring at the papers with a sad smile, and Mike was sitting in the back drinking.

While Vic went to talk to Mike I went outside to see Dani staring blankly into the distance

"Dani? It's been over an hour, are you okay?" She looked at me in the eyes, before returning to her previous actions.

The look in her eyes said it all, she wasn't okay, she was slowly breaking.

I climbed onto the roof and sat next to her.

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

She shook her head 'no'.

"Okay, but I'm for you if you ever need someone to talk to."

She nodded still not uttering a word.

"How about we go inside and get the guys and we can go get some food, how does that sound?" Her lips twitched into a slight smile before nodding.

So that's what we did.

Dani’s POV

We were seated at some restaurant I didn't really know the name of. I still haven’t spoken and all of the guys were beginning to worry.

I was picking at my salad and listening to their conversation about a new tour or something, when I got a call.

As I saw the name I quickly stood up and answered before walking out.

"Hello"

"Hi sweetie, how are you doing?

"Not so good. "

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Why did you lie to me?" I said wanting to get to the point before Sperm Donor and the others
came to check on me,

“What do you mean?” She nervously laughed.

"What I mean is that I was born in San Diego, not London, you took me and ran to London. Why? I want the truth."

"I couldn’t face your father, he hated me for cheating on him with Mike. Your grandparents, they
disowned me for getting pregnant at such a young age. Stuff happened and I didn’t know what else to do. I thought it was for the best."

"The best for who, you or me." I said getting mad.

"The best for you"

"I don’t believe you. Mum, you were the one who up and left Jaime. You let me believe he walked out on me. I've hated my father for years and promised that if I ever saw him
I would never call him dad no matter what. You made me believe all of these lies and probably many more for years, and for what to protect yourself." I felt tears of anger and betrayal run down my face as I yelled at my mum.

"I was protecting you, and I am still am."

"Then stop lying to me."

"Daniella, i’m sorry for lying, but I was only thinking about your well being and safety."

"*Sniffle* whatever, I have to go."

"I love you Daniella."

Having nothing more to say to my mother, I hung up. I turned towards the wall and cried. I brought my fist up ready to take my anger out on the wall, when someone spoke.

"I wouldn't do that, we don't need another trip to the doctor's office." Mike said scaring me. I turned around to see Jaime, Tony, Vic, and Mike standing behind me with knowing looks.

"How-how much d-did you hear o-of that?" I said while drying my face with my sleeve.

"Everything since you told her you wanted the truth." Jaime said sadly. Fuck, I hurt his feelings.

"Oh"

"Uh, I think we should head back to the bus, if we want to make it home soon. " Vic said after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence. We all nodded and headed back, me of course, walking in the very back of the group to avoid conversation.

But my plan was a bust when Vic showed up beside me. Which surprised me, considering we haven't really talked since I got here.

"You should talk to Jaime." Well he was straight to the point.

"He barely knows you, but he loves you, he would do anything to protect you. I know you're in an emotional state dealing with your mother and all, but it would be good to focus on your relationship with your dad for now, especially since you'll be living with him for a while."

"I don't know what I would talk to him about." I admitted looking up at Vic.

"Don't think about it, just let it happen."

"Thank you, Vic"

"Don't mention it, sobrina." He said and hugged me.

"Sobrina? What does that mean?" I asked.

"It means niece. Even though we aren't all blood related, me and the guys are brothers, that makes you our niece." He smiled and walked onto the bus.

I smiled and walked on as well, but instead of going to Jaime, I went to my bunk.

Hopefully I can come up with something to talk about.
