Chapter 5 - Nightmares
Nick awoke sweating and screaming, instantly waking Brian up.
"Nickay, what's wrong?" he said rushing to him. "They're hurting her! Oh God their beating her! No!!!" nick screamed. The door opened and there stood Bernie, Kevin, A.J and Howie. "What's wrong?!" they all said in unison.
"They're hurting her!" nick repeated. Bernie looked at nick sobbing like a baby.,she felt bad for him, he missed Crystal. Obviously she meant a lot to him.
'Oh man!' Kevin thought. They had to cancel the tour until further notice. In no way was nick in any shape to perform. He couldn't even talk without stuttering. The guys and Bernie sighed and walked back to their rooms. Brian walked back to nick and enveloped him into a hug. "Nickay, it's 4 in the morning, why don't you try to go back to sleep."
"How can I sleep when they are hurting her!?"
"You gotta be strong. For her. For yourself."
"Brian I don't know, I........... I can smell her fricken lotion on my shirt."
"We'll find her. We will, now go to bed." Brian got up and walked over to the light shutting it off and climbing into bed. Nick fell asleep once again as he cried.

Crystal opened her eyes to see a girl about 14 years old. She had brown hair, and blue eyes. Crystal tried hard to remember that face when it clicked. The girl from backstage at the concert. She had a bowl of soup and water. She helped Crystal sit up. She removed the gag from Crystal's mouth. "Don't touch me!" Crystal said.
"I am here to help you, don't be afraid."
"How are you here to help me?" Crystal asked afraid. "Here I fixed you some soup." Crystal gladly ate the soup and drank the water. Afterwards the girl spoke.
"I have to put these back on so the guys wont know I fed you." she said referring to the gag and blindfold.
"Can I call my boyfriend?"
"I would let you, it's just they'd kill me if they found out." she put the gag on and the blindfold. Crystal fell asleep.
