Im sorry everyone, this story is horrible to my favorite people in the world. Read with caution

Joey just wanted to sleep. That was all he asked for. But he knew that it wouldn't happen, not as long as he was on this goddamn tour bus.

"Guys?", he said quietly his voice barely being heard over the screams of his friends. "Do you think we can go to bed? It's 2:30..."

Meredith started laughing at him. "Control your girlfriend and then you can sleep." Joey closed his eyes tighter, groaned and covered his ears.

"Fuck you Joey!" Lauren yelled in his general direction, giving him the finger with her free hand. Joey cracked a smile at his girlfriends words and rolled over.

The entire bus was chaos. Holden had challenged Lauren to a game of Mario Kart, and she kept calling everyone bitch. Not that Lauren was winning though. Holden was easily winning, and giggled every time she went back a place. Walker was trying to play, but kept getting distracted by Dylan, who was trying to do the saltine challenge. Jamie was watching the screen intently as Julia tried to hit Walker with a shell, and hit Bowser instead.

"Bullet bitches!" Lauren cackled, as she overtook Holden. Joey just sighed and rubbed his eyes. It was clear he would not be getting any sleep tonight. He stumbled over to Brian and Corey who were having what looked like a normal conversation in the back of the bus.

"Hey boys." Joey said as he plopped down next to his best friends.

"Joey we have plans. Big plans. And we want you to be a part of them." The serious look on Brian's face was so comical it took all Joey had in him to not laugh out loud.

"What is it Bri?" Joey asked, equally serious, his voice almost cracking. He didn't get his answer . Joey heard a horrible crash, the shattering of glass, the fearful screams of his friends, the awful sound that came out of his mouth. He had heard Meredith describe it once as pure human fear. He had laughed at the joke once, but now the fake fox blood Lauren had used for the sketch was replaced with the scent of human blood, burning his nose hairs. Corey was the first one to leap up, and then Brian, so Joey quickly followed suit. He wasn't thinking, he wasn't even acknowledging what was going on. He knew something had happened, but in a much more real sense he had no idea what had happened. He was just running.

Once he got closer he stopped questioning what was happening. He just stopped. All he could see was blood. Crumpled bodies all around, some moving others not. Holden was crying out, his face covered in deep scratched and blood, screaming for Meredith, begging for help. Joey couldn't tell how he got all of the cuts, but the pain in his voice was evident, and his eyes were closed and bloody, but leaking tears, reaching out for his girlfriend. Meredith couldn't come help Brian, she was conscious but unable to move, but she was talking to Brian, comforting him, telling him he was fine, and she was fine, despite the blood pouring out of her head and her lack of movement. Joe was sitting next to Brian, shaking, with a large piece of glass impaled in his stomach and his arms all cut up. Joey connected the dots that Brian must have been hit by the glass too, and felt sick to his stomach at the closed his eyes and turned his head the other way, over to where Jamie and Julia had been sitting. Clark was standing over Jamie's body, crying and shaking her, not pitting any weight on his right foot. She looked otherwise okay, just bruised and unconscious. Julia was screaming and clutching her arm, which was bent at a horrible angle. Joey tried to look away and get the image out of his head but it was burned there. Dylan was sitting on the couch, his saltines forgotten. He looked uninjured, but he was shaking and crying, and held his knees to his chest. He finally searched for Lauren, but he couldn't see her tiny body anywhere. He looked back and forth, and finally saw a tiny hand reaching out from under a pile of metal where the bus had collapsed. He looked out the windowsheild to see a car speeding away, the front heavily damaged by what he assumed was their bus. And Joey just stood there, listening to the happy song of Mario Kart combined with the screams and cries of his best friends.

Joey ran over to Lauren, and tried to move the pieces of metal blocking him from her. "Lo?" He asked, a mixture of a scream and a whisper. He didn't get a response, her hand was limp and lifeless. "Ohmygod," he said to himself more then anyone. "Oh my god." He looked around, the reality of what was happening around him finally dawning on him. "OH MY GOD" he yelled, and covered his ears and just screamed. They had always said in books how things always slowed down when something horrible happened, but he had never believed it until now. "LO!" He shouted, pulling at her hand, with still no response. He started to scream again, but Julia grabbed his shoulder, still clutching her arm.

"Stop Joey!" She yelled, her eyes full of tears and fear. "Stop!" Joey felt himself come back to the world for a second. He heard the screams again. He felt himself shaking. The world spinned around him. The Mario Kart music sang happily in the background. This was happening.

"Oh my god Jules... are you okay?" He half yelled, trying to be heard over the screams.

"What the hell do you think Joey? Just go help Brian!" Joey glanced over at Holden, who was the only one without anyone helping him. He had curled up into a ball and was just screaming and crying for help, seemingly unaware of his surroundings.

"Holden," Joey said, touching his friends shoulder, careful not to touch one of the long scratches. Brian looked shocked at Joeys touch and jerked away.

"Joey?" Brian asked his voice quiet and terrified. "Joey why can't I see anything?" The mans voice was smaller then Joey had ever heard it before, and the words Brian said sent shivers down his spine.

"Fuck..." Joeys voice trailed off. "Bri I need you to open your eyes."

"Joey it hurts."Joeys heart broke at Brian's words. He wasn't one to break like this. He was one of the strong ones.

"I know but I need you to open your eyes Bri." Brian nodded and painfully lifted his eyelids, and the second Joey caught a glimpse of Brian's eyes he backed away. "Oh shit."

"Joey where are you. Don't leave me. Get me Meredith." Joey stepped back towards Brian to let him know he wasn't alone. "Meredith can't come now Brian."

Joey looked over and saw Meredith had gone unconscious too. Police sirens entered the area and Joey backed away again despite Brian's cries and collapsed on the floor to face his own fears.
