The smell of bacon wafted through the sheets I pulled over my face at some point in the night of restless sleep. Jinxx was softly humming The Legacy from the kitchen, and I could hear the crackling and popping of fresh bacon. The mere sound made my mouth drool, but I just kept my composure. I could not gain any more weight.

My arms were burning at my sides, I pulled them up to my face, and suddenly the memory of last night's events came rushing back into my mind. I gasped slightly, but clasped my hands to my mouth. I did not want him to know I was awake. If I could have, I would have stayed in bed and avoided him for the rest of the day.

I heard Jinxx make his way towards my bed, so I squeezed my eyes shut in a failed attempt at pretending to be asleep. He sat down next to me and shook my shoulder gently, to which I just groaned. He chuckled and shook me again, a bit harder.

"I made bacon! I know you want some!" he cooed in a sing-song voice that I could not help but laugh at. I pulled the covers tighter over my head and let my body sink further into the foamy mattress. I felt the weight of the bed shift quickly, and I noticed he left. It seemed too easy to get rid of him like that, so I lifted the sheets a little and peered through the crack. Unfortunately, as soon as I began searching the room for him, I felt an icy cool liquid drench my entire body and bed. I leapt out of bed, horrified by the freezing water I was soaked in. I heard a chorus of laughter, and turned to see my four band mates giggling like teenage girls. CC stood holding the bucket, so it was not hard for me to deduce who the culprit was.

"CC. What. The. Hell. I will so kill you for this one!" I growled and started towards him. He quickly dropped the bucket and sprinted to the bathroom, being sure to lock the door behind him. I considered picking the lock, but I was still groggy and shivering from head to toe.

The laughter from the band died down as I reentered the living room. I sat at the coffee table in the living room with me head in my hands. The guys helped themselves to plates full of bacon and scrambled eggs. Ashley came over to me with a small plate and a towel. He draped the towel over my shoulders and placed the plate in front of me. I smiled softly because he remembered the exact way I liked my breakfast. I had not even had a breakfast in such a long time- not counting the hospital sludge I forced down my throat- but somehow Ashley remembered from years ago the exact way to prepare my breakfast for me. It was a small portion of food, but Ashley promised me we would take baby steps to recovery.

I heard the bathroom door click open and CC cautiously tiptoed to the kitchen, careful to avoid direct eye contact with me. After we had all finished our meals, Jake threw the dishes in the sink as we all sat in various places among the living room. I still had a question burning in my mind.

"So why are all of you here? I thought you were all busy?" I inquired them all, and they all just smiled sheepishly at me. Ashley finally spoke up.

"We all canceled our plans. We realized that since we became a band, we haven't really done anything really fun. And we knew it was your first real day out, so we all decided that today is the day we go somewhere super fucking awesome. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, Andy." He grinned with the rest of the band. They all made it clear that I could not know where we were going until we got there. They just told me to get dressed and wear comfortable shoes.

I took a very quick shower, being that I absolutely hated the burning sensation of the water beating down on fresh cuts. I dressed in simply a batman t-shirt, some skinny jeans, and a pair of comfortable black leather boots. I applied a thin layer of eyeliner, straightened my hair, and grabbed a black sweatshirt off the floor. We walked down to the parking garage to Jinxx's car. It seated all five of us, but it was a small car. As soon as we were all able to squeeze ourselves into the car, he began to drive.

We drove for about an hour to get there. They made sure that I couldn't find out where the surprise was. CC had fallen asleep on my shoulder while Ashley and Jake continued an argument over the conflicting bass and guitar lines of a song for our next album. After what seemed like an eternity, we finally arrived where the boys had been so excited to go all day. My mouth dropped as I realized where we were.

We pulled into the parking lot, and as soon as I had woken CC up, he began bouncing in his seat in anticipation like a toddler. We nearly leapt out of the car, excited to go inside. Jake paid for our tickets, and we immediately ran inside.

"What do you want to do first?" Ashley asked me, but I honestly was not sure. I hadn't been here since I was a very small child, so I was a cocktail of emotions. I shrugged.

"I want to go on the Zero Gravity ride first! Oh please, can we go?" CC whined. I looked over to the massive green ride. It was cylindrical with an open top. The concept was that you are strapped on to the side of the walls, and as the ride tilts completely sideways, it spins to fast that you become stuck to the side. It used to be my favorite ride as a child, so I eagerly agreed, and all five of us headed to the line.

After the ride, I was excited to try more rides. Jake left to the concession stand for some pizza and lemonade, Ashley and Jinxx left to compete for a large stuffed giraffe in a test-your-strength game. CC and I went on several different rides and roller coasters until he was far to dizzy to even stand. We all met back at the table with Jake who was on his fourth piece of pizza. Ashley had won the penguin and was quite proud of it, and it obviously annoyed Jinxx.

"Guys, I can't see you all straight. It's like there's seven of you!" CC moaned and we all laughed. Ashley grinned and looked at Jinxx.

"Maybe I should name my penguin LOSER so he can be like you!"

"But you cheated! The whole thing was rigged. You flirted with the woman who ran it! She wasn't even pretty, you ass." Ashley simply shrugged.

"It's a gift. The perks of the unmarried life!" He put his hands behind his head and placed his feet on the table in an attempt to look cool. I laughed as Jinxx flipped Ashley off.

He shoved the penguin in Jinxx's face and he just growled. We laughed again, and I realized something. For the first time in a very long time, a smile of pure happiness was spread on my face. Not forced or just meant to hide the sadness. I was happy, and I couldn't be happier than with the best band mates I ever could have asked for. That was until I saw something- or someone- that completely ruined my whole day.
