People dont change



(Eves PoV)
It had been four days into the tour and I started warming up to the other artist, Mandisa and I were getting along really well so was Lauren and I , she's really sweet. Mike from Tenth Avenue North brought his daughter Christal. We had gotten along really well.
One day I was on her bus and we were talking when I started to drift off, thoughts started pounding on my mind.
"You okay?" Christal asked. Christal is 13.
"I..I don't know..."
"Want to talk?" She asked.
"Not here.. Mike's here, I don't really want anyone else to hear yet." I whisper.
"Is anyone on your bus?"
"I..I don't think so... I think they are doing an interview."
"Let's go there."
So we went there. We sat at the front lounge, unaware that Luke was in the back doing some concert stuff.
"Tell me what's going on." Christal told me after she handed me a soda.
"You don't know me but I want to tell you my past." I told her, Luke by this time was headed to his bunk cause he was getting a really bad headache. When Luke laid down he heard Eve start talking, he listened intently even though he had a headache.
"I was 5 years old when I lost my dad, he was riding his horse, kona, when he was shot in the back, it hit his heart and killed him immediately, the shooter was stinkin Drunk to his gills, He never saw my dad or Kona. The shooter left and then got himself killed in a car crash. They found my dad a day later by some hikers. Then my mom was home alone when a fire broke out, by the time the fire department arrived the house was already on the ground, my moms ashes were found in the fire. They said something blew and killed her, but they don't know how the fire started. So this all happened in about a two week period. So I was sent to my aunts place, well, that was fun till the fourth week after my sixth birthday my uncle started drinking, when he was drunk he yell at me if he was mad.. telling me it was my fault my parents are dead and that I'm not wanted, I once tried to run but got caught.... my aunt was always able to hold him back till she started drinking about a month after my seventh Birthday... she soon did the same as my uncle, if I left a toy out and he step or trip over it he would yell at me, pick that toy up and either break it or throw it into the fire... one was a toy my parents gave me, but I have this...." I showed my wolf to her. "I kept it hidden so it would not be seen...it's the last thing I got before my parents died.... things got worse, I started getting hit on the back with a spoon especially if some of my toys were left out or if my grades slipped... one night I was playing with some toys when I heard my aunt and uncle fighting when I heard..." I broke off... I felt tears falling. Luke was sitting in his bunk and he soon found that he had some falling too. He listened to Christal console me.
"It's okay, if you don't want to continue it's okay."
"I..it's okay... um.. that night I heard what sounded like two gunshots, I did not know that my uncle had a gun, anyway I poked my head and saw a hand and blood, I grabbed a bag and packed some clothes and my wolf. I ran, as fast as I could, I stopped under a bridge and fell asleep, the next morning I watched cops head to my house, I walked fast the other way... I was not looking when I bumped into someone.. I never got his name but I knew he was Australian, anyway he asked if I was okay but I ran, he kept walking, I had a blade in my hand when I got out of sight from him.."
"Wait, did you cut?"
'She cuts! She's so young! She was the one I ran into?' Luke thought.
"I did when I was like four but stoped, I cut once that day but threw my blade cause I did not want to anymore, I walked past an arena when I heard music so I slipped in and that's when I head for King and Country for the first time, they had this part where they sang' I want to tell you I'm okay, I want to say I'm not in pain but I would just be tellin lies, I'm not okay.. then it said People Change,' I was like ya but my uncle won't ever change, and I left when a shorter guy started talking about being 'Priceless and I thought I was not so I left, I walked through a neighborhood when I heard another music from a house and it was something about shoulders, when I heard a voice ask a guy named Joel, i knew it was those people I heard the other night, I felt a hand on my shoulder and a woman asked who I was so I ran, I came back later that day to see a huge bus by that house... as I was watching that guy I ran into asked who I was but when I ran he was able to stop me, I soon found my self talking to Joel and Luke and then they invited me here... i..I just feel like I should not be here... I should run cause I'm not perfect and I'm not 'Priceless' I'm ugly and fat and worthless, I'm a suspect for murder, I'm..im.. I should just die." I said it then I just started bawling. Christal gathered me into her arms.
(Luke's PoV)
I was crying when i heard what she thought of herself. I was in my bunk and I felt so sad for her, I heard the bus door open and I heard them leave, I stuck my head in the living area and they were no where to be seen, I went back to my bunk cause my head was hurting so bad but I needed to tell Joel.
So I texted him.
'Joel! Hurry to our bus! I really need you!' I texted.
'Luke? Are you okay?! Is it your stomach!?" He asked.
'I'm not 100 but it's not about me.' I texted.
'Okay! I'm on my way should I bring a medic?'
'No, I'll be okay Joel, it's not about me, I'll explain when u get here.' I texted and I closed my eyes till I heard the bus for open and I heard Joel call for me frantically.
"It's..okay Joel, I'm right here." I told him, scooting up to a sitting position when he came in.
"You okay?" He asked, I saw some concern.
"I've got a bad headache but it's not about me Joel, it's about Eve."
"Oh, what about her?" Now I saw some confusion with concern.
"I overheard Eve talking about her past, Joel, it's really scary! It's bad, um..she does not know that I was in here so don't tell her, I want her to come to us."
"Oh, sure Luke, what did she say?"
I spent ten minutes summing up what I heard, when I finished Joel wiped a tear from his eyes and I had a few too."
"She's had a rough past, the best we can do is Pray, why don't you rest, take some meds and come out when your done." Joel told me.
"Ya, okay Joel, um..if she tells you, let me know.?"
"Sure Luke. Get some rest."
Joel left me after he gave me some meds.
(Joel's PoV)
I walked out thinking about what Luke told me till I bumped into Mike.
"Oh, sorry Mate."
"It's fine, you okay Joel? Where's Luke?"
"He's resting he has a really bad headache so he's trying to sleep it off."
"Oh, well I hope he feels better but what about you?" Mike asked.
"A lot going on right now Mike, I'll be okay. I just need to sort it out, I'll tell you later if we can."
"If your sure Joel, I'll talk to you later."
"I'll be okay Mike, I just need to spend some time alone to sort it out, it's a lot but I'll be okay, if u need me I am going on a walk, I have my phone so you can call if Luke gets worse or if someone needs me, I won't be far."
"Okay, be safe!" Mike told me, I nodded then left.
I was walking the park, stoped a few times to say hi to some fans and while I was walking I got a call.
"Hello?"
"Hey Joel, its Emily."
"Hey Love, how are you?"
"Joel, Luke just threw up, what do we do?"
"Oh um... is he in any stomach pain, who's with you?"
"Um..no he says it's just his head,Mike is, Lauren went to grab some sprite."
"Okay, there are some stomach relaxants under the sink of our bus, give him two, and... ya go ahead and give him one more migraine relief pill, do you want me back?" I told her after looking at my watch.
"Okay, um.. ya, Luke wants you. Better Hurry Joel, Luke feels like he's going to puke again."
"I'm on the way." I turned and started to run back. When I got on the bus I heard Luke start to Puke again.
"Easy Brother, breath it's okay, I'm here, is your stomach hurting?" I asked as I passed Mike and Lauren.
Luke shook his head no.
"Okay, migraines make you sick sometimes, breath and try to drink." I told him and brought water to his lips for him to drink.
"This sucks." Luke said.
"I know it does Brother, hopefully the meds will kick in soon."
"I think I need to sleep." Luke said.
"Okay Brother I'll help you to the bed." I helped Luke to the main bed in the back so he could stretch out, the bunks are tiny, Mike helped too, once he was laying down and I gave him some more meds and water I told everybody to leave and I wrote a note and taped it to our bus door saying
'Luke is not feeling good so he is resting, please do not enter unless you have too then,  please be as quiet as possible, thank you!
Signed Joel of For King and Country.'
Then I left to help with some stage stuff, I prayed a quick prayer that Luke would feel better before the show that is in less then four hours.
I was doing stage set up for two hours cause I also had to help do some drum testing when I felt my pocket vibrate, I picked it up and I heard a very tired Voice,
"Joel.."
"Luke! Are you okay?"
"Joel, I can't stop getting sick... I just puked again and I still feel like puking again...." then I heard Luke heave over the line again. I grimaced.
"Luke! Does your stomach hurt at all? Is it a flare up?"
"No, that's the weird thing.... no pain..."
"Luke! I'm on my way back, I'm bringing a medic!" I told him, I heard him heave again, I ran then as I passed the medical station I called,
"Hey! I need a medic and a medical kit!" I called, a medic jumped up and grabbed a kit, I ran out with him on my heels, I got to the bus to find Luke laying on the bed.
"What's going on Mr. Smallbone?" The medic asked as he set the
bag down and grabbed somethings out of it.
"L..Luke.. call me Luke,i.. I don't know, I..I can't stop puking... I've got a really bad headache."
"Any medical conditions?"
"I have a digestive disorder but this is not from that, I have no stomach pain."
"I see, when did you get this headache?" The medic asked as he took Luke's vitals.
"Earlier this afternoon, like maybe eleven, I started puking at maybe 1."
"Luke, do you have any pain here?" The medic asked as he pushed areas of his stomach.
"No..I..I feel sick.." luke said as he sat up.
The medic grabbed a bad from the kit and held it as Luke mostly dry heaved.
"This your fifth time puking?"
"About that much."
"Take this." The medic gave him some meds and two minutes later Luke puked it
Up.
"It's okay, I wanted him to puke to see if I could figure it out, what was the last thing you ate?" The medic asked when he saw my concerned face.
"I had McDonald's yesterday."
"Did anything taste different?"
"The burger was a little on the pinker side."
"Luke, you have had a bad reaction to food poisoning, take this three times in eight hours, if you feel like puking don't worry it's just your body trying to get rid of the poison, take this either before or after you puke, try and sleep, if you feel better then feel free to preform since it's about two hours before you show so if you want you can preform but if you still can't stop vomiting tell Joel or someone to get me and don't preform, if you preform and you feel like your going to puke then have a backup plan. I'll be back stage for the show so if you need come find me and I can tell you if you should continue or not. I think you will be okay."
"Thanks."
"Get some rest Luke, it's the best option."
"Call if you need me brother, I have to let the others know, we will set a plan up for you if you want to preform."
"I want to Joel."
"Okay, get some sleep." Joel and everyone else left.

I gathered everyone up.
"Okay guys, so Luke has had a headache for a long time and he just started to vomit, the medic that looked said it's food poisoning he thinks he should be okay to preform but I'll need you guys to help me get Luke off the stage if he feels sick. We need to make a cover so if he needs to run off stage we need to make it look like it's apart of the show to draw less attention to Luke."
"Sure Joel, any ideas?" Mike said.
"Were preforming Run Wild, Shoulders, Long Live, Dreamers. Priceless and Proof of your love and maybe add In ceasefire if time allows, Proof of your love will be our closing song where you all will sing with us, I'm thinking that Mandisa, you could come on stage during Dreamers, shoulders and then Mike you in for Run Wild, Long live and then Lauren you come out for Priceless, and you can join in Shoulders, Mandisa you will come with Priceless, oh ya Lauren if you want a different song then we can do that." I told them.
We soon had the set list,
'Priceless, Mandisa and Lauren.
'Shoulders, Mike and Mandisa
'Run wild, Lauren and Mike
'Dreamers, we have a special guest joining, it's Colton Dixion, I've been keeping him updated so I'll have him do dreamers.
'Long Live' will be Colton and Lauren."
Ceasefire, Colton.

"Okay Joel!" Said Mandisa.
The others approved too.
I then received a text from Luke.
"Hey I got to go, I'll explain it to Luke."
I left and hurried to Luke.
"You okay Luke?!"
"Ya, tired of my stomach turning inside out.
"How many times?"
"Twice."
"Luke, are you sure you want to preform?"
"Ya, my stomach feels a little better but I want to preform."
"Well we have a plan."
So I spent the next few minutes explaining the idea on how we're doing this.
Luke agreed to it then puked again.
"I'm sorry Luke, need anything?"
"For this to stop."
"I know brother."
(Two hours later.)
(Joel)
I was doing the final check when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"How are you feeling Luke, you still look awful.
"Gee, thanks brother, I feel a little better."
"Okay, so what we decided is that If you feel like your going to puke just tap me then you head toward the backstage and whoever plays will come out to to show hide your disappearance, you can come on when you feel better.
"I'm going to try to go as long as possible.."
"Okay, but don't push your self to hard." I told him. Then it was time to preform.
We were in the middle of dreamers when I stole a glance at Luke, he looked really bad.
(Luke)
We were singing Dreamers and I had been doing really good till this and my stomach learched, I was able to keep it hidden but I think my brother knoticed.
Toward the end of Dreamers I knew I was going to be sick, I made my way toward Joel and taped him.
(Joel)
We were Finishing Dreamers when I felt Luke tap me and when I looked at him he looked really bad. As soon as the music ended Luke ran off stage.
(Luke)
As soon as the music stoped I ran off, mike called for me but I ran to the bathroom and puked, I felt a hand rubbing my back, when I was able to turn I saw the medic that helped me in the bus.
"You okay Luke?"
"Ya... I thought I would be okay but nope..." Luke said.
"Just take it easy Luke, do you want to continue?"
"Ya, I'm okay."
"Okay, here, take this, it may help, I don't know how sever your case was but it may help." The medic handed me a tablet so I took it. A few minutes after spitting a few more times to clear my mouth I got up and hurried as Joel started Ceasefire. We had Priceless next. Joel came next to me and wispered into my ear before we started Ceasefire,
'You okay?'
'I will be.'
Joel nodded then we started Ceasefire.
I was able to do Ceasefire, During Priceless  I started to feel off again, I wanted to power through this, cause I already left once. The last song we were doing was Proof of your love.
We finished Priceless and while I was getting ready to start PYL (Proof of your love) I just suddenly gaged. I covered my mouth and luckily it was a dry heave, I should have told Joel but it was too late the song had already started. I went out and did most of the song, the other artist came out and while we were doing the final part I knew I had to go, I ran to Joel, taped him then ran off stage, luckily the medic was ready with a bucket so he passed it to me and helped me to the bathroom, he gave me water and I kept it down for a little but it came up again. I heard the crowd cheer then I heard Joel go on the mic.
"So y'all know the band For King and Country and you know I preform with my brother Luke, well you saw him sometimes and sometimes you did not, Luke has been battling severe Food poising so he sometimes would have to run of stage, that's why he was not here for the end cause he was feeling sick, oh! Hey Mates, say hi to my brother Luke!"
I walked on stage and everyone was clapping, so I grabbed a mic.
"How y'all doing tonight!?" I asked but I did not yell as much.
Once the cheering quieted down I spoke,
"So Joel told you that I've been sick, it is true, I have been getting sick since 1 this afternoon and we had to use medical help but I was informed it's severe food poisoning so I will be okay it's just going to be uncomfortable for a few hours more or a day, I just could not preform like my normal self cause I was not always 100%, I am sorry for those who's first concert of ours and I hope you will come see us again soon to see how crazy we can really get!" I told them and my stomach started to turn again, I looked at Joel eyes telling them, wrap this up!
"Well, I really hope you guys injoyed this! It's not over yet y'all welcome Tenth Avenue North!" My brother yelled and Everyone cheered and Joel helped me off stage and then I ran with Joel behind me to the bathroom, the medic following.
"I'm soo tired of this!" I cried as I proceeded to vomit stuff I did not know I ate, the medic did a quick vital check, then he called into his radio
'2826 northside need a 27.'
"What does that mean?" Joel asked.
"We're going to bring in a stretcher for Luke to lay down on, we will wheel him to the bus so he does not need to walk, he looks very week and he's very dehydrated, we will also probably start a IV to keep him hydrated,
'2826 northside need 36.' The medic called over his Radio.
"I was asking for an IV to start while he's in here."
The medic informed. I grimace when I heave really hard.
"Luke! You need to take it easy, I know your uncomfortable but you need to breath, look, I want to give you some food so you if you start to get sick it will be a little easier on your stomach." The medic said as he knelt down by Luke again.
I  just nodded tears falling.
I turned when I heard the door opened, another medic arrived towing a stretcher and had an IV hanging for me.
"Luke, do you think you can get to the gurney?" The medic asked.
With the help of Joel and the two medics I got laying down.
The medic started an IV then they wheeled me to the bus, I had a bag on my face incase I felt sick again, don't worry it was a special bag, anyway they helped me off the gurney to our bed. They hung the IV by the bed and the second medic took the gurney and left and the other stayed to make sure everything was okay,
"Luke, I left you this, push it if you feel any strong pain anywhere or if you start to puke Blood, if you do I would rather you get taken to the ER right away or call me immediately." The medic said and showed me a special button.
"Thanks."
"No problem, get some rest Luke." Then Joel and the medic left.
