[Vic's POV]

I strummed in the studio with Tony as we went thorough some rehearsals, then I got a call from our Casey.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey, bud, I got some bad news," he said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"We're short on merch. Patricia had to quit," he said.

"Are you serious, why?" I asked.

"Her mom passed away or something, I don't know. Look, the boss wants to know if your sister can do it, because tour is next week and he doesn't have time to call a last minute," he said.

"Shit. Yeah, I'll ask Rosie. I'll call him when I get an answer. Tell Patricia we're sorry and our thoughts go out to her family," I said.

"Gotcha. See ya," he said and hung up.

"What happened with Patty?" Tony asked.

"I think her mom passed, so she can't work merch. We need to ask Rosie if she can do it," I said.

"Damn, that sucks. And I'm sure Rosario can do it," he said.

Just then the door opened and Rosie walked in. "Hey, guys," she said.

"Sup, Rosie?" I asked.

"I bought you guts some food," she said, handing us both doggy bags.

"Whoa, thanks," I said.

"Its vegetarian, right?" He asked, since the restaurant Rosie works at is a Colombian steakhouse.

"Don't worry, Tony, its your favorite garden salad," she smiled.

"Yay!" He smiled.

She smiled back as she placed two bags next to me. "That's Jaime's and Mike's."

"Thanks, sis. Say, didn't you get anything for yourself?" I asked.

"Nah, I already ate before I left. I'm fine, thanks," she said.

I nodded as I took out the tray from the bag.

"Hey, can we ask you something?" I asked.

"What's up?" She asked.

"See, Patricia quit," Tony said, already eating.

"Really, what happened?" She asked.

"Her mom died I think," I said. "So we need someone to take her place for tour next week. Do you think maybe you can do it?"

"Me?" She asked. "I don't know, that means a lot of time off, Vic."

"I know, but I wouldn't be asking you if it were serious, because there's no other person to replace Patricia, and the boss is too busy to try and call one up," I said.

She sighed and thought about it. "Let me talk to my boss tomorrow and we'll see."

"Thanks so much, hermanita," I said, then noticed Tony staring at something weirdly.

She smiled. "Anytime," she said. "Its getting late, so I should be going. Adios," she said, kissing my cheek and then Tony's before she left and we said bye.

"Hey, did you notice that?" Tony said, sipping some water.

"Notice what?" I asked.

"Her arm... It was covered in bandages," he said worriedly.

I froze. Bandages? How come I didn't notice?

"Where?" I asked.

"Like, here," Tony said, motioning to a part of his arm.

"I didn't notice... Maybe she got burned at work. She's sometimes in the kitchen to bring in orders, so maybe she got hurt with one of the ovens," I said.

"Maybe, but something didn't feel right to me," he said worriedly.

"Where are you getting at? That my sister self harms?" I asked in shock.

"I don't know. Who knows," he said.

"I doubt she would. She was always scared of the razors, and sadly saw when I did it," I admitted.

"Oh. Well, yeah, maybe it was just a work injury," Tony said.

I nodded as we continued, Jaime and Mike soon coming as we practiced, ate, then all left home.

[Rosie's POV]

**Small Trigger Warning**

Today was horrible.

My coworker, Gerome, was so mean to me, insulting me in front of the customers.

At least seeing my brother and Tony cheered me up a little.

A little.

I sighed as I gently washed the blood from the new cuts I added before drying and treating the lacerations, wrapping them in bandages before feeding Nala.

I sighed and drank some tea as I sat on the couch.

I want to go on tour and help... But what if Vic or Mike find out? Or Tony and Jaime?

I wouldn't be able to bear the fact of them finding out what I'm hiding. Lately I've felt like they suspect me.

Not to mention I don't do well with other people. I'm not very good at being social, and the fact that I'll be face to face with FANS just scares me.

But these are my brothers. They've been with me through a lot. I love them, as well as Jaime and Tony, even the girls.

Well, except Danielle. There's just something about her I can't really trust, but my brother loves her, and if he's happy, then I'm happy.

I sigh, wiping my tears away.

If I agree to this,then I have to be really careful.
