There are times I can't help but wonder what the fuck is going on in the male head. Maybe being female means I don't have to. Acey's been spending as much time as we have locked in hotel rooms, at least we have an excuse, definately a good excuse. I think the fact the 'Dolls start touring in two days meant Edsel thought he might help Acey. The whole thing is a little beyond me, I barely cope with what is happening with the guys I am travelling with let alone anyone else.
I was asked not to intervene, "no matter what happens don't do anything", so I sat in the other room and heard the taunts shaking my head. The sound of the first crack brought me to my feet, I wanted to go in there and beat the two of them to a pulp for being so male. But I waited until I heard the door slam and I knew one of them had left.
Edsel was on the floor, he got out "I'm okay love it just looks bad" before he went out cold. I had to get him off the floor so I went and knocked on the other doors, no one was in. I had no choice, I called Acey. "You better get back here and help me." He didn't want to, he was worried his face was the last Edsel wanted to see when he came round. He was probably right but Edsel needed to be moved and I wasn't leaving him on the floor. We got him into the other room and onto the bed. He half woke and winced. I knew he'd be fine at that point and Acey left again, still dealing with whatever was going around in his mind.
Sometimes you want to reach out and get people to open up, to talk to you so you can try in some small way to help them. With Acey I knew I would probably make it worse so I watched him leave without a word and getting some face towels wet them and started cleaning Edsel up. I don't know how he is going to do the show tonight, but he will. I even had to get the old first aid kit out and put in 4 stitches. He's not a pretty sight right now.
Sorry for waking you Jon and thankyou for being there.
