PROLOGUE
Taylor Hanson quickly fastened his seat belt and organised his journal,
book and pen in the pocket in front of him. Next to him, Zac bounced up
and down in his seat, while Ike tried desperately to hold him down.
Zac, Tay started disapprovingly. Youre worse than Mackie!
Im just happy! Zac bounced higher. Weíre going on tour! Staying in
hotels with cool bottles of shampoo, meeting girls and..
Playing music! Ike interrupted, laughing at his brother. Thats what
this tourís really about! Playing music to the fans!
Its gonna be so cool! Zac yelled loudly, ignoring Ike and Tay.
Everyone turned to face him and Taylor cringed, wondering why Zac
insisted on being so embarrassing all the time. You know everyone,
Zac said even louder, enjoying being the centre of attention. Hansons
Albertane Tour is going to ROCK! There were screams from the girls on
the flight and with in seconds the boys were surrounded by them, signing
autographs and shaking hands. Zac, still high from his sugar filled
breakfast, grabbed one of the girls hands and held it up yelling again,
Hansons Albertane Tour is going to ROCK!
Tay and Ike laughed as a stewardess came over to them, guiding the girls
back to their seats and telling Zac to kindly stop yelling so much!
As the plane took off several minutes later, Taylor thought to himself,
Prozacs right though. This is gonna be so cool!
CHAPTER ONE
The last note of MMMBop faded and instantaneously, the crowd grew
louder. Even through the sounds of his earplugs, the sounds stung
Taylors ears. He glanced sympathetically over at his 2 brothers, they
were all thinking the same thing Taylor could tell. Zac, taking control
of the situation, yelled into his microphone,
We know you love us, but PLEASE stop the screaming! We want to be able
to hear at the end of the tour! The crowds yells turned to laughs and
realising he had done no good Zac sighed,
Should have known it wouldnt work. He thought as he put down his
drumsticks and started heading to the front of the stage where Tay and
Ike were all ready standing waiting for him. Of course, theyd think it
was a joke. Zac Hanson only ever jokes. They always think that
The 3 brothers met in the middle of the stage and Tay spoke into his
microphone, trying to be heard over the crowd. It took a while, but
eventually Tay could hear himself say
Well thatís about it you guys! Thanks heaps for coming, it was a
blast! Tay tried to speak normally and naturally, but it seemed too
hard. After all, it was only the 60th billionth time hed said those
same words since the beginning of the tour. The only thing that had
changed where the people he was saying it to.
It was great guys! Ike noticed Tay was drifting off into his own
world, as he seemed to a lot recently. He had definitely been acting
weird lately, but then it could just have been because he had grown up.
Theyd all grown up lately. Remember to go and buy the new single..
Stop the fucking self-advertising Ike! Tay thought to himself. Theyre
all obsessed and probably have it all ready anyway.
Zac remained silent, listening to his brother go on about something. He
didnt really understand or know what Ike was going on about, but then
he didnt care anyway. He glanced around him. It was like every other
concert theyd done. Girls and more girls. Before, Zac would have
scanned the audience for some Cindy Crawford look a like, but the
novelty of that had warn off many shows ago. Anyway, most of these girls
were too young to look like Cindy Crawford.
Finally, after what seemed like years, Ike stopped talking and the 3
brothers said their good-byes and ran off. Standing just off in the
wings stood their parents Diana and Walker. Diana stepped forward and
quickly greeted her sons with a hug and a kiss, Ike was the only one who
responded at all. Diana was about to comment when Walker cut in saying
rather loudly,
It went well guys but, Theyd been waiting for a but. It had to
happen with the performance they had just given. It wasnt one of your
best performances. The harmonies were off in Wheres the Love and
several other songs. Ike you missed cues, Taylor, you nearly forgot to
change to the bongos and Zac..
Yeah I know, I got the words confused in I Will Come To You, Zac
finished for his Dad. He wasnt in the mood for a lecture even though he
knew his Dad was only trying to help.
Are you guys feeling all right? Walker continued, ignoring Zacs
comment.
Just tired Dad, Tay spoke for the whole group. Its been crazy
lately.
Yeah, just tired, Zac backed Tay up.
There was silence for a minute or so. Diana, the constant mother took
the time to look carefully at her sons. They did look tired as Tay and
Zac had just told them, but there was something else, her motherly
instinct told her that.
Walker saw it too. Before, after a concert, the boys had been hyped,
excited, talking about what had gone wrong and girls in the front row.
Now it seemed all they wanted to do was go to bed.
Its probably because we havent been home for a while. Diana tried to
justify the behaviour, but she still wasnt sure about it all.
Oh. Well, youíll be able to catch up on sleep when we go home to Tulsa
for a while, Walker it seemed had read Dianas mind.
Yeah, thatll be great, Ike said, fake enthusiasm in his voice.
Look, Taylor said, cutting the conversation short. Im hot and Im
going to have a shower, Normally, Tay would have expected some comment
from Zac or Ike about being so hot cause he practically bounced off the
stage, but things werent exactly normal right now. Tay brushed a strand
of sweaty blonde hair out of his eye and then walked off in the
direction of the dressing room.
For a few seconds, Zac stared after Tay. He sighed softly to himself,
thinking about things and then remembering his parents were standing
there, he ran off quickly after Tay, yelling behind him,
I gotta go and ask Tay about this song. Be back later!
There was silence. Seeing that both of his brothers were now gone and
Ike was left alone, Diana decided it was the perfect opportunity to find
out what was going on with at least one of her sons.
You know you can tell us anything, Diana started.
Yeah I know, Ike mumbled.
So, whats really wrong with you all?
Like Tay said, were just tired.
CHAPTER 2
Zac tossed and turned, trying desperately to fall asleep. At the
moment, there was nothing he wanted more than to be at home, in his own
house, in his own room and in his own bed. Hotels could be fun, but they
got to you after a while.
God, why did I ever complain about my bed? Zac said softly to
himself. Even smelling Tays feet as I sleep is better than this.
Zac smiled at the memory. It had been the cause of so many fights
whenever the Hansons were at home. Tay had this interesting way of
sleeping. While most people kept their body on the bed as they slept,
Tay didnt and every night, somehow, his feet and part of his legs ended
up on Zac. Now it was funny, but it hadnt been when Tay had kicked him
in the middle of the night or the time Ike had tripped over Tay when
hed gotten up to go to the bathroom.
Zac stopped smiling when he looked over at Tays bed. He didnít sleep
like that anymore. Ever since a few weeks into the tour, Zac had noticed
a change. Now Tay curled up tightly, his legs drawn to his chest, the
covers wrapped around him firmly or as Zac thought, claustraphobically.
Why am I thinking about how Tay sleeps? Zac wondered to himself. At
least he is asleep moron.
Zac lay in bed for another half-hour or so, tapping the drum beat to
MMMBop unconsciously before he threw the covers off his legs and hopped
out onto the floor. He paused for a while, considering whether he could
put the TV on without waking up his brothers. He doubted that, after
all, hed woken Ike up the night before by getting a glass of water.
Nah, it just wasnt worth it.
I know what Ill do! A great idea dawned on Zac. He moved quickly to
the collection of bags stacked by the door and felt around until he
found his own. Unzipping his bag as softly as possible, Zac grabbed his
discman, journal and a pen. Smiling happily to himself because he hadnt
woken anyone yet, Zac and his things headed out onto the balcony. No one
else was out on the hotel balconies and very few people were in their
cars below him, Zac smiled again.
No Scream Squad! Looks like this was a good idea. Zac thought to
himself as he sat down on one of the chairs, opened his journal, started
his discman and began writing,
This is scary to admit, but Mum and Dad were right about this journal
thing. I used to think it would just make us more money, I mean come on
ZAC HANSONS JOURNAL ON SALE TODAY!!!! FIND OUT ALL THE DEEP AND DARK
SECRETS OF HANSONS BRILLIANT DRUMMER!!!!!!!!! (Hey, it could still
make money!) But its sorta cool too! (Shit, I sound like Tay! Gotta see
someone about that!)
We did another concert tonight. Even Im getting fed up with our music.
All those fans who say they put the CD on repeat are insane! Or theyre
lying! And EVERYONE still likes Tay, I mean of course hes the cutest
that rat tail and his voice and his butt (God, these girls are hopeless!
Dont they realise anyone can grow a rat tail and say oh every 5
seconds!) and Tay loves them all as much of course. (Woah, that sounds
as though Tay is fucking every fan! That could be why sales are going
down!)
Zac paused in his writing and laughed. He then quickly added a few more
sentences complaining about hotel beds and pillows before he started
drawing his cartoons. He sat there happily, drawing his brothers and it
wasnt long before Zac tuned out all together as his hand continued to
glide across the page.
Hey Zac! The door to the balcony opened and Taylor stepped outside.
His blonde hair was messy and there was sleep in his eyes. Zac jumped at
the sound and then spun round to face his brother.
Oh hey Tay!
Whatcha doing out here? There could be photographers or fans or.. Tay
trailed off. And youre not wearing much! He added, indicating to
Zacs boxers and T-shirt.
Im wearing more than you! Zac teased, looking at his brothers bare
chest. Anyway, theyd want photos of you half naked more than theyd
want them of me!
Hey! Tay punched Zac playfully in the arm. Zac leaned to the other
side of the chair and his journal fell from his lap to the floor, still
open to the page. Tay, with lightening quick reactions, grabbed it. He
looked down at the drawings for a second and then handed it back to Zac
saying,
Theyíre pretty good!
Thanks! Zac paused. You know me!
Haha, Tay laughed. Very funny Zac! Hey, I bet thats the alien from
Man from Milwaukee! Zac looked carefully at the picture, weird look on
its face, a balding head, big toes and a walkie-talkie held in its right
hand.
He says that where hes from is called Albertane, Zac sang softly.
Tay?
Yeah Zac?
Do you think youd wanna live in Albertane?
Getting deep Zac! Tay teased.
Would ya?
Nah, its too Tay paused. You?
No way!
CHAPTER THREE
Diana Hanson knocked loudly on her sons door. Seeing there was no
response, she turned to her husband and he said,
They canít still be asleep! Theres that interview at the radio
station and..
Walker, Diana interrupted. What do you think is wrong with them all?
I look at them and itís like theyíre not there!
Honey, theyre just tired like Taylor said.
Walker, you heard them play last night! They were terrible, not at all
like them. They dont do anything apart from play do interviews and
sleep at the moment. Im worried.
They just need a break! Its been a long month or so! Walker tried to
reassure her.
Diana sighed. She wanted to believe that all the boys needed was a
longish break in Tulsa. But she couldnt and even if she did, it would
be a long time before they could back to Tulsa. After all, they werent
even half way through the tour yet!
Walker reached into his pocket. They always kept a key to the boys
room, ever since Zac had accidentally locked the key in the room and the
3 had nearly been mobbed by a group of fans. He pulled the key out
quickly and pulled open the door softly.
The room was silent. Only Ike lay asleep in bed, the covers falling off
his body. The other 2 beds were empty, even though it was obvious theyd
been occupied during the night. Diana and Walkers eyes met.
Walker, where are they? Diana looked frantically around the room,
searching for any signs of a note or anything that would lead her to
them.
Maybe they just went for a blade, Walker said logically. Zac was
complaining yesterday he hadnt been blading for a while.. Walker
continued as Diana ran to the cupboard. Within seconds, she pulled out 2
pairs of blades.
Theyre still here, Walkers eye caught a glimpse of blonde hair
through the gap of the curtains leading out to the balcony.
Di, Walker interrupted. I think I know where they are! He quickly
opened the curtains to reveal a sleeping Zac and Tay. Ike, waking up at
the sudden burst of light into the room, sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes
sleepily,
Oh man. What are you guys doing in here? Diana smiled.
Morning Ike! Diana and Walker chorused cheerfully.
Morning, Ike answered quickly. What are you doing in here?
You were meant to meet us an hour ago for breakfast honey, Diana
started. We wondered where you were.
Oh, Ike glanced across at the clock, still waking up. We must have
slept in. Ike looked at the empty beds next to him, not seeing the
sleeping bodies on the balcony. Um, where are Zac and Tay? he asked
his parents, confused.
Out there, Walker answered, pointing to his sleeping sons. Ike
frowned, not understanding why his brothers were asleep on the balcony
instead of in bed. He didnt like the mornings much! Ike, could you go
and get ready, weve got that radio interview today.
Oh shit! Ike swore loudly, not remembering his parents were in the
room. Diana and Walker shot him dirty looks and Ike continued
embarrassed. I forgot all about that, yeah íll get ready, He quickly
jumped out of bed and walked to the cupboard. After grabbing some
clothes, Ike wandered off into the bathroom and within a few seconds,
Diana and Walker could hear the water going.
You want to wake the sleeping beauties? Walker laughed.
Yeah, sure honey! Diana was all ready opening the door. She paused
for a second as she stepped out onto the balcony, smiling at her sons.
Taylor and Zac had moved the chairs so they were closer together and
Zacs head leant on Tays shoulder. Their blonde hair mingled together
and both brothers had smiles on their faces. It seemed such a shame to
wake them.
Diana, sighing, stepped in front of the chair and gently shock Taylor,
being careful not to wake up Zac as she did so. With in a few minutes,
the blue eyes opened sleepily and looked around confused. Gradually,
Tays eyes focused on his mother.
Mum? He asked confused. Why am I out here?
I donít know honey. You and Zac were asleep like this when we came
up! Diana explained, trying to keep the smile off her face. Taylor,
still confused, looked down at Zacs sleeping body, leaning against him.
Oh yeah, Taylor started, slowly remembering the details of last
night. I heard some noise out here and Zac was sitting here drawing. We
must have fallen asleep. Diana nodded and then gently moved onto Zac.
She repeated the procedure she had with Taylor and like with Taylor, Zac
slowly woke up and realised where he was.
Morning honey!
Morning Mum! Zac said, rubbing his eyes sleepily. Whats going on?
Why are Taylor and I out here in our boxers? Taylor smiled and stood up
from his chair, stretching as he said,
Hows Mum meant to know? We came out here last night remember?
The alien from Man from Milwaukee! Zac remembered slowly. Diana
looked at her sons, confused, wondering what they were talking about.
Yeah, I remember Tay. Albertane! Taylor smiled sadly as he remembered
what he and his brother had said the night before.
You guys better go and get dressed. Youve got a radio interview in
less than half an hour! Tay looked down at his watch, realising what
the time was.
Oh man! He said, knowing his mother was there. Come on Zac! Well
talk about last night later! Zac smiled, hed hoped Taylor had
forgotten what hed said the night before. No such luck obviously. But
right now, we need to get ready! Taylor led Zac back inside and Diana
closed the door after them.
Okay, I know u probably hate author's notes and stuff, but I don't want
people emailing me about this. I DON'T THINK HANSON ARE GAY! (And I
doubt Zac would say that too!) Also, I don't think Walker would act like
that! Don't bother emailing me complaining. You've been warned.
CHAPTER FOUR
Taylor opened the door to the hotel room and quickly shut it behind
him. He paused for a second, leaning heavily on the door and shut his
blue eyes. A few stray tears rolled down onto his cheeks and Taylor
thought to himself,
Stop this! Taylor Hanson doesnt cry! He never cries! Taylor wiped the
tears away quickly. He still couldnt believe what had happened that
day.
It had all started that morning at the radio station. It had been a
normal interview to begin with, the normal questions about music, the
new single and then it had gone onto the inevitable topic of
girlfriends. Ike had quickly answered that, talking about being on the
road too much and Taylor had done his normal thing of staying silent. It
was Zacs answer that had surprised everyone. For a few seconds, he
hadnt said anything, but then he blurted out,
Look, weíre travelling all the time, we havent been home in over a
month. We dont want girlfriends! Wed never see them and theyd just
hate us! Hed paused for a second, taking a deep breath before he
continued. It doesnít matter if we have girlfriends anyway! I mean, if
all the fans were really fans, theyd like us if we had girlfriends, if
we didnt or if we were gay! It shouldnít matter!
That hadnt been too bad, according to Taylor. Of course, the
interviewer would probably never think of Hanson in the same way! But
that didnt matter to Taylor, after all, Zac had just said what he was
thinking! But it had been Walkers out burst in the car that had really
upset Taylor. That and what happened in the lobby of the hotel too.
Tay had known they were in trouble from the moment theyd gotten into
the car. His fathers face was filled with anger and he hadnt said a
word until the family had piled into the van they had rented for the
tour. Then all hell had broken loose. Firstly, hed started yelling at
Zac, telling him that what hed said had been completely uncalled for
and inappropriate. Zac had just sat there, very unusual for him, not
saying anything. Taylor and Ike had quickly glanced at each other,
wondering what would happen next. It wasnt very often that his father
lost his temper, but when he did, they all knew about it.
Walker had kept yelling at Zac for nearly all the trip home, to the
shock of all the Hanson clan. Zac still hadnít said anything and
gratefully climbed quickly out of the van when they reached the hotel.
Even the Scream Squad was better than this! But even that hadnt stopped
Walker. The family walked into the lobby, Walker still telling Zac off,
though he dropped his voice.
Like every other hotel they stayed in, there were fans everywhere. The
crowd quickly headed over to the group, eager to meet the boys and get
their autographs. Seeing them swelling around him, Zac had whispered to
his dad,
Can you do this later? Not in front of them, please! Taylor could
only just hear his dads response,
Zac, I will NOT finish this later. You.. Taylor didnt want to hear
the rest. He quickly stopped walking, allowing Zac and his father to
catch up to him.
Look Dad. Just leave Zac alone for now! He looked away, half-afraid
of what his dad would say. No one had ever really stood up to him when
Walker was in such a bad mood. Not in front of the fans! Walker
remained silent for a few seconds, and then said quickly to Taylor,
I will not tolerate my 15 year old son telling me what to do! He
spoke loudly. Everyone in the lobby could hear him, well according to
Taylor anyway. Even if everyone couldnt hear him, many people could and
they all turned round to see Walker telling off his son. Jordan Taylor
Hanson, you do not run this household and have no control over what I
do! Zac and Taylor glanced down at the floor, embarrassed. Sensing his
brother was upset, Zac inched closer to Taylor and gently grabbed his
hand, whispering,
Shit Tay! Im sorry! Taylor didnt answer and continued to listen to
his father.
I know that you think just because millions of girls are in love with
you, this means you can do anything, but it doesnít! Walker glared at
Taylor, and seeing he wasnt looking at him, grabbed Taylor and pulled
him closer to him, forcing his son to look him in the eyes. Taylor tried
to look away, but his fathers grip was too strong. Do you understand?
There was no answer from Taylor. Do you understand? His father
repeated. Taylor, not trusting his voice, just nodded. Walker, now
satisfied let Taylor go and for a second, there was complete silence
from the lobby.
Taylor had looked around, the fans all seemed to be in complete shock.
He caught Ikes eye, and Ike looked back at him sympathetically. Zac had
done the same, but Taylor could see pity in his eyes as well.
He couldnt take it. Feeling the hotel key in his pocket, Taylor had
run quickly to the stairs. He hadnt stopped until he reached his floor
and was inside the room.
Fuck! Taylor swore out loud. He then gazed at the door, realising his
father had a key. He quickly fastened the chain and satisfied, said to
himself, There. At least Ill get some time alone!
Taylor had only been in the room for a few minutes before he heard a
knock at the door. His body tensed, wondering which family member it
was. He didnt want to talk to anyone, and waited impatiently for them
to go away.
Honey, its me! Taylor recognised his mothers voice. Please let me
in honey! We need to talk about this!
Go away mum! Taylor answered quickly. I dont wanna talk to you or
anyone!
Taylor, please! Diana pleaded. Im your mother, let me in honey! We
need to talk, youre Dads really sorry! He was just mad and.. Diana
trailed off, knowing that it probably wouldnt do any good. Look,
honey, well leave you alone for awhile, but youve got to come out
soon!
Taylor didnít say anything. He quickly stood up from the couch and
flipped the TV on. He channel surfed for awhile, and finally settled on
MTV. Knowing his mother was still there, he hit the volume button and
pushed it until the sound was unbearable.
CHAPTER FIVE
Ike nervously knocked on the door of his hotel room. He didnt want to
do this at all, but he knew hed never forgive himself if he didnt.
Taylor? Can I come in? Ike called out nervously.
Get fucked Ike! The voice came back from inside the room. Ike sighed,
he should have known Taylor wouldnt make this easy for him.
Come on Tay! Im not Mum and Dad or anything! I just want to get
inside my room! Ike complained.
Why cant I ever get any time alone? Taylor complained back.
You never said you wanted any Tay! Ike said logically. There was
silence for a second and then the door swung open in front of Ike.
You can come in! Tay said, not looking at his brother and heading
back to the couch as he turned his focus back to MTV.
Ah Tay, can you like turn that off? I want to talk to you, Ike said
nervously, unsure how his brother would react. Taylor sighed and then
flipped the TV off and turned to face Ike. Ike sat down on his bed
nervously, not knowing what to say next.
So, what do you want to talk about? Tay asked, playing along with
Ike.
About what happened. Dad was out of line!
You dont have to tell me that! Taylor complained. If thats it..
Tay stopped and indicated to the door.
Tay come on! Dont put up the defences with me, its not worth it and
I can see straight through them anyway, Ike knew his brother too well,
and Taylor knew it too. He paused for a second, wondering if Taylor
would say anything, but when he didnt, Ike continued. It was slack of
Dad and he knows it Tay! He feels really bad! Ike tried to persuade his
younger brother.
Yeah, well why did he do it in front of all the fans? Its gonna be
all over the papers and magazines and everything now.
Hes stressed Tay. Like all of us are, this tours making everyone go
a little mad.. There was the sound of the door opening and Taylor and
Ike quickly stopped talking, fearing it was their parents. Zac stepped
into the room and glanced nervously around him.
Were you guys like doing something?
Its cool Zac, Tay assured his brother. You can stay here if you
want.
Zac sat down next to Taylor on the couch, his legs on the table. There
was silence, but then Zac said,
Look, I just wanted to say thanks for that thing with Dad. He was
really mad and.. Zac stopped. He knew Taylor had understood what he
meant.
Its cool Zac. It was just.. Taylor stopped. There was nothing more
to say about this. Zac looked around uncomfortably. Ike just gazed down
at his hands, fiddling with the ring on his finger.
We should practice, Taylor started, unenthustically.
Nah, I cant be bothered, Zac admitted. Itll be fine!
Ike didnt say anything. He didnt want to play much either, but
something Zac had said during an interview came back to him
Its like staying home to practice when you want to go to the movies.
For awhile, the 3 sat there, each feeling slightly guilty, thinking
their own thoughts. Zac too had remembered his movie quote, but hed
spent the time trying to get that out of his head. There was nothing in
the world right now that would make him get behind the drums and play.
At the moment, all he wanted to do was forget he was the Zac Hanson,
Hansons drummer.
Taylor kept replaying the scene from that morning. He heard everything
his father had said over and over, he kept seeing the reactions on
everyones faces. He, like Zac, just didnt want to remember he was
Taylor Hanson and there was no way he was going to start playing the
music that would make him Taylor Hanson.
Ike was feeling the guiltiest. Being the oldest, hed always been the
one who encouraged rehearsing, even when they didnt feel like it. It
was so unusual for him not to tell his brothers that they were going to
practice despite what they all wanted.
Guys, Zac said, breaking the silence. If I told you something, would
you tell Mum and Dad? Zac spoke nervously, obviously not sure if this
was a good idea.
No way Zac! Taylor said quickly, wondering what his brother could be
talking about. Zac looked quickly to Ike, waiting for his answer.
As long as youíre not in trouble or anything, no I wouldnt tell Zac,
Ike assured his brother.
Nah, its not trouble. Not really any way, Zac said.
What do you mean Zac? Ike asked his brother. He had NO idea what Zac
was going on about, but he could tell from the look on his face that it
must be serious. You cant be not really in trouble.
Im not in trouble, no! Zac amended his answer. But I think Mum and
Dad would be mad if they found out!
Taylor thought he knew what was going on. He still vividly remembered
the conversation he and Zac had had last night. To begin with, hed
thought that Zac had simply meant the place Albertane they used in the
song, but now, he knew the deeper image hed imagined was the same as
that of his brother. Taylor, as soon as Albertane was mentioned, had
remembered the name of their tour- Hansons Albertane tour. Thats where
hed not wanted to live, and now, he was sure it was the same for Zac.
This is about last night isnt it? Taylor asked Zac softly. Zac
didnt say anything, but just nodded.
Um, last night? Ike asked confused. What are you talking about?
Well, Tay started, When Zac and I were outside last night, we started
talking about Albertane, and.. Taylor stopped. He didnt know how to
say it.
Zac, are you going to try and explain this better than Blondie here?
After a pause, Zac said to them,
Well, this tour thing. I dont want to keep going.
There was silence. Taylor, thinking back to what he and Zac had been
talking about the night before, sighed and thought,
Of course. Zac wouldnt want to live in Albertane. He said so.
Zac, Ike started. I get it. You just want to go home, see your
friends, Ike paused. Be like a normal guy!
Yeah, thats it. I hate all this, like all the interviews and then the
concerts and saying the same stuff every night and.. Zac cut off. He
didnt want to risk saying anything else.
Me too Zac, Tay admitted softly. He looked away from Zac and Ike,
nervous to meet their eyes. Albertane can be cool to begin with, but it
gets sort of, I dont know.
Ike and Zac recognised the symbol Tay was using. Hansons Albertane
Tour. They didnít say anything for a minute or so, not sure what to say.
Ike, Zac asked. What about you?
I thought I loved music, but its sort of, its getting old.
Is there any way we can just finish this tour and take a break at home
for awhile? Taylor wondered out loud.
We cant quit mid tour Tay! Ike said logically. Thats not fair on
everyone whos bought tickets!
Ike, I know that, but..
How can we keep going? Zac finished.
