Chapter 13

~at lunch~

“So how many songs are you planning on playing tonight?” asked Marion, taking a strand of her already curly hair and twisting it around her finger.

“Well, we were think of about 15, how many do you guys want to play?” asked Zac staring at the tiny slit in Marion’s tank top.

“3 like always” said Marit annoyed that she had to be eating with Hanson, and began throwing her salad around her plate.

Needless to say Hanson nor Marion and Marit were having any fun. It just seemed like the were spending every momunt of their lives together. Also, the tension that was growing between Zac and Marion was driving everyine crazy.

“What’s wrong with Taylor?” asked Marion looking over at Taylor who was passed out again, “He hasn’t said one word and now he’s not moving”

“Hangover” said Isaac and Zac in unision.

“Oh, is he going to be able to play?” asked Marion with a worried look on her face.

“Will you just shut up!” shouted Marit, “I’m really sick of you talking all the time”

Well,” started Isaac standing up and grabbing Zac’s arm, “I think we need to get back to the hotel. I’ll send someone to get Taylor.”

“Bye” Said Marion as Marit continued playing with her food.

“Why are you so nice to them?” asked Marit throwing her fork on her plate which caused a loud band that filled the whole restraunt.

“We have to be with them for 3 months, I better get along with them.”

“Yeah, well I don’t plan on being nice to them.”

~at the concert~ “Taylor, you need to get up” said Avery pulling on her big brother’s arm. As you can tell Taylor was still fighting that hangover. “Mommy, he’s not moving!”

“Jordan Taylor get up!” screamed Mrs. Hanson shacking her son.

“What?” asked Taylor waking up. He tried to get up but was too dizzy to move.

“You have to prefom in an hour, and your still sleeply?”

“He’s not sleeply” laughed Zac, “He’s...”

“He’s just nervous” cut-in Isaac putting his hand over Zac’s mouth so he could talk. Their mom was completely clueless, she had no idea he son was a drunk.

“Whatever, I want you boys to go with Marit and Marion luck. Their going on in 10 minutes.

“Sure thing mom!” exclaimed Zac wiht a smile. He grabbed Taylor’s are and ran off to where the girls were waiting to go on stage.

“Isaac, i need to talk to you” said Mrs. Hanson pulling her son over to her.

“Yeah, what is it?”

“I need you to do me a favor.”

“Sure anything mom.”

“You sisters and I are going to go back home, and I need you to look after Taylor an dZac for me.”

“I already do that.”

“I know, but...I need you to take special care of Taylor, Im really worried about him.”

“Don’t be I’ll make sure him and Zac are fine. I better go see the girls before they go on. Bye” said Isaac walking off towards them. He knew what was wrong with Taylor, but he wasn’t sure how he was going to fix it. All he knew was that I shouldn’t work up his mom, she’d been throught enough.

“Good night guys. We hope to see you soon.” said Zac waving at the audiance. They had just got done playing their last song, If Only, and were walking off the stage.

“Good show guys!” said their bodyguard Frank, now its time for the meet and greet.

“And who should I make this out to?” smiled Isaac at the tall slim girl in front of him.

“Um..um...my name is...oh yeah, my name is Isa” said the girl.

“How do you spell that?”

“I s a, just like the first three letters in your name!”

“Okay...here you go.” said Isaac handing the girl the picture. She looked down at it and read it to herself ‘To Ise from Hanson’. She really didn’t seem to care, she turned around and just sighed, then walked away.

“Oh Taylor, my name is Cathy” said the small girl who wasn’t older then 11.

“Okay, Cathy here’s your picture.” said Taylor with a half simle. They had been signing autographs for these annoying fans for and hour. All Taylor really wanted to do was go back to the hotel room and grab that beautiful bottle of scotch he had hidden in his suitcase. That was the only thing that was going to allow him to survive the next 3 months.
