“WHAT?!?” The other four group members asked in unison
**
Nick sat up in his bunk with a start, hitting his head in the process. He took a deep breath as he rubbed his head. He looked around to try to figure out where he was. He rolled out of the bunk into the isle of the tour bus, “Hey man, get out of the way.” Howie said as he stepped over him on his way to the back of the bus.
Nick mumbled as he got up, his head still hurt. He walked to the front of the bus where Brian was sitting at the table working on something, “Hey rise and shine sleeping beauty.”
Nick pulled a bottle of water out of the refrigerator and sat down at the table, “Yeah, whatever.”
“You’ve slept thru most of the trip. We should be in Dallas in about an hour.”
“Dallas?” Nick asked taking a drink of water
Brian looked up at him, “Yeah, Dallas.”
“Are we going to see Megan while we’re there?”
“Megan? Whose Megan?” Brian asked confused
“Whose Megan,” Nick said laughing, “Your Megan, you know the little cute thing.”
Brian just looked at Nick, “Are you sure you are awake?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Because I have no idea what you are talking about.”
Nick decided to drop the subject, maybe they had broken up and he just didn’t know about it, but that was stupid, Brian told him everything, or, well, almost everything. He got up and walked to the back of the bus where the other guys were watching a movie. He sat down on the couch and looked up at the TV, they were watching SPEED. “You know, Stephanie would have looked just like her if her hair was cut shorter.”
Howie looked at the screen and then at Nick, “Whose Stephanie?”
“Oh come on, just because she is gone doesn’t mean you have to totally forget her.” Nick said crossing his arms
Kevin and A.J. looked at him, “What are you talking about?” A.J. asked
Nick looked at him, “Hello, Stephanie, remember? You went out with her for crying out loud.”
A.J. raised an eyebrow, “I went out with her, when?”
“Like 3 months before she died stupid.”
A.J. crossed his arms, “For one, don’t call me stupid, two, I haven’t been going out with anybody for 3 months, and three, I think you have gone off your rocker.”
“She died?” Kevin asked before Nick could say anything to A.J.
“Yeah, hello, car accident.” Nick said looking at them. They all just looked back at him, having no clue what he was talking about. “Oh, forget it. I’m going back to bed.” Nick stomped back to his bunk, ‘What’s with those guys.’ He thought. Nick fell back asleep with a sigh.
