Hate Filled Love

Undead Ahead

They had finally reached the next city and venue. Rayne kept making excuses to postpone the drop off of the little girl. She hated to leave her, she was almost tempted to keep the little girl and go home. "Rayne after the show we're dropping her off." Chris said. Rayne hesitated before answering going over the thoughts in her head quickly. "Chris... I..I want to keep her.." Ricky heard Rayne's response and looked over at her.
"Are you crazy?" Chris spoke before Ricky could. "No, How close are we to Scranton?" She asked. "We're 20 minutes away, are you going home?" Ricky spoke out. "Well yeah, Tour is no place for a child. Even if today is the last day." Ricky sighed he didn't want Rayne to leave and he didn't want her to keep the little girl, he thought maybe she'd stop them from becoming something.

Rayne sold merch all night with the little girl in mind. She was back on the bus with the driver in the front watching cartoons. Even though the driver was there Rayne worried the little girl would get bored and roam off. thirty minutes later the guys were at the merch table signing things and meeting fans. Rayne was in the back ground biting her nails, Ricky noticed this and walked back towards her. "You can go check on her we can handle this." Rayne looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you." she said before she ran off to the bus. She walked in and smiled when she saw the girl sleeping on the bench/couch. "All that worrying for nothing." She whispered. She walked over to her and picked up a cover. She covered her up and thought about what she was getting her self into. Could she handle a little girl? She wasn't too young, She was maybe about seven years old. She heard the bus door open and looked to see Ricky, "Hey." He said quietly. "The guys are out getting food, i said i'd stay behind." Rayne smiled "Thanks.." Ricky sat next to her "Are you really going to keep her?" Rayne looked at Ricky, "Yeah i think so." He sighed at her response, "What?" she asked him. "Nothing." He got up and walked back towards the bunks. Rayne was confused, it was her life and her decision. She sighed and shook her head.

At this point the little girl was awake and nibbling on chicken nuggets and apples that Chris had bought her. "Thank you." Rayne said. "Does she talk?" Balz asked no one in particular but mostly Rayne. "I don't know." She answered. "Do you talk sweety?" The little girl looked up at Rayne and nodded,"What's your name?" Rayne asked her. The little girl swallowed a bite of chicken and answered, "Neveah." she said shyly. Rayne sat next to her, "Well Neveah how would you feel about coming home with me?" Neveah looked around at everyone and then at Rayne, "To stay forever?" She asked. Rayne smiled, "Yes, to stay forever." Neveah smiled and nibbled on an apple. It suddenly dawned on Rayne that she had to go to the police station to see if she could adopt Neveah, She was sure that she could but what if Neveah's mom or whoever it was that left her;comes back? What will happen? These things were still worrying not only Rayne, but Ricky. He didn't want to see Rayne get attached to Neveah and then have her taken away. He knew how much that would hurt her and it was something he didn't want to happen.

A day later Rayne and Neveah were walking up the pathway to Rayne's house. They had stopped at a hotel so Rayne could bathe Neveah and as that was happening Rayne realized her secrets may be getting out very soon. Her mom is in that house with her little brother. There are pictures in Raynes room of old happy family pictures with her dad. Neveah will ask questions, Rayne's mother will too. It's as if Rayne's nervousness for the police station later had disappeared and turned into nervousness for what was about to happen when they stepped through her front door.

Rayne and Neveah walked in quietly . Rayne wanted to make sure that she didn't wake her mom, but what she didn't know was that it wouldn't be a problem because her mom was rushed to the hospital thirty minutes ago. Her mom was on her death bed and Rayne had no idea.
