Chapter 20

Ryan

We have our show set in one hour. Everything is so disorganized it's not even funny.

I'm disorganized, sound check was disorganized, EVERYTHING IS DISORGANIZED. Everything is wrong.

Hanna helps us with everything and without her here, I'm a total mess. Dear god, I miss her so much.

"Ryan?" Maggie asks, walking into my room.

"Oh, hey Maggie what's up?"

"Look, I just talked to Hanna..." I don't even let her finish.

"Is Hanna okay?!" I snap and jump to conclusions.

"She's fine, Ry. Everything's fine."

"Then what is it?" I pry.

"I just wanted to say, she misses you Ryan. She didn't flat out say it to me, but I know it's true. Even though she's been with Megan and Liz, I can tell by the way she's talking to me- she misses you so much. You have to do something." She says and I know, you don't have to tell me twice. I know I have to do something!

"Maggie, I know I have to do something, but what can I do? The other day she basically told me she wants nothing to do with me, and that she wants space, what else am I supposed to do besides give her what she wants?"

"Do you really think that's what she wants? Do you really think that she wants space? Because I know that that is the exact opposite of what she wants!"

"Well what can I do?" I ask, and Maggie whispers something in my ear, and I nod, taking in everything she says.

"Okay..." I say.

"Just trust me, Ry, everything will work out." She says with a reassuring smile.

"Thank you, Maggie."

"It's no problem, Ry, just get her back." She says, and walks out of my room.

It's 12:30, and we have exactly a half hour until our show. Then we have an interview set for 2:30 and then everything in Maggie's plan will be set into motion. Everything is going to be alright.

"Ryan?" I hear Jamie say.

"Hmm?"

"Are you ready? We have meet and greet." He informs me.

"Oh. Yeah. I forgot." Great. I met Hanna at a meet and greet. Anything that happens around me will just remind me of her. I need her back.

"Hey, I know what you're thinking, everything's going to work out, don't worry about it. C'mon." He says and grabs my arm, practically dragging me outside.

There's a relatively short line today, thank god. Not to be rude, because I do love meeting our fans and I appreciate them so much, but I really just want to get this show ever with. I need her with me.

"Hi, Ryan, OMG I can't believe you're actually standing like right infront of me! I'm like a huge fan!" Some really annoying girl begins. "I just - I just- Seriously! Like you're standing right infront of me!!! I can't believe it! I love you Ryan Keith Follese!" She yells. And she's just the beginning of this meet and greet. Oh great.

I quickly sign the girl's cd, and take a picture with her, and she walks back over to her mom squealing a very high pitched girly squeal.

By the time our meet and greet is over, I've grown so anxious. I just want to straighten things out with Hanna!
