We walk offstage to the loudest screaming we've heard yet. Minneapolis really got into it tonight.

"That was great!" Avi says.

"I didn't even know it was possible for a crowd to be that loud!" Scott says, smiling at the rest of us.

We walk down the hall towards Esther, who's setting out food and drinks for us all to celebrate.

Early the next morning, I hear banging on Avi and I's hotel room door. I look at the clock: 7:20 am. I slowly stuble over to the door, tired from falling asleep at 3:30 am after a night of partying.

I open the door to a very awake Kirstie and Mitch.

"You and Mr. Sleepyhead over there were supposed to meet us down in the lobby 20 minutes ago!" Mitch shouts. "We would like to get to Chicago in time for the concert tonight if you would let us!"

"Oh my gosh!" I say. Avi and I must've slept through our alarms. "We'll be down in ten," I say slamming to door.

I shake Avi awake and we throw everything into our suitcases, making it a new record of packing in 8 minutes. I decide we can just get dressed on the bus, so we grab our stuff and head down to the lobby to check out of the hotel.

After we're checked out, Avi and I head to the bus and hop on with a small scolding from Esther.

"The drive to Chicago is seven hours. Not to mention traffic and the huge snowstorm thats supposed to hit in Wisconsin that might slow us down!"

"Sorry Sis," Avi says as we head to our beds on the bus to sleep some more.

In the bus, Kirstie and Mitch are sitting on a couch and working together on another original, and Scott's in his bed with the curtain closed.

Avi automatically rolls into his bed and is alseep within seconds. I sit down to rest as I pull out my phone and check the weather. Did Esther say there was supposed to be a storm?

My weather app shows that in Wisconsin it's supposed to snow today. The storm should start tonight and go on for 6 days. That shouldn't be a problem if we get through Wisconsin quickly. Not that I trust the app, but it's been more right than wrong lately.

I turn off my phone and shut the curtain for my bed falling asleep for a couple hours.

Noise outside my bed wakes me up from my slumber and I open the curtain. Kirstie, Scott and Esther are crowding a window next to me.

"Hey ya'll whats up?" I ask them. Esther turns around and points out the window so I get up to find out what they see.

But it turns out, it's what they don't see that I'm looking at. There is so much snow that we can't even tell if there is a car in front of us.

All of a sudden we feel a jerk and the bus starts to pull to the side.

I hear a thump and look behind me to see Mitch on the floor outside his bed with a pained expression on his face.

With a loud boom, a corner of the bus drops and we stop moving.

Avi is awake by now, poking his head out of his curtain. "What did I just miss?!"
