We're so far away from you

He is keeping something from me..

and now we are back where we began. 

at home for the first time in what 5 months with in what a couple odd years. and its strange. 

but Luke and Annabelle don't mind, though sometimes they do miss the road. and the people.

I was enjoying the simple pleasure of a nice nap on a bed that wasn't covered in sweat or an old blanket.

when I heard my familiar jaws theme ring tone go off.

I reached over and got my phone

"Hey Mikes. whats up?" 

"Why did you hang up earlier?' 

"I had guest some over unexpectedly." 

"Oh no don't pull that on me. I can l tell when you are lying remember?" 

"Not through a phone." 

"oh no I can tell through a phone too whats up?' 

"Nothing Michael she-sh!" 

"Fine I will drop it. So how does it feel to be home." 

"Weird, even l- I mean Matt is all weirded out by being home." 

"Use to being on the road huh?" 

"Totally it feels like home." 

"Well there is a reason I called." 

"I better not get a job offer." 

"How did you know?" 

"Magic Mikey and the answer is no." 

"But we just need a guitar tech ours is out sick." 

"No absolutely not." 

"But-" 

"no Mikey no."

then i heard another voice...oh gosh I know that voice.

"hey Mikes who are you talking to?" 

"Oh i am just trying to get another guitar tech lined up but she doesn't want the job, Gee convince her." 

"Alright...hey you chick take the job we are somewhat sane people and we will try to be neat but no promises."

I stayed silent. 

all those feelings....no...I can't I won't

"Um mm chick?" 

"No I am sorry I can't bye."

I hung up. 

I just hoped he didn't he didn't recognized me voice but I doubt it. 

I hung pretty quick.

I just lay there trying not to get all those feelings get to me.

"Man...ay." 

"Momma?"

I bent up to see my angels staring at me....with a certain look which meant.

"go!"

they ran and jumped up on my bed. 

they attacked me and tickled me. 

we just messed around on my bed having a good time until the calmed down and laid beside me.

"Mama?" 

"Yeah Annabelle?" 

"You think you can get another job?" 

"Why?" 

"Because me and Luke want to go and see people and hear music. We don't like normal life" 

"and why not?" 

"Because its boring momma." 

"Oh Luke its not that bad." 

"Yes it is. all we can do is lay here and read. we have more fun traveling and watching you play." 

"Really?" 

"Yes."

they had a tendency on answering at the same time. it was so cute.

"Well guys we have to wait for a call and maybe we can see if we can go back on the road. "

and like some form of magic my phone rang.

"Hello." 

"Hey Bells its William." 

"Oh hey whats up Will.?" 

"Hey look I know its short notice but can you make it to Texas?" 

"What why?" 

"Sisky just got sick and its serious and we are in the middle of a festival tour and he only wants you to take his place for a while." 

"Whoa is he okay? " 

"Yeah the doc says he will be fine but what do you say?" 

"Hold on a minute."

i turned to my kids.

"hey guys how do you feel about a festival tour?" 

"We are going to get packing!" 

"What she said!"

they ran to their room and started packing.

"Well the majority rules we are in." 

"Oh man thank you so much. we left tickets for you guys at the airport see in a bit." 

"Alright."

well I guess boring is over. 

we all packed and zoomed off to the airport. 

and Matt got his assignment from his boss but he wouldn't tell me who he was interviewing. 

But I didn't read too much into it.

we landed in Houston to be greeted by a stick of guy named William.

"Oh thank you so much Bells for doing this." 

"No problem Bill, plus the kids were getting restless about being home." 

"Hey you little monsters how are you." 

"Uncle Bill!"

they had a thing where they called any guy or gal we knew aunt or uncle. they didn't mind, they loved it.

"We are good, happy now that we are going to be with you for a while." 

"awesome we are going to be raising hell right guys!" 

"Yeah!" 

"Of course uncle Bill!"

we hopped into a cab and went to their bus and got settled.

"Hey how far are you into this tour?" 

"Oh we just started like two days ago man. we need this. its like what the doctor ordered." 

"Cool. who else is on the bill?" 

"Oh we have Morningwood, Paramore, Panic, ummm my-" 

"Hey how about you take us on a late lunch Bill?"

Matt interrupted him. 

Strange.

"Uh yeah sure he are like next to a diner anyway come on."

Matt was acting rather odd...it was strange.

"Are you okay?" 

"Yeah why?" 

"You seem nervous and jumpy? this about the article?" 

"You can say that." 

"Who are you interviewing.?" 

"Oh just another band..nothing I can't handle." 

"Okay just relax come on."

he is keeping something from me...what is it?
