Seems Like Yesterday... (Keaton Stromberg) Book 2

Chapter Twenty-Four- Happiness, Finally

Keaton’s POV

Great. Someone else has dropped out of our tour. Is there something wrong with this whole thing? One of the bands has got up and abandoned us with no warning, so now we have no starting act. Absolutely amazing. Please note the extreme sarcasm.

"Guy, there has to be three acts. We don't want to let our fans down!" Wesley moans to our manager. All of us were sitting in a room backstage, discussing what to do about this situation. Guy shakes his head and runs his large hands through his hair.

"And we need to talk about the length of this tour." I but in, looking at Drew and Wes. Sky was the only one I had spoken to about this, so these guys might take it badly. All three look at me, slightly confused. "It's too long. Wes you're slowly going in to this tiny hole of depression. Drew you're putting on false smiles for the fans. And so am I. Guy we can only manage just the American tour..." Wesley looks down, rubbing the back of his neck. They all knew it was true.

"I'll make some calls and cancel the rest of the tour. You guys have to make a video to your fans telling them why the tour isn't going on any longer. Urm..." Guy pulls his phone out, sighing heavily. "You're gonna have to be real apologetic. So many fans will be disappointed." We all nodded, knowing the consequence of this. I'd be surprised if half our fans left us for this. The best thing to do is tell the truth; we can't handle a huge tour.

 All three of us sat back, suddenly relieved. It felt like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Looking at Drew, he gave a small smile to me as a thank you. Wesley wrapped his arm around my neck, pulling me close to him. Guy sat back in his chair, seemingly being the only person who was stressed. I guess we did give him a huge task.

"But this doesn't solve the problem about the first act." Drew pipes up, looking at all of us. I have an idea. And I'm hoping someone listens.

"How about Skyler? She's a musician, and is here on tour with us?" Drew and Wesley both nodded, excited already. Guy shook his head. From day one, he hasn't really liked Skyler being in tour. Once I overheard him telling our stage tech, that she distracts us from our fans and music. Sometimes Guy can be a dick.

"I don't know guys. I've never heard her sing and that's all I need to say no." As if on cue, an angelic voice rang out. It was Skyler. She was in the next room with Tyler. Drew's head shot up, beaming. Guy can’t say no to her voice. The song was... How could I want more by Jamie Lynn Spears. Skyler had sung it to me many times, as she had said it was a song that perfectly described us. Wesley and Drew rushed out the room, I followed closely behind. Slowly they creaked open the door to find Skyler sitting in front of a camera, playing her acoustic, singing her heart out. Tyler was out of shot dancing a little. Skyler stopped singing, turning round to look at us.

"Dude!" Skyler pouted as she turned off the camera. "I was trying to record!" She was so hopeless at doing false anger, well to us anyway. Sliding next to her, she snuggles in to my chest. "What was so important that you had to disturb me?" Skyler sighs, un-clipping her camera from the tripod.

"We've found our new act." Guy squeaks, rushing in and sitting opposite us. For a few seconds Skyler looks at me confused, until I point to her and smile. She pushed herself away from me, shaking her head. Drew and Wes came in to the room and sat down, beaming.

"Me?!" Skyler asks Guy, her face slowly spreading in to a huge smile. Reluctantly he nodded. What didn't he like about her? "Are you serious?" This time I nod, Skyler launching herself at me. Embracing her in a tight hug, I kiss her head. She loved music, and I love to see her smile. I love her so much, I don't think she'll ever understand or know. That's the problem with love, how do you express it?

It seem for now we are all finally happy on this tour.
