The Tour |Book Two|

Chapter Eighteen

Kaitlyn's POV

"How are we doing Bay Area?" Loud screams came from the crowd. "It's good to be back home. I was born here. Over in San Jose." More screams. "Oh my goodness, thank you guys I feel so loved. So... I'm not actually supposed to be talking here. You've already got Charlie and Ed as your opening acts. The crew let me come up here cause it's where I was born. I also wanted to say sorry for holding back the tour. Some major things came up and if it were my choice I would have had Shawn continue the tour." There were a few 'it's okay's and 'we love you's. "Anyway guys. Have fun tonight. That's all I ask. I'll be releasing another single soon, so look forward to that. Love you guys," I stepped back and kissed my fingers, then opened my arms to the whole crowd. I walked off stage.

"Good to be back home?" Shawn asked.

"The best. I've got to go though. I have more people to visit and we're leaving for LA tonight."

"You don't have to go with us."

"Yes I do, I have family in LA too."

"Do you want us to stay-"

"No, Shawn. We're all going to LA. I've just gotta visit my grandparents. I've already hit my Aunt's houses. Just my grandparents." With that I walked out of the arena.

I got one of the security cars to drive me to my grandparents house. It was about 30 minutes away. When I pulled up there were seven cars in front of their house. I walked into the house and everyone turned to look at me. I found my grandma and she gasped.

"Kaitlyn!" she exclaimed. She stood up and half ran to hug me. I smiled as I pulled her into a hug.

I probably hugged everyone in the house. I hadn't seen most of them since my parents funeral. They sat me down on the couch.

"So, how's life treating you?" My grandpa asked.

"Pretty bad actually. But I'll pull through. I always do."

"What happened Katie?"

"Death... Death happened. Since my parents funeral... I lost count. Five deaths and... ten plus near death experiences."

"What? Who?"

"Well uh. Shawn? His parents died. Angela -Alex's wife- died in childbirth. One of my close friends, you guys don't know him, died and then was revived. Then uh- recently Payson passed away," I choked out. My eyes starts to fill up with tears. The whole family gasped and some of them started crying. I started blinking back tears. "Anyway, good things have happened too! A little over a year ago, Shawn asked me to be his girlfriend. When Angela passed away, the twins survived. I was asked by Alex to take care of them. We moved to England. Shawn had me as his opening act for Australia and he will for Europe as well. He proposed to me."

All the girls leaped at me, grabbing my left hand. I got more smashing hugs.

"Does anyone want ice cream?" my cousin, John, yelled from the kitchen. We all made our way to the kitchen and got ice cream.

I was there for almost four hours. I caught up with everyone. It was amazing to hear what they had been doing. I was glad they all had good lives and good jobs.
