Part 5

After their late-night meal, they climbed into their respective vehicles and made their way back to the venue. As promised, Luke showed her where to park. Donna smiled seeing that he was having her park right next to the bus. Adrielle stayed in the car but Donna quietly climbed out. He gave Donna a friendly hug and asked if they had blankets. She shook her head no but said it wasn't cold enough to warrant them. He wanted to make sure they were going to be ok making Donna chuckle.

The next morning, the sound and lighting guys woke up and stepped off the bus to get their day going. There was a black Nissan sitting next to the bus which confused them. Luke was already awake and told them to leave the car alone. They looked at one another then shrugged. Finally, one-by-one the vocalists began waking up.

"We need to find some breakfast. My dinner has long worn off!" Tim stated making Austin laugh

"Alright. Once everyone is awake and dressed, because I'm not taking you out in your pajamas, we can go grab some food." Luke chuckled

Luke began to get a little nervous. As soon as they left the bus, they would notice Donna and Adrielle. They were both sleeping, he knew because he had checked on them shortly before the crew left, but he wasn't sure if they'd want to go get food with them or not. As everyone was leaving the bus, they noticed the black car.

"Hey! Who's car is that?" Rob inquired, "There's two women in it!"

Luke walked over and tapped on Donna's window. She jerked up, clearly have just been awoken from slumber. When she saw Luke, she smiled then opened her door.

"Hey, the boys want to go get breakfast. Would you two like to join us? I can introduce you to everyone." Luke asked

"Sure! Let me wake my daughter and we'll follow you over there." Donna stated

"Guys, give them a minute. They're going to follow us to the Waffle House." Luke said as he walked over to the clearly confused five-some

"Who are they?" Austin asked

"I'll make all the introductions when we get there. Just.... Be nice. Especially to the younger woman." Luke said as they climbed into the rented SUV

Donna had woken her sleeping daughter up and said that they were going back to the Waffle House with Luke and that Home Free would be there too. Her daughter quickly woke up making Donna laugh. The ride to the restaurant didn't take long. The older woman began to wonder just how these guys were going to take her unusual daughter. They were the only band that Adrielle had honestly connected with although she did listen to a wide variety of bands. With a deep breath, Donna parked the car next to the white SUV.

It was hard to sit together but somehow Luke made it work. The place wasn't too busy so a waitress walked over to take everyone's orders. Donna ordered for both her and her daughter. Once she had left, Luke turned to the guys who were all looking at the two women curiously.

"This is Donna and her amazing daughter Adrielle. They're actually following the tour for the next month." Luke started

"We've seen your tweets! Glad you're liking the shows!" Austin quickly stated

"That one is Austin. He's a bit excitable. This handsome cuddly teddy bear is Rob. That fine young man is Chance. Mr. Eyebrow down there is Tim and, of course, you know Adam." Luke said, introducing everyone

"How did you meet them, Luke?" Chance asked, "It's nice to meet you, though!"

"I sent Donna a private message on Twitter last night." Luke said

"Why were you sleeping in your car?" Rob asked

"I didn't realize that there was some big event and that all the hotels were booked solid. Mistake on my part." Donna shrugged
