Chapter 32

I answered the phone and already my heart was pounding out of my chest. I said, "Hello?"

"Yes, is this Dena Thompson?" A man said.

"Yes, who is this?!" I asked scared as shit.

"This is Adam Portart, I am with the North Carolina Fire Department, we have called you to inform you that there was a pretty hectic storm last night." He said pausing. "Your house caught on fire due to a thunder storm, and your parents passed away last night." He put out there. I didn't respond. What the fuck did he just tell me? I moved the phone from my ear an inch away. "Hello? Hello?!" He said. I dropped my phone and heard it crack. I didn't care though.

Hayes crawled down and grabbed my phone. He sat back in his chair and put the phone on the table. "Are you okay?!" He asked, grabbing my hand on the table. I stood up and walked out of the place and outside and sat on a bench. I put my hands on my head and started hitting my head with my hands. I heard the door jingle. Hayes came out and ran over to me. He then grabbed my hands and held them in his hands. "Dena, what the hell is going on?" He asked me. I shook my head and then started crying. He grabbed my head and pulled it to his chest. The uncontrollable crying caused me to stop breathing. Then I caught my breath. The tears came down again. I sat there for hours. Crying in Hayes arms. They canceled the rest of Magcon from what Hayes told me. I didn't talk. Hayes just sat there holding me and told me things. Random things. I guess he thought it would help but it didn't. My parents were dead and I was all the way across the country having fun. For hours I sat there and cried in Hayes arms. Then he picked me up and brought me in the tour bus. It was quiet the whole way there. Some of the guys were crying too, but I think I heard Matt crying the loudest. I sat in Hayes lap and he hugged me. I cried and cried and just when I thought I couldn't cry anymore, I cried. Hayes carried me into the hotel and into our room. He placed me on our bed and I curled into a ball. Hayes came and sat next to me he held me and I cried and cried. I couldn't go to bed. My mind was racing. I thought about how they died and how painful it must've been. I thought about how the house looked and where I was going to go next. I thought about everything I lost in the fire. About my room and my clothes and everything. But then I started thinking about my parents again and how they were gone. I never got to get to meet them again and I hardly remember them. I couldn't go to sleep. And I didn't want to. So through the whole night I cried. And Hayes held me in the bed and held me. I was so tired but I didn't care.

When everyone else woke up, I stopped crying. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I looked like shit. I splashed my face with water like in the commercials and walked out. Everyone was on their phones of lying down. Shawn walked up to me, "were gonna go to the park and go on a picnic to cheer you and everyone up, okay?" He said and pulled me into a strong hug. Shawn was so nice to me. I nodded And we all got ready to go.

At the park, Nash and Cameron were 'entertaining' us. They were dancing around and hugging random people. It made me smile. Then, when they both came back over to us, Cameron pulled down Nash's pants. He was wearing underwear that said 'bish what?' on it. We all couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't either and practically pissed my pants.

We all got happy and sidetracked from reality.
