Ashley steeped menacingly towards her sister. “Oh you would?”

“Girls,” Grandma interjected. “Could you not argue now?”

“Sorry grandma,” the siblings replied sheepishly.

“Now,” Carol continued. “I am feeling a bit tired. I believe it’s the medicine they gave me. I would like to get some sleep if you don’t mind.”

“Ofcourse,” Spencer said grabbing Ashley’s hand. “We’ll come back later after you’ve gotten some rest,” she assured as she lead the rocker out of the room.

The rest of the group followed behind the couple after bidding Grandma a goodbye. They all relocated to a private section of the waiting room that had been set up for them.

“I’m sorry okay,” Kyla whispered as she took a seat next to Ryan across from Aiden, Spencer and Ashley. “I didn’t mean to freak you out or anything … I was just scared.”

“You have nothing to apologize for Ky,” Spencer assured the sibling. “We were all scared and I’m sure if the shoe was on anyone else’s foot we too would have panicked.”

Ashley nodded, “Yeah I’m sorry I got mad at you Ky,” she added. “I just didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know what I was gonna come home to. I kept thinking she was gone. I was actually trying to … mentally prepare myself for the worse.”

“Everything and everyone is fine,” Ryan said. “That’s all that matters.”

“Agreed,” Spencer sighed setting her head tiredly on the rocker’s shoulder.

“I wonder how Clay’s handling things in Washington,” Aiden commented.

Ashley let out a sigh. “I don’t even want to think about all the disappointed and pissed off fans I’m going to gain because of this.” She said.

Kyla looked down, “Sorry,” she mumbled.

“Stop apologizing,” the rocker chastised. “It’s not your fault.”

“Maybe we could still make it,” Elmer’s suggested.

“Aiden, man,” Ryan chuckled. “The concert is scheduled to start in less than an hour over there. The flight from here to there takes almost five hours.”

Aiden frowned confused. He shrugged. “What’s your point?”

Ryan smartly chose not to reply to that. Spencer smiled lightly and patted Aiden on the thigh. Elmer’s still confused stood up from his seat. “I’ve gotta pee,” he announced before shuffling off to the bathroom.

“I’m gonna go out and get some coffee,” Kyla said standing from her seat. She dug into her pocket for her car keys.

“Isn’t there coffee in the cafeteria,” Ashley questioned.
