"Promises To Keep" Chapter 4: Lost Another Day �Come on guys! We have to warm up!� Dan Miller said to his band mates. �Dan! Okay! We�re coming, right now!� Jacob Underwood screamed from within the hotel room they were sharing. Ashley Angel, Trevor Penick, and Erik-Michael Estrada emerged from different corners of the suite. They had their duffel bags and were ready. Jacob, however, was not. �I�m here, we can go now,� Jacob said as he walked out of the bathroom. �Finally,� Trevor muttered. �What was that?� Jacob turned and faced Trevor. �What did you say?� �I said that it took you for freakin ever to get ready!� Trevor said, not backing down. �Jeez Jacob, why can�t you just be ready when the rest of us are?� �Trevor, I do not need any of your bullshit today so just save it for someone who cares,� With that Jacob turned and walked to the elevator. �What is up his ass?� Trevor asked his bag. Dan answered for him. �He�s always like that. We should be used to it by now.� �Well let�s just go and get out of here,� Ashley replied shaking up the tension in the room. �Good idea,� Erik said as he walked to the door. */*/*/* �We are now landing in St. Louis. For those of you continuing on to Denver, we will be boarding again in an hour. Please enjoy your layover,� the flight attendant said sweetly. Allison and Melissa got off the plane happy for a chance to move around. They stopped in front of the McDonald�s. �What do you think?� Melissa asked Allison. �Let�s eat!� Allison said hurrying ahead of Melissa. The girls ordered and ate their burgers and fries. The conversation was boring and had an excited feeling to it. Melissa was determined to find Dan Miller and make him come back to her. Allison was determined to rape Ashley Angel� er� meet Ashley Angel. The girls wandered back to the gate ready to board the plane that would take them to O-Town. They sat and waited for the boarding calls. Fifteen minutes turned into half an hour, which turned into an hour. The flight attendant got on the loudspeaker. �We�re sorry for the delay, but the airport in Denver is closed due to heavy snowstorms. All flights to Denver are delayed or cancelled. We�re sorry for the inconvenience.� �What?� Melissa shot up out of her seat. �No, they can�t do that to me!� �Mel, calm down. There�s nothing we can do now,� Allison tried to calm her down. �Let�s sit and relax. Maybe our flight will only be delayed a few hours.� �But in a few hours, O-Town will be onstage and we�ll miss them,� Melissa was not reasoning with Allison. �Well�� Allison knew Melissa had a point. Now both girls were disappointed. */*/*/* �Ugh!� Melissa kicked her bag. �When will this layover be over?� Melissa and Allison had been sitting in St. Louis�s airport for four hours. Both were tired and more than a little pissed off. O-Town was onstage as they spoke and they were disappointed that they wouldn�t get to see them. �I know how you feel,� Allison sympathized. �Where is there next concert date?� Melissa asked suddenly. �Do you remember?� �Umm,� Allison looked thoughtful. �Sorry, Mel. I don�t remember.� �Well then let�s get out of here and find a computer,� Melissa grabbed her bag and headed for the door. Allison followed behind her. �Are you crazy?� she asked. �No, are you?� Melissa shot back. �I�m not going to just stand here and wait for a damn plane to take us to Denver when O-Town and Danny won�t even be there anymore. We�re going to their next city.� �Okay,� Allison sighed. �Allie,� Melissa pleaded. �Just do it for me, please?� Allison looked at Melissa. Melissa had her lip sticking out in a pout. Allison couldn�t resist. �I�m coming.� �Yea!� Melissa hugged her. �Let�s go!� They hailed a taxi and found a hotel to stay at. Once they had abandoned their stuff in the room, they went to the local library hoping to find a computer. They found the nearest library and a computer. �Okay,� Melissa told herself. �Let�s do this.� Within minutes O-Town�s entire tour schedule popped up on the screen. It didn�t take Melissa more than one glance to hit print. She grasped the papers in her hands. �Here it is,� she told Allison. �O-Town�s tour schedule.� �What�s the next date?� Allison asked excitedly. �Um,� Melissa scanned the paper. �Denver� ah, Salt Lake City.� �I don�t even have to ask�� Allison said knowing the look in Melissa�s eyes. �Let�s go!� Melissa said as she skipped out the door. */*/*/*
