"Promises To Keep" Chapter 6: Waiting For Tomorrow �Thank you for all of your blessings. We continue to do this because of your faith in us. Amen,� O-Town said just ten minutes until show time. �Have a great show, guys,� Mike Morin told them. �Thanks Mike,� Dan replied jumping up and down pumped up. �Okay guys, you�re on in five!� the stage manager called backstage. �Good show,� Jacob said quietly as if reassuring himself that people would actually want to see him perform. �Good show.� �Jake? You okay, man?� Trevor asked trying to hide his smirk. �What? Yeah, fine,� Jacob said startled that someone had caught him talking to himself. �Okay guys, this one is going to be great!� Ashley said. �I can feel it.� �You have that feeling too?� Erik asked. �This is the feeling I got when I met my biological daddy for the first time.� Dan muffled his laughter. �Um, Erik, let�s just go out there and perform. And please try not to break down into hysterical sobs like last time.� Ah, yes, last time. I better explain this one to you. You see the last time Erik started talking about his biological daddy (or B to the D as the guys have started to call him) before a show he broke down into hysterical sobs during �Baby, I Would�. Now, don�t ask me why that song but I think it had something to do with the lyrics �Would I walk through fire just to be you/Would I cross an ocean just to hold you/Would I give up all I have to see you smile, to see you smile/Would I walk through hell and not think twice?� Anyway, back to the present. �Shut up! I hate you and I hate this band!� Erik and his fake drama make this story so much more interesting. �Okay, you�re on in five� four� three� two� Please welcome O-Town!� the stage manager said as the guys ran onstage. �What�s going on, Salt Lake?� Ashley said before their first song started. */*/*/* �We�re not making it!� Melissa said stating the obvious. �Well, we tried,� Allison shrugged. What more could they do? It was already half an hour into the show; they�d never make it. �Sorry miss, I tried,� the driver said looking in the rearview mirror. �It�s okay. Thanks for trying,� Melissa brushed it off. �Where�s their next concert?� Allison took out the paper. She looked at the list of cities. �Las Vegas,� she said. �Let�s go!� �Would you like me to take you back to the airport?� the driver asked them. �Um,� Melissa bit her lip. �Why not?� The driver turned around and drove back to the airport. Melissa and Allison booked two more tickets to Las Vegas. The soonest they could get on a plane was at midnight. �We�ll take them,� Melissa said without hesitation. �Mel,� Allison said. �I�m tired. Do we have to fly tonight?� �Yes!� Melissa spun around facing Allison. �This time I am not taking any chances. We�re going to see them.� �Okay,� Allison knew it was useless arguing with Melissa. �Let�s fly.� */*/*/*
