Grey Alexander Holden Age: 16-Main Character
Zeke Anthony Holden Age 15: Grey's half brother.
Cameron Drake Age 16: Teen singer.
Haiden Drake Age 16: Cameron's twin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

	The second and third show fly by both selling out, which I couldn't
be happier about, the sets have been getting crazier as well.  Cameron and
I will go out during Zeke's set with water guns, confetti cannons and
anything else we can get our hands on and shoot them into the crowd. The
reviews for each concert are amazing still.  Plus my album is still at
number one.

	I look at my phone and it's barely 7am.  I pull the curtain back on
my bunk bed, and roll out and make my way to the bathroom.  I relieve
myself and brush my teeth.  I go back to the built in dresser where each of
us has one drawer.  I pull out a tank top and green gym shorts.  I find my
flip flops at the front of the bus, and that's when I notice the bus is
stopped.

	I open the door, and we are at a Loves truck stop.  I can see the
small bus in front of us, I have no idea where we even are, I start walking
towards the smaller bus when I see Dan pacing in front of it talking to
some tall, toned, and tan guy. I couldn't see his face but I know he had
sandy brown hair.  He was young, but way older than me.  I decide to walk
up, "Dan what's going on?"

	"Hey baby boy.  Why are you up?" He asks.

	"Couldn't sleep, where are we?" I ask.

	"We are in Texas, not too far from the capital."

	I shift uncomfortably, I nod towards the guy who is now looking at
me. I can see his green eyes intently set on me.  "Who is that?"

	Dan waves me closer, and I proceed with caution.  "This is my
little cousin Nick.  He is your new bodyguard."

	This guy Nick laughs, "I am twenty five only a year younger than
you Dan." His booming voice took me by surprise.

	Looking at Dan confused, I ask "Why do I need a personal bodyguard?
I always just had you, and that's it."

	Dan runs his hands through his short hair, "Grey things aren't how
they used to be."

	Nick interrupts him, "Basically what he is trying to say is your
celebrity status has reached new heights. In case you haven't looked at the
charts or news or anything lately, your popularity is at an all time high,
Dan has his phone blowing up from Good Morning America, to CNN, the Today
Show, and tons of other shows wanting you to do an interview or some kind
of appearance, and it's not just you but your brother as well.  Dan can't
protect you as much as he used to.  I can be that protection to ensure no
crazy fans harm you, and to make sure nothing like the abduction happens
again."

	"How do I know you are even qualified?" I ask.

	"I used to be a sergeant on the New York City police force.
Mr. Holden I am not trying to start off on the wrong foot with you, but I
need to ensure yours and Zeke's safety.  I have been briefed on the things
that have happened.  Dan is worried about everything now, he is acting as
Manager and PR since Tessa isn't here.  He is doing this for you, and so
that he can sleep a little bit at night."

	Looking at Dan I don't know what to even feel...I go to say
something, but the bus door opens and Cameron walks out with no shirt on.
"Where are we?"

	"Texas." I reply.

	"Who the hell is that?" He nods towards Nick.

	"Mine and Zeke's new bodyguard apparently."

	"Sweet so does this mean you can actually go out and do more?" Cam
says perking up.

	"That is exactly what it means; I can accompany you guys on
outings." Nick answers for me.

	"Well I am thirsty I am going to go into the store and grab a
drink." I say.

	"Dude I want to go let me see if the other two are up." Cameron
says.

	"You have money on you?" Dan asks.

	I pat my pockets and shake my head, "No, let me go get my wallet."

	"Don't worry about it I will cover it." Nick says.

	Dan's phone starts to ring, "It's Spin magazine they have been
trying to get me to agree to an interview and cover page with you." He
tells me picking up the phone.

	"Seems like you are pretty busy." Nick says.

	I shrug my shoulders, "Yeah I guess so."

	"You aren't happy about me being your bodyguard are you?" Nick asks
bluntly.

	I hesitate a little looking up at him, "Sorry, I don't mean to be a
brat. It's just I don't know you, and it scares me that someone I don't
know is in control of my safety."

	He nods, "I understand that, Grey it's my profession to protect
people. I'm not such a bad guy, sure there are going to be times you hate
me because I will tell you no, but your safety is always the number one
priority."

	"So Zeke wants Mt. Dew, and Haiden wants orange juice." Cameron
says as he gets off the bus.

	"Zeke isn't getting Mt. Dew." I say.

	"Why the hell not!"  Zeke says appearing shirtless in boxer briefs
behind Cameron.

	"Its barely 7 in the morning I know what happens when you drink
Mt. Dew.  I will get you chocolate milk instead."

	"Whatever, this so isn't fair." He complains.

	"Zeke get back on the bus!  Put a shirt on or at least some pants
if you're going to be outside!" Dan says putting his phone away.

	"Why?" Zeke asks.

	"Paparazzi, are sneaky in fact there is one right on the other side
of the parking lot!" Nick says pointing to an explorer.

	Sure enough I look and I can see a short pudgy guy sitting in the
front seat with a camera out the window.  "Well that's stupid!" Zeke says
going back onto the bus.

	I laugh, as Cameron and I make our way to the store.  "Dude I don't
know when the last time I have been to an actual convenience store without
a disguise on was."  Cameron says as we enter the store.

	I notice Nick sweeps the store with his eyes, there are only a few
people in here.  I notice one person that I know will spot Cameron and I as
soon as she turns around, and I was right the recognition crosses her face.

	I tap Cam on the shoulder, "We have been spotted."

	The girl rushes over, "Oh my god!  Your Cameron and Grey aren't
you?"

	"Wait whose Cameron?" Cameron says smiling.

	This causes her to blush, "I can't believe you are standing in
front of me!"

	"SHHH, we don't want everyone knowing we are here." Cameron says.

	"Sorry I'm just so excited no one will believe this happened to me!
Can I get a picture with you two?"

	We both nod, and Nick comes up behind us, "What are you doing?"

	The girl looks a little startled, "I just wanted to get my phone."
She says stuttering.

	Nick smiles, "It's okay, just make it quick I need to get these two
back to the bus."

	"Can you take the picture?" She asks Nick.

	She hands him her iPhone, and we place her in between the two of
us.  Nick takes a few photos and then hands her back the phone.  "Thank you
both so much!  Where is Zeke?" she asks looking around.

	"His dead head self is still asleep." I tell her smiling.

	"Dang I wanted to meet him he is sooooo hot!"

	Cameron looks at me with a mock hurt on his face, "Well we have to
go!" I tell her.

	Exiting the store Cameron is beside himself, "Seriously!  Zeke is
hotter than you and I?  There is no freaking way!"

	I just laugh, "Dude she was probably his age though think about it
eh." I tell him.

	"Yeah I guess.  So you and Haiden are pretty tight huh?" He asks.

	"I don't know he is really cool to talk to." I say.

	"Yeah he is, I mean I haven't really ever seen Haiden bond with
anyone the way it looks like the two of you have.  I mean I saw you last
night in there talking to him."

	"What were you spying on us?" I laugh.

	"Nah I had to pee, and I heard you two talking.  It's cool I was
worried about him for the longest time, he's had some issues in the past
with tours and all." He says shrugging it off.

	"Zeke looks up to you." I say without thinking about it.

	"Really?" He says with a lot more animation than I thought he would
have.

	"Yeah man, look he is my little brother just try to steer him in
the right direction.  He is new to this life.  Plus he has always looked up
to you."

	"Yeah man, look I just wanted to tell you I really appreciate you
giving me the chance to come on this tour with you.  I really mean it when
I said I'm trying to change."

	"No problem man, hey where has your manager been?" I ask.

	He laughs nervously, "No idea and this isn't the first time she has
gone MIA."

	"Dude that sucks, why do you keep her around?" I ask.

	He laughs nervously again, "cause my dad is sleeping with her..."

	I laugh until I realize he is serious.  "Wait you aren't joking?"

	He shakes his head, "No I'm not.  My mom knows about it she doesn't
care she's been seeing someone else.  The only one who doesn't know is
Haiden."

	"How does he not know?"

	"Haven't told him, I don't want him to think it's his fault.  My
family is pretty selfish, Haiden is the black sheep of the family.  I know
he knows it, yeah he can sing but the whole being blind thing is a damper
to my parents they don't even acknowledge him. It's such bullshit." He says
getting worked up.

	His phone starts going off, "Speak of the devil it's my dad.  I
will catch up later."

	I let him be, and head back on the bus.  Screw it I am going to
take a shower since it's actually free.  I guess Zeke, and Haiden are back
asleep.  I grab a clean pair of boxers and hit the bathroom.  I cannot wait
after the show we have a hotel booked since we have the next day off. I am
so excited we are supposed to see downtown Austin.

	I turn the shower to warm water and strip down, getting in I let
the warm water run over me enjoying how it feels.  I have been on a tour
bus with no shower, and it has sucked. Granted this isn't a huge shower but
it still is better than not having one at all!

	I don't take a long shower, knowing we will be getting back on the
road before too long.  I dry off and slip the briefs on and head out of the
bathroom.

	"unff." I hear as I collide with another body.

	"Shit I am so sorry!" I say trying to get up from the floor.

	"NO it's my fault, I should have heard you opening the door, I
wasn't paying attention." Haiden says.

	I see him reaching to grab something, and I take his hand pulling
him up, his face is super close to mine, and I can hear his intake of
breath.  "Thanks..." he whispers.

	I back up so I don't embarrass him more than I already have.  "Yeah
man again I am so sorry I wasn't paying attention when I was coming out."

	I can tell he doesn't know what to do with his hands so he crosses
his arms across his bare stomach that looks so good.  "It's okay, so why
are we stopped?"

	"New security detail.  I have a new body guard and all while we are
on this tour."

	"Oh, that sounds exciting." He says being sarcastic.

	"Yeah not at all.  Cam and I got flagged down by a fan who wanted
pictures.  So we posed with her, but she really just wanted a picture with
Zeke...." I say trying to laugh.

	"MY FANS NEED ME!" Zeke yells from the back of the bus.

	Haiden shakes his head.  "He has Cam's ego."

	"I know." I say laughing.

	"Where is my brother?"

	"He was on the phone with your father I think." I say.

	I see a shadow pass over his face.  "Oh.  Well I am going to go set
up to write with him."

----------------------------After the show----------------------------



	The show was one of our biggest ones yet.  It was a huge success,
dad was actually at the show and is staying in a room at the hotel with us
all.  "Dude I cannot believe how many fans I actually have and look, I am
finally verified on twitter!" Zeke says showing me his phone.

	"Congrats little bro.  So you still like this?" I ask.

	"I can't imagine anything else, this is so sick seeing the country
and the shows are so much fun!" He says flopping down on the couch.

	I laugh, "I am going to go find Cameron, and Haiden and see what
they are doing." I tell him.

	"Dude yeah tell Cameron lets lift some weights!" Zeke says.

	I laugh even harder, "Yeah I will tell him."

	I let myself into their connecting suite, I hear a gruff man
talking.  "Your stupid childish actions have caused all of this!"

	"Dad don't be hard on him that isn't even alcohol, I was there and
smelled it!" I hear Haiden plead.

	"You shut up, how would you even know?  You are blind and if you
could see I would show you the next cause of this disastrous fucking
situation, someone spotted you singing from the back!  So you are just as
much to blame!"

	"No, how could someone have seen him?" Cameron asks grabbing the
picture.

	"You tell me!  You can see him with the fucking microphone in his
hand.  That was the final straw the label has had enough!  You are the main
reason for Cameron being dropped, so congratulations you not only ruined
this family you fucked your brother's last hope up!  I will have the papers
delivered tomorrow." He says.

	"What papers?" Haiden asks.

	"Termination papers, and don't think either of you are coming
crawling back to your mother or myself.  We went ahead and granted the
emancipation papers earlier this month.  Haiden has already disgraced this
family, I won't have another son do the same!" he says spitting.

	"Geoff back the fuck off!" Cameron says.

	"You don't speak to me like that ever!" their father says getting
in Cameron's face.

	"Stop being a bully, I have had it with your shit.  Tell the label,
that you have always picked over your family, to go to hell and you can go
straight to hell with them!"

	What happens next shocks me, His father grabs Cameron by the hair,
"I told you not to speak to me like that ever boy!"

	Hearing Cameron let out a cry, Haiden makes a grab for their dad,
and he back hands him sending him to the floor.  I can't take it anymore I
come out of hiding.  "Let him go dick head."

	"Get the fuck out of here Grey." Cameron says as he is still being
held by the hair.

	I don't listen I grab their fathers hand that holds the handful of
hair and start to twist, I never saw his right hook hit me.  I am on the
floor holding my eye, when I look up Geoff has Cameron by the throat," I
will fucking end you brat!"

	I am trying to get back up but I am shoved back down, as another
person is getting involved.  I don't think Mr. Drake even knows what is
happening, I finally realize its Nick. He has his gun on the back of his
head.  "Let him go." He says sternly.

	Mr. Drake releases Cameron and Nick swiftly takes him down, and
puts a knee into his back.  "You never touch another one of these boys
again or it will be me fucking ending you."

	Just then the cops walk through the door with my father.  "Officers
please arrest this man.  Please add a restraining order on him for all
three of the boys."

	"I knew you had a hand in this Holden!"  Mr. Drake yells.

	"I did, I thought it was odd when Cameron's manager let a few
things slip.  Oh and have you seen the news yet?" My dad asks holding up
his iPad.

	Mr. Drake's face goes sheet white.  "RDC records have been under
investigation, for quite some time and after a four year investigation, the
CEO and vice president are being indicted.  Geoff you're going away for a
long time, and now there are a ton of artists who have no label and will
now get all the money they are owed.  Including both of your sons, yes I
did manage to have Cameron's manager pull his contract and read that Haiden
was entitled to the shares as well.  I am done officers take him away."

	 I get up from the floor looking at my dad, "What is going on?"

	He puts a hand on my shoulder, "I will explain later son, right now
I am going to take Cameron to talk to him."

	I look over to Cameron and he is sitting on the couch, tears
running down his face, I look over to Haiden who is still on the floor with
his knees pulled to his chest.  "I will take Haiden to my room, and try to
calm him down a bit."

	My dad nods, and I walk over to Haiden, "You okay?" I ask.

	He shrugs his shoulders.  "I don't know.

	I bend down touching his arm lightly, and he puts his hand in mine,
as I take his other one.  I help him his to his feet.  "Want to come back
to my room?" I ask.

	He takes my arm, as we start to walk to the connecting doorway.
"I'm sorry for everything that has happened." He whispers to me.

	"Don't worry about it man.  Family is a tricky thing, it wasn't too
long ago I was in the middle of a nasty mess.  None of this is your fault."
I tell him.

	"It feels like it is."

	Once we are in my room I guide him to my bed, he scoots up on it
and pulls his knees to his chest once again, he then takes off his glasses
to wipe the tears away.  I take a good look at them, they are beautiful
just like his brothers.  "You have pretty eyes."

	He laughs, "No I don't."

	"Yes you do, I mean how would you know." I say sitting next to him.

	He shrugs, "I wouldn't know.  I am still sorry that you heard and
saw all of that."

	"Well I can see them and they are.  I told you it's okay, can I ask
a question?"

	"You just did." He says smiling.

	"Damn your sassy.  What did your dad mean that you already
disgraced the family?"

	A shadowed look crosses his face, "Like I told you before, I am not
the son that my parents wanted to have."

	He goes to reach for his glasses, but I put my hand on his.  "Tell
me."

	"If I tell you, you won't treat me like I'm normal anymore."

	"Try me." I challenge.

	I scoot on the bed so that I'm facing him.  "I'm......you are going
to hate me, but I am gay."

	I can't actually breathe for a moment.  I think my brain just stops
working; this perfectly hot, smart, beautiful, funny boy just said he was
gay.  I just stare at him in disbelief.

	I hear more emotion pour into his voice, "Please don't hate me, you
are the only friend I have that treats me like a normal person.  I won't
hit on you, hell I don't even know how to hit on someone...I won't flirt
with you I promise....I just I hate not being out to anyone but Cam."

	"What if I want you to flirt with me?" I ask seductively.......
