"Hey. How was Deathcab?" I asked Brody while we both clocked in. "Deathcab was great. The rest of the night was hell." He said. "I'm sorry." I said. "It's okay. I never want to see Lindsey again! She embarassed the hell out of me." He said. "What happened?" I asked. "I'll tell you later." He said when Lindsey walked in the back. "Hi Blair." She said to me. "Hey. Enjoy the show?" I asked. "No!" She said, and stormed by Brody. "Okay then. I have work up front." I said, and walked out. "Blair!" Jake said when he saw me. "Yeah?" I asked. "Can you take the counter today?" He asked. "Sure." I said. "Just until lunch. Then I want to go over some more finance stuff with you." He said, and smiled. "Great. I can't wait." I told him, and walked behind the register. The rest of the day went pretty smoothly. I never got a chance to talk to Brody about the concert. When his shift was over, he just left. I was surprized to see Chris when I walked out of the store to go home. He was standing at my car. "Hey." He said, and hugged me. "Hey. What are you doing here?" I asked him. "Don't be mad at me." He said. "Why would I be mad at you?" I asked. He handed me manilla file folder. I opened it up and read the first page.

It was my mom's name. Below her name was her phone number and address were listed. I started to cry. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done that. It just seems like you are ready, but just too afraid to talk to her. So I looked her up." He said. "Two towns." I said. "What?" He asked. "TWO TOWNS? SHE IS ONLY TWO TOWNS AWAY?" I shouted. He shrugged. "What do I do know?" I asked. "That's up to you. I just want you to know that what ever you decide to do, I'll be here." He said. "Can you drive me home. I can't drive." I said, wiping my eyes. "Of course." He said, and hugged me. I started to cry more. "Lets get some gillato." He said, and I smiled. "Okay." I said. We got in his car and he drove to a shop down the street. When we got there my phone rang. I answered it while Chirs ordered for us. "Blair!" Sage shouted on the other side. "Hey bro. How are you?" I asked him. "Pretty good. How are you?" He asked. "I'm okay. Whats up?" "I just found out I got accepted for the California Pharmaceutical's internship!" He said, excitedly. "What? Really?" I asked. "Yeah!" He said. "That is awesome!" I told him. He was always the really smart one out of the three of us kids. I always laughed when I thought of what people must think of his name. "Yeah. I thrilled." He said. "Hey. Can ask you something?" I asked him. "Yeah, sure." He said. "A friend of mine located mom." I said. He didn't say anything. He took her leaving the hardest. "Are you going to see her?" He asked. "I don't know." I said. "If you do I think we should all go." He told me. "Yeah. Let me see what Rain thinks." I said. "Okay. Call me later." He said. "Bye." "Bye." I said, and hung up. Chris sat down at the table with me and handed me a huge wafflecone full of chocolate and cherry gillato. "Holy shit!" I said, looking at it. "It's good." He said. "It's huge!" I told him, and he laughed. "Just eat it!"
