"DUDE!" Brody shouted when I walked into the back of the store. "What?" I asked. "Guess who is having a signing at the fucking store?" He asked. "I don't know." I told him. "The White Stripes!" He shouted. "Oh cool." I said. "Oh cool? That's it!!! THE WHITE STRIPES!" He yelled. "She hasn't heard of the White Stripes either?" Lukas asked, walking in. "I've heard of them! I've just never really listened to them." I said. "Well you are going to start!" Brody said, and I laughed. He walked out front and left Lukas and I to clock in. "Hey, do you like Simple Plan?" He asked me. "Yeah. That is a band I actually listen to." I told him. "I've got an extra ticket for their show Saturday." He said. "Really? I heard the sold out." I said. "Yeah. I was wondering if you wanted to go?" He asked. "I would love to!" I told him. "I think I'm suposed to go see a local band with Brody though." "Oh, thats cool." He said. "Let me see if he minds if I cancel. I would kill to see Simple Plan." I told him. "Well, let me know. The ticket is yours if you want it." He said, and smiled. "Thanks." I said. "Sure." He told me, and walked out front. "Shit." I said under my breath. I felt like a jerk, but I loved Simple Plan. "Hey Blair." Ariel said, poking her head in the back. "Yeah?" I asked. "Some lady is up front asking for you." She said. "Some lady?" I asked. "Yeah." She said, then left. I walked out behind her and saw my mom up front. "Mom?" I asked, and walked up and gave her a hug. "Blair." She said. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I wanted to see you. I'm out!" She said, and threw her hands in the air. "That's great. How did you know where I work?" I asked her. "Sage." She said. "I wanted to see you guys right away after I got out." She said. "Wow. This is crazy. Where are you staying?" I asked her. "I'm staying with your aunt. And with Leo. Here is their address. It's about an hour away." She said, and handed me a piece of paper. I put it in my pocket. "I'll call tonight. Maybe swing by." I told her. "Thank you." She said, and smiled. I smiled back and gave her a hug. "Uh, I've got to work." I told her. "Oh, okay. I'll uh...bye." She said, kind of awkwardly. "Bye." I said, and she left. I touched the paper in my pocket and then ran to the back. I sat down on the couch and started crying. "You okay?" Jake asked me. "No. I need to go home!" I told him. "Yeah, sure." He said. "Thanks." I said, and ran out of the store. I got in my car and drove home as fast as I could.
