CHAPTER 4 As the limo arrived at the hotel, piercing screams filled the air. Taylor groaned but kept in mind that it was his fans and the "scream squad" that made it possible for him and his family to travel all around the world. The family stepped out of the vehicle and the screams swelled. He quickly grabbed his earplugs out of his backpack and stuck them in his ear. He could still faintly hear the crowd chanting 'Hanson! Hanson!' but it was nowhere near as loud as before. Taylor looked around and noticed a really pretty girl about his age looking out of her apartment window across the street. Strangely enough, she didn't wave back. He looked closely and saw another girl appear and lead the girl out of the room. 'hmm....' he thought ' strange'. Just then Zac came running at such a high speed that he almost knocked Taylor down.
"Zac!!! Slow down buddy! What's the rush?" Zac gave Taylor a vicious grin. "I wanna get the best bed dude! I always have to share with you or Ike, I want my own bed, and I want the best one!!!!" Taylor patted Zac on the head and chuckled. "Sorry bud, but not if I get there first!" With that, Taylor ran full speed into the hotel and stepped into the elevator quickly pushing the button so that Zac couldn't get in. "So long sucker!!!!" He laughed at himself and then heard a laugh behind him. He looked to see the two girls he had seen in the apartment across the street. One of the girls stepped foward and introduced herself.
"Hi, I'm Monica, and this is my sister Christina." Taylor shook hands with her and smiled sweetly. He looked over at Christina and noticed that her crystal blue eyes seemed to be staring off into the distance. He looked closely for a second and then looked at Monica with confusion.
"She's a daydreamer eh?" Monica smiled sympatheticaly and took Christina's hand. She glanced up at Taylor with tears in her eyes.
"I really wish it were that simple," she said.
"What do you mean by that," Taylor said even more confused.
"Christina had an accident a few years ago...she...she's blind." Taylor just stood there not knowing what to say. He didn't have to say anything though, because Christina spoke up.
"It's ok. I get that reaction from just about everyone. Taylor Hanson right? You're in a music group from Tulsa, Oklahoma am I right?" Taylor blushed but smiled sweetly.
"Yes that's true"
"Well, in that case, I absolutely love your music. Especially you, you've got a grea-" Just then the elevator door opened and Zac came charging at Taylor. Christina sensed him and moved over, but Monica was a little slow and got knocked over too.
"Aw man! Zac! Get off you freak!" Zac stood up getting off of Taylor and playfully punching him in the stomach.
"Well bud, it seems like I won, because my stuff is in the room on my luxurious bed. However, I didn't have the luck of meeting two FABULOUS babes. So Tay, did you save one for me?" Taylor laughed and slapped Zac over the head.
"Animal, grow up." Zac grinned and shook his head.
"Nuh uh baby, I ain't never growing up. Being a kid kicks ass!!!" Taylor smiled for a second and then he slapped his forehead.
"Oh my gosh am I rude!!!! Okay, Zac, Monica. Monica Zac. Zac, Christina, Christina, Zac."
"Nice to meet you Zac," Monica said politely. Zac stuck out his hand to shake hers, and then put it in front of Christina. Christina didn't move, but said a shy hello. He put his hand in front of her again, then stared into her blue eyes. It was after a few moments of inspection that he realized that she couldn't see him. Just then she spoke up.
"Don't do that Zac. I may be blind, but it's no good feeling when you can feel somebody studying as if you were some sort of alien." Zac, a little shocked by her remark froze for about two seconds feeling incredibly stupid. He however, was so loaded with sugar, that it didn't last for long.
"So, are we just gonna stand here all day or are we gonna go into the hotel room." They started to walk to the room, Christina was being directed by Monica and Taylor and Zac were about two feet ahead of them.
"Hey Tay, so you like Monica eh? Or Christina?" Tay grabbed Zac's head and gave him a noogie.
"Ow!!!! Stop that you dork!" Taylor laughed and tightened his grip on Zac's head.
"Promise to shut up?"
"Yeah! Let go you freak!"
"You're gonna have to ask nicely!" Taylor said with a huge grin on his face.
"Please master let go of my head, you might hurt the precious brain in this glorious being. You'd be left without the glory of the most intelligent drummer ever to walk the face of the earth. Please master!!! Please!" Taylor gave Zac a strange look and then started cracking up.
"Ok...I guess that's good enough for me. But you're no Einstein dude, you're a Billy
Madison in my book!" Taylor let go of Zac's head and looked back to see Christina's eyes
penetrating his. It was so strange. It was almost as if she could see him and was staring
straight at him, but he knew she wasn't. He turned his head and searched for the key his
mother had given him. Finding the door, he twisted the key into the lock and pushed the
door open. He looked back to see that Monica and Christina were no longer behind him.
