Taylor could feel his face going red. This was just one of the whispers going on around him.
Finally he got to the beginning of the line. Unfortunately, the girl behind the counter started freaking out too.
"Move it Suzi." muttered one of the guys to the girl.
Suzi could barely take her eyes off Taylor and had to be pushed out of the way.
"Sorry about that - Taylor." the guy said to him.
"I should be used to it." Taylor murmured.
"Yeah. So what do ya want?"
It was not without great relief that Taylor got to get back to his family where they were waiting at the table. They soon were tucking into their food like they hadn't eaten all week.
"Are you boys ready for the concert tonight?" asked Walker.
"You bet." Ike replied.
"And then, we go back to Tulsa. Yahoo!" Zac exulted.
Zac danced around in a circle before plopping down on his seat. He grinned charmingly at his family.

"Could we have your autographs? asked one nervously.
"Sure." Ike replied.
They got out their pens and the girls handed them a couple of pieces of paper.

Taylor kept hold of his and started drawing on a napkin.
"Whatcha drawing Tay?" asked Ike, peeking over his shoulder.
Taylor moved his hand. Ike looked and frowned.
"What's bothering ya?" he asked.
"Did he draw her again?" inquired Zac.
Ike nodded, looking at Taylor.
"The only thing bothering me at the moment, is all those people pointing and whispering and not bothering to say hi." he replied.
"Come on boys. Time to meet up with your mother and get to the concert hall." Walker said.
After their last concert of the tour, they got into the tour buses and drove back to Tulsa. They arrived back home at around one fifteen in the morning, and were not impressed at having to get up and haul all their stuff into the house before they could go back to sleep, but they did anyway.
