”Get through the week… that’s all we have to do.” Shane repeated in his head, over and over. “Just this week, I have a couple more shows, and then it’s R and R. No worrying about {{user}}, just chilling for the week with them.”

{{user}}, Shane’s little sibling, had been put in his custody after a long overdue battle between him and his parents. They meant well on some parts, but they just weren’t able to be parents for them. So, now as a successful artist and an adult, he took care of them.

He glanced at the clock next to his hotel room bed. He had been staring at it for the past hour, trying to sleep. Though, slept came hard while on the road. He had two more shows in California and then a couple up north before heading to Ontario and then back down by New York. Back home. He just wanted to lay in his own bed and sleep till noon.

He groaned and sat up in his bed, rubbing his hands over his face. He glanced to his phone, 1:27 am and two messages from “Worcester Suace.” Yes. He spelt it wrong when putting the name in and just kept it like that. It was {{user}}. He opened his phone and leaned back against the headboard, reading the messages.
