Rian played harder as he went through his usual warm up routine. Usually when he was stressed, he played. By the time he was done with his routine, whatever had been bothering him was gone. But not this time. It was the third, almost fourth, time round and if possible he was even more stressed out then when he started playing. Everything seemed to be going wrong at once. First York going back in her shell and not talking to anyone just like it was when she was with Scott and everything was happening. Then his mom had to go and get sick. Well, they didn't even know if she was sick yet. She had gone to get a breast exam and they found something. The doctors made an appointment in a few weeks to get it checked. But waiting to hear what was going on was the worst. Not to mention his brother wasn't being very helpful with the whole thing. But that was another story that he didn't want to get into. But no one knew about his mom. He didn't want to tell anyone until they knew for sure what it is. So he just kept it in letting it eat at him in secret, overworking his already messed up shoulder even more.

Finally he had to stop. His shoulder on fire and getting really sick of the looks Alex was giving him every time he passed the open door to their studio. As soon as they moved in, that was the first thing they had done. Built a studio and put all their gear in it to practice in when they wanted. Only instead of closing the door like he usually did any other time he used it, he left it opened catching all of Alex's worried looks. They both knew that that night was the night that Abbey would be talking to York. So both of them were on edge. Alex considered York a close friend like the rest of the band and crew did, instantly loving her the moment they all met in high school. Everyone always teased Rian about being so close to York, figuring it out easily about the major crush he had on her, and she on him. But that whole idea of being happily together got blown after Scott happened.

Standing from his stool, he grabbed the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead as he headed to his room. He pulled off his shirt along with his shorts and headed to the bathroom for a shower to try and calm him down.

After the shower went from cool to freezing, he finally got out. Wrapping a towel around his waist and walking back into his room. Just as changed into sweats and a old shirt, he heard his name being called from the living room. Worried, he went downstairs as quickly as possible and found Alex in the room with the phone in his hand.

"Abbey just called,"
