There are still no utilities and emergency services are at lower capacity. We've already suffered so much loss. Help us keep this process as safe as possible.""Holy mother of all that's holy!" Shelby exclaimed as she looked around the property that once held her sister's home. The place was a wreck, and there was no house left. There wasn't really much of anything left. She could barely make out the foundation amidst all the rubble. As Shelby took it all in she couldn't believe the destruction. Just across the street, the house had a couple broken windows, but it was

Being back home had been causing all sorts of crap to stir up, stuff that he'd buried a long time ago. Now all those old wounds had been opened up again. This was why he never went home, why he always took his family on vacation instead of going back to the place where he was reminded of everything he'd lost.The guys had been hitting the studio hard to get the next album laid out, and it was doing wonders for him. Working long, hard hours was keeping his mind off seeing Shelby, knowing she was with that douchenozzle, and the uphill bat

Chapter 13: The Price Of Fame
Someone was spotted at the airport again! Just a week after showing back up in L.A., Austin King is on the run again. No one is sure what he's running from or running to.

If you see the MIA rocker, make sure to use your app and track him so we can finally find out where he's gone off to."Hey, bro," Reagan said with a hug as Austin exited the airport. "Good flight?""Yeah, not too bad. There was this poor woman traveling with four kids alone on the first leg, though, and she looked like she was going to pull her hair out. The baby was having a heck of a time.""Gah, that sucks.""Yeah, I'd have gone certifiable within the first half hour. On the way to the bathroom, one of the younger kids kept smiling at me, so I stopped and played with her for a bit. When I finally convinced the woman

City officials said that there are limited utilities and encourage residents to keep that in mind as they head back to their homes.

We will rebuild, and we will not let this get us down."Rushing through the hospital, Shelby tried to get to her sister as fast as she could. She was supposed to be there. Anna shouldn't have woken up alone.

If he hadn't been there, she'd have fallen to the floor."Shelb," Anna said. Her voice was raspy, but she was speaking."Oh, AnnAnn, I..." She couldn't stop herself from going and

Chapter 17: Nothing Is Going On
Bren O'Neil has been spotted sunning it up on the beaches in Italy. She looked stunning in a sweet, modest bikini. She's been looking very fashionable on her evenings out, but what's been missing is a man. She's been seen with her best friend, Poppy Armstrong, and co-stars for the film she's working on, but that's it. The usually happy Bren hasn't been smiling much these days. Could long distance separation from Austin King be to blame?"Was that my imagination, or did I see Austin King in my room the other night?"Shelby eyed her sister and tried to figure out how she could dodge the question. "So, I was thinking about ice cream. You want some?""Don't you use ice cream to distract me.""Did it work?"Anna smiled. "No, but I will take some ice cream." When Shelby started to stand, Anna continued, "I'll take it after you tell me what's going on with you and Austin.""Nothing. Nothing is going on. He's still him, and I'm still with Colby.""I haven't seen Colby up here since

Chapter 18: No Cameras
Amanda Marks sure knows how to pick a man. It was last night when a reporter asked her about an alleged affair with her baby daddy, Austin King, when her husband, Shawn McMann, went off the deep end. When one claimed to have photos of the two, McMann hit the guy's camera knocking it to the ground. Seems like a sore subject for the couple, and people are wondering if there's truth to the rumor for McMann to act out the way he did. It wasn't long ago that King went off on a reporter for a comment made about Marks, and one has to wonder what that says about her taste in men."Good to see you, bro," KT said with a slap to Austin's back. "The place isn't the same without you.""Good to see you too," Austin said as he fist bumped Wil and Nate. "You guys ready to head that way?"Shouldering their bags, they followed Austin out of the small airport, and into the parking lot."We're definitely not in Kansas anymore, Toto," Wil said as he looked around.Austin laughed and hit the fob to op

With the town of Horace back open, rebuilding has begun. Homes and businesses are going up at a record pace. Everyone agrees that the school is a top priority. Crews have been hard at work and they've assured the town that next year the students will be attending school in Horace. They have committed to getting the auditorium finished in time for graduation so the seniors can graduate at HHS. Austin didn't know how long he'd been watching her sleep, but it was perfection. After she'd come apart in his arms, she'd tried to return the favor, but the look of terror on her face was like a cold shower on his libido. He'd pulled her hand away, kissed her on the forehead, and after a big yawn, she'd fallen asleep. Now he was nursing the biggest case of blue balls he'd had since he was a teen.Not sure what to make of her uncertainty, Austin worried what Shelby had gone through in her past relationship.
