CHAPTER 4

Taylor could see it in Zac's eyes. He turned to him and put his arm around his brother.
"Don't worry man! It's gonna be alright. We're all going to be together to go through it and darn gone it, we're gonna have a ton of fun!"
Zac grinned. His brother had this strange way of conforting him; somehow it always worked.

They arrived to destination hours later and went strait to their hotel. It was pretty dark out and getting really late so Hanson went right to bed. Well, practically because first, they wanted to check out who else was staying in the hotel so they hung around for a bit.

He tossed and turned around in his bed for hours but it was no use. Taylor couldn’t sleep and he was getting pretty pissed. He had to find out what was giving him insomia and finally be able to rest. He decided to go up to the observatory, watch the sky and think. Think about everything that was on his mind. The tour, his family, his friends and himself. He thought for a long time. The stars were shinning and the moon was big and bright. Tay knew his name was Jordan Taylor Hanson ;He knew that alright ! But who was this guy ? He asked himself. Who was he ? He couldn’t quite come up with an answer. Perhaps he just felt insecure about who he was and that’s what kept him awake for so long. He hadn’t shown too much emotions when they left tonight but now, he regreted it. He should have been himself and let it out like Zac had.

Taylor felt the warm breeze of the wind through his honey-colored hair as the sun rose into the sky. His watch beeped. It was five in the morning ; He had stayed up all night. Tons of things had gone through his mind. Taylor realized he had been out for way too long and got back to his room. He fell flat on his bed and slept like a rock until noon.

" TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
Taylor jumped off his bed as Isaac came running to him. He started laughing his ass off, just imagining what Ike had gone through. " Aww, I can’t believe I missed that! So tell me, how was it? " As Isaac wa about to speak, Zac entered the room. " Oh, it was fab. Tay! I got it all on tape dude! Wanna see it? " " No he doesn’t! What’s your problem Taylor? I’m gonna whup your ass you know! I can assure you it’s not even gonna be close to funny! I can’t believe you did that to me! I’m your brother! Luckily, there weren’t too many people. " " See, it wasn’t that bad was it? And besides, I was just getting you back for what you did to me yesterday! " Ike frowned and immediately went to the bathroom to change. " What happened to you Tay? Were you out swimming all night? " " Ha! No. I was actually up at the observatory until 5 in the morning. Now I feel really bad about it. " " Ahh, that explains everything! Come on, let’s watch the tape before Ike comes back! " Taylor grinned and Zac grinned back. They both raced to the television with excitment. Zac pushed the tape in the vcr.

Isaac was walking beside the swimming pool, not suspecting a thing. He didn’t know why Zac was videotaping but he didn’t mind. It’s probably for Mom and Dad, he thought. Ike decided to go down the slide to the right of the pool. This was gonna be funny! Taylor was cracking up already. This was so good! As Ike slided to the bottom of the slide, his shorts just totally came off, exposing his whole body to everyone around. He tried to get them back but theyhad stayed up, stuck on the slide. So, there he was, naked in the pool, girls and boys staring at him. People started screaming and running everywhere. No one wanted to be in the water anymore. Soon, the whole place was empty. The camera was shaking. Zac couldn’t help it. Isaac was red of shame. He got out of the water and ran to get his towel. Zac hurried to hide the cam before Ike would come to him. He wouldn’t be happy at all. Zac decided to get out of there for his own sake, but from where he hid, he could still watch Ike in the corner of his eyes. He waited until Isaac left and went up to their room and then followed him up.
