Chapter 11

Taylor's point of view

    I'm getting ready to go over to Crystal's room to watch a movie. I still have Ike's warning running through 

my head when my Dad comes in.  

    "Son, can I talk to you about Crystal?"  He says.  Oh great, Ike was right.

    "Sure" I say

    "Your Mom and I are worried that the two of you are getting too serious.  You're too young to have a 

serious girlfriend.  Plus we will be going back to Tulsa after the tour."  Dad says.

    "But Dad, I love her!  Besides Ike has a steady girlfriend in Michigan."  I say.

    "That's different.  He is older.  Plus they aren't serious."  he says.

    I look at my watch. "I'm going to be late"

    "Ok. We'll talk later." Dad says.  I sigh and then leave.  


Crystal's point of view.

    It's been one week since Justin asked my Mom out.  She and I are talking in our room while she is getting 

ready to go on a date with him.   

    "Mom, again I'm sorry about running out like that.  I just wish you and Dad would get back together.

But I know that won't happen so I'm glad you and Justin are going out."  I say to her.

    She says "It's ok. I understand. I wanted to get back with your dad at first too but now I just want to move 

on.   You know that Dad and I still love you don't you?"  I shake my head. "Do you and Taylor have plans for 

tonight?"

    "Yep. We'll probably order room service and watch a movie on TV."  I say.

    "I hope your not getting too serious with him.  You're to young to have a serious relationship plus we will

be going back to Boston when this is all over."  She says.

    "But Mom I love Taylor.   I want to continue seeing him after the tour!"  I say.

    "I don't think that will be possible" Mom says.  Just then there is a knock on the door.  Mom opens it.

It's Justin. She turns to me and says "We'll continue this later."  Then she leaves.  I go to the bathroom to 

freshen up.  Taylor will be here soon.


Taylor's point of view

I go over to Crystal's room and knock on the door.

   She answers.  She looks bummed.

    "What's wrong?" I ask her.

    "Mom thinks we are getting too serious.  She thinks I am too young to have a serious boyfriend and that

going back to Boston after the tour will make a relationship between us difficult."  She says.

    I sigh.  "My Dad said that my parents feel the same way." I say.

    "Oh great!"  She says.

    "Don't worry we have 2 months to figure something out."  I say and give her a hug and a kiss.  "Let's order

something from room service and choose a movie"

    "Ok." she says.  We order pizza and start watching the movie.  But I know we are both thinking about how

we are going to convince our parents that we should be able to stay together after the tour.  Hopefully we 

will find a way
