"Hey guys, I came to see if maybe I could help. I've seen the comments and questions on social media about Chances condition. I've worked in public relations with different groups, I think I may be able to help without revealing everything but giving the fans the information that they are looking for. I don't mean to intrude, I feel I need to do something. Chance and I have been friends since college" Jenika explained while taking a seat with others.

"We can use all the help we can get" replied Austin, getting nods from the others.

"What exactly have you done for other groups, like the types of PR. Interviews on their behalf, social media postings." Adam asked.

"Everything you've mentioned and more. I've actual served as tour manager for a couple, actually I still am for the one group" she replied.

"Ok, well let's get started then. We need to get something out and soon before more concerned fans start camping out here or the hospital" Adam stated.

Jenika slid over to the table, "may I" she asked Chris as she took his laptop. "If you could provide me access to all the social media outlets I'll get started right now. Also Adam, it would be a good idea to speak directly to the fans either online or perhaps with an interview at one of the radio stations to bring them up to date. As a group would be best. And what about the tour schedule? Is it continuing as is, are you taking time off? That should be included in any announcement" she told him.

"We haven't really thought about that, I mean Chance asked Chris to fill in while he's out and the fans all know that. We had our first concert last night before this happened" he answered, "but I still need to confirm a few things with our attorneys yet. Since we fired Luke we've used them in his place. Then there's Tim" he added.

Jenika quickly looked up "what about Tim" she asked trying not to sound too overly concerned.

"Chance gave him power of attorney over all decision making for him. Legal, personal, medical..all of it. Basically he has everything spelled out as to what is to be done on his behalf, assigned to Tim. He did it so not to burden his family, but I can tell you his sister is not liking the idea too much." Rob explained.

"Yeah, she was spitting and sputtering up a storm when she got here. She was so angry she pushed Tim several times then slapped him good in the face "Austin added.

" Yeah she has a stubborn streak, kind of like her brother" Jenika replied.

"Poor Tim has taken the brunt from both of them. Seems like he's always getting beat up" Rob stated sadly.

Jenika felt bad for Tim, she knew what Chance was going through wasn't to intentionally hurt Tim, it was the damn tumor. Heather on the hand, was a whole different story. She decided once she finished helping the guys, she and Heather were going to have a little talk.

****

Every hour Maggie and Heather would take their five minute turns checking in on Chance. Tim stayed in the waiting room off by himself, staring at the floor. Jake ran out to grab coffee and food while Marcus reassured Maggie each time she came back in that everything that could possibly be done was being done for the time being. Heather would just glare at Tim, not saying a word. He could feel her hatred towards him, but if she only knew how much he hated himself. Torturing  himself over and over again about the decisions he made. Did he do the right thing, why didn't he tell them sooner, and prayed he wouldn't make th same mistakes as last time.

"Tim.....Tim..." a voice called him bringing him from his thoughts. It was Maggie " sweetie you look exhausted. Why don't you go get some rest, you've been here all night" she told him as she sat down beside him.

" No, I'm fine Ms. Maggie. I need to stay, I told him I would stay"...Tim stated, his voice horse.

"Stay for what, to try to clear your conscious when he wakes up" Heather stated "for all you've put us through"

Tim just didn't have the strength to argue back with her. He couldn't understand how  surly she was towards him. He had only followed what her brother wanted him to do.
