Laurel lifted another suitcase in to the back of the car, frowning at how heavy it was.

"I swear he's more of a girl than I am," she said as she realized who it belonged to. Sighing, she heaved the last one in and slammed the trunk door to the SUV closed. She began walking back, feet down looking at the pair of Toms on her feet. The door almost collided with her face when none other than Kellin Quinn burst outside, singing the Phineas and Ferb theme song at the top of his lungs.

"Kellin, this is why I love you," she said, nearly crying with laughter. Kellin stopped and smiled.

"Are you guys almost ready to go?" he asked, half calling inside to the house. Laurel's friend Meghan stepped out, followed by Katelynn, who hurridly rushed into Kellin's arms.

"I'm gonna miss you so much," her lips forming a pout. Kellin looked into her eyes and gave a sad smile.

"I'll miss you too," he said. Meghan rolled her eyes and motioned for her and Laurel to walk a few feet away and give them a minute. They were literally shaking with excitement at the long trip ahead of them. They could hardly believe they were even able to do this at all, especially after all that both girls had been through. You see, they'd both had rather rocky beginnings. Both girls were talented and could sing – which is how they ended up living with Kellin. How they got there, however, isn't exactly a story of working your way to the top.

One day Laurel had walked home from school to see a blazing inferno consuming her house in Chicago. She was the only one in her family to have survived the fire – and she didn't think there was anywhere she could possibly go. She had nothing – except Max, her cat that somehow escaped.

Meghan, originating from Leominster Massachusetts (A.K.A. the middle of WestBumFuck) had run away from her abusive parents that planned on shipping her off to Maine – a place she hated with all her heart. She had her clothes and shoes and her guitar – that was all.

Both girls made their way to California and met up on the street. They found they had a lot in common when Laurel found Meghan setting a poster of Adele on fire and Laurel had laughed until tears poured down her cheeks. They hit it off and, both being homeless, decided to stick together. Kellin found them on a side walk, Meghan playing her guitar and Laurel singing to one of his songs – 'All my Heart'. It was very casual and they had been playing out of boredom, leaving the guitar case open in case someone decided to give them money or some shit like that.

Kellin liked the sound of Laurel's voice, and both girls immediately recognized him. Somehow, he ended up taking them in. Katelynn was all for it – she loved the girls, playing with their hair and finally having someone other than Kellin to go shopping with. Now, they were leaving their California home for another huge adventure – Warped Tour.
