"You're WHAT now?"
I ran my hand over my face, trying not to be too shocked. We all saw this coming, just not in the middle of planning our last tour of the album. We were weeks away from our first show, and now this?
Shaun stood there awkwardly, fidgeting in his nervousness. "I'm getting married. I wanted you guys to be the first to know."
Ted grinned, the idiot. Of course he was always the happy one. Jumping up in excitement and hugging Shaun, Johnny joined in. Sara sat on the edge of the couch, smiling, but I knew she was anxious now. I sighed. There wasn't much we could do at this point but congratulate him.
"She's a lucky girl, Shaun. You know we'll miss you though." Sara, always the diplomatic one.
Breaking out of the group hug, his expression changed to one of business.
"I knew I'd be leaving you guys in a shitty situation, so I went ahead and took the liberty of speaking to the label about some replacements. I know who I want to replace me, and they've approved it. I swear you'll love her."
Sara's face paled. Control freak that she was, I knew this was a mistake. Shaun however, had no idea how much choice we'd had into his original choosing to join us. Sara stood up, arms crossed.
"You're saying they've already hired someone, that we've never met, to play on our biggest tour yet?" Now Shaun was pale.
"Uh… yea."
