After Haylie was released from the hospital, her, Emma, Mike and John were on their way to the next city for Raw, and Haylie was in the back, resting her head on a window, just hoping that she would fade away from the world…and that almost happened in her mind, but not until her cell phone vibrated in her pocket.
"For once we don't have to hear that annoying ringtone." Mike said as he looked up at the ceiling of the car, and looking like he was praying to the Lord.
"You're just saying that because you absolutely hate Marianas Trench." Haylie said as she out her cell phone and saw that it was a text from Sydney.
To: Haylie
From: Sydney
Hey, heard that Wade might be making an appearance in court…
…hope that bastard gets what he deserves (yn)
To: Sydney
From: Haylie
Yeah, let's hope so (yn)
Haylie placed her phone back in her pocket as soon as there was a band battle between the Mizanin siblings: Which musician is better: Marianas Trench or Shinedown. 'Looks like this battle is something I do not wanna get involved.' Haylie thought as she just saw the battle go down.
Hour Later
"Can we just agree to disagree or whatever the heck it's called." Emma offered.
"Yeah sure." Mike replied as there was a period of silence before muttering, "Shinedown's better."
"Shut up." Emma said.
"Make me." Mike said as he stook his tongue out to his younger sister, but then ended up getting something thrown at him.
"Hay, why the hell did you throw your shoe at me?" Mike asked.
"Because I'm cool like that, now shut up and accept that Marianas Trench is a good band." Haylie said.
"Fine—and I'm saying that because I don't want a shoe thrown at me." Mike said.
"Fine." Haylie said, then commented, "Speaking of shoes, can I get my shoe back now?" Then ended up having her purple converse thrown at her. "I said give me the shoe."
"And I did." Mike said.
"Not throw it at me moron." Haylie said. "Gosh."
"What's up with people calling me a moron?" Mike asked.
"Uh, maybe it has to do with something that you are one dude." John said.
"Oh you don't help to this situation." Mike said.
"What, you asked a question, and I answered." John said. "Do I need to be sued for that?"
"Hey, we got one court ordeal going on here, we don't need to have two." Emma said.
"Exactly." Haylie said.
There was a very long period of silence before Haylie randomly comments, "Besides, Faber Drive is better."

Upon arriving to a hotel, they decided that the girls should room together and the guys should room together. While unpacking, Emma noticed Haylie sitting crossed legged on her bed with her iPod, so she suddenly asked, "What are you doing Hay?"
"What are you, a cop?" Haylie joked.
"Well I could be, you never know." Emma joked back sitting beside her friend. "So what are you doing?"
"Playing Zombieland." Haylie replied.
"Movie or the iPod game?" Emma asked.
"The iPod game." Haylie replied.
"Sweet, I always wanted to play that, is it good?" Emma asked.
"Hell yeah." Haylie said, then thought: It's actually really nice to act like my normal self for a little while…I just really hope I could act like myself for a lot longer.

"Hey I'm going out, wanna come?" Emma offered.
"Where to?" Haylie asked.
"Probably to a club or something, nothing too much." Emma said. "So, up for it?"
"Um." Haylie thought for a minute before replying, "I'm actually not up for that right now."
"Alright." Emma said. "But if you wanna come, just, come." Then she left.
A few minutes after the Ohio native left, Haylie just sat on the couch and watched television, or movies, depending on what she could find.
Few Hours Later
Few hours later, Haylie woke up from the sleep that she didn't even know she had, looked at her iPod clock and saw the time was: 2:45 AM. Where the fuck is she? Haylie thought, then suddenly heard a noise, like a cat landing on the ground from someone dropping it or something. "Fuck." Haylie muttered over and over again as her body started to tense.
"Please hope it isn't him again, please hope it isn't him again." Haylie whispered to herself over and over again.
