Beautiful Remains
Revelation
~Andy's POV~
When I got back o the tour buss, I set her down on the leather seat closest to me and took off the well worn trench coat she wore and decided she could sleep in my bunk. I then carried her small frame to the back of the buss and set her in my bunk, (wich was just full of old band posters and Batman shit) I covered her with the blankets and made shure she would be warm, then remembered my heating blanket I turned that on for good measure.
Ashley and the guys had now come back and CC was looking like he was about to explode with the intensity of the situation. "What happened!? Ashley said you found some one on the streets, starveing???" He asked me looking overly worried, Chuppy, the king of freaking out...
"Look, she's sleeping on my bunk right now. I don't now what happened to her, but it looked like she had no place to go." I said before I brought up the subject as what to do with her, I had to think, she definitely had no money, and she didn't seem to have any body with her... should we let her stay with us?
"So, what should we do with her?" Jinxx asked, his voice quiet as usual.
"We need to help out some how." I said.
"Do you think she'd be willing to come with us?" Ashley asked.
That's when John walked in our tour manager, "Hay, I heard what happened." he said closing the door behind him.
"Do you think we could help her out, ya know let her stay a while until she's got a place to stay?" Ashley asked.
John looked around at the rest of us, "Well as long as we can all agree-"
"Yes. She'll stay." I said looking at everyone, they nodded in agreement.
"Then it's fine by me." John said before going up to the front and telling the driver to get going.
I then turned to the jacket that I had taken off of her and started to go through the pockets, I wanted to know who she was at least. In the trench coat I found; a few coins, a dead iPod, and what looked like a wallet. I set the coins and iPod on the counter and opened up the wallet. Inside I found an ID, What looked like a folded document a blood doner card and what looked to be an old photograph of her parents. I picked out the ID first and found that her name was Raven M. McAlister, the ID showed a much different and possibly slightly younger her. Her face was fuller and her eyes where bright and lively her coppery hair falling over her shoulders carelessly. I picked out the blood doner card to find she was O negative. I shrugged and put the cards back and opened up the folded documents. They where diplomas, collage diplomas, one for an English major and the other for computer programing.
"This must have been what made her broke..." I mumbled to myself.
"What cha' got there Andy?" Jake asked looking over my shoulder to see the things I found in her coat. "Damn, she must be more than broke..." he said looking at the Diplomas.
"What?" Ashley asked looking at the English Doctorates degree she had received. "Holy crap."
A Doctorates in English and a Bachelors in Tech, no wonder she was broke. "She must have paid out her last dollar just to pay off the depts..." Ashley said quietly, I remembered than that Ashley had been homeless and living out of his car for quite a bit before we actually met.
I nodded and lay the papers out flat so they might look a little nicer, I then picked up the iPod and plugged it in. A few minutes latter it's screen lit up and made an electronic beeping noise. I picked it up and found she had never put a lock on it. The lock screen... it was a pick of us. Obviously a fan, I opened it and found that it was several years old now, it didn't look like it had ever been updated. The back ground was of crumpled Monster Cans I opened up the photos and found none. I closed the app and decided to see what she had been listening to. I opened it up to find that infact she had been listening to one of our songs from the last album.
"So she's a fan! Sweet!" CC said now peering over my shoulder too. Jinxx was now examining the photo of her family and looking a bit sad.
"Jinxx, what's up?" I asked then realized he was looking at something on the back.
He only slid the photo over the back upwards, and we saw faded writeing.

Had it not been for this, we wouldn't of realized what this woman was going through, she was entirely alone it seemed. We looked at each other and silently agreed, she should no longer have to be alone.
