	The last many weeks since Echo's accident had been a blur, beyond a blur. Tasha wished it had been even blurrier. There had been so much going on she wished she couldn't remember most of it but sadly years and years of cramming for exams and working in hospitals made everything beyond clear. Maybe she should take up drinking and kill some of her brain cells, it would have been better in her mind. Granted there had been some good in all of it but in the end there was enough bad that she really wanted to forget. 

	Had she taken Dom's suggestion to not take on so much and give herself a chance to recoup? Nope. After leaving the rink she was right back at the hospital until morning keeping an eye out on Echo. She switched off with Jeje once visiting hours began, got some rest, did her shift and was right back in that chair come night. It kept up for a week until Echo was discharged. 

	Then the fun began. Between taking care of Echo at home the following week, working with Jeje in talk sessions for his [i]condition[/i], what she had going on at the hospital, prepping for finals, and Sam... She didn't sleep more than a couple of hours the entire week. Yeah... Sam... It was over. Would it get back on track one day? No one knew but it was more than obvious that Tas had been devastated by the decision she had made. That it just wasn't going to work between them right then. Some were surprised to find out they had even been dating, others were surprised it had ended. 

	Tas made a quick decision and ended up moving into Jeje's room across the street and let him move into hers for the next while. Least until Echo was fully healed. She didn't need constant care now and Tas had done enough work with Jeje that she felt comfortable leaving Echo alone with him now. Jeje knew to come get Tas if anything popped up, her phone was glued to her hip while she was in town and when she wasn't she had friends at the hospital on call for Jeje and Echo if anything went wrong. 

	Which was good since Tas without word to anyone up and vanished about two weeks after Echo was out of the hospital. She said nothing, messaged no one and even turned her phone off. That was ten days ago... No word, nothing from the doctor. That was until she sent out a mass text to everyone...

Back, at the Mighty Bean. We're leaving for Disneyland today right? Who's riding with me?[/color][/center]

	Hitting send she rested her phone on the table in front of her; her luggage still packed with tags on it from the airport. [i]Chicago, Boston, San Fransisco[/i]

[b]Interacting With:[/b] Tas
[b]Date:[/b] April 25th[/center][hr]

	Things for Claire had been more than interesting over the last few weeks. Thankfully not nearly as eventful as with Tas but Claire had been more than busy. All starting with the new comer Fletch. He was more than a handful to deal with and that was saying something considering she was used to dealing with all eight of her brothers. Even though he was a lot to take in she had to admit she enjoyed him being around. When he came into the gym she knew she was going to have a good time and they would fight for hours. She ended up clearing out her schedule on the days she was to train him. They would always run over with their times into her slots for others; it was just better to move them to other days. 

	And in the end he seemed a stand up enough guy when it came to things with Dom, which was good. It was one thing to beat the shit out of someone in the ring; it was a whole different matter when it came down to just beating the shit out of someone. After everything that had gone down with Eddie, Claire was trying to play nice. Nice for her was avoiding her room mate as much as possible and she was more than happy when Tas moved in to Jeje's room while Echo recovered. It was good to have her sis around and provide a distraction. 

	Then there were new comers to the group. Several of their old friends leases were up and instead of renewing them, several had moved out. This left openings in each of the apartment buildings but that was alright. They didn't stay empty long, there was a waiting list for these apartments and before they knew it there were new faces in the buildings. Both of them seemed alright but Claire knew it would take time to get them settled in. With the upcoming trip, it seemed like a perfect time. Tas and Claire did some talking with the group and pulled some strings, getting each of the new comers tickets to join them at Disneyland. Would be a good chance for everyone to really get to know each other. Things seemed to be looking up.

	That was until Tas was up and gone one morning. Claire originally thought she had been called into work, that happened a lot with Tas. She had messaged her but got nothing back. Wasn't uncommon, if things were hectic at the hospital it could take hours until she got a reply. Still one didn't come. After twelve hours Claire went up to the hospital but was informed that Tas had not been in at all and from what they had heard from the rumor mill was that she had put in for personal time off the night before and had no idea when she would return. 

	That wasn't like Tas, to up and leave with no word. Tas was always very careful; keeping in contact with people, letting them know what was up, the whole nine yards. Last time she had gone to the beach alone for a day she had left detailed instructions on how to reach her under various circumstances. That was for a day and she planned it out weeks in advance. Now, she was just gone?

	The last ten days had Claire in a fit of worry. Even calling Tas's father to see if he had heard from her, no answer. Claire called her family back in Boston; wondering if maybe after everything that had gone down with Sam she decided to take a trip to see the one guy she knew would be happier than a pig in shit to see her; Murphy. No go, no one had seen her there either. 

	So when the text came in from Tas as she was prepping her bag for Disneyland she nearly jumped out the window to the street below. Barely able to contain herself she ran out the apartment, bags in hand; was nearly hit by a taxi as she dashed across the street. [color=82ca9d]"I'm walking here!"[/color] she screamed before tearing back off and nearly tackling Tasha when she saw her sitting there, alive and breathing.

	[color=82ca9d]"Where the fuck have you..."[/color] Claire started before she leaned back from the hug and took a good look at Tas. She had lost weight, looked beyond tired, dark circles under her eyes and as if she had been crying the last week. [color=82ca9d]"Tas... what happened?"[/color] she asked concerned.
