Emily's POV

I drove us all back to Gaby's house. We spent the car ride talking and singing, but I could tell that we all just wanted to start rehearsing and recording. It was going to be easy, considering the fact that we'd played these songs together via Skype before.

When we finally rolled up Gaby's driveway, I parked the car then hopped out to help carry the instruments into the house.

I then looked at Olivia.

"Let's go get the drum kit."

She ran to the car and hopped into the front seat, waiting for me expectantly. I climbed into the driver's seat and started the car.

I could tell that she wanted the ask me something, but she waited until we were on the highway to talk.

"So..."

"Yeah?"

She thought about how she was going to word whatever she was going to say.

"You know what, it doesn't matter. Forget it."

"Okay."

She picked up my phone and pressed shuffle on my music. 'Boxing Day' by blink-182 filled the car.

'Let's get started the faint and broken hearted

Hold up I got something I cannot hide

Worse pain killer that all in filler

The part and departed look in my eyes

It's sad how far you ran

I'll search this land up through the clouds

Then back here

We could reignite, like fireflies

Like an atom bomb at all hours'

The both of us harmonised with the chorus and spent the next ten minutes singing along to other songs and enjoying the drive.

When we finally arrived again at the Recluse's Haven, I had just parked the car when Olivia bolted out of the car and ran into the store.

I laughed and followed her in.

When I got inside, I heard Jed shout my name from the back room.

"EM! WE'RE IN HERE!"

I walked into the room and saw Olivia un-screwing the wing-nuts from her cymbals. She put on gloves and carefully lifted one cymbal off the stand and into a weird and round looking bag. She then put the wing-nut back and repeated the process for her other cymbals and hi-hats.

She then collapsed the cymbal stands and placed them into a large duffel bag.

Half an hour later, the two of us were driving back to Gaby's house with Olivia's drum kit packed in the back.

As soon as I parked the car in Gaby's driveway, Olivia jumped out and ran to the back. She grabbed about five cases and bags and waited for me to open the front door.

As soon as I swung open the door, our ears were assaulted with the music pounding through the house.

'Take a breath

And let the rest come easy

Never settle down

'Cause the cash flow leaves me

Always wanting more

'Cause I got your picture

I'm coming with you
