When the Sum is 41

Doubting Your Decisions Or Embracing Them?

- Hours after the whole fair situation, Fall lays in her bed questioning what she has done.-

I can't play any instrument well. Why the fuck did I agree to this. I just can't say no, can I?

- Fall lays there debating her decisions -

What am I supposed to do?

- Without thinking, Fall grabs her guitar from under the bed -

If I'm going to be in this band, I'm not going to be the one to bring us down.
If we're going down, it's going to be Deryck's fault, not mine.

- Days, weeks, months, even a full year had gone by. Fall spent most of her time sleeping, working in her school, or playing her guitar trying to get better. She spent a good majority of her nights calling Dave to plan jam sessions or to prank call others. She and her band members had planned and recorded new songs for their band. They even recruited a new bassist named, Twitch. The four of them rocked the small concerts their school would hold and they were feeling amazing. They all even created their feature films. But... although Fall had practiced so much, she felt like nothing was making her better. -

-The phone rang... it was Deryck.-

"Scored us a gig at some bar tonight," Deryck said in a weird voice.

Fall:
"Deryck, it's 11 pm. My mother would kill me if I played at this time especially at a bar."

Deryck:
"And? Be there or I'll play for you. The thing is at 12."

Fall:
"Fine."

- Hang up -

Fall:
"Midnight concert... who asks a couple of teenagers to perform at 12?"

- Before Fall could continue practicing, she heard the phone ring from Steve's room. Not long after the door to her room burst open. -

Fall:
"Good evening, Mr. Jocz"

Stevo:
"You got the call, right?"

Fall:
"I sure did, Steve."

Stevo:
"FUCK YEAH! I'm gonna get so many chicks."

Fall:
"How are you gonna get out without mum noticing."

Le Stev:
"..."

Fall:
"Exactly."

Stevo:
"Window?"

Fall:
"I'm not jumping from the top floor of a house."

- Steve pushes Fall off her bed.-

Fall:
"Excuse me- what are you doing, dumbass?"

Stevo:
"Going to the concert."

- Steve opens the window and jumps.-

Fall:
"HOLY FUCK ARE YOU DEAD?!"

- Fall looks out the window to see Steve standing up and brushing the dirt off of his shorts and knees.-

Stevo:
"Nope feeling good."

Fall:
"You could've died from that, idiot."

Stevo:
"I'm Stevo 32 I won't die."

Fall:
"Stevo 32? What is that? A new band?"

Stevo:
"A name me and Bizzy came up with."

Fall:
"Bizzy?"

Stevo:
"Yeah."

Fall:
"Who the hell is Bizzy?"

Stevo:
"Find out yourself."

- Fall sits on the windowsill debating if she should jump down or not.-

Fall:
"Steve, should I jump?"

Stevo:
"Yeah, unless you're a pussy."

Fall:
"I ain't no pussy."

Stevo:
"Prove it."

- Before Fall could do anything she heard someone open the door to the hallway and she knew if she didn't act fast she'd get caught.-

Fall:
"SHIT- she's up."

Stevo:
"C'MON, FALL! JUST JUMP."

- Fall knew she had to jump, so she grabbed her guitar and tossed it down to Steve.-

Fall:
"Catch!"

- Steve caught it.-

Stevo:
"JUMP!"

- As she closed her eyes... she jumped.-

...

- She opened her eyes to Steve making childish faces at her.-

Fall:
"I hate you."

Stevo:
"You're a pussy."

Fall:
"I will beat your ass, sTeVo 32."

Stevo:
"You could never."

Fall:
"Let's find out, shall we?"

Stevo:
"You'll have to catch me first."

- Steve runs off into the trees.-

Fall:
"Jackass."

- Fall follows him.-
