....

I woke up to yelling in the living room, "YOU KNOW WHAT I ONLY USED YOU AS A FUCKING TOY! YOU WERE NOTHING TO ME!" I heard angel say.. oh shit.

I jump out if bed and see Sydney crying and angel yelling at her, Chris comes out confused, "what the fuck happend" Chris says, looking at angel. "Don't fucking blame me! She is the one who wanted to talk about why I called her a bitch and what we were, and got mad when I said we were nothing" angel says pointing to her.

"Doesn't give you the fucking right to sit there and yell at her" Chris says, getting all up in angels face, "back the fuck off of me" angel pushs Chris back and Chris swings, causing a whole fight. Sydney, go to the room and call James or cliff or kirk or lars idc just call someone ill get Charles", syd nodds and goes to the kitchen to the phone, I run to Charles and see him waking up, "get up now, Chris and angel are fighting" I say, Charles jolts up and runs the the living room.

Angel is pinned on the ground and Chris is punching him, angel is trying to get Chris off but he's not loosing up, "VAL THERE ON THERE WAY" syd yells from the kitchen, I yell back okay and me and Charles try to get Chris off of angel, but nobody is moving.

"OW FUCKING BITCH" Charles says, holding his nose. "What the fuck, you punched Charles angel?!" I say, looking at angel pissed. "YES! tell him to let me fight this physiopath!" Angel says, punching Chris in the gut, "OH IM THE FUCKING PHYCIOBATH?" Chris says, uppering cutting angel, causing a worse fight.

Fuck we can't get them off of eachother.

"OPEN THE DOOR" I hear James yell, I run to the door, "Fucking finally we've been banging on it for a hot minute!" James says, rushing in and seeing Chris and angel fighting.

Kirk, lars and cliff all came in, kirk looks confused at everything, cliff and James run to get Chris off of angel, lars and kirk to angel getting him away from Chris.

Finally they pull them apart from eachother after minutes of trying, "get out" Chris says, Iooking at angel, he was bruised, busted lips, bleeding nose, black eye.

"You can't do that!" Angel says, wiping blood from his nose, "yes I can, it's my house, get out, your done with this band" Chris says, straighting up, he only had a few bruises on him.

Sydney comes out of the kitchen, eyes puffy and nose stuffed, I go over and comfort her. "Fine, this is all that bitches fault anyway, I never liked her, she just had good sex, and val, fuck you" angel says, storming off to his room.

"Okay well, what happened?" Kirk says, looking confused. "Long story short, when we were at the park yesterday and angel took your weed, he blamed it on Sydney for you finding out, even if she didn't know he couldn't have it, so he called her a bitch, then I guess they both woke up at and she asked him why he called her a bitch and what they were, then she got mad when he said nothing, like that they were nothing, and he started yelling and when me and Chris woke up, Chris got mad because angel was not letting Sydney go on anything, cussing at yelling at her, Chris got in his face about it and angel shoved him and you know.. Chris punched him" I explain.

All there faces dropped, even Charles, he didn't even know what's going on etheir. "Wait so how'd Charles get the bloody nose?" Lars asked pointing at Charles, "oh shit I forgot I had this" Charles goes to the bathroom to rinse off the blood, lars still looks confused "angel punched him when we tried to pull Chris and angel apart" I say, shrugging.

"Im go to my room and cool off" Chris says, I nodd, "Sydney go to our room and lay down" I say, she nodds and I go to the kitchen followed by James, lars, kirk and lars. "James you can go to me and syds room and stay with her if you want, you look worried" I say, he nodds and goes to find the room.

"Well it's 4 am so what now?" Kirk asks, "uh I don't know, but now we are short of a base player, and tour starts tomorrow" I say, "fuck that's true but is it okay if I go with Charles?" Lars asks, "yeah that's fine" I say, he nods and goes to find him.

"Can't we find someone?" Cliff says, "I do know someone that might wanna play" kirk says, "who" me and cliff say, "a boy named micheal" kirk says, "wait, Michael Dickenson?" Cliff says, "yeah?" Kirk says, I look up, "I know him" I say, smiling, "same!" Cliff says, kirk looks shocked, "he went to the same highschool as us?" I said, kirk nods, "then yep I do!" I say, "let's call him, I know he's up" kirk says, cliff nods.

Ring, Ring, "Hello?" I heard a voice say, "hey Michael it's kirk", "oh hey man what up" Michael says, "well you need a band to play with right?" Kirk says, micheal hums yes, "well I have the perfect one, they are in need of a base player, like we go on tour with them tomorrow" kirk says, "really? What band" micheal says, "hearts of smoke" kirk says, "YES, DEFINITELY THEN" Micheal says, "okay, get your equipment and meet at ****** by 8." Kirk says, "Okay bye thanks" micheal says, kirk hums and hangs up, well maybe this won't be so bad after all.
