"Hey there you guys are, where's your bags?" Sam asked.

"Yeah weren't you supposed to be packing?" Aryia asked.

"Yeah..but instead Seth and I had a little talk." I responded.

"About what?" Colby asked.

"Well, about us. We talked about our feelings and how we truly felt...and I'm not sure if it's my place to tell you this but he felt jealous and nervous..scared even maybe?" I paused. "Seth, anything you want to add or say?"

"I mean..I guess so. You're right about everything. I was nervous, jealous, scared. I just never...I can't amount to what you and Aryia had in the past and what you still have now. Aryia loves you, and I do too it's just I can't love you as much as he does..." he said sighing at the end.

"Wow...so you..you're okay with being friends with her? Even if I wedged myself in between you guys?" Aryia asked.

"Yeah, don't worry about it man. No hard feelings." Seth flashed a soft, sad smile. "See you guys later alright?" He says and then leaves the house.

"Well...that's a good outcome I guess?" Sam bursts out.

"Dude looked upset." Katie commented.

"I know." I frowned.

"Quick question." Colby called out.

"To who?" Katrina asked.

"Hailey." Colby stated.

"What is it Colby?" I asked.

"When are you supposed to go back on tour? Or at least work in music?"

"Uh, well as a soloist I was taking a break just to focus on friends and family and being normal for a while...but now that I have Aryia back in my life...since he was my guitarist...I was thinking of getting the band back together.." I said looking over to Aryia.

"You're serious?" Aryia asked.

"Yeah, altho Kiko and Charlie wouldn't be there anymore. Charlie is spending time with his wife who just recently had a baby and working an average job. Kiko...well to put it this way doesn't really like Aryia. They never got along. Even if that wasn't the case, they working for a high end fashion designer now and that's their dream job and won't quit."

"Who are they?" Sam asked.

"Kiko was my backing vocals and bassist, Charlie was my drummer."

"Ah gotcha. So you need a drummer huh?" Colby asked.

I nodded. "Yea, why?"

Colby looked over to his sister, Katie. "How would you feel if my sister were to be your drummer? She's really good."

"Man that's right! I totally forgot she was a drummer. Would you be up to that Katie?" I looked to the girl asking her.

"I would love too, if you don't mind having me." She smiles politely.

"Of course I don't mind, now come give me a hug new bandmate." I say reaching out my arms for the girl.

She accepts and comes hugging me. "Thank you for this opportunity by the way, I'm so excited for this journey." She says in the hug.

"I am too. Besides I trust Colby's judgment. He means what he says and isn't afraid."

"That and he doesn't get demons up his butthole like s-"

"Aryia if you finish that sentence I will chop off your man parts so you guys will not be able to have children!" Sam threatens.

Aryia holds up his arms in defeat. "Fine." He then looks to me who was getting out of the hug. "So how are we gonna get a new bassist?"

"I guess we could hold auditions somehow. I know, let's start by creating posters tonight printing them out and then posting them around tomorrow morning and sharing them in our socials. Katie your included if you'd like, it be a great way to introduce you!" I beamed at the girl.

"Of course! I'd love to help you guys!"
