Remember Me

Chapter 5- Work and Play

The next morning.
Today's the recruitment of a new band member and the worst part is to make the guy whoever it may be coordinate with us n our tunes
With all that drama I woke a bit late today.
My phone rang, it was brad's call
"Dude did u get my message"
I said, "man, i left, like, 10 minutes ago."
I opened the window so that he could hear the traffic.
"You're late. Look, what have you been doing?", he said.
"What have I been doing? I had a rough night, rita broke up with me yesterday."
"Oh man", he mourned.
"ye...." I could say something, but then he uttered in between.
"Who's rita?"

"What?! Ua funny."
"M gonna be der in 10."
"Yeah and I believe you", he mumbled.
I kept the phone, got ready, grabbed my stuff and left the place.
We all met at a coffee shop. Our habitual place.
John started, "What is costa's problem? Why does he need a new recruit now!?"
Ted said sadly, "There are more problems than that John."
"What happened to you?", I said.

"Yesterday when I left from work, I was a bit tired, So I skipped the gym."
"So I thought of surprising vera. But when I reached at her place and opened the door,"
"I saw her with someone else."
Vera and ted have been in relationship since childhood. Looking at them i thought love existed.
"The guy who was sitting there was the guy she was having sex with?", I asked.
He nodded.
"Who was the guy?", said Brad.
"A guy named Ed. He looked like Kevin Hart from the movie 'Laugh at my pain'.", said Ted.
John pointed finger in excitement, "Agent Doug!!"
Ted nodded.
"What, I love agent doug!",Brad grinned.
Ted gave Brad a bad eye look.
"Not anymore", were brad's last words.
"Okay, and he was just sitting there on the couch?", I uttered.
"Yeah why?!", John said.
Ted sadly looked down.
"Cos she wants a break up."
"That's....oh u kidding me", i stammered
"I'm sorry"
Ted said, "And here's the kicker, the guy sitting there, the guy that looks like Kevin Hart, is the guy she's having sex with."
Brad patted ted, "I'm sorry buddy."
"Use this anger shit while playing drums today, that'll work.", john cheered him.
I stood up, "Ohk, I'm gonna go now. Need to buy some stuff for myself. So I'll meet u guys directly in the studio."
"I'm coming with you.", Brad said.
"Sure."
We left the place.
The store was 3-4 blocks away, so we started walking.
"I don't know what we're going to do, man", I said.
"We need to get him a hooker", Brad said.
"We can't afford a hooker.", I shooked.
"Yeah we can use a coupon. Get him a cheap hooker", Brad grinned.
"Right there."
Brad had a magazine in his hand. The back cover of it had an article.
"West village girls for hire!", I read.
"No, you are out of ua mind.", I said and started walking faster.
"Yeah!", he said.
We entered the shop.
"According to this article, most of the bars on the west side are filled with hookers.", he said.
"You know what I love about you is that you literally believe every single thing that you read.", I said.
"No i don't.", he refused.
"Yes you do. It's like you're nine years old.", I said.
I placed the stuff at the counter.
"Oh no no, they're like young cool hookers. They dress like hipsters and shit.", he said.
We left the shop.
"I doubt, that is the case."
"I've an idea. Tonight we get drunk and get laid.", I chuckled.
"He won't listen."
"He will."
My phone buzzed. It was John's msg, session's gonna start in 20, come fast.
We reached the coffee shop, sat in my car and went to the studio.

When we reached there, I saw dcosta standing on a distance with my crew.
Brad looked at me.
"Now he'll look at us and say 'uggg hey ya'll bitches, where the fuck were you two!?' ", Brad said in the rastafarian accent.
"Look at the new faces.", I said.
There wer 3 people who came for playing for the band.
Dcosta saw us. He greeted, "Bitches."
"Dcosta", I said and shaked hands with him.
"Should we start, what are we waiting for.", Brad said.
Ted was already practicing giving 8 beats per sec on hanging toms and china cymbal.
"What's into him?!", Dcosta asked me.
"Umm don't know. Let's audition these guys and practice.", I said.
"Naa...audition them, but they aren't coming. Use them for now."
I was confused.
"What do u mean?!"
"You think ya'll audit these new bitches and select one? I have my fucking money on this pussy trip, and I ain't no gonna let one of them fuck my show there. We are leaving in less than a week."
"So what do you think we should do?!", I asked.
He said, "Ya'll just practice, leave the rest on me."
"I have already selected our base guitarist."
"Who?", I asked.
"Ian. He owns a small art gallery in Derby. And he's been a base guitarist from past 5 years."
"He'll join us in Berlin. And I want you to see that all you guys coordinate."
"Okay", I said.
"Let's start playing", he shouted.

Suddenly now it has become a serious thing. Till now I was just cocking around and now suddenly an unknown guy who's gonna join us and play with us. A couple I thought who's love was like the clouds, day n night always in sight, yet ted and vera ended everything. And it makes me think that it does too often resolve itself into what you do.
Me and Rita were never meant to be together. I left her but I couldn't clear everything what I had for her. Sometimes the only wrong person is you, and you should accept it.
