The Junes | Liam Gallagher ° OASIS

CHAPTER EIGHT: THE JUNES

Lara had placed a cherry, red electric bass guitar in Amara's arms before going back over to the wall and taking off a pink n' white one.

"That's me olden, but it's not really my colour." Lara told her. "'ave it if you want. Ain't gonna be usin' it anytime soon."

"Thanks, but I've got nowhere to put it. Plus I can't even play the guitar!" Amara smiled, sitting down with the guitar on her lap.

"You can keep it here then. I can teach ya' some simple tunes if you want, the basic stuff." Lara replied, strumming her guitar for a moment and soaking in the sound, "It's a beauty, innit?"

"I can't play any instruments, trust me." Amara snickered.

"Your voice counts as an instrument, so technically you can!" Molly butted in from her drum kit, raising her brows. "Just sayin'. You can sing girl."

Amara scoffed, but Lara agreed. "You're a good singer babe. I heard you singing along to the songs at the gig. You're even great when you're pissed! I'm jealous."

"Oh shut up!" Amara grinned, shaking her head. "I was in a choir, but it hardly counts."

"But you have talent." Lara stated, her lips curling upwards. "Oh my god, d'y'know what this means?"

Molly clocked onto what she was on about, "Don't say it."

Lara squealed, putting her hands together as if she was praying, which made Amara giggle. "My dream is comin' true! We could start a band."

"Really? The boys'll thing we're copyin' them." Amara pointed out, but Lara shrugged it off.

"Girls do it better anyway." Lara was practically jumping in her seat, she slapped her hands on Amara's shoulders. "Look at us. Three fit women, one guitarist, one drummer and a singer, who could cheekily play bass or whatever." She winked, nodding to the guitar on Amara's lap.

"How long have you been planning this?" Amara joked.

"Since June." Molly replied, standing up from her kit and walking over to them whilst messing with her sticks. "I haven't had a break since."

"If we do start a band we need a name first." Amara smiled at Lara, who was getting giddy. "Better than 'The Rain'."

Lara clasped her hands together, "Time to brainstorm!"

Molly was sat on the arm of the chair next to Lara, "This'll be a long day. Run while you still can." She said to Amara. Lara turned around and whacked her arm. Molly fell on the floor. "I'm okay!"

"The Junes!" Amara suggested, Lara pondered for a moment. It was better than the other ideas they had. Molly suspected that Lara liked it since she didn't even have to write it down as she chirped up with a smile again.

"Hm, it's...cool." Lara replied. "I've had the idea since June, so I like it! It has meanin'."

"Does it?" Molly genuinely asked, Lara snapped her head at her sister.

"It does- it does." Amara interrupted before Lara pushed Molly off the sofa for the fifth time. "Uhh my birthday is in June..."

"Oh yeah, June 20th! I remember!" Lara smiled and then looked up at her sister. "You like, dear sister of mine?"

"Um," Molly gulped. Her arm still hurt after her last impact with the floor, "I like June 'cause it's sunny." Amara held a straight face, trying not to laugh whilst they made eye contact.

Lara stood up with her guitar strapped to her body, "The Junes' it is then! We better get practicin'." She had an obvious mischievous glint in her eye.

Afterwards, Lara had been teaching Amara how to properly hold a guitar up to simple chords and now to tune it properly. Molly did her best to help too, as Guigsy was a bassist too and she was watching him at the gig not stop.
