Troubled Souls

Apologizing Helps (Chp 2)

*pictures above are the band, the pictures ARE not mine, and WILL change.*

I found Sarrice sitting on a bench at the playground outside our neighborhood. She was listening to music and didn't see me walking up.
"Scar?"
She looked up at me and sighed.
"Come to yell at me for running off?"
"No I came to apologize actually." I said rubbing my neck.
She raised an eyebrow at me.
...
"Well?"
"Scar, I'm sorry that's not what I meant. I shouldn't have said that and I miss you."
She laughed dryly.
"I saw you 10 minutes ago dude."
"I know but I don't like knowing you are mad at me." I argued with her.
"I'm not, I'm upset because you where right." She said looking guilty.
"See I told the others th-. What I, What?"
"You where right. My Dad, he would have understood but I just sprung it on him, and my mom made him throw me out."
"Sarrice. You never told us that."
"Because my family hates me. My mom never cared even when she thought I was 'normal' I don't know how her and dad ever married he loves music and rock. But when I played in the house or anything, she just yelled. I haven't seen my brothers in 6 years Z. Six. Years."
She was crying now and I felt horrible never having realized what was happening.
"Oh Sarrice." I pulled her over to me and she cried in my shoulder. The thing about Sarrice is that she hardly ever cries. She doesn't readily show that side. But when she does, it hits you hard. Knowing this strong-willed person is hurting.
We sat like that until her sobs turned to hiccups.
She then sat up.
"Sarrice?"
"Hmm?"
"I need to talk to you and the others."
"Ok let's go then."
We began walking and soon enough we were almost there but Sarrice had another idea.
"Ooh wait lets get something to drink."
"Scar really?"
"Yes please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,"
"I-"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-" I cut her off by putting my hand over her mouth.
"Yes."
She started walking to the gas station close to us.
When we got inside we got our drinks and the others something as well. Sarrice got sidetracked by some fruit.
"Hey hey Zeke!"
"What Sarrice?"
"Doesn't this apple look appealing?
Hehehehehe. Get it. aPEALing?"
"Hahaha yes I get it lets go crazy pun child."
We soon left the store and were again on the way to our place.
"YO ZEKE!!!" I turned to look with Scar. And what we saw was amazing.
"DD!" Scar took off for our friend.
"Man when did you get back from your aunts?" I yelled excitedly.
"Flew in this morning." He was giving scar a huge hug.
He then gave me a bro hug and we walked down into the pit.
"What's up assholes!"
"DAMION!!! When did you get back man?"
"Got in from New York this morning."
"What's New York like compared to Florida?" Tany asked.
"Well for one it's bigger." He started laughing, we all did.
"Well duh." Matt said in that tone.
"It's amazing, but I want to know about you guys. How's the song coming?"
"Well actually..." Tany started off.
"WE FINISHED!!" Everyone yelled at once.
"What! No way I have to hear it soon."
"Yeah but not today man we are exhausted." Benji said.
"Fair enough but now let's skate." Scar yelled.
She hooks up the speakers and blares music.
We just skated and danced being little kids like always.
After a few hours we were all sitting down and just coming up with random beats.
"Ok so how about this."
I started snapping and humming.
"Oh I gotcha." Matt started clapping.
"Anything you say can and will be held against you so only say my name." I sang to the beat of My Songs
"Woah oh oh oh oh oh ohoh. Woah oh oh oh oh oh ohoh." Scar took over.
"Anything you say can and will be held against you so only say my name." I sang.
Tany suddenly changed the beat a bit.
"Here we go." Benji said and laughed.
Benji hits the floor harder with Scar.
"I hope for your name on a ouija board you're making magic. Oh! Dear lord."
I paused and let them change the beat around before singing.
"I don't know where I'm going but do you have room for one more troubled soul.".

"Hah cause I can move mountains I can work a miracle! Woah oh!" Sarrice continues
"I don't care what you think as long as it's about me." Tany takes over.
"Anything you say can and will be held against you! Anything you say can and will be held against you." I scream
"Oh No we won't go cause we don't know when to quit no more oh no we won't go cause we don't know when to quit!" Matt yells.
"So remember me for centuries, we'll go down in history, for centuries!" Scar sings.
"Because the mighty fall, the mighty fall in love." Damion yelled and we all began to laugh at the medley we created.
"NOT BAD! Add music it'll sound better!" A voice called into the pit.
We turn up and look to see two figures standing above us.
"Who's there?" Matt yelled out.
"One second we'll be down."
We all looked at each other.
"Z no one knows about this spot. Who are they?" Tany looked scared and so did the others.
"Guys we'll handle it c'mon Matt."
We stood and walked over to the men.
"My name is Ryan. This is my friend Zack. You guys have talent."
"Thanks but who are you? Why are you here this is our territory."
"Sorry we are from Fueled by Ramen. Looking for places to tour and newer acts and happened by you lot." The Zack guy stated.
"Fueled by Ramen?"
"Z that's the record label Panics! At and Fall Out Boy." Matt whispered the last part.
"Well what can we do for you?"
"Nothing right now. Soon as you make that medley official send it in with some other stuff. We give it to our boss he gives to his, blah blah blah you get signed to a record label. Not necessarily ours but we can help you out." Ryan offered and looked bored picking at his nails.
"Really? You want to sign us?"
"Maybe. You have talent put it to use."
He handed us a card and walked out with his friend.
"Well? What do we do?" Matt asked me.
"We talk to the others and make a demo to send in." He looked at me as if I had an extra head.
"So who was that?"
"Yeah what did they want?" Tany and Scar asked.
"They gave us a card and said send them a demo when we make it with the medley we just made to music and they would see about signing us."
"WHAT OH MY GOD WE HAVE AN OPTION TO BE SIGNED!!!" Benji yelled.
"Woah slow your roll Ben. With what company?" DD asked.
"Well maybe FUELED BY RAMEN!!"
"Oh!"
"My!"
"Gosh!!!"
My three bandmates finished the sentence together and started screaming.
"Well Matt does that answer your question." I stated and started laughing at the losers I call friends.
"Haha very much so." He grinned like an idiot and we joined our friends.
