About three hours later, Scrim knocked on my door. I checked the time on my phone, it was 6:45pm.

I got up opening the door, he smiled "Hey, we gonna be leaving at seven. You riding or nah?" He asked and I nodded

"Of course I'm going" I say and he nodded, "I'll be back in 20 or so" he says and I nod.

I closed the door once he walked away, I looked at myself in the mirror, my hair looked fine, I shrugged putting on some dark blue jeans and a graphic tee with Tupac on it.

I sighed, grabbing my cross body bag and putting my phone in it. I sat down on my bed putting on my black forces.

I sighed, cleaning my clothes up and putting them up. Soon, I got up answering the door. It was Ruby "You ready?" He asked me and I nodded.

I followed him and Scrim out to Scrims car, soon we were driving through Florida. "Ruby you got the directions?" He asked "No.. I thought you had got em" Ruby said and Scrim groaned tapping the steering wheel.

I chuckled, "Y'all are slow.." I said "Hush little girl" Scrim said and I chuckled along with Ruby.

"here I got em" Ruby said handing me his phone, the directions told Scrim where to go. Soon we were outside a studio, there were cars outside and I could feel my heart start to race slightly..

"you'll be ight ma" Ruby said and I sighed, soon we all got out the car Going inside. There was music playing and a group of people chilling, Soon someone walked over to Scrim and Ruby "Ayy, Your Scrim right?" The guy asked and Scrim nodded, my eyes went over to Ruby, he pulled his hat down on his head and his hood up..

"I'm nick, your looking for Pouya?" He asked and Scrim nodded, my hand reached out for Ruby and he sighed taking my hand. I feel for Ruby, he hates meeting new people but if it comes to music he'll do it..

Nick nodded "Follow me"he said walking off, Scrim followed behind him turning to look at us. I held onto Ruby's hand as we walked behind Scrim, Soon. Nick walked through a door and there was a younger looking guy. He was sitting down at the booth.

Nick walked over and tapped his shoulder, he pulled the headphones off his head and looked up at Nick then over at the boys.

"Oh shit, I forgot"Pouya said he sounded young, real fucking young, he got up from his chair walking over to Scrim shaking his hand "Ay man nice to meet you Scrim" he sais shaking Ruby's hand as well.

I had let go of Ruby's hand when we got in the room, To kind of force him out his comfort but. Well, he needed it.

I saw Pouya scan over me, and hold his hand out to shake my hand. I smiled softly shaking his hand "What's your name?" He asked politely "Angel" I said, and he smiled softly

"how old are you?" I asked him "I'm 20" he said and my eyes went wide, "Mane.. your young" I say and he nods "How old are you?" He asks "I'm 25"I said and he nods.

Soon, the boys were working on some music and stuff. I was sitting on the couch pushed against the wall across from the desk with the monitors and mics.

"how's South side suicide sound?" I heard Ruby speak up for the first time in almost an hour. It takes him awhile to get comfortable, but I guess with Scrim and me there. It wasn't hard, "That shit sounds Tight, I fuck with it" Pouya said and Scrim nods

I was on my phone, just scrolling through Instagram. Soon I took a picture of all the boys, smiling softly cause Ruby turned and looked at me

I tried to stifle my laugh, "You taking pictures?" Ruby asked and I shook my head no, chuckling softly. Soon Scrim and Pouya turned and looked at me and I got quiet, "Ay don't worry about me, yall do your job.." i say softly and they chuckled.

Soon, Nick came in the room and sat down beside me. He seemed like a nice cool dude, "I never caught your name" he said, I smiled "It's Angel" i say with a soft smile "Your tats are dope"he told me, i smiled "i only have a few" i say and he nods

Me and Nick talked while the boys worked on their music, "How do you know the boys?" Nick asked "I grew up with them basically, we met in middle school.. and well Ruby and Scrim are a package deal basically.. wherever Scrim is, Ruby isn't to fair behind" I told him.

After awhile, Scrim got up indicating we were gonna head out. He should pouyas hand, "Nice to meet you man, we gone head out we catch you later"He said and Pouya nodded at what he said.

Soon, we all left the studio driving back to the hotel. I sat down on my bed in the hotel, Scrim and Ruby were there as well.

"I need a blunt" I said softly, Scrim and Ruby both turned to look at me. "I thought you weren't gonna do that shit no more?" Ruby asked

"I wasn't, I mean I tried" I say and Scrim mugged me, "What you mean tried kid..?" He asked and I sighed "I had got on some pills before we left, but I'm trying" I told Scrim and he nodded, I could feel Ruby staring at me. I didn't wanna see the look on his face, I had been sober for three months.

"well.. were proud of you anyways" Ruby said and I sighed, "So whats the word with Pouya?" I asked, "He's a pretty chill dude, he's got a good voice" Scrim said

"You gay? You sound like you gotta crush" I said and they all chuckled, "He's way younger then i expected" Ruby said and we all nodded..

"So about that blunt?" I asked, "Yeah yea" Ruby said getting a blunt out his pocket and lighting it up, we passed it around taking puffs.

"I'm proud of y'all"
