"It's the number again"
"Show me"
A few years ago, after Vance had broken up with this absolute nut job he and Jude were being sent death threats. When he got with Ody (very recently after the break up), he got the threats too. It occasionally happened across the years, to different girlfriends and boyfriends of Vance, only if he seemed to like them enough.
"The bitch, why again? " Vance muttered
"He could just want to talk, that's what happened last time" Jude suggested
She remember last time, it was just a year ago, Vance was with Vienna at the time and Vance went to the house to get it to stop. It ended in an argument and Vance becoming a bit more distant.
"No, he always does this when I get a new date that i really like"
"but you're not dating anyone right now?"
"exactly, he probably just wants attention, so we just ignore it"
"Has that worked in the past though? I say you go to his house and knock some sense into him"
"Im not going over there to cause trouble, we should just leave it"
"He deserves it!"
"Im not continueing this conversation, get in the car you have rehearsal"
Jude got into the car and crossed her arms, she looked like a 5 year old you that was just told they couldn't have ice cream. The drive to the studio was quick and quiet, a sense of unease in the air.
Jude stormed out of the car and Vance followed behind her, not saying anything snarky for once. Most people were there and they played around with their instruments for a few minutes, waiting for a few stragglers
"Okay guysx since everyone is here now I've got some new" Jude spoke with no energy in her voice
"Why is she in a mood? ' Julius whispered to TJ, the two sitting close together
" I don't know, maybe she's on drug" TJ shrugged
Max slapped their arms to get them to stop whispering. Her eyes said 'ugh stupid oblivious lovers'
Nat looked plain excited, and kinda beat up. No one had seen her since the gig and she looked like she had survived a week in the wild with cats.
Adri looked bored, she had been reading a book, but perked up when she heard there was some need to be said.
Wes was worried for his friend, but was always a little quieter than usual, he had a sense of unease around him too.
"So we have a sponsor or something, he's heard us play and wants to pay for us too do gigs and such" Jude said, clapping her hands together
Some people looked shocked, while others (Nat) looked like they were about to combust.
"REALLY? HE WANTS TO SPONSER US. HOLY CRAP? " Nat yelled, kicking her feeting and laughing
"Slow your roll cheerleader. What's the catch? " Max looked at Jude with her eyebrow raised.
Nothing came easy with no consequences or no payment.
"I was just getting to that, so before we get the contract or what ever. We have to play at a gig for him, to see if we're worth it I guess? Plus I'm getting a lawyer to read the contract so we're not selling our souls or anything" Jude smiled, as a few chuckles formed in the room.
