"So you ripped the song?" Yaya asked, her hands covered with black mittens and torso warm under her navy blue coat. Her cheeks were red as apples along with her nose. Earlier today, I had to call a guy to fix the basement walls after last nights incident. I accidentally let my anger take over and punched some holes in the wall, but Ruby gave me a stern talking to and forced me to call the guy and pay. Even though I was going to anyway after I cooled down last night. Mia and Tess avoided me the whole morning which was a good idea for them to do. I've smoked my whole carton of cigarettes even though I only had two of them left in the box. That box lasted me the year of my tour, so it wasn't a big deal.

"Yea, I shouldn't have written it anyway.."

We walked down the cold sidewalks of the small town we lived in, we left our car a block down from where we were. Beanie placed neatly on my head and gloves wrapping my hands in warm embrace, Yaya's fingers fumbled on her thick scarf then she finally looked at me "Who was it about?" I kept my eyes in front of me, not daring to look at her. "Someone I met while I was on tour." Yaya looked down and asked another question "What's their name?" I opened the bakery's door for her and closed it behind us, walking up to the counter I ordered the usuals "Janis." Yaya paid, bless her. We sat at a small booth near the window after getting the hot chocolates and muffins we ordered, along with some macaroons. It had been a while since I've tried these so I was looking forward to eating them again. "What's she like?"

"Like a girl with a wonderful personality. Are we done?" Yaya bit her lip and nodded. "Look I'm sorry. I'm just pissed and I don't want to talk about it. So can we please drop the subject?" I forced a smile and held her mitten covered hand with my gloved one. She sighed and nodded, apologizing and we chatted and finished our little snack.

-

"Is that all?" I nodded at the cashier boy, he was pretty cute but considering the way I looked he probably realized I was a 'boy' too. He scanned the items and food, he placed them into the bags, Yaya had been setting the bags into the cart along with me until I looked at the cashier boy checking her out. Thankfully she didn't notice, I handed Yaya the keys and told her I'd be out in a bit, as she left the store I glared at the cashier boy but smiled "You want her number?" He blushed and looked at me, stuttering "R-really?" I nodded and he took out his phone to save it.

"Its 126-look at her again and I'll shove a knife down your urethra." I smiled again and left him a little tip "Have a nice day!" and with that I left. Once I made it to the car in the parking lot I helped Yaya put the rest of the bags away "Did you forget something?" I nodded and she closed the trunk heading to the passenger seat now, "What did you forget?"

"A tip."

"I need to pick up some music albums Hal and Tess ordered." I tensed up at her name, Yaya directed me towards the music store and we went in, I decided to look for something myself.

"Oh those are half off. Are you looking for anything specific?" I looked through the basket of rock music and nodded "Yea, you have any MCR?" the employee gasped and that's when I looked up, he had a tattoo on his forearm with a band name. My band name to be exact, "Oh my god you're Jaspar! Oh man what are you doing in New York?" He asked rather excitedly and I chuckled at him. It was always nice meeting fans.

"Where I live buddy." I smiled and he blushed bright red "Can I get a hug and picture?" I nodded and did his requests.

"Aww man this is crazy. You can get anything you want don't worry about the money." my eyebrows scrunched up in worry "It's really no problem if I pay." He insisted I could take anything for free so I did, a bit guilty for getting it for free though. So I thought of something. "How about this, I sign some albums of my band and you can sell them. I'll sign one for you. Since you won't let me pay for these." His bright eyes shimmered and he agreed, taking out copies of our bands albums to sign.

We chatted and then it was time to go search for Yaya, looking through the small store I found her chatting with another employee. Another boy, I noticed how he eyed her and finally I came in, wrapping my arm around her waist. "Can I help you?" he backed up, good he feels threatened I thought and pulled Yaya closer to me. "Sorry, she's yours?"

"Well clearly she isn't yours."

I narrowed my eyes and pulled Yaya away, we confirmed our order of albums before walking out the door from the cluttered music store. I stopped and looked back "Fuck off you shit." The employee I spoke with, who went by the name of Emerson laughed loudly at his friend. I grinned. I forgot about my arm wrapped around her waist, but she wasn't pushing it away so I figured it was okay to leave it there until we arrived to the car.

"Anything else we need?" I asked letting her go finally, setting the albums down into the back seat and entering the drivers seat. As the curly haired girl sat in her spot she shook her head and finally we headed home.

Ruby was the first to greet us, helping with some bags which was amazing of her to do. Tess and Hal were in the kitchen when I entered to put some groceries down "Can you put the food away? After all you can sneak up on me so you can do this." I snapped and walked away to retrieve more bags. Of course I regretted saying that as it left my lips but honestly I was angry with the whole situation. It was only directed to Tess of course, Hal didn't have anything to do with the situation.

"So someones been getting jealous today I see." Ruby passed by me as I went to help Yaya, what exactly did that mean?

"Life is so annoying."

"Tell me about it, its just the music albums left so lock it up." I nodded and retrieved the last bag. Locking the car and heading back inside setting them down gently on the couch for Tess and Hal, tapping Ruby's shoulder I asked her if we could talk. "Is this about the boy who flirted with your girlfriend?" she grinned and I narrowed my eyes at her "If you keep doing that imma tell Lina you like her." our motherly friend blushed and waved her hands in a surrender "Fine, fine. What's up?" I looked around to see Yaya helping Tess in the kitchen. "Walk with me to hell."

"What?!" I laughed and took her down to my studio.

"Jeez Jaspar, you could've given some mercy to these walls." Ruby said finally witnessing the damage "Don't worry I called the guy. He's gonna come by on Wednesday." Ruby looked at her phone "It's Monday." She mumbled and looked at me, taking glances at the scattered papers on the desk and the various guitars I had. "What did she say exactly?" I interrupted her examining of my stuff, she perked up at me. Glancing at me for a while until finally realizing what I asked "oh yea right, she thinks it was weird. That's all, but I think otherwise." My dark circled eyes looked up at her, unfazed at all. "That is?" If I didn't ask she wouldn't say at all.

"You like her~"

I scoffed and took off my jacket off along with my gloves and beanie. "No I don't." Ruby pouted and leaned against the wall "Well I know you like someone here." I sat down on the piano bench, letting my head fall between my hands "No I don't. Why is everyone so focused on my love life?"

"Because thats the point of this story.."

"What?" I asked not catching what she said, she pulled on her hair and giggled shaking her head. So I brushed it off, "By the way, did you get a role yet?" Ruby was in actress in plays, she was trying to make it to Broadway this time, wanting to sing and dance. "They said they'd get back to me." I smiled, that was good. Ruby was good and for her to get told that meant she had a high chance of getting a role. Right?

"Is it Bronwyn?"

I looked up at her "Ruby I don't like anyone."

"Fine, fine."

"Alice?"

I sighed.
