CC and I walk around the grocery store because aside from beer, we live off of food. CC pushes the cart as I drop food into it. Also, putting up rockstars is hard on our fridge.

"Are you going to join a band out here?" CC wonders.

"Maybe, eventually. If I am, I'm going to have to find a band I get along with. I don't want to have another Alex type thing." I admit.

"Yeah, maybe you can find a girl band and we can all hang out. I'd have girls on reserve." He laughs and I shake my head.

"In your dreams, CC." I smile.

"What's about rugby?" CC wonders.

"Soon, I think tryouts are the end of week." I recall.

"Called mom and dad recently?" My twin asks.

"Full of questions today, aren't we?" I laugh. "I haven't talked to them in a while. Ana and Robyn, yesterday."

Robyn is my six year old niece, she looks like the rest of us. Blonde haired, blue eyed, Brooklyn born and bred. For the record, there's four of us. My eldest brother George, Ana, CC, and me. We don't talk to George, Ana is five years older than us. Robyn and I are insanely close, I love her so much.

"Oh my god, you two make such a cute couple!" A random lady tells us.

"Oh no, we're twins." We say in unison, just proving our point further.

We get this a lot, I'm not sure why. We look a lot a like, we don't look like a couple. CC doesn't even look like a guy! He's wearing my jeans today! I mean, I steal his clothes to but let's be honest, most of his clothes are girl clothes.

It's Wednesday day, I have another three days to tell CC before Bobby tells him whatever sick story he's concocted. Rikki and I have decided to tell CC but ever time I go to do it, I can't find the words. I guess I feel like somehow I'm letting CC down, I fell for his best friend, I mean that's gotta be betrayal of some kind. I mean, I could tell him now, he wouldn't freak out in public.

"Hey, you wanna take these home? I gotta meet up with the boys." CC says once we get to check out.

"Yeah, just how are you going to get there? I mean we drove here together." I wonder.

"Okay, I mean drop me off." He laughs.

"Yeah, I'll drop you off." I tell him.

CC

Bee drops me off at the studio and drives away in her Trans Am, just like the one from Smokey and the Bandit, of course she doesn't realize that. She doesn't watch movies. What a fucking loser, I'm aloud to say that nobody else.

I carry my guitar over my shoulder as I walk towards the studio. I get to the door and over hear a weird conversation.

"Have you talked to him yet?" Bobby's voice wonders. Who's him?

"No." Rikki's answers. Who does Rikki need to talk to?

"Has Bianca talked to him?" Bret wonders.

"No." Rikki answers again. Rikki and Bianca have mutual friends other than us three?

"Remember, three days. Or I'm telling him." Bobby reminds him. "I think I'll tell him at you screwed her in the bathroom." Bobby laughs.

"I don't think CC will take that well." Bret admits. "Better get a talkin'." Bret laughs.

Why would I care about who he was screwing? Unless? No way, he can't be screwing Bianca can he? It'd make sense why she comes in really late, early as she calls it. Bianca and Rikki? I mean I could see it, they're quite a bit alike. They're both funny, they both have hearts of pure gold, they're nearly perfect for each other. I don't think he'd hurt Bianca. I love them all but I'd rather Rikki date her than Bret.
