I awoke and dragged myself out of the comfy bed . Danene was pounding on the door for me to wake up.

I jerked the door open .

"What!"

"You need to get ready we need to go to the studio with The Relapse Symphony today and we are having a photo shoot so dress awesome or slutty either way."

"Okay now get out." I slammed the door and went to my bag.

My eyes filled when I saw I accidentally grabbed one of Bret's shirts. I laid my back against the wall. I tried to pull myself together.

I felt so useless. l thought about what Danene had said. Damnit! I had to see Bret today. Well I guess I will dress good and try to impress others as always.

I looked through my bag again and pulled out tight leabther pants and a top that had a sleeve that belonged half way down my arm and it was shredded with holes.

I was looking for a jacket of some sort to complete the outfit. I had thrown the jacket Bret gave me on his bed before I left so I got my little leather jacket.

I did my eyes all smokey looking and did my hair in its rock formation. I sprayed and straightened my blue hair and jogged downstairs.

I saw Austin zipping his bass up and I Danene twirling her drum sticks. Tyler was putting on his jacket and dusting it off.

We piled in Tyler's truck. in case you are wondering my work at the music shop the owner went on vacation and wanted to close until she returned. I had to sit in the back of the pick up truck.

Tyler picked up Mixi and Night who sat with me in the back. We also picked up Brandon and JC.

Bret and Alex would drive to the studio. Thank god.

We talked a bit about the demo and we wanted it to sound edgy with screams here and there. We got there and I jumped over the tail gate and landed on the hot concrete on my feet.

I then saw a black camaro pull up . I rolled my eyes and watched Mixi and Night and Brandon an JC attempt to do what I just did. Brandon almost tripped though .

I giggled a little an Alex pulled up. I looked over and Bret was leaning against his car just looking at me. I flipped him off and walked into the air conditioned studio.

I fixed my hair back into place and went into the booth. Danene and Bret and Austin and Mix I came in and sat in the chairs. I shuffled through the papers and found the lyrics.

Its called......

Bring me back.

Bret looked away and I gave him my chronic bitch face. I put on the head phones and adjusted the mic. Danene and Bret gave me a thumbs up and I started to sing Bring me back.

I have suffered through day and night.

Building my walls everyday.

Spent life trying to please.

Bring me back oh...

just bring me back..

show me the light I miss so much.

(I wrote these lyrics don't steal and that's all I'll put.)

I finished the singing and now its time to let out some epic screams for the background. They gave me a thumbs up and I started to scream let me out which was a lyric in the chorus.

"Let me out!" I looked and saw Bret staring at me. I shook it off and let out another scream like Andy did in the beginning of Perfect Weapon.

When I was done I could barely speak . I went to go to the kitchen and Bret was standing there.

I started to back out but he saw me.

"Here I got you some coffee it should help your throat." I nodded and took a drink.

"Thanks." I walked out to see if Night and Mixi were working on the guitar solo yet.

I heard Mixi shredding from down the hallway and it sounded excellent. I looked at Tyler and he had the same look on his face when he first met Danene.

Oh god love is in the air apparently.

A guy came in to help us put it all together. Then it was Austins turn.

He grabbed his bass that looked liked smashed glass. He fixed the tuning first and then started to play. It sounded so dang awesome. I continued to drink my coffee.

Finally it was Danenes turn. She twirled her drum sticks and secured her ear muffs and twirled the sticks again and began beating the drums to create the most beautiful beats I've ever heard.

Bret came back and he was still checking me out. I tried to focus myself on mixing and everything else to help the track guy and lead him to the sound me and the band wanted.

Danene finished and the photography guys were here finally. The first one was of me and my band posing similar to bvb in fallen angels music video and that was supposed to be the cover of our single but edited to look darkish.

Then The Relapse Symphony posed and everything. Then they wanted a picture if the two singers with arms around each other.

I pulled on a blank face an went over to Bret and put my arm around him and smiled towards the camera Bret held my waist gently knowing my ribs were still sore.

The camera flashed and I automatically pulled away. This wasn't helping!

Then they wanted Brandon and Austin to pose with their instruments. Then it was Tyler and Danene and then Mixi and Alex and Night and JC.

After a few more things they all had us in a interview but not together .

"So Allison I understand you come from a bad childhood."

"Yeah well it was 13 an up and it was when my mom died that the sick bastard started to beat me and get drunk 24/7."

"You also got recently beaten right?"

"Yes I got out and escaped then was hit by a car and lived and had 5 broken ribs a fractured skull and a slight crack in my right hip."

"So what's music to you?"

"Ha well its my lifeline really I have tried to commit suicide and always got saved somehow. But music helped me to try and stop the cutting and everything."

"What made you realize you wanted to become a rock star."

"Well we aren't exactly famous yet but I had always wrote lyrics and poems since I was little of what I was feeling and then Bret from the relapse symphony caught me writing some an made me sing a song and helped me form Broken bones and hearts."

We finished up soon and everyone else was still being interviewed. I went back to the studio we were in and the guy was just finishing up.

Bret came in and it became really awkward and then finally Mixi came in.

Please let me get through today please!
