Ash's POV
After yesterday's confession,we spent the day by watching our special 'Tragedy marathon' which contained handpicked movies to match our gloomy mood.At the end of Titanic,when Jack dies,we were literally drying our eye sockets which were clogged due to over tear building.
After another film,our apartment was littered with tissue paper rolls,tissues,Cheerios, dorritos,and a bunch of hormonal guys who were sound asleep.
Note:The above was described by Miette when she was back with Serena as she tripped over a root bear can.

As it was too late,they decided to call it off at ours.

And then,here I am,sighing at all the groggy complaints by these dorks.While I was spreading the peanut butter on my toast,I felt a chair sliding besides mine as Serena takes a seat besides me and lightly smiles.

"One for you?" I asked, a smile evident on my features as I was glad that she provided me some company.
She nodded and started pouring juice for us both in two glasses.

"Uhmm...so..how was your day with Miette yesterday?"
I asked trying to bring up a conversation only to facepalm realising that she cannot hear.She looks at my sudden gesture and giggles.Her soft giggles soon turn into mellow laughs and I find my lips slowly twitching into a smile.
I sober up when I see an unknown number ringing on my phone.

"Just a sec.."I murmur to her as I pick the phone.
I was soon greeted by a hoarse and grim voice which sent shivers down to my spine.

"Hello,I hope I'm speaking to the Ash Ketchum from Twisted Destinies!"A voice blares as I fought back the urge to curse that annoying man on the phone.

"Yeah yeah..who are you by the way?"I asked,sounding obviously annoyed.I can basically know his character at the beginning of the phone call.

"Pfft..Well,young man,the police has found a photograph of a blonde who at present is at your house in that dead woman's purse,whose name is supposedly Rosa.Just to inform you so as to help you to prepare for the next lecture,your band manager is going to give...I hope you have a hard time Ash.."
*beep beep*

Every drop of saliva in my mouth dried up as I gulped,thinking of something that will..well I don't even know the outcome of my plan...I am clueless about my next step.

Serena gently rubbed my shoulder,and a lump forms in my throat,as I remember,that I've been hiding the death of her most loved person,and she herself is trying to relieve me,obliviously.

The phone rings again.My breath hitches in my throat as I anxiously pick the phone.

"Ash..it's Meyer here.Shoo that Goldilocks out of your house and life this instant and tweet something that indirectly proves that you're single,got it?"

"What?No!Wouldn't that be rude!"

"Well,its your reputation at stake!"He huffed.

"Nah. I'm not going to tell her to just get lost!She's mute Meyer!She's effing mute!What if something happens to her?!Would you put the blame on yourself?"

"Well she's an individual. And yeah,since you are so uncomfortable talking to her,I'll personally come and tell her alright?"

"But Meyer..she's..."

"No buts Ash,this is for you and your band.Talk to you later.."
*beep beep*
I groaned in frustration as the line went off.
He's gonna come. He'll come. Oh. My. God.
"Hey guys...don't you'll think we should start recording.I mean,we only have 4 months left for the album release!"Calem stated,and momentarily, Cameron's eyes popped out of their sockets.

"Say what!?"

"I know right!We've just written the songs.And we didn't even show it to Meyer."Alain rolled his eyes.

"We should pay a visit to the recording studio!"I blurted out.Five pairs of eyes turned towards me at instant.Well,in total six,as Serena directed her stare at me after realising that I said something that caught everyone's attention.

"Uhm...yeah..but why the sudden adrenaline rush?"Alain looked at me suspiciously.

"You are over thinking stuff.I do care about our band.So yeah...And by the way,we've got to go there as soon as we can,y'know....to put forth a good impression in front of the recording people..."I chuckled dryly at the confused morons staring at me.Except Serena.

I quickly gulped the orange juice Serena poured for me,and I skipped towards my room for a shower.
I've got to make this fast....
The hot water drizzled on my forehead as I kept wondering about the negativity rising up inside my chest.Something's surely bad...
