"Do you see those two girls looking at me from across the bar?"Johnny asks the others crowded around him,"the ones with the big blue eyes, I think they're sisters or something...ooo maybe twins,"
"Ya they probably think your David Bowie," Ava says with a laugh.
"Or David Bowies dad,"micki says which earns her a look from Johnny.
"I'm going over to talk to them,"he says trying to walk over after explaining how many pills he had snorted.

Izzy
"Izzy,look he's walking over," my sister says with a grin. I nod and smile back but honestly I'm nervous about meeting Johnny Rock, not because he's somewhat famous but because he's our father. Mom use to sing with him and then left when she found out she was pregnant with us, she didn't want him to influence us, which if what everyone says about him is true was probably a good idea. I'd rather be home in Ohio but my sister wants to be a famous singer so here we are in New York. My sister does sound amazing when she sings but I don't think work with Johnny will be good for her.
"Hi there,"I hear someone say and when I look up its him, he's looking right at me but luckily Gigi steps in front and starts going through the speech she's worked on. He tries to kiss her and she pushes him to the ground and kicks him in the balls.
"There's your proof,"she yells throwing some pictures and forms at him before grabbing my hand and walking out. We get in a cab and she starts crying before we can tell him where we are going. I hug her and wait for her to spit out the name of the hotel we are staying in before I lean my head back on the worn out seat. I should be upset just like she is but I can't bring myself to care, not about a man I don't even know. I do care for my sister and it worries me that's she's so invested in making it big with this lowlife.
The next day we find him again and he says something about not having money to give us which makes me smile and Gigi laugh. If he only knew how rich we were.
"We don't want your money,"Gigi laughs,"when we came here our mom gave us 200,000,"
This get him and his two girls to walk over in a hurry. I zone out as my sister explains the plan and only hear the last of it when he says he will meet up with flash.
"So your my kids huh,"Johnny says with a smile,"so like can we talk?"
I shake my head no but Gigi pulls me along anyway.
"So Gigi and Izzy,"he says,"this is my I'm sorry I didn't know about you and wasn't there but am supper sorry speech."
I roll my eyes and Gigi explains we don't care about that and aren't looking for a dad, she just wants to get famous.
"Well Gigi wants to be famous and can sing I suppose you'll sing with her?"he asks looking at me.
I smirk and shake my head.
"Man is she really so shy she won't talk?"
"No,"Gigi says,"she's mute...she can't speak, hasn't made a sound since we were born."
"Oh shit I'm sorry I didn't...shit," he gets out, the look on his face actually makes me think he really does feel bad.
"We always joke that that's why I can sing so well, that she gave me her voice so I could follow my dreams,"Gigi says. I nod and shuffle my feet I'm ready to go this is boring for me.
"How does she like tell people what she wants,"
This pisses me off and sends me into a signing fit.
"Whoa slowdown Iz,"Gigi says trying to follow what I'm throwing out,"ya okay I know...sure I'll meet you there,"
I storm off and leave them to talk about whatever they want. I can't stand when people assume I'm stupid just because I can't speak, I got top marks in all my classes and where Gigi didn't bother with college I was going and I'm now taking classes online.

Gigi
"I'm sorry I really didn't mean to upset her,"dad says looking to me.
"Don't worry about it she just hates when people talk to me about her like she can't think for herself and when people assume she's stupid." I say with a shrug. I feel bad she took off and I hate not having her with me but I need to work this deal out and honestly I want to know our dad and she doesn't. It's he first thing we haven't agreed on in our lives.
"So if you don't want to keep pissing her off you should learn sign language so you'll know what she's saying,"I say crossing my arms.
"Ya, I'll try,"he says rubbing the back of his head. I can tell he's not going to but Ava steps up and punches his arm.
"You'll learn!"she says and he nods.
"Well I'll leave you to it, I've rented a recording space and I'll meet you there with the band and flash. Show him that picture if you have to,"

Izzy
Standing outside the door of the studio we can hear the guys talking about us and Johnny saying they can't refer to our bodies in anyway. I let Gigi know pooch sounds hilarious and she agrees before opening the door.
"We like pooch it sounds so soft and fluffy but umm neither one of us is really up for grabs, but knowing myself as well as I do I'll probably sleep with flash because he's not bald, or a bass player so ya and Izzy here she isn't all that into sleeping with anybody,"Gigi says as we enter the room.
I smirk, I'm not into sleeping with the guys my sister try's to hook me up with but that doesn't mean I'm not into sleeping with people.
I stand off to the side closer to Johnny then I'd like to be but the rooms pretty small.
"Animal in e,"Gigi says and everyone starts to play.
I watch flashes fingers move along the cords and instantly I know I could play the song, I played guitar in school but never in public. My sister hasn't even heard me play it's sort of the one thing I keep to myself but maybe one day I'll play with my sister as she sings, but that day is not today, let her have the glory all to herself.
I hear Johnny mumble,"oh shit," and smile, he must have thought she was going to suck. I glacé around the room and realize everyone seems to be in a state of shock.
"I'm an animal,"Gigi belts out and it's then that everyone smiles and I can see the look in my sisters eyes, she knows she's going to make it big. This bothers me more then it ever has before, I'm use to being the silent shadow that always falls behind her but today as I watch and listen I realize I might just want to be part of it.
