I kissed the scars on her skin

Chapter 17

We started practicing the very next day. And of course we did Pierce The Veil covers.

They were right Ginger definitely could scream. Maybe even better than Vic. And that goes far when I say that. Mostly because I've heard Vic scream live plenty of times to know.

But she was good . Everyone praised me for my guitar skills which I praised Tony for. He's the one who taught me.

I wonder if he's still angry at me. Heck I wonder where they are right now. Are they thinking of me? Or are they thinking about their tour which is more important?

But I have a feeling that they're thinking of me just as I am thinking of them right now.

Right now I am practice again and guess what we're performing in the lobby in a few days. That's why we are practicing so much.

We aren't just doing PTV covers though. We were also doing SWS , MCR , FOB , ATL , BMTH , and P!ATD too. Maybe some more bands too.

So we really needed to practice. I knew all the songs we were covering but that didn't mean I couldn't practice. I can always improve.

We were doing covers mostly because we didn't have any of our own music. As we practiced more I grew to enjoy being with the girls.

They were fun to be around and were always there to comfort me. I knew I could trust them and count on them.

I wonder if my brother heard us making music what he would say. Would he be surprised? Would be proud of the little musician I have become?

I couldn't be sure. Sure he would be surprised but would he approve of my new life. Would except that maybe with these girls I was happy.

I admit I had been happier than I had been with these girls. They make me laugh and smile. And not stupid little smirks but full on Cheshire grins.

I was walking down to the lobby for breakfast with them and I was smiling. When I got to the buffet I saw the girls in our usual spot.

I skipped over and sit next to Ginger. I was the closest with her out of all of them. But I was pretty close to Emily too.

" Good morning." I say

" How'd you sleep?" Ginger asks

" Pretty good. You?" I ask

" Pretty good." Ginger says

" I'm nervous for the show." Emily says

" I know but we've got this. If we just practice we'll do great. " Ginger says

" Ginger's right." Zara says

" Zar when am I ever wrong?" Ginger asks

" Never." Zara says

I sat there thinking of my brother and Jaime. Where are they and how was the tour going? Was it better now that I was gone?

I couldn't stand the thought of my brother having fun without me. Even my friends. And Jaime of course.

For the last few weeks he was the only thing on my mind. I didn't want to think of what would be happened if I had stayed but if I had I would've never met the girls.

Vic was still my best friend of course but I had gotten closer with these girls who are now my band mates.

Suddenly there's a hand on my shoulder. I look up and see Emily staring intently at me.

" Your brother would be proud of you." Emily says

" I hope so." I say

" You're an amazing guitarist. You've got skills." Ginger says
