Side by side

15

I'm walking into the studio with Tyler in my hand, I promised that he could come with me today as he has begged me for so long. I know that Nickle brings his son; James with him today so maybe him and Tyler can play.

I walk into the big studio to see if Marshall or the other guys is hanging out there. I know Marshall is here because his car is parked out front but I couldn't see Nickle's car. Marshall isn't there so I check at his office where he sits on the computer doing god knows what, because it's not very often that he sits with the computer. He sits there with his glasses on being very concentrated on whatever he's doing.

"Good morning." I say and he looks up at me and then his eyes falls to Tyler which makes him smile.

"Good morning." He says. Things between us are a lot better, it's not perfect but we get along just fine now. We can still have days where we are at each other's throat but that's mostly when we disagree about something.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"I'm trying to make an update on Facebook about bad meets evil's upcoming tour and release on the new album." He says.

"Why don't you let Emily handle that?" I ask.

"I wanna try myself." He says.

"Why use your time and energy when you just can have me or Emily do it?" I ask. I really don't understand because I know he loses his patient eventually because it irritates him too much.

"Because I wanna learn it." He says in an irritated tone now.

"Okay." I surrender and I'm about to walk out when he stops me.

"Will you show me?" He takes me by surprise.

"Yeah of course." I say. "But can we wait till Nickle and James come so Tyler won't be bored?"

"Sure man." He says. I just give him a smile and leave his office. I walk out to the common room and turn on the tv, so Tyler can watch some tv as I walk out to the kitchen and make some coffee.

Nickle and James are a little late but when they're finally here, James and Tyler get along very quickly. Tyler has a ability to get along with almost every kid, Kyle had the same ability to get along with most people unlike me. I have a very hard time opening up to people and I can easily come off arrogant which I'm not, I'm just not good at letting new people in. I try so hard to be more open like Kyle was to be the best role model to Tyler, I don't want him to have the same struggles as I have, I want him to be like Kyle.

When I see that Tyler and James are just fine then I walk into Marshall to help him as promised. He still sits in front of the computer and he looks irritated.

"Have you figured it out yet?" I ask him even though I know he hasn't. He looks at me with an irritated look as he knows that I know he hasn't. I begin to giggle as I walk over and sit down next to him.

"How the fuck can I be so bad at this fucking shit?" He mumbles.

"It's not your interest." I say.

"Wonder why." He says. "It's so fucking complicated man."

"And mixing a beat isn't?" I ask as I think it looks complicated.

"Not when you've worked with it everyday for the past 15 years." He shrugs.

"If you've been more interested in computers for just 10 years ago then you wouldn't have a problem." I tease him.

"Oh.. Looks who's smart today." He shakes his head.

"What do you want help with?" I ask him now.

"Posting pictures and new updates on my Twitter and Facebook. Links and that shit." He says.
