Shattered

ChapterOne: SomethingAbout HIM

Ashley's P.O.V

Where are these fucks? I was growing tired and extremely bored from waiting for them, but it was typical of them to be late.

I laid on my couch, drinking a small bottle of liquor while I watched another episode of Family Guy. I wasn't even in the mood to play today, but I'd have to. To prove my laziness, the most I wore today was a pair of sleep pants, an undershirt, and some fuzzy socks I got from Cc last Christmas. I took the last gulp of the beer and went to toss it into the trash, hearing a knock on the door whilst I went to the kitchen. They knocked harder and harder until I yelled, "I'm coming I'm coming damn" I unlocked the many latches on my door and without even a greeting, Jake and CC walked in.

"Well Hell- Fucking-Lo to you too" I said as they brushed past me into MY house.

"Oh hey Ash didn't even see you there" Jake said with a grin.

"Where's the foooood Ashley?" Cc whined, raiding my fridge. I walked in and closed the door. "In the store waiting for you to buy it" He laughed his usual overboard, weird laugh, punching me in the arm. "You're funny. Where are the other boys?" He asked, referring to Andy and Jinxx. I shrugged. "Late as usual"

We sat together in the Living Room and shared some beers, playing cards to pass the time until we heard a knock at the door again. Cc hopped from his seat. "I've got it" He went over to the door and opened it only a crack. "What's the password"

I heard some chuckles and suddenly he was smashed between the wall and door. "Let me in, right?" Jinxx chuckled and stepped in, Andy and some random guy following behind. Cc laughed and shut the door. "I was looking for Bacon Wraps, but that works too"

I chuckled. "Hey guys, took y'all long enough"

Andy smiled. "You aren't ready anyway" I looked down, remembering my attire. "I just woke up" Jinxx scoffed. "Yeah right." I looked down to Andy's hand, which was in the grip of the other guys hand, who was texting with one hand on his iPhone. "So... Andy, whose your friend?" He looked to him, then me. "Oh yeah! Guys, this is Michael. Michael, this Is Cc, Jake, and Ashley, you always know Jinxx." He looked up and looked to all of us with a somewhat nervous smile. "Hello" Jake and Cc smiled, being naturally nice as usual. "Welcome to the gang" Cc said, giving him a handshake. "Thanks" Michael said with a chuckle. "Came to see us play Eh?" Jake asked. Michael simply nodded. "He doesn't think we're good" Andy said looking at him with a smile. "Well we'll have to preform then huh?" I said, standing up.

We all went into my basement, where all the equipment and instruments were. I'm sure you're assuming that my basement is probably dark and cold and the floor are probably concrete or something. But I assure you, its far from that.

My father helped me fix it up a couple years back when I told him I had a band. It looks pretty good I must say. There were two different parts of my basement, the front were there's furniture, and the back where the equipment and stuff were at. The front of the room had white walls which had a couple large posters of Iron Maiden, Kiss, and Guns and Roses. Then are beanbag chairs in front my plasma screen, which was only hooked up to my Xbox or PlayStation. A mini fridge where the beanbags were and a bar on the other side of the room, My dads idea.

We were more so always on this side. I know, unproductive. But hey. We loved to chill.

Then there was the room with all the equipment, or a smaller name would be, maybe the studio. There were bright lights above head, which could be dimmed if it got too annoying.

The mics were all lined up against the wall, in front a mirror. The walls were tiled on one side, stripes on the other, both black and white. My fathers idea. It might sound tacky, bit I assure you it isn't.

The drums sat on a rug in the middle of the room, amplifiers also propped up against the wall. The guitars are usually in a closet in their cases. But Andy insisted I leave them in the floor so they don't scratch up inside the case. Idiot I know. It was really nice, cost a lot of money, but its worth it.

We all stepped in and grabbed our equipment. "So babe, this is our Studio" Babe...? I thought he was a friend. Yeah, they were holding hands, but Andy's weird ass seriously holds hands with everyone. "Babe?" Jake said with a smile as he pulled his guitar out of his case. "Yeah, Michael's my boyfriend" Cc gasped. "Congrats Andy!!" I nodded. "Yeah... Congrats..."
