Three Girls From The Valley

You've Been Lying

Now that they have decided to try and compose their own songs, Este, Danielle and Alana spend any free time they have together jamming, they muck around with different sounds and beats and start coming up with little melodies. Danielle since she has graduated high school has the most free time. She scored a few days work playing studio guitar on some tracks for a new singing Artist and the music producer was impressed with her playing. He promised he would ring her when he had some more work, but for now she is a lady of leisure, which means she gets to sleep in. 

'WAIT MOM I HAVEN"T DONE MY HAIR." Alana screams running down the hallway,

"Alana Mychal Haim what have you been doing for the last forty minutes?" Donna Haim asks her daughter,

"Nothing, just a stupid book report that's due today." Alana replies,

Danielle groans and places her pillow over her head, so much for a sleep in she thinks to herself,

'LANS IF YOU WANT A LIFT TO SCHOOL THEN YOUR UGLY BUTT BETTER BE SITTING IN MY CAR IN FIVE MINUTES OTHERWISE YOU'RE WALKING." Este yells slamming the front door,

"D you awake?" Alana asks barging into Danielle's room, 

"No." Danielle groans,

"Can I borrow your denim jacket?" Alana asks picking the jacket up off the chair,

Danielle giving an exasperated sigh rolls over and throws her pillow at Alana,

"Can't you see I'm sleeping?" She moans,

"Alana, Este has started her car you better hurry or she'll leave without you," Donna says standing at Danielle's doorway,

"Thanks D,  love ya." Alana says before rushing to the front door, "ESTE WAAAAIIIIIT, I'M COMING."

Danielle rolls back over as her Mom picks her pillow up off the floor and puts it on her bed,

"Since you are awake Danielle could you please clean the kitchen and put the laundry on for your tired old mother?" Donna asks her,

Danielle presses her face against her mattress and groans loudly,

"Thank you sweetheart, I love you, see you tonight." Donna says.

Danielle lies still and tries to fall back to sleep now that the house has become quiet again, but after several minutes she realises she is wide awake, sleep having eluded her. She rolls over onto her back and after a long stretch she climbs out of bed to go take a long hot shower.

As she stands under the hot water she lets her mind wonder and after awhile starts humming a melody, after her shower she heads straight into the lounge room and picks up her guitar, and starts figuring out the melody, once she has got it sounding the way she likes she turns on her computer and opens up garage band, she concentrates on working on extra sounds and melodies as well as coming up with a couple of guitar solos.

****************

The front door slamming brings Danielle out of her music trance,

"Go into the TV room Devon and I'll grab us some drinks," Danielle hears Alana say, she puts her guitar down and walks into the kitchen,

"Hey Lans what are you doing home?" Danielle asks her,

"Ah I live here." Alana laughs,

"No I mean shouldn't you still be at school?" Danielle says,

"No dude it's like almost four in the afternoon." Alana laughs,

"Four PM? Oh My God. Quick Lans help me clean up the kitchen before Mom gets home." A panicked Danielle says starting to load the dishwasher,
