~ Can't You Help Me As I'm Starting To Burn? ~

Part 11

"Alright Brian, why don't you try that again." I said in a nice voice. 

I was sitting next to Brian as he tried to nail a solo for a song the guys were working on.  

It was called 'Almost Easy' and Jimmy came up with the idea for the song.  

I still don't know how that guy comes up with this stuff. 

He is seriously talented. 

His mind works differently then everyone else's. 

And he's proven to be a reliable friend. 

Whenever I needed a friend he was there for me. 

He had also kept his word and didn't tell Matt about what happens to me at home. 

"Goddamn it! I can't get my fucking head in it." Brian yelled, spinning in his chair. 

"Come on, Brian. You almost had it. One more time." I said. 

He looked at me. 

"Alright fine." He said, adjusting his self. 

I laughed and played the music. 

Brian got it this time. 

"Woo! I told you!" I said with a smile. 

Brian grinned. 

He liked being praised for doing a good job.  

"Hey guys. Come listen and see if you like Brian's solo." I yelled to the rest of the guys. 

They gathered around all of us and they listened, smiles appearing on their faces. 

"Kick ass or what?" Brian asked with a smirk. 

"Kick ass! Nice job Syn!" Matt yelled, clapping Brian on the back. 

Brian hugged me. 

"Thanks Bella." Brian whispered. 

I nodded, smiling at him. 

"I told you you could do it." I said. 

"Sorry it took me so long." Brian said, looking down. 

"Its okay, Bri. Doesn't matter how long it takes you, as long as you get it." I said gently. 

"Me and Michelle got in a fight last night." Brian said quietly. 

I sat quietly, just looking at him. 

"Are you okay? Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked. 

He nodded slightly. 

"Okay. Why don't we go and pick up food for everyone." I suggested. 

"Alright." He said, standing up. 

"Guys. What do you want to eat? Me and Brian are picking it up!" I yelled. 

The guys came running, their feet pounding on the ground. 

They all yelled their orders, me rushing to write it down. 

Thankfully they all wanted food from down the street so we could walk. 

Jimmy ran up to me and picked me up gently. 

"Do I get to come?" Jimmy asked excitedly.  

"Uh, next time Jimbo." I promised. 

His face fell for a second and then he grinned. 

"Okay." He said, running off. 

"You guys make sure you're not slacking off while I'm gone." I said. 

"Yes Bella." They all said together.  

I laughed and me and Brian walked out together. 

Me and Brian walked in silence to the Mexican restaurant down the street from the studio. 

After we ordered, Brian led me over to a table in the corner. 

"So, what is it that you and Michelle fought about?" I asked. 

Brian looked down. 

"She was complaining that we don't spend enough time together." He said. 

"Well, if you're not spending enough time together, why don't you change that?" I asked. 

"Well, you see I would, but, um, I kinda said that she should stop being a whiny bitch." Brian said, looking down. 

"Brian, you didn't." I said, my head shaking. 

"Yeah, I did. I'm a dipshit I know." Brian grumbled. 

"Have you apologized?" I asked. 

"You see, that was my next plan, but Michelle kinda shuts me out when she's mad at me." Brian said. 

"So how are you going to fix this?" I asked. 

"Well, I was thinking, since you're a girl, that you might be able to help me." Brian said. 

I looked at him. 

"So you're gonna use me cause I'm a girl?" I asked. 

"Yeah." Brian said. 

"Alright. Gotta use what you got I guess. I'll help you." I said. 

Brian grinned and hugged me tightly. 

"You are the best Bella! Anything you need, I'm here for you." Brian said. 

I smiled, glad that I have another man in my life, that I could completely trust.
