CHAPTER THIRTY
"Love is an abyss."

"I just think you're making a mistake," Betty said to Marley. The two of them were sitting in the booth and Marley sighed before changing the subject.

"The amount of Banana milkshakes I've consumed can't be healthy," Marley said changing the subject before sipping from her milkshake and Betty rolled her eyes.

"Marls, this is a serious-" Betty began before Marley interrupted her when she saw Drew and Dakota walk into Pops.

Marley waved then over and Dakota rolled her eyes as Drew walked towards Marley and Betty and sat down next to Marley, Dakota sitting next to Betty.

"I was just about to come and see you guys," Marley said and Dakota furrowed her eyebrows.

"Why?" Dakota rudely asked and Marley rolled her eyes at her attitude.

"Because I got you a gig," Marley said and Drew smiled and Dakota's eyes widened.

"Or, you can keep playing in your garage. It's up to you," Marley said with a smirk and Dakota smiled before looking at Betty and Betty just nodded.

"Where?" Dakota asked and Marley ran a hand through her curls before looking at Drew before looking back at Dakota.

"The Whyte Wyrm. Southside," Marley said and Drew frowned and Dakota raised an eyebrow at her.

"What's the catch? Don't tell me I have to perform with the Pussycats again because I swear to god," Dakota said and Marley rolled her eyes.

"The catch is that it's in the Southside," Betty said and Dakota looked at her before shrugging.

"That's fine," Dakota said and Drew shook his head.

"Dad will kill us," Drew said and Dakota rolled her eyes before looking at her brother.

"Dad doesn't have to know. I'm sick and tired of playing in the garage, I need to play in front of people," Dakota said and Drew frowned before looking at Marley.

"How much will you pay us?" Drew asked and Marley scoffed.

"I'll pay you in hugs," Marley said making Drew laugh and Dakota frowned.

"Why would I want to hug you?" Dakota asked and Marley shot her a look before shrugging.

"Well, I'll just ask the Pussycats to play then. After all they are the most known-" Marley said before Dakota interrupted her.

"We will do it. When is it?" Dakota asked and Marley grinned and Dakota rolled her eyes.

"Friday," Marley said and Dakota nodded before looking at Drew.

"And we can sing any songs we want?" The twins asked simultaneously and Marley looked at the both of them in shock.

"Please don't do that again, it's fucking creepy. But yes, you can play whatever you want," Marley said and Dakota grinned before standing up.

"Come on, Drew, we have to rehearse," Dakota said and Drew groaned.

"But I'm hungry," Drew groaned and Dakota glared at her brother before crossing her arms over her chest.

"A murdered cow, won't satisfy your hunger. Let's go," Dakota said and Drew groaned before standing up after his sister. Before they left Dakota looked at Betty.

"Betts, do you want to come with? Help us pick out a song?" Dakota asked her and Betty looked at Marley and Marley shrugged.

"Knock yourself out, Betts. I'm gonna head home anyway," Marley said and Betty smiled before sliding out of the booth and walking out of Pops with Drew and Dakota.
