“None of my damn business Mandy?! Are you fucking kidding me?!” I walked in to see Val standing in between Mandy and Matt and Tal was behind Mandy.
“Matt this is my life and if I wanna be with him so what?”
“So what? You got so fucking pissed off when you found Michelle and Brian together, but now you’re fucking one of his best friends?!”
Mandy’s POV
I couldn’t believe my ears, Matt of all people knew me the best, he knew that I would never do something that would hurt Brian and I would definitely never stoop to his level. I didn’t want to be around him anymore. I couldn’t be around him. I ran upstairs to my room.
Val’s POV
“Are you fucking kidding me Matt?! How could you say that to her?” I pushed him out of my way and ran after Mandy.
I got upstairs and knocked on her door. “Mands, its Val.” She opened the door and her eyes were red from crying.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know what got into him.”
“Don’t apologize for him Val. He knew what he was saying to me.”
“Honestly Mandy, I don’t think he did. He has been going through a lot lately and being on the verge of losing the band isn’t making things anything easier.”
“You know Val, I’m going through a lot, Alisha’s going through a lot, you’re going through a lot, and we’re all going through a lot. Matt just needs to realize that.”
Alisha’s POV
“Matt come here.” He walked over to me and I slapped him.
“What the hell was that for?” He snapped.
“First of all don’t talk to me like that. Second of all you need to get your shit together. Don’t ever disrespect Mandy like that again especially not in her own home. You know that she is going through some things just like the rest of us and if you don’t like that her and Tal are spending a lot of their time together than you can leave. Brian was the one that fucked up her not Mandy.”
“Whatever Alisha.” And with that he walked out of the house.
I looked at Jimmy. “What’s his problem?”
He shook his head. “I’ll talk to him.”
Joel’s POV
I sat in the studio with the guys when Benji walked in. “Sarah called. She’s at Alisha’s house she said everything is alright and she’ll call if anything.”
I nodded and continued to work on my latest song.
I was still having a hard time finding the right music for the lyrics I had written. I turned towards Benji. “Hey man, can you help me out. I can’t find the right music.”
He nodded. “Let’s hear what you got.”
I started from the beginning.
“I feel so far away, from everything I used to be
So I just hang my head, and feel ashamed
Like theres nothing I can do
We thought no time or space
Could separate us with all that we've been through
But now she's on a plane, she's miles away
And I just wanna go home
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she said she don't know who I am
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she's crying
Cause she liked me better when
I was different
No one knew me then
Back in Maryland
Way before LA
I had everything
Can't forget the days
I was back home in Maryland”
“Wow dude. Umm. Let’s run it again. I think I got something.”
So that’s what we did all day. Work on our new album the one that would hopefully bring me back to Alisha some day.
