Hell To Pay

Hole In My Shoe

"Wake up!!! Get up from your bed right now lazy pod." It's time for another Foo's show and Chad won't stop shaking his sister's bed. Don't forget that he's throwing stuff to her too. "Uhhh. Leave me alone."
"Don't you have a work to do?"
"I know, but I told them last night that I'm too drunk for that."
"But you're not drunk right now. Get up."

Sam wakes up, with hair all over her face. "Arggh. I need more sleep. For real."
"Hey. They pay you. I don't want them to think that you took advantage for being my sister."
"Alright! Alright!" She throws her blanket and go to the bathroom. "Get ready fast and I'll take you there."
"Okaaaay." She rolls her eyes and continue washing her skin.

After a bath, breakfast, and a little bit vitamin, Chad take her to the venue where the band will have a rehearsal before the real show in the evening. "Good bye Chad!" She walks out from his car into the venue and Chad shout out to her too, before drives away. "Have fun!"

"Hey. Anyone have aspirin?" Sam enter the room which surprised most of the members. "Sam? I thought you're not gonna come?"
"I was planning to, Chris. But Chad won't stop throwing stuff to me. I can't sleep." She throws herself while unpacking an aspirin that she found in their medical kit. Right after she takes it, she noticed how unpleasant Dave's face is. "Everything is ok?"
"Umm.." Nate rolls his eyes. "Right, where's Taylor?" She just realized he's not around. Waiting for anyone to answer, Dave let out a big sigh. "Okay. The point is, we hate his Yoko Ono-ish girl."
"Yoko what?"
"Yoko Ono. You know, a control freak girlfriend." Nate adds, which gives Sam another confusion. "What girlfriend?"
"Seriously Sam? He told us you knew." Chris was amazed on how confused Sam's face. "Well, don't look at me. I have no idea."
"Great." Dave's muttering. "For fuck sake, where is he right now?"
"That room. Probably arguing with his girl. Because she made Dave mad earlier." Nate points out to another room.

Sam goes to the door and open it, with a wide sarcastic smile. "Hey guys... What's up?" Taylor quickly turns his eyes and see Sam. "Sam? Umm.. I... She's umm..."
"Nahhh. No need to tell me. That's your business. But for real your band is waiting for a rehearsal. Get it done." Sam then close the door with a cold tone, walk back to the couch and sit with the other.

"Well. I didn't expect that.." Dave giggles. "You know what pissed me off? Not that I don't like his girlfriend because I don't know her personally. But... Because he lied to me about your vacation, and didn't even tell me about having a girlfriend."
"Even told us that you knew about the relationship." Nate adds. "Yup, plus that."
"No. You don't know her yet. But soon as you know, you'll dislike her too. She's toxic. She might able to tell Taylor what and what not to do. But if she thought she can do the sane to me, she's wrong. I built this band on my own will so no one can tell me what to do anymore. And there she is, trying to be a boss. Who the fuck is she?" From how he says it, Dave seems genuinely hate this girl.

Suddenly Taylor and the girl come out from that room. "Wait for me at your room. Not here. Please? Can you do that?" The girl looked pissed but nods. "Good. Now I have a rehearsal and show to do." He open the door for her and wait until she's quite far.

"Okay. Sam, I can explain that.."
"For what? That's your personal life, I have nothing to do with that."
"Yes, but..."
"I mean it. I don't care. What I care is, you lied to me. I know the vacation was cancelled. And then you told your band that I know about your relationship? Come on. Why you need to lie?"
"I... I'm scared. That's all. Also... Seems like Dave isn't really go friendly with her."
"Are you serious Taylor? Me? Geez. She's fucking with my band."

"Hey, hey. Stop. Both of you." Sam intervene. "First, I don't know her personally.. but if she broke your friendship with Dave, and possibly broke the chemistry of your band, you need to consider her as the new Yoko Ono. No offense." Dave smirks. "You hear her Taylor? Nina is the new Yoko Ono. Congratulations." As much as Taylor tries not to say anything, but his face clearly says that the statement pissed him off. "You guys just need to know her more! Why is that so hard?" Dave stands up and get his guitar. "Because she jumps into the commander seat at the first day. Do you expect me to be willing to know her further? Fuck no. Anyway, I'm gonna go rehearse the show by myself, you guys want to join or not?" Both Chris and Nate raise their eyebrows and nods. They pick up their instruments and follow Dave out from the room. Leave Taylor and Sam alone.

"Please don't say you're leaving too."
"I have a job to do. But really, I don't hate her. Just wondering why your friends really dislike her so much. Maybe you need to think about it." She walks out and close the door.

They start practicing, with Sam helping them behind. Just Dave, Chris, and Nate. Taylor is probably still in the room. "Hey Sam!" Dave then shout out to her. "Yes Dave?"
"Have Chad ever teach you to play drums?"
"Umm. A little, why?"
"If that boy won't coming out and practice, we should get someone to play tonight."
"I... don't think it's a good idea. I can't play."
"You sure?"
"Positive. I think I'm gonna call him again to join you..." When she's about to find him, Taylor shows up by himself. "No need to do that. I'm here." He walks passed everyone and Sam in particular. Still with disappointed face. "Good. We almost replace you." Dave says, in a very cold tone.

"Can you guys stop? For fuck sake, if you wanna fight, fight soon after. Now practice!" Sam's screaming at them before she goes to her station and help them.

"Alright then! Get ready everyone!"
