The Story of Steps

Stage

Faye:

Ever since our band splitted, we didn't talked to each other. We only know what the rest of the band is currently doing through the magazines. 

None of us is talking to each other, not even Lisa and me despite we really were best friends. But she plans to publish her own songs now, I saw an interview of hers where she said he wants to stay in the music industry. I also heard that she's planning to do some kind of an own tv show that she'll be creating herself, alongside Johnny. 

Lee is focusing on acting now. I know how much he enjoyed it to act in our music videos, so that seems like the perfect for him. I saw a movie once in which he played a small role and admittedly, he's really talented.

As for myself, I'm appearing in a stage production. I made a few small appearances on tv shows for singing but to be on stage again seems like a great idea. They're all quite nice there - and talented! - although sometimes, I still imagine ut as being on stage with Steps. And it's still sad to think about the bands split.

But my parents are so supportive towards me. Back then when we returned from that certain concert where Steps splitted, they were listening to me while I cried and cried over the fact that H and Claire just resigned - to form a new band now! When I told my parents about that, they said something like why not forming a new band with Lee and Lisa too. My answer was that it would lead to tension again and I should focus on these stage productions instead, letting the others focus on their stuff in acting and singing. They said that, if this is my decision, they're accepting it - and of course they do, they're always coming to support me whenever a stage productions premieres. 

Currently, I'm quite busy with rehearsals but gladly I can perfectly connect it with my relationship because Dylan is appearing in this play too. Being a singer himself, he's perfect for his part. The director asked him if he would like to work on the play too, wanting him to add a few songs that he's rehearsing with us.

"Cutie?" he calls from across the room. "You saw my script?"

"No." I call back, focusing on the talk show I'm watching. Apparently H and Claire are invited as guests and I desperately want to know what they're talking about. Well probably about the band but why do they appear together?

"Faye!" Dylan literally shouts, making me jump. "Sorry, I didn't meant to scare you. What are you watching there?"

"A talk show. H and Claire are invited." I explain, biting my lip. "I know we need to go to rehearsals now but please let me watch for a moment."

He sighs, taking a seat. "Don't you think you're bothering yourself too much? How about focusing on the play instead? I know that you're upset because of the band splitted but it's-"

"Listen!" I say, staring at the tv when seeing H and Claire being announced, greeting the show presenter happily. They're greeted back before taking a seat. "Well look at them, how they act all loved up. Almost as if they hadn't resigned."

"Welcome, you both. How nice to see you." the show host greets them.

"How nice!" I imitate the host, earning a slight slap against the shoulder from Dylan. 

"Obviously we're upset about the band's split. But Claire and me are delighted about continuing to make music as a duett!" H announces cheerfully.

"What?" I shout. "Are you crazy? Is this what you dumped us for? For a freaking duett? For a damn duett?!"

"Enough." Dylan says, turning off the tv and taking my hand. "We're going to rehearsals now, come on, it's not good if you keep watching."

"I- I don't want to go rehearsing." I say with a small voice.
