"Forty seven, and never to be seen" I sing, then trail off "Again"
I write down the updated version of Lyrics I'm working on, but they might never see daylight. I have band practice tonight, but I might end up getting kicked out... hopefully not. They should know everything I've ever done for them.
I get up from my seat in the career room... as I call it now. Then I walk out to the kitchen, "Hey Sky"
"Hey babe" she comes up to me and kisses the side of my head
"Hey" I smile
I go over to the freezer and grab out a burrito, then microwave it. "You look nice"
"Thanks"
"Are you going somewhere?"
"Oh uh, band practice" I nod, and her eyes widen
"Good luck"
I laugh at that, then when I'm finished eating I head over to the studio. I walk in, and when I get there, everyone's there but Lyric. "Lyric's pissed" Grim states
"Okay" I shrug "I don't believe I did anything wrong"
"I don't want her kicked out of the band"
"She doesn't have to be" I furrow my eyebrows "I have no beef with her"
"She has it with you" Lyric comes in, talking in third person
"I apologize that I didn't invite you into my home" I shrug "I really don't know what you want from me"
"I wanted you to be a nice friend, but odiously you don't care about me"
"Of course I do" I smile "There's a house for sale near mine, but I need two guest rooms, because people are always at my house"
"Whatever" she rolls her eyes "Let's just take a bite already"
"A vote?" I question
"To see who's leaving... me... or you"
"All in favor of licking out lyric" Grim says and my eyes widen, Brandon raises his hand
"Wow" she laughs
"All in favor of kicking out Amanda"
Only Lyric raises her hand, "it's a tie, so your both staying" Brandon smiles
"Fuck that" She furrows her eyebrows "Grim, I've known you since kindergarten!"
"Amanda is the only reason we are where we are, and the band will fail without her"
"I've been talking to Shane" she says "He'll come back! We don't even need a rhythm guitar"
"If you guys kick me out I won't be mad" I shrug "But the fans will"
"Fuck off"
"Hey, let's be civil" I stand up from the table I've been leaning against "And really evaluate-"
"No!" She laughs "Don't you get that you wronged me?"
"I had no intension to" I shrug
"So that makes it better?"
I laugh a bit, "I think we should keep Amanda"
"Grim, so you want me out?"
"Can't you see everyone just wants you to stop throwing a fit!" I spat "Fuck it, I'll leave if that's what you want! But who's gonna write the lyrics? And the music? And most of all who's gonna come to your shoes?"
"See how narcissistic you are?!" She growls and I laugh a bit
"You see how narcissistic you are? You know why I don't want you in my house? I'm FUCKING STRESSED AND I WANT TO BE ALONE!"
