The next year and two months went by rocky at first but eventually smoothed out. I graduated from highschool online but never went ant farther than that except for getting am actual job. Now I was of course working in the music industry, I was a part time producer, I basically just help out the bands that already have an idea of what they want and make it happen. I loved it and it payed good so that was great. I moved out of Vic's as soon as I could which was a few months after I got there because they didn't have any apartments available. But everything was perfect now, I ended up getting a new number because of how much everyone was texting daily and that helped a lot. Right now, I was getting ready to go to work, finishing up dressing and slipping my phone in my pocket.

Yes my outfits have changed because it's easier not to get noticed but it was still an outfit I like a lot. I grabbed my keys and headed out, locking the door behind me and jogging down the stairs and to my car. I got in and ran a hand through my hair as I drove to work. But if course I had to hit the stupid red light that always hated me. Almost everyday I hit it. I heard loud male talking from my left so of course me being nosey looked over to see them. All of them, in the van. I quickly looked away before they could notice me and thankfully it changed almost the same time so I could go. But the problem was, they followed me all the way to work. Great. But they kept going which made me let out a breath and relax. I knew it was just a matter of time before they showed up again, but I didn't expect it today. Not at all. I parked the car and got out, going inside. The second I was in there I felt calm and collected, this was actually a great job. It was calming and it was something I loved to do. Lacy smiled at me and motioned for me to come over so I did. "Good morning Angel." She said happily. Hm, weird. She's really happy and kinda hyper. But she's probably just had coffee as she's always like this when she had coffee. "Morning Lacy. What's in store today?" I asked, looking down at the papers in her hands. "Okay so I'm sorry in advanced." She said. I was a little worried now, "What does that mean?" I asked. She turned the paper so I could see who I was working with today. Oh. My. God. Dad, I was working with dad and the guys. Holy fucking shit. I quickly shook my head, "No, no I can't do that. You have to give me someone else I can't." I said, my hands shaking a little. She quickly out down the papers and came over to me, pulling me into a hug. "You'll be okay. Maybe this is what you need, you can't avoid them forever." She said. "I could've tried." I said and she smiled a little and pulled away. "Well it wouldn't have worked." She said. "But this is a little different, they don't want you to do what you usually do, they're um merch girl didn't come through and they need someone like now." She said. Again I shook my head, it was one thing to see them a couple times, but having to go back on tour? No. Hell no. "Lacy I'm not doing that. I can't." I said, my hands shaking more. "You have to. It's not a choice." She said, her boss side coming out. "There isn't anyone else?" I asked. She shook her head, "No. Everyone else is too busy." She said. I knew that's because I work fast to get shit done so I'm always ahead, so it was my own fault I had to do this. So I just nodded. "Go home, pack you're shit. They're manager John is coming to pick you up in two hours. Be ready." She explained. I just nodded and walked out again, getting into my car with shaky hands and shutting the door. What am I gonna do? What am I gonna say? I can't just show up. But I have too. Fuck me, what do I do? I just ran a hand through my hair and started the car, driving down to my apartment withy mind clouded with what to say. I got out and was about to go up to my apartment when I seen Vic's car, but he wasn't alone obviously. But oh well, he could know other people in this building. I got up to my room and went to unlock the door only to find I forgot my key in the car. Fucking fantastic. So I went back down and to my car, looking around for it to see it fell in between the seats. "Well fuck. Nothing is going my god damned way today." I muttered, sitting back down and running a hand through my hair. "Angel, everything good?" Came Mike's voice. I shook my head not looking over, "No. This day is shit." I mumbled. "Why?" He asked. "It just is. They're making me go be a stupid merch girl for them. I'm not ready for that shit yet, I haven't had my coffee yet, and I lost my key down the side of the seat and can't reach it." I started listing off things making him chuckle. I glared over at him, "It's not funny! Stop laughing at my pain." I said. He just smiled, "You'll be fine Angel. Here, move I'll get you're key." He said. At least he was being useful. I moved out of the car and he reached down into the crack and grabbed it, pulling away and handing it to me. "Thank you." I said. He nodded and I shut and locked my car. "What am I gonna do?" I asked. "Just talk to them. Explain why you had to leave, they would understand." He said gently. That was the obvious thing to do, I just don't think I'll be able to do it. But I just nodded because I had to go pack. "Yeah I guess. I gotta go pack, tell me if you hear anything from them kay?" I said. He nodded and went back over to Vic's car after saying goodbye while I went back over to my apartment. When he opened the door I swear I saw the firmiliar pink hair if Inna, but it was closed again too soon for me to know for sure. So I just brushed it off and went upstairs and this time was able to get into my apartment. The first thing I did was go pack my shit then I changed into a more comfortable outfit because if their manager is coming to get me then that means their to far out for all of them to come.
