The Preparation for Karaoke

Marshall told his dad all about it. His dad was thrilled.

'I'm proud of you. Throwing yourself into the real world. Enjoy it while it lasts, I say.'

Marshall smiled. They ate their cheesy Domino pizza, chatting away about goodness knows what, and enjoying each other's company. 

'You should go get ready. I have a late shift tonight but I know you won't be gone for too long. If you need me, then just text me.' Marshall waved to his dad, who now had his uniform on and was walking through the door. His dad was a fireman, and he used to be one too. But his mother wanted to be a dancer, but she died. So he was living her dream for her. He pulled on a clean shirt and brushed his hair. He looked at his watch. It was only 5:30. He decided to do some piano practice to pass the time.

He decided to set off, grabbing a jacket and texting Chase that he would meet him at his house in 15.

                                                                                             ***

'Why not everyone meet up?' asked Chase's mum as he told her Marshall would be coming in 15 minutes.

'Ok'

                                                                                             ***

Rubble was greeted by his parents when he came through the door. Scratch that. They didn't even notice their son had come home from school, because they were too busy arguing.

'I'm getting out of here,' he muttered, as he changed into a neater shirt. He looked down at his phone. Chase had sent him his address. Rubble smiled at it whilst he ran downstairs.

'I'm going out.' He said to his parents. 'I won't be back until late.'

No response. They couldn't care less about him. They were too busy getting caught up in their hectic lives to care about their son. Rubble sighed as he walked to the location on his phone. Thank goodness it was quite close...

                                                                                            ***

Rocky unlocked the door and came in. It was a pigsty from last night. 

'I'm home!' he called out. No response. Obviously. His dad was most likely at the pub, getting into a drunken state. Rocky threw his bag down on the table and began to clean up. He then made tea. He left a portion of lasagne on the side. Not that he'll eat it. He then got changed and looked down at his phone. Chase had texted him an hour ago. He looked down at the screen, where an address was laid. He grabbed his art bag and ran out.

                                                                        ***

Skye was already ready. She was already ready by four o clock. She received a text from her mother that she would be home late. Her mother was a nurse. Everest had already gone to meet her boyfriend, so Skye was left alone. She looked down at her phone. Her fingers took her to Chase's contact. Should she text him? She felt inclined to. What would she say though? She had fallen in love with him, she had already accepted that. But did he like her back? Suddenly, a text appeared, which made Skye jump. It was Chase's address. Skye grabbed her bag waiting on the end of the banister, and slipped on her high heel shoes. Let's go.
