The tall girl stepped out of her silver car onto the lawn, the door closing with a muted thud. She took a deep breath, adjusting her hair in its bun before letting her hands fall to her side. Quickly, the woman cut across the lawn towards the driveway of the elegant home. She hadn't seen nor heard from Adam and the rest of his large and ever-growing family, and she thought that popping in for a few days would be a welcome surprise.

She'd been off at college in Maine for many months, and the return to New York really seemed to uplift her spirits about her upcoming exams and due dates. But it was her break-time, she had no need to worry about those things. So with a resigned sigh, she hopped up the steps of the porch and opened the door.

A moment of worry flashed by- what if she was popping in at the most inopportune time? But it was her family, they couldn't dislike her presence that much.

"Hello?" she called, her tone bright and song-like. She peeked her head around the corner into one of the first rooms in the house, but it was empty. She set her coat and purse down, hoping they'd recognize her voice.​

Adam smiled brightly as he embraced Emily, This past week & today has been such an emotional rollercoaster for his family that he just wanted to hold his family tight and never let go. But as the old phrase goes 'All good things must come to an end.' When Emily ended the hug between Adam & her, Adam's ears suddenly perked up when he heard a very familiar voice enter the house. Adam dashed to the living room and stopped dead in his tracks with a look of complete shock on his face. "S-S-S-Sh-Shannon...? What are you doing here?" Adam asked stuttering in a state of bewilderment. He hadn't seen his sister in so long, The Last time Adam & Shannon had seen each other was her 'going-away-for-college party'.

Her eyes widened with worry, his tone quickly changing her upbeat mood. "Oh, please tell me I'm not interrupting anything super important," she said, closing her eyes.

She placed her head in her hands, blinking before lifting her head back again. "Maine gets a break this time of year, I thought it would be a fun surprise for everyone for me to come down." In reality, she hadn't been home in years. She did feel a little bad for not calling or checking in beforehand, but she couldn't change the past now. "I probably should've said something, I know, but I've not been home in forever and I- thought it was a good idea." She leaned against the door frame of the living room, her hazel eyes hidden behind long, lowered lashes.

Shannon had a tendency to overthink everything, and this encounter wasn't one of them. She had spent the summers and holiday breaks by herself, crammed in her tiny dorm room with textbooks and articles surrounding her bed. She was majoring in biology- hoping to at least try to match up to the successes of her elder siblings and relatives. She'd even brought them all with her. But with a shake of her head, she looked back up. "I'm sorry."​

​

Liam remained quiet for the journey home. He had plenty of thoughts about the situation, but none that he could verbalise in that moment. He felt ashamed about what had happened, and that he hadn't been able to keep up his facade of composure at least until he got home. He felt drained from the meltdown, as those were always tiring no matter how severe. He felt sad and almost confused about Luka being, well, dead. Most of all, he felt worried about his friend. Even with Adam's advice, he still wasn't sure if he would be able to provide a satisfactory amount of support for Naomi. It all seemed so overwhelming.

"Tired," was the only response Liam could manage to Emily's question, his voice sounding more tearful than he had hoped. Without another word, he trailed off to his bedroom, where he closed the curtains, removed his shoes, and lay down on his bunk. His safe place. Not long after, a familiar notification sound emitted from somewhere within his backpack. He pulled out his phone to see a message from Naomi. He read it carefully, a total of seven times, before typing a reply.

Naomi

them

hey Liam I am okay I don't know when I be back at school i'm not ready yet but I'm okay can i come over

me

I happen to be at home right now, so probably

me

I'll go and ask

Although he didn't want to be socialising in that moment, he wanted to be there for his best friend. So, he'd have to work through it. He had to.

Slowly, he made his way back downstairs to where Emily was. "Naomi wants to come over," he stated, holding out the phone for his mother to see. Then he heard voices coming from the living room. Was Naomi already there? It didn't sound like Naomi. He furrowed his brow, unable to figure out who it was. "Who's Dad talking to?" he asked, trying to ignore the anxiety crawling within him due to the unknown presence.

Adam started to regain his composure by taking a few slow deep breathes, After he calmed down a bit, He spoke softly when his sister apologized for showing up out of the blue. "No, Don't apologize, I should be the one apologizing for the way I reacted, I'm sorry, It's just that things have become very hectic lately, That reaction is no way for a brother to welcome his sister home from college. Come here & give me a hug!" Adam requested warmly as he held his arms outstretched waiting for Shannon to hug him. Adam was currently trying to figure out how he was going to explain the whole situation surrounding Luka.

She smiled despite herself, the anxiety seeming to disappear from her expression almost immediately. She rolled her eyes playfully, reaching her arms out to embrace Adam tightly. "I think the apologies are overrated. But I am sorry for not checking in at all," she murmured into his ear. She squeezed tightly before letting him go, taking a step back and seeming to size him up.

"No more apologies, okay?" she said. She smiled happily, as if she wasn't full of worry the moment before. Shannon was a simple woman, the smallest reassurance could change her emotions in moments. "So, where is everyone? Seems kinda quiet around here." Her brown eyes scanned the rooms she could see from her current position, though it wasn't much.​

Adam embraced his sister, As she spoke about her thoughts on apologies and request for no more apologies, Adam nodded and replied with a smile. "It's alright, it's not the first time over the weekend & this past weekend that we've gotten surprises, You've missed alot. I'll try my best to explain it." Adam responded as he tried to prepare himself for the events he was about to relay to his sister. Until she asked where everyone else was. "Anthony, Jane, Lilly and Dominick are still at school, Emily's in the kitchen and so is Liam. I had to pick him up early because he wasn't handling the events of last sunday very well, Hell, we all aren't. But before I tell you that, Please sit, Would you like anything to drink? Coffee? Tea? Water? Anything at all?" Adam asked while waiting patiently for an answer. A soft smile on his face.

She listened intently with bright eyes, her lips folded into a faint smile as she listened to her brother speak about his family. It was nice to hear about all of her relatives. "I always miss a lot, nothing new to me," she said playfully.

"Anyways, no, thank you I'm fine." She took a seat on one of the love-seats beside her, glancing with concern to him as he spoke. "Is everything alright? What happened?" She watched him with a serious intensity. Even though she was the youngest, she still liked to act that she could fix any issue that came her way. "Spill, please, before I burst."​

Adam chuckled at Shannon's comment about always missing important events about her family, But the cheery atmosphere was shortened when she asked if everything was okay with them. Adam shook his head 'No' in response to the question & when Shannon finally snapped at pleaded for him to tell her what had happened. Adam let out a deep sigh of sadness & sat down next to Shannon. And he began to speak. "Okay, Well...it was a normal day at first, Anthony was watching TV, Dominick was on the couch reading, Emily had gotten home from work, Liam was upstairs in his room, Lilly had just come in from playing outside, and Jane was upstairs in her room as well. A few hours pass & I'm in the kitchen preparing Dinner, Anthony's girlfriend Emma decides to join us for dinner along with our neighbor Ms. Tanaka. Everything's going great until..." Adam pauses his story, knowing that Emily and especially Liam were in earshot of him, he decided to whisper his next part about Jake & Luka to Shannon. "...Until Emily's brother Jake showed up out of nowhere, You see, he was in Prison because he had gone insane and tried to murder his wife & Kids, He was also addicted to drugs at the time & was diagnosed as having Paranoid Personality Disorder, But he told us that he received treatment with medication & therapy and that he had become a Christian while in prison. Liam, Lilly, and Dominick don't know about his past. So that's why i'm whispering this to you. Don't tell them though, Emily & I will do it when we feel the time is right...Anyways, Everybody was on edge about Jake & his arrival until Emily's partner at the Homicide Department, Kane, showed up. After a while, everything had calmed down but Ms. Tanaka had to leave early for personal reasons. And a few moments after Kane arrived, Liam's friend Naomi arrived with her older sister Luka...And-" Adam stopped abruptly to calm himself down to continue because he was starting to getting emotional from remembering those moments. He swallowed the lump in his throat & reluctantly continued whispering his story. "And Jake in accordance with his religious beliefs said Grace at the table, Dinner was already laid out at this point and Luka & I were in the kitchen preparing dessert. When she tells me she's going to go get some stuff she had forgotten at her house. I had decided to set the dessert aside for now & go join the others at the table when we had this sinking feeling something was wrong...Our worries turned out to be true when we had heard the screeching of tires. Emily advised me to stay & watch the kids while she & Kane investigated. That's when Emily, Kane, and the rest of us found out by the stains of blood on Emily's clothes that Luka was killed in a hit-and-run, apparently, she had been getting harassed with death threats by anonymous people on Social Media for however long it was. And Today, Liam had a meltdown at school because he doesn't know how to cope with it, We all aren't but we're trying to. And because Emily knew Luka personally, she isn't allowed to be directly involved in the case. And from what we had learned from Anthony was that his best friend & bandmate John Walker was long-time friends with Luka, So...That's it. Nothing else to say about it." Adam concluded his retelling as he had his head in his hands, still upset from the tragic event. He lifted his head up out of his hands and looked at Shannon as he waited for her reaction.

She sat there blankly, as if he hadn't even spoken yet. She hadn't known Luka very well, but she'd seen the young girl once or twice in the past. "I- uhm." She paused, unsure of what to say.

She took a deep breath in through her nose, her brown eyes closed. "What the fuck?" she said quietly, her voice inaudible to anyone other than Adam. "Your life is one big mess. I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier to help you through this, I-" Shannon took another pause, this time opening her eyes and leaning against the back of the couch she sat on. "Now I feel bad for not coming earlier."

"Are-Are you okay? Do you need anything? There's got to be something I can do to at least try and help."​

Adam laughed at his sister's comment about how messed up his life was. "Tell me about it, It's been hard on everyone. We're trying our best to cope with it though. You know...It's moments like that where I envy you because you seem to have it easy when it comes to coping with stressful moments." Adam confessed to his sister. He knew that College came with its own litany of issues but it wasn't near the level of what he & his family were experiencing currently. Adam's eyes danced with playfulness as Shannon apologized again. He smirked & restated Shannon's previous opinion & request about apologies. "If I recall, Someone told me she thinks that apologies are overrated & doesn't want any more apologies." Adam replied with a light teasing tone. "I'm fine, Shannon. There is one thing I think you can do for me that'll help. You being here is enough for me & the rest of the family." He told his sister sweetly.

"You've not seen me during exam season, Adam. I stress pretty terribly about them. Pretty much all year round," she began. "But this is about you. You guys will be fine soon enough."

She leaned back against the back of the couch, her tightly tied bun beginning to loosen itself, much like herself as she relaxed into the soft material of the couch. She ignored his comment about the apologies, rolling her eyes playfully. He may have been much older than her, but they got along well. "But if there's anything else I can do, you tell me. Okay?"​

Adam chuckled at Shannon's explanation of her college woes, It made him think back to his own days in college & as he did, He felt very empathetic towards her and her struggles. "Oh, trust me. I absolutely the feeling of anxiety when it comes to college & exams, the caffeine-ridden sleepless nights, And on & on." Adam reminisced as a way to ease his sister's mind regarding college. He nodded, thanking Shannon for assuring him that everything will be okay. "Thanks, sis, With you being here to support us. I know we'll be fine." Adam stated with an optimistic tone & a confident look in his eyes. When Shannon requested of Adam to be made aware of anything else she could do to help his brother's family bounce back from this horrific event, Adam reassured her. "Don't worry sis, If I think of anything. You'll be the first to know." Adam noticed that his sister's bun was starting to loosen. "I see your bun is starting to loosen, If you want to literally let your hair down, You can." Adam pointed out. "Hey, Emily! Liam! Come into the living room and see who's here!" Adam called out to the pair.

Mason Walker

​

A week day never felt like a normal day to Mase as the man sat within the recording room of his studio. He'd have an hour before his next group session would begin and after the news of tragedy that struck only so few hours, perhaps days ago... Mason felt like a man in need of something to keep him busy, it wasn't exactly how well a person knew another in moments like this one. But the fact that death could arrive upon the doorstep of one so young and future so bright, a life taken from this world before it could be taken for granted as many have experienced at some point in their lives, upon seeing how others have it in comparison to their own. Mason had no intention of writing a song that morning, nor had he intent to try and play anything much less in the recording area of his studio which was mostly used for upstart bands and unknown talents getting a shot to record and experience a studio while they try to make it big and get discovered. A small give back Mason promised himself he'd give upon opening his own studio years ago after his own career and life hit a end in music and forced a change in his life. The charge wasn't money, it never was as Mason easily remembered what it was like starting out with Shon and their band in college, they had nothing starting out but their talent, voices, guitar and drums and other instruments they managed from pawn shops and giveaways well and the clothes on their backs. So the charge was more.... well it was something worth much more then money to him. On a plaque above his entry door of the recording studio was written 'For those seeking a path down the truest form of expression... Come, Feel, play and express free here in this studio with your music. Strive for your dreams without need for the riches of stars.' A somewhat lengthy but well intended, heart felt invitation to all musicians and bands. He wasn't rich exactly, but he had done well for himself and his family and though his studio was small in comparison to the big time studios in Nashville and L.A and other places that served the stars and such. Mason kept his studio well maintained and updated as much as he could afford without risking more then he'd dare.

But sitting in that room his hands moving toward a familiar Gibson Les Paul, a old beauty Mason has owned since his humble beginnings and wouldn't trade for the world. She had been there with him through the glory of his greatest moments and the toughest of times, still she looked almost brand new, as new as one her age could after nearly thirty years. His hand moved toward the guitar as his eyes traced her base with a soft smile. "Maybe today girl, maybe for a moment we can play like old times." Mason spoke softly almost in whisper to the guitar as if it were a real person. He gently lifted the bass by her neck and leaned over to plug her into the amp, while setting it in place upon his lap while he sat on that stool quietly wondering if his hand would let him play without struggle. Without effecting his play as he intended to play with his left hand if luck was with him. It wasn't that his hand was completely unable to function just that it was enough that he couldn't always play with that hand or use it normally like others do and he once did. While playing with his right while possible and he played well after some practice years ago to adjust from years of muscle memory, it was just that he felt right, felt truly like himself from his glory days when his left hand allowed him to play like old times. Perhaps a silly and difficult to understand thing... But that was how came to be for him, he couldn't help it.

Knowing he turned the equipment on and was ready to record despite not knowing what he was going to play or if he even could with his left today. Mason closed his eyes like always did before placing his fingertips close to the strings of his guitar, a almost calming and meditation esque scene of tranquility as he sought to 'feel' that flow of creation and music that inspiration to play something beyond words and yet to place that very thing into words and play. Soon after he slowly began to move his fingers across the strings and take aim to express himself in a way that suited him best and how he could best express himself. So while sitting atop that simple stool with one foot on the bars of the stool and other upon the wood floor of his studio, wearing a striped shirt underneath his leather coat and scarf of the day and some dark blue jeans. Mason not looking at the time on his watch, started to play something like this and seemed to drift off into his play.

Shon Lee

​

The atmosphere at the lycan room was quiet as the day time never meant high traffic for the restaurant especially during the week. No, it was meant for a slow business lunch hour while most of it was spent dealing with suppliers, maintenance and preparation for the night and Shon was more tempered, focused and quiet seeking to perfect every detail about the restaurant as he ignored critics in the reviews section and thought over the menu for the nights specials. Several ideas had come over his mind, some not relating to food as his mind wondered about adding some music to the atmosphere to change the mood to that of one more lively then softer chatter and quiet overall dining room. Only issue of live music was finding a band at last minute, furthermore finding a good band at last minute that could fit what he had in mind for the night.

As Shon walked about the restaurant checking on one thing to the next, ranging from the dining area to the bar then toward the kitchen and restrooms, followed with a quick check on the stage and backrooms for VIP guests and bands. All the while his ears listened to the moody blues playing 'Tuesday Afternoon' over head bringing a smile to his face as memories of the time he and Mason tried their hand at covering this song and few others on the Moody Blues albums. He almost went unaware that his lead assistant in all things pertaining to the restaurant was at his heels and trying to get his attention for a issue that came up with the day's delivery.

- At the university campus, -

Well, today's classes were boring. Incredibly boring. Most of the time, the professor just complained about his life, how his fiancee is about to end the relationship because he is such a cynical asshole. During the class, if you can even call it that, Justus-Siegbert was mainly on his phone, checking out his social media. Was way more interesting than listening to a 30-something guy rambling about his boring life. During the class, he even heard some of his fellow classmates giggling. Honestly, it was funny to see. It's like we are some sort of cheap therapists. After the class, the professor left the room and slammed the door shut. Loud. Very loud.
After classes, Justus-Siegbert was on the university campus, talking to his classmates about the next exams. 'Well, the next exam with Mr. Bailey will surely be crazy.', one of his classmates said. It was a rather slim looking girl with bright green colored hair and a few piercings. She was dressed rather casual, like always. 'I-it would not s-s-surprise m-me if the next exam i-is about his p-private life.' Oh god, Justus-Siegbert can see the questions. Gotta play the hobby therapist for a way older professor. Oh. My god.

Emily watched Liam slunk off to his bedroom with a sad expression. She wished she could flip a switch and make him feel better but unfortunately the task of cheering him up was not going to be anywhere near that simple. A few moments later, Liam returned. "She does? She's more than welcome to, I think it would be good for her to spend some time here." Emily replied to Liam's statement that Naomi wanting to come over. "I think it might be good for you too..." She added, smiling softly at Liam. "I don't actually know who he's talking too..." Emily said thoughtfully in response to Liam's question regarding who Adam was talking to. "Shall we go-" As she started to speak Adam's voice came from the living room, calling for Emily and Liam to join him and whoever he was with, "...see..." Emily mumbled the last word of her suggestion as she curiously made her way to the living room.

Emily's face instantly lit up as she walked into the living room and realised who her husband hat been speaking with. "Shannon!" She exclaimed with a big smile. "How have you been? How's College going?" As Emily asked the questions she gave Shannon a tight squeeze before taking a step back. "What brings you back here?" She asked with a smile.

Luka, of all people, did hit her hard. the girl was always sweet to her and visa-versa. it just wasn't fair. with her passing came a lot of disheartened students, too many questions zelda couldn't answer, and far too many snarky remarks. remarks she responded to with detentions. a few children had even taken off of school. she suspected they were closer to the young girl. other teachers spoke of her sister not being in school since the incident.....
it was a stressful time. for most everyone. though zelda didn't want to let it define their days. she couldn't.
"thankyou ellie. that was a beautiful reading." zelda offered a smile to the girl who had just finished reciting a paragraph out of their textbook. they were still in the modern history phase for the term. "so~ to summarise- and i want you to write this down. you can pretty it up with highlighters later." she stood from her swivel chair, with textbook in hand, and read from a pre-written sticky note over ellie's paragraph. "the women’s suffrage movement was a decades-long fight to win the right to vote for women in the United States. it took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy: disagreements over strategy threatened to cripple the movement more than once. but on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship." zelda read this at an easy pace, while [majority of] her students took it down carefully; hanging on to every word she said so as not to miss something. when she was done, her eyes scanned the room as she held the textbook to her chest. "do I need to repeat anything?"
a hand shot up in the back of the class and with a nod, zelda acknowledged the boy. "can you repeat the date?" "sure can miles......that's....august twenty six, nineteen twenty." she let a moment pass. "good?" miles gave a thumbs up. "perfecto~ okay, what do we have next?" zelda took a seat again, this time on the edge of her desk. she flipped through the next few pages or so quickly, making note of the useless information before her. "how much longer do we have left?" she asked no-one in particular, though one student responded. "twenty minutes ms." zelda smiled. "is that all? lucky you." half of her class murmured in agreement, while the others groaned in agitation. zelda looked up at them with mock shock. "oh~ okay- put your things away-" the class cheered and the scuffle began. "carefully!," zelda stressed. "im giving you ten minutes. no more." she slid off her desk and turned to the board with the textbook still in hand, but now also holding a marker and began writing out random years on the board. zelda spoke under her breath as she began. "lord knows you need it~." she would spend their last 10 minutes together testing their knowledge. a break was warranted for today. but tommorrow things would go back to normal. soon as she was done, zelda turned and leaned against the bored. "o- kay-" her eyes scanned the kids in front of her to choose her first victim. "Jane." she called on one of the twins, with a kind smile. "eyes to the board." she stood up properly, moved to sit at her desk and faced the timeline. "Jane. can you tell me what year women were given the vote, in.......England?"

Kae had sighed as his LT had asked him to come into her office. She was a bit of a hardass. "Great. It's not like I already have a lot with robin... fuck." He thought as he walked into the LT's office. "What's up LT? Something inportant?" He asked walking over to a chair opposite from her desk. "I don't have that much time. I've got some question's that I need to ask to some of the faclty at the school." He said running his hand through his hair. He didn't have that much time.

Bryan had looked up from the papers that he was reading. His daughter had asked if she could go to her friends. "Sure." He said softly. He knew that his daughter was feeling sad about her sister. "Just be home before dinner. I'm gonna make something really good." He said with a smile. He wanted to try and cheer her up but he couldn't think of anything. It was so hard for him to connect with her while she was sad. It was hard for him to connect with her at all. She was his daughter, and yet he couldn't connect with her.

Liam took a moment to consider what his mother had said. Maybe Naomi coming over would be a good thing for him. Or maybe it wouldn't. He wasn't sure. He'd just have to wait and see. Emerging from his pondering, he looked up to see Emily going to investigate who was in the living room. He peered in to see his aunt Shannon on the other side of Emily's embrace. Although he had nothing against his aunt, he hadn't seen her in a long time, and the last time a relative turned up so unexpectedly, well... someone died. And despite knowing those events hadn't even remotely caused each other, Liam could help but correlate them. Thankfully, the door was knocked before such a thought could be vocalised.

He hurried to the front door, starting to recite the PokéDex as he went. A means of remaining calm, in this case. "Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venasaur, Charmander, Charmeleon..." He unlocked the door, and pulled it open. "Charizard, Squir-" The sight of Naomi cut him off. He'd seen her sad before, but never like this. It was obvious that she had been crying, or even still was. That was always an indicator that a person was upset. Yet, it felt as though there was something more. Something different from just being sad. Liam didn't understand what that was. He couldn't find a word for it. Was there even a word for it? Was there even something, or was he imagining it due to tiredness? Or was it simply because he hadn't seen Naomi in a while? He had no idea. All he knew was that it was giving him a strange sinking feeling, and making his chest feel tight. He couldn't speak. It almost didn't seem real. It didn't seem right. It wasn't right.

"Naomi," he uttered at last. "Um... Let's go inside."

Anthony was writing down the timeline of events from the textbook that his teacher Ms. Morales had read aloud to everyone else in the class, After a while, Ms. Morales had decided to end class early. He got his stuff together & put away into his backpack as he saw his sister Jane doing the same thing. After he finished, Anthony went over to Ms. Morales with one of his band's albums and held it out to her. "Uh...Excuse me, Ms. Morales, Would you like to have one of my band's albums? Me, John, and Lizzie are in it. I write the lyrics, sing & play lead guitar, and occasionally play Piano & keyboard in the band, John plays Rhythm Guitar & does back up vocals, He also mixes & produces our albums & Lizzie plays bass and also does back up vocals in the band. She also is our main songwriter & my girlfriend Emma plays Drums, does back up vocals & writes lyrics with me. We're having a show this weekend at a church that got turned into an all-ages music venue called The Sonic Sanctuary. Would you like to come & see us?" Anthony asked politely & a bit nervously. He was worried she would decline his offer to see them live because of the harsher songs.



Emma was in her Theology class with her teacher talking about The New Testament & The Gospel of Matthew, She was bored out of her mind & began thinking about something else more interesting to not only relieve her of her boredom but to distract her from the events she was a part of last weekend involving the loss of Luka. She smirked & chuckled to herself as she remembered a funny incident involving her, Anthony, and his little brother Liam. They were discussing the story of Noah's Ark.

[Flashback]

Emma: It doesn't make sense Tony, A man collects every animal onto a wooden ship from a flood? What about the animals eating the other animals? That story sucks.
Anthony: I don't know what you're talking about, it's the most exciting shit ever, It's about a dude catching every animal ever...It's like the original Pokemon.
*Liam bursts in* Liam: Did somebody say Pokemon?
Anthony & Emma: *Laughs* *Laughs*

[End of Flashback]

Emma was broken out of her trip down memory lane as the school bell rang, She gathered up her things & put her backpack on. racing out of there as fast as she could. Emma put her headphones on & scrolled through her list of songs on her Iphone's music app, Once she found a song she wanted to hear, She put her phone in her side pocket & began walking home.

Lizzie had finished packing up her things & was waiting for Anthony to finish his conversation with Ms. Morales, So to pass the time, Lizzie began striking up a conversation with John. She thought it would be a good way to relieve him of the stress Luka's death had been having on him lately.

Lizzie: Hey John, do you want me to walk home with you or drive you home?
John: ...Huh? Oh, sorry...Uh, I wouldn't mind riding home with you, Plus I think Anthony & the rest might go home together. If they can make to that point, What with Anthony's endless conversation & his tendency to ramble alot. *Laughs*
Lizzie: Yeah, *Laughs* ...Alright, I'll text my dad & tell him.

Dad

me

Hey Dad, I'm driving John home & I'll be home soon. okay? I love you! <3

Lizzie: Okay, the text has been sent!

John nodded in response & walked up behind Anthony & called out his name in order to get his best friend's attention. "Yo Tony! Lizzie & I are heading home in her car, We'll see ya later!" John saw Anthony turn and look at him. "Oh, Alright! I'm just telling Ms. Morales about our band & our upcoming show this weekend!" Anthony summarized quickly, He didn't wanna keep his teacher, his friends or his siblings waiting. Anthony turned his attention back to Ms. Morales, John smiled at the fact Anthony was telling their teacher about his band. John's Dad, Mason, would allow them to rehearse in his studio & He & John's mother were the ones who helped Anthony's family pay their medical bills after Anthony's injury. John's mother was away on business currently. Which was good for the band because nobody will complain about the loudness.

Spoiler: The song Emma picked.
