Chapter 14

~ Buffy ~

-          Steve I got to do this!, I said trying to read a chapter of my chemistry book.

-          No you don’t! You know the stuff., he said in breaks while kissing my neck.

-          If you’re going to do this, I will have to find another study buddy.

-          Fine!, Steve said sitting up and grabbing his book.

-          Fine!, I said while mimicking him.

-          Always got to be Buffy’s way! Buffy this! Buffy that!, Steve muttered.

-          Excuse me?, I asked looking at him.

-          Its true!, Steve said looking at me.

-          Get over it!, I said shaking my head and started to read again.

-          No Buffy let me ask! Do you like wearing the pants in the relationship?, Steve asked.

-          What is your problem? You suffering from the male version of PMS?, I asked laughing.

-          No! I’m suffering from Buffyism., Steve sighed.

-          Why argue with me if you’re going to give up?

-          Cause I am so sick of fighting!, he admitted.

-          Don’t go saying I am to blame!, I said looking at him.

-          You are Buffy! For a few months you have been hot and cold. You aren’t as happy as you used to be and granted I love you the way you are, but you’re definitely not the girl I fell for.

-          What are you trying to say Steve?

-          What I’m trying to say Buff, is if you can’t trust in me and tell me the problem. Than maybe we aren’t as tight as what we were…

-          What are you talking about?, I asked quietly.

-          What happened that made you change? What took away your zest for life? What broke your heart?, Steve asked looking into my eyes as if that would help give him the answer.

-          What do you want me to say? My life’s dream has been shattered? The one thing I loved most I supposedly suck at? What Steve? Tell you that I have no future in music?, I asked while shaking.

-          What happened?, he asked concerned as I started to tell him what happen.

* A Couple of Weeks Ago *

It was a Friday afternoon, I had taken the day off school, because I had an appointment with a producer from a label. The name I forget, because I blanked it out of my mind. I love to sing. I have sung since I was a kid. Not many know my passion for it, except for Karlie was the first to find out. She was staying at my place for the night and heard me in the shower, then we both revealed how we loved to entertain. My singing and her with the drums. We worked on our skills, going to lessons, and practicing together.

So one day, I decided that it was now or never. I called, booked an appointment went in and I froze. Without my friends I couldn’t sing. I did sing don’t get me wrong, I tried my ass off, I just couldn’t do as well as I could. Want to know what he said? Join a local choir, because I’m not worth any talent and that I have a voice for a back up singer and I could never make it big. With that single sentence my dreams were shattered so much that I can’t, find all the pieces to mend it together.

* Back Where We Left Off *

-          That’s what happened., I said after I finished telling Steve the story.

-          Why didn’t you tell me?, he told me as he gave a hug.

-          I didn’t want to remember… I wanted to forget…

-          Thank you for telling me., he said before he kissed my forehead.

-          No probs I guess?, I laughed.

-          I didn’t know you sung., Steve said while looking at me.

-          We all can. Karlie plays drums too, Bek plays guitar and Dee can play bass. Give me a guitar and the drums any day.

-          Multi talented!, Steve said grinning.

-          The bonus for forcing Karlie to do singing lesson. She taught me the drums. But seriously, listen to Karlie. She loves music, and playing it also. You go into her room that was before she moved into the garage and you will see a true talent.

I noticed that Steve became very happy after I told him what was bothering me for the past couple of months or weeks. Oh hell, I don’t even want to remember! But anyways, Steve gave me a little piece and quiet while I was studying my chemistry which was one of the hardest subject. Not easy to be the brain in the crew, man Karlie’s gonna kick me so hard if she found out I say that!

A couple of minutes, I came back into the living room, where Steve was, because I went into the kitchen to study. And we decided to go pay a little visit to Karlie’s place.

-          Guys please!, I said covering my eyes as I noticed Karlie and Ryan making out on top of her latest toy her corvette.

-          What?, she asked laughing.

-          Buffy told me., Steve said looking at Karlie.

-          She did… did she?, she asked while looking at me to see if it was ok.

-          Yeah., I said nodding my head.

-          Come on!, Karlie said undoing her overalls revealing a pair of short denim shorts and a singlet top.

-          Wish you would wear that at school., Ryan said looking at Karlie.

-          Shut up and get out of those if you’re coming!, Karlie said before opening the door to go into the house.

-          Look at the room!, Steve whistled while looking at the drums sets; the guitars; the bass and the keyboard.

-          Our little heaven!, Karlie said leaning on the wall.
