As the elevator door slid open she took a deep breath of air coming from the vent out side of the ICU doors. Inside smelled like cleaners, anti-septic, and medications. It was as pure hospital as it came. The hysterical mother was passed out in the side waiting room, 'thank god.' she thought to herself. Inside she peeked to she his little brother talking to him. "So I see you drugged your mother. Nice job. How are your doing babe?" She asked Zeb, he smiled when he saw her. "Well-Its nice to see you. Sorry for waking you up. Since you have a set tonight. By the way did you tell Derek and Violet yet about the upcoming set this weekend-its only 2 days away." She thought about it for a second then shook her head," No I didn't tell them yet- I figured it would have been over whelming..." He looked at her as she gave him a kiss on the cheek and Josh making a gross face when they kissed. "I'll call them in like an hour of so-at a normal hour...You got his number right?" He nodded as he used the button to sit the bed up a bit more so he could talk more.
An hour and a half later...
She dialed the number Zeb had given her before he went to sleep, his crazy mother having woke up and demanded that she leave and he get some sleep. Josh sitting next to her in the car waiting for her to take them to the studio for him to practice what he was going to be playing int he possible set. It rang once....twice... She was hoping that Derak would answer that that she didn't wake them up, that was always rude to do.

Derak stared at his computer for a little bit longer before he got started on the paperwork, though it wasn’t like there was much to do it was just boring and tedious. But once that was finished he printed them off and faxed copies to his work with instructions for his secretary. He would be in later that day to finish all the signing but for now he got up and started to walk out of his office. Before he could get any further from the room the phone started to go off. Curious as to who could be calling this early he walked over and picked up the phone “hello?” He answered walking out of the room and into the kitchen.

"Hey Derek, It's Raven, I was wanting to let you know- ans I'm so sorry for the short notice but if it's too much you don't have too but we have been invited to play a set this weekend at a club. Its in two days, I'm taking Josh- Zeb's lil bro over tot eh studio now to practice, If you want or need to work I can pick up violet or if she is at school its cool. Zeb is off today- private school and all..." She said Zeb sighed when she mentioned school, and looked out the window- he hated school because he was a bit odd there. Raven was hoping they could however she didn't want to bring things like this up on short notice, it was rude.
((you getting back into the full swing of posting again? lol))

Derak was a little surprised that shew as calling this early but it was a good reason to be calling. However he didn't want Violet skipping anymore of her classes "Well Violet has a couple of classes today but they aren't that long. How about you pick her up after school, I'm sure she will enjoy practicing with you guys. As for myself I have to be at work late, so if you want to send the sheet music for the songs we will be playing home with Violet I will look them over after work and practice." He told her opening the fridge and grabbed out a couple of items for breakfast. He would have to get Violet up for school soon if she was going to be on time today and he needed to get to work before he pissed his boss off yet again. "Does that work for you?" He asked hoping that it would be ok. (Sort of lol. I have just really been wanting to continue these and since I have the time right now I thought why not start them back up

((Cool, sorry it took so long to respond, I was on a trip with VERY VERY slow internet XD it was killing me )) "Sounds great- I'll make some copies for ya in case you wanna change some things too if they don't work for ya. I'll shoot you a text message when I pick up violet. alright talk to ya later-bye." She said hanging up and resumed driving. She loved practicing and so did Zeb and his little brother- they were a musically inclined group and the practically just adopted two more similar to them, it was great. Smiling she turned the music in the car up louder so she could sing to it to annoy her passenger. "Now I see why my brother ends up in the hospital- he has to listen tot hat." He joked earning a swat from Raven. "Punk-see if I save you from your mother next time." At the studio, she pulled everything out and started setting up speakers and such like it would be at the concert set to make it feel a bit better, Like the real thing. Josh got out his bass and started fingering threw some scales to warm up his fingers it had been a few days since he had played last. "Ready to try this one? Its our newer one that the manager liked the sound of-so we gotta play it." got it he fingered threw some lines and smiled," This shouldn't be too had- until the bridge- what is this-D-then a G? " She smiled at him "Your music is upside down silly." He looked at it and realized it was in fact upside down scowling at her he flipped it over and figured out why it had sounded minor for a bit. She smiled at him, taking a seat at her set, making sure everything was tuned just right.

“Alright, bye” He told her and then started on breakfast. Just a simple meal for today and once that was done he set the table and then walked back into the room. He walked over to her side of the bed and pulled the blankets back “Vi, it’s time to get up. You have about an hour and a half before I take you to school” he told her and walked into their bathroom. He started to setup everything for her when she got up and then grabbed their bathroom cup and filled it a little. Derak walked back into the bedroom and up to her, she still hadn’t moved an inch. “One last chance Violet” he told her and she just tried to pull the blankets back up over her head “Alright I warned you” He said and stuck his fingers in the cup of water and then flicked the water into her face. “Holy crap!” Violet screamed and sat upright “Did you put ice in the water or something” he chuckled a bit and then walked back into the bathroom and set the cup on the counter “alright, you have an 45 minutes to get ready and 15 minutes to eat before I’m leaving. Either be ready or you are gonna have to take the city bus to school”
Derak then left the room to return to his breakfast and read the morning paper though once he got back downstairs Violet called to him “But I think I might be coming down with something” she whined and he just groaned “Alright then. I’ll call your teachers and let them know you can’t make it and then I’ll call Raven and tell her that you won’t be able to come to practice today” he called back to her and Violet was at the top of the stairs “We have practice today?” She squealed in happiness. “Only if you stop complaining and go to school today. I told Raven that it was ok to pick you up after your classes to join her for practice” Violet squealed again and ran back into the bedroom to get ready. Derak just shook his head and sat down at the table.

At lunch Josh took a nap- he was tired- so he was taking a break- Raven was practicing some new stuff she was thinking about showing the others tonight for a later date- she was working on a beat that sounded 'wicked'- according to Josh. Smiling to herself she put her sticks down taking an other bite of her sandwich- having gone to subway for lunch they were set. She glanced at her watch seeing she had about an hour before she had to go get Violet she took a sip of soda. "Josh!?" She hollered over her extremely loud music in her head phones. He about fell off of the couch he was snoozing on "What?! Stop feakin' yelling!" He said looking clearly startled. "Sorry, Head phones were on- I am gonna head out to go get Violet- you wanna stay here and watch everything?" "Sure...just don't yell I swear your kids are gonna be deaf and miserable mutants " He said and ducked as the expected soda flew just past his head. Hitting the wall and it went about every where. "Watch your mouth punk- Clean hat up while I'm out. Be back.." She left and hopped into her car, then map quested her school- finding it was fairly close only 20 minutes away. She arrived and parked with the other moms in the car pull lane, a few had gotten out to chat and she didn't like the looks she was getting so she got out of the car and leaned against it. She couldn't clearly see them muttering and looking at her like she was going to kidnap their kids or try to get them to do drugs. She hated soccer moms. One straitened up their shirt and came over to her- her 'friends' aka the other soccer moms forced her over to talk tot eh renegade apparently. "Hello, whose' mother are you? Or are you a sibling?" She asked in a proper 'mother' voice she rolled her eyes,"Look I'm here to pick up my friend- shove off. You and your soccer mom brigade." Her voice was calm but she really hated soccer moms-they reminded her of Zeb's crazy mother. The school bell rang dismissing students and they started out of the doors like a flood of rats. The woman stood there looking rather taken a back like she had been slapped in the face. They stood there looking at each other like something was about to happen but it wasn't but if it did-= she knew she was going to win- she had the metal in her wrist- she could punch like a mad man- hot really having issues with scrapping in a skirt.

Violet sat in her last class bouncing her leg up and down. Her things were already packed up and she just wanted to get out of here so that she could go and practice. Music was her passion and she hated school. If she had it her way she would have just gotten her GED and been done with it.
A few seconds before the bell rang she was out of her seat and out the door with the teacher calling after her. She didn't care cause the bell went off not a second after she was already out of the classroom. Violet hurried through the halls, weaving in and out of students who mingled after school.
Finally she was outside looking around for Raven's car but it was already so crowded with students and parents that she had to get on a bench near by just to see over everyone's head and then her breath caught. The moms of some younger kids were surrounding her and that was never a good sign. Violet jumped from the bench and made a mad dash for the parking lot and then slid to a stop in the middle of Raven and the moms. "Now now. There's no need to get all testy with each other. I'm sure this was a miss understanding between the parties here and my friend Raven was just picking me up cause my brother is really slammed at work this week" she explained with a little bit of a lie.
The moms looked at her and then at Raven and Violet hoped that things weren't going to escalate. She knew that things were bad before when Derak had picked her the first couple of times. It took them a few but the moms finally dispersed when their kids started showing up and Violet breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "Well now that looked like fun" she said with a sort of giggle when she turned around to Raven. "So ready to go?" She asked hoping to get of here as soon as possible.

Ravyn spit on the ground not really caring what these freaks thought but a smile came to her face when Violet showed up threw the crowd of freaks. "Hey- took ya long enough." She said getting into her car, unlocking the doors for Violet. "Lets get going- before they try to give me makeup tips..." She said more as a joke since they barely had make up on and it was of neutral shades not black or any thing awesome just blah- some really. "Sorry about them though- they kinda started it..."

Vi was glad when they got in the car and headed off of the campus. She really didn't want to deal with a fight with the soccer moms and having to explain to her principal that it was a misunderstanding with one of her band mates. That would be another thing to explain that she was in a band and then the lecture would start that she had already gotten from Derak. "I have no doubt they started it" she said giving her a smile. "So what are we practicing today?"

Smiling she looked over at Violet. "We are gonna do a deep bass with a enchanting melody overlay, no drums I don't know the words yet but we can work on it. The next one is a guitar mostly one any how it has some bass but there is a small bass line and a bit of piano- and soft drumming I'm thinking. Nothing too hard core tonight..." She laughed at herself a bit she kinda missed Zeb and his pessimistic view on things however she always got a kick out of it. Pulling up the the studio she parked and got out opening the door for Vi, she yelled out for Zeb's little brother. "Hey twerp?! where you at?" His head popped up from the front of the couch- he was laying across it with a sports illustrated magazine in his lap, the bathing suits on the front was quite obvious. "Looking at something your mother is going to kill me for...great." "No she won't She don't gotta know. Its all fine."

Violet listened to her talk as they pulled up to the rehearsal place and got out of the car "Well it sounds good to me" she said though hearing it she would be able to give a better opinion. She also had to remind herself that this was a new band to her and she needed to keep an ear out to see if it will really work out. Once inside the building Ravyn started talking to someone and she had to peer around her to see who. With the conversation going on she couldn't help but giggle softly but she quickly straightened her expression and walked up to him "I'm Violet" she said holding out her hand.
Work wasn't as easy as Derak thought it was going to be, there was still a lot of paperwork that the others hadn't gotten done. Plus there were a lot of copies that still needed to be made and they were waiting on the forms from the other company "Seriously. I take one day off and you people can't seem to keep your shit together" he screamed from his office and after that he saw several people scamper off and others running around trying to get things together. "We have exactly two hours to get everything together and then I will be meeting with the other company rep. Let's get it together people" he called once again as he walked away from his desk with several folders in hand. Derak walked up to his secretary "I need you to run these done to the copy room and get five copies of each paper" he told her as he handed her two folders. "Right away sir" she said quietly and then took off. He sighed heavily running a hand over his face "You'll get it done Derak. I have faith in you" someone said to him as they patted his back. His eyes slowly turned to the side and then he moved his body to face the other person "Thank you boss but I seriously need a better crew. This shit can't keep happening." All his boss did was smile and then walk away 'thanks for the help' he thought sarcastically and headed back into his office.

Josh stood up and looked the girl over, pushing up his glasses he smiled shaking her hand," Josh- I'm Zeb's little brother." Sitting back down he threw the book on the table and picked up his bass picking threw the few notes at a time as he looked over the music yet again. He glanced up a few times at Violet he didn't know how old her was but she seemed nice- and around his age perhaps. 'My brother sure hangs out with some weird people' He thought to himself. Raven came in and smiled at the two getting along. he plopped back into her swivel seat and picked up her sticks, hitting a few drum heads to get some noise and get the feel. "Violet you can listen with my head phone to the song parts we got so far. okay?" He said handing her head phone to her, she had put a splitter so she put another pair on her own head so she could practice them herself. "Just press play."

Violet gave him a smile and then turned to Ravyn as she spoke. Listening to the music would help her get a feel for the rhythm of their music. She nodded her head and walked over to her drums taking the headphones from her. She pulled up a stool and placed the headphones on. She sat down and then pressed play. Violet closed her eyes as she listened to the music.
Derak was in his office rubbing his temples trying to get himself to relax though it wasn't helping. He swiveled around just as his secretary walking in "Here are those copies that you wanted" "Thank you" he said feeling a little better about the situation and then she quickly left. He separated each copy and put them into individual folders. He walked out of his office and headed towards the elevator "Derak!" Someone called as he was getting on the elevator and then a hand stopped the doors closing "here are those documents you wanted" Derak glared at the guy but then took them and the guy scurried away from him.
