Derak and Violet stop before they left the room and they turned back around. He thought about it and it wouldn't really hurt and he knew how Violet hated to just be lugged around. "Well..." Derak said and it was a little hard for him but when he looked at Violet and her eyes just lit up at the proposition and couldn't say no "Alright. If you want Vi you guys can hang out at the house but I've really got to get going if I'm going to make it to this meeting" he said grabbing his guitars and she bounced to the balls of her feet giving him a kiss "Yay, thank you" she said and he hugged her then headed out.
"So..." Violet turned around once Derak was gone "Sorry about him, he's just up tight sometimes and hardly lets me to anything" she said with a little bit of a laugh. "Would you guys like to hang at our place?"

Zeb watched how they interacted and Raven bounced out of her swivel chair and jumped into Zebs' arms and gave him a big kiss on the lips. Taking him back a bit as he wasn't expecting her to be informal in front of new people. He gave her a small kiss back then pushed her lightly off his lap. He nodded to Derak as he left and raven gave Violet a high five. "Sure-But we still have another audition for today-If you wanna stay around and listen to them? Then we could-And tonight- If Derek wants we can have band practice at Zeb's house...I'm sure your mom will love the new freinds for the band!" She said over excitedly. She knew it would get under the woman's skin to bring more people like her into the house. She knew that she talked bad about her to Zeb when they were alone and that she was a bad influence with the "band" but Zeb dind't really care. "Umm- sure I'm sure my mother would love to meet you Miss Violet. And we do have one more audition but its for a basses and a guitar group- a few teenagers from a private school..." Raven looked over a Violet she didn't want to scare her off because she was going to accept her into the group no matter what Zeb had to say-she was the boss.

Derak didn't feel right leaving Violet there but she wanted to stay he just hoped that nothing happened while he was at his meeting. He placed his guitars in the back and climbed into the truck. He quickly headed to the north end of town to stop by his office and that wasn't going to be that big of a problem. He just needed to grab a new folder that was meant for the meeting and then he would head back across town for the meeting.
"Hey Derak" a buddy called to him as he walked into the building "Hey Randy" he called back and kept walking as the guy came up next to him "how's your sister?" "She's good and still off limits" he said giving the guy a sideways glare "What a friend can't ask how another friend's sister is doing?" He shrugged his shoulders but Derak's glare never left "Not when it's coming from your mouth and I'm not here all night just to pick up a folder" he said walking into his office. Randy then walked off and Derak sighed with relief that he didn't bug him about Violet. He quickly grabbed the folder off his desk and headed back out of the building.
Violet was happy and she walked over to her keyboard "That's cool with me" she said with a smile, she would just play with hey keyboard till they were done. She leaned over and grabbed out headset so that she would disturb the others. "Wait..." Violet stopped as she sat on a stool "Band practice? So does that mean we're in the band?" Violet questioned as she was trying not to get overly excited.

Raven watched as she got out her head phones as she turned off hers and settled back into Zeb's arms. He wanted her there now-he was feeling slightly clingy as his medication made him feel dizzy sometimes and that made him clingy in case he fell. Zeb glanced at her when she asked about being in the band. "Of course-If Raven here didn't find you adequate enough she would have let you walk out with out a single question. She is a very comprehensive person-behind her childlike mannerisms. I agree with her that you have a very beautiful voice and"-He glanced at his phone-then back at her-"Derek has a good strong theme and I'd be happy to have you both play beside Raven and I." Little did Raven or Violet know but He was looking up personal information on both of them-he liked to have back ground information just in case there was any issues.

He was happy when he finally got into the room where the meeting would be held, this was going to make or break his boss' company and that would also affect him. He set up all the folders for the clients and then he sat at the head waiting for everyone to show up. All the while his mind kept wandering back onto Violet. He knew the moment that his mother had fostered Violet that he was going to be with her always. Derak was ecstatic the moment Vi told him that she wanted to be with him. Though by law she was his sister they weren't blood related and they both still had different last names. It was just that Vi's home life was never that good. Someone cleared there throat and Derak snapped out of his thoughts "Thank you for coming" Derak said as he shook hands with one of the possible business partners.
"Oh...well then thank you. I'm really excited and thankful that you like Derak and I" she said watching the two and it made her miss Derak a little bit but it was only an hour or two cause he never liked them to last longer. So she plugged in her headset and began to work on a little solo piece that she had been working on for two years.

Raven nodded but got distracted when her phone rang and it was the next audition group. She went to the door and waved them in. They were indeed a group of immature boys. They were throwing their instruments around like they were rocks. They set up and warmed up while Zeb was sitting with his head in his hands rubbing his temples as hew as getting a head ache from his meds-he had lots of side-effect. He hated having to take them all but it was necessary. They boys auditioned and raven said she would call them back with the answer in a weeks time since they had a lot of people to consider. Once they left she rolled her eyes and put little 'X's on the form that they had given her on how "awesome" they were as it was home made but forged by the look of it. "Well that was fun-but I'm beginning to think that its time to head off...You ready Violet? You can leave your Key board here if you want- we lock everything up good and tight." Zeb was feeling slightly ill and he grabbed onto Raven's hand and pulled her over to him and he whispered," I think I'm going to head off to my house and meet you there-I'm not feeling the best at the moment but I'm thinking that I need some rest..." She put both hands on his face and looked him over and smiled," Of course-We can do that.." She gave him a kiss," Raven- I'll take a taxi I think you can use the car..." She nodded and puller her phone out of her pocket and dialed a taxi for him.

Violet looked up from her keyboard and watched as the others left. She took off her head set and put it in her case. Violet got to her feet and then she stopped, Zeb didn't look that good and wondered if he was doing all that well. "Um...well maybe you should take Zeb home Raven. We can hang tomorrow or something but he doesn't look good" she said just trying to be considerate and not so pushy. Derak was telling her that she needed to work on that and right now was the perfect time. "I think Derak is going to be out of his meeting in a few anyways. I just need a lift home" she said as she packed up her keyboard. She didn't feel safe leaving it any where but in her possession but it was nice for Raven to offer that to her.

Raven looked at her then smiled as she closed her phone," Okay I guess that's okay- I don't think its too serious but If your okay with that then we can do that- here I'll pull the car up and we can put your key board in the car. But first- if you don't mind I'm going to help Zeb out there..." she said then got his car keys and left to pull the car up." Do you need any help? I can...Still help-I think.." He said in a very breathless manor. He didn't want to seem impolite. Raven left the doors open and called into see if she had gotten it packed up yet. Then she came in to get Zeb and helped him to wards the door. She felt bad about having him out after he took his hard medication. He was getting some where with the medication-she had to think positive with it-or it wouldn't do any good.

She nodded her head and watched as Raven left. She finished packing up and got to her feet at Zeb's words "No but thank you. I can handle it" she said and picked up her keyboard, it wasn't really that heavy so she didn't mind carrying it. She followed the two outside once Raven got back and waited for Raven to tell her what to do cause she was a little out of her comfort zone and was just worried about Zeb. He really didn't look to well and wondered what was wrong with him.
Derak was happy when the meeting was over but he wouldn't find out if they would be making the merge until next week. They wanted to think it over even though he thought his presentation was flawless. He still sighed and waited till everyone was gone before he left himself. Derak packed up his things and headed down to his truck, just tossing all the paperwork in the front seat. He really didn't feel like going back to the office so he just headed home. He wanted to see how the three were getting alone and what they thought of his home. Most wouldn't think that he lived in a place like that but he had inherited it from his grandfather when he passed away and his job helped with the upkeep of the house.

Raven smiled as she put Zeb in the car and buckled him up. "Don't worry about it- I popped the trunk so hop in." She said as she went around the car and opened the trunk for her and then got into the car to make sure that Zeb was okay. She had a feeling he was going to take a day or so to recover but it wouldn't be bad for long. Waiting for the door to shut she signed as she shifted the car into gear. "So how do I get to your house from here?"she asked confidently as she waited at the stop sign at the end of the street. She didn't want to be pushy but she never had patience-but Zeb was fine with waiting. Raven on the other hand always had a GPS that told her where to go and when;but she smiled in the rear view looking at her. She looked cute-a bit young but cute, that would do good for the band a cute older man, and a cute younger girl. and two in between...this could work nicely.

Violet climbed into the backseat and started out the window for a second trying to remember how to get to her place from here. She mostly liked using Derak’s GPS but she still knew her way around some places in town without it. “Um…you’ll make a right out onto the main street and you’ll stay on main street for seven blocks and then you’ll make a left” she said, she would just give her a few directions at a time cause it got pretty complex the closer they got to her house. Violet then wondered how Derak’s meeting was going.
Derak pulled into the garage wondering where they were at, he didn’t see a car out front or in the driveway and wondered if Vi was ok. He picked up all the paperwork that he had just tosses and then climbed out of the truck. Once inside the house he looked around for a bit wondering if Vi just went to lay down for a bit but she wasn’t in her room, he rubbed the back of his neck “That’s odd” he thought to himself as he made his way to his office to file away his paperwork. He was already too exhausted to even focus on anymore work. He would leave it for tomorrow and make sure that Violet was doing her work to get back into school.

Raven followed the directions she was given and Zeb was passed out in his seat.; it didn't take long. The directions were slightly hard to follow but she managed. Pulling to a stop in front of the house She put the car in park-Zeb jolted awake still looking pale. Popping the trunk she helped Violat get her key board and stuff out and carried them to the door. She felt bad that she had to carry the stuff alone. "Well today was fun! Thanks for staying and hanging out with us...and sorry Zeb got sick-Him and his brother switch spots sometimes to play the bass because Zeb gets sick. But it should be fine by tomorrow..."

Violet nodded her head when the car came to a stop but Raven’s words were odd. Zeb’s brother and him switched spots sometimes…did that mean that Zeb was a twin or did his brother just do him favors all the time. She let her questions slip to the back of her mind as she gave them both a smile and slide from the car grabbing her things. “Thanks again for the ride. I hope you feel better Zeb” and with that she turned and proceeded into the house.
Derak walked back into the living and walked into the kitchen to see what he should start making for snacks or maybe just dinner. He heard the front door open and a simple smile came to his face as he made his way back into the living room and saw just Violet walking into the house “Did plans change?” He questioned and Violet looked up at him startled a bit “Um…yea, Zeb got sick so I told them just to head home so that he could get to feeling better” Derak nodded his head and returned to the kitchen “Alright then what would you like for dinner?” Violet followed him into the kitchen and leaned up against the island “How about meatloaf…” he nodded his head and got to work.

Zeb waved at her hoping to keep his breath. Raven smiled and said bye. After they watched her go inside the house to make sure she got home-she pulled off towards the highway to Zebs' house. His mother was going to have a hissy fit that he was sick. "Well Is your brother home? Because if your still sick tomorrow your bro will be coming not you because last time you did that you were hospitalized for over a month-Stubborn ass." He cracked a smile, but his wheezing started up so he closed his eyes and just waited for the ride to be over. Once inside his mother met him at the door and was pale. "What did you do this time?" She fussed over him and practically took him out of Raven's reach. "I didn't take my meds on time is all- I'll be fine if I can just lay down for a while." His mother nodded and took him up the stairs to his room-with out raven-pointedly. She went down tot he basement where Zebs' brother usually hung out at after school. "Hey Josh- Can you cover for your bro tomorrow if he is still sick?" He looked up from his video game placing a hand over his gaming mic. "Yeah sure- what are we doing tomorrow? I gotta be on for attendance." He didn't look away from the screen as his finger typed furiously on the key boarded on his lap. "We are just rehearsing with the new members. We need the bass-can you covert that? I can get you a game card..." She tried to coax him. His back straightened up and he stopped typing for a few seconds," You got a deal. As long as you pick me up from school." "Deal little man- I"ll see you around lunch- I'll sign you out." He made a 'score' sign then went fight back into a conversation on his mic. about how a demon is less experience then a dragon. She went up stairs to Zebs' room next and sat next to him on the bed. "Are you really okay?" IT took him a few moments to answer as he was finishing off his breathing treatment. "Yes- I'm going to live. Did you find Josh?" She nodded her head as he leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Well I'm gonna head home- Its almost time for dinner." He watched her walk tot he door," You are gonna stop by tomorrow and see me right?" She smiled," Oh course. I gotta bring your brother home anyhow..." He nodded. At home her mom was asking how everything had went-she told her about her new friend then she took a bag of popped popcorn, and a can of soda to her room and passed out watching 'The Twilight Zone'. At about 3 am she got a phone call from Josh saying that Zeb had been admitted into the hospital because he was still having problem. She got up and dressed then left a not to her mom explaining what had happened and where she would be. Heading out to the hospital was easy it has getting past Zebs' hysterical mother that was the hard part.

Dinner went well as always cause Derak knew how to cook, she always enjoyed his cooking and they sat in the living room for a little bit just zoning out on the tv. "I think it's time for bed Vi, you've got a lot of work to do tomorrow and I have some calls to make tomorrow. Not to mention all the paperwork that I have to get done for this merger" Derak got to his feet with Violet groaning but with one look from Derak she was practically on the floor laughing her ass off. "Alright alright I'll go to the room but that doesn't mean I'm gonna be going to sleep" she gave him a very playful smile and then bolted off to the the room. Derak followed behind her giggling softly. He walked into the room just as she was changing and he walked up and wrapped his arms around her placing small kisses on her neck but he knew that if it went any further then she would be getting her way. So he just walked over to his side of the bed and stripped down to his boxers with Violet climbing into bed.
Morning came swiftly for Derak and like always he groaned as he got out of bed slipping on some slippers and trudged out of the room letting Violet sleep more. He walked into his office and sat down in front of his computer. He really just wanted to stay in bed and sleep in for once but it was hard being the only one bringing in money. But Derak couldn't ask Vi to get a job, for her he didn't mind working all the time as long as she stayed with him and kept him company. Which seemed to be working out well so far.
