But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

Ash's POV

I had returned home from grocery shopping for the guys and I to find that Silver was over. Well this is going to change dinner plans. I took the food items inside and began to put them away. Soon three figures had appeared in the kitchen, easily noticeable Silver, Paul and Drew. Gary was most likely out with Veronica since it was the middle of the day. We should be writing like we used to once I got back from getting the food, but ever since she came along everything has changed. It was never this way when he was with her, Leaf. Why did they need to leave and mess things up?

I had moved on from Misty. Sure she was probably the best girl, she had her faults though, loud, aggressive, and let's not forget short-tempered. Whenever I said something slightly irrelevant to the conversation I got smacked. I mean it's not my fault I'm comic relief, is it? I don't think it is; that is what I will stick to. Although, there is that part of me that still misses her, but I think everyone has that and that is why Gary got Veronica.

"Ash, explain to Silver how we aren't doing any shows until the tour starts. And how we decided this right after our meeting with him last month," Drew demanded, obviously not in a very good mood. What did Silver do this time? Lately he has been on edge about getting performances done and staying on top. We weren't even at the top yet, there were people way better than us out there and we knew that. Doing tons of performances won't get us anywhere with a new fan base, just get the ones we have more excited about more shows.

"Look Silver, we know that you want us to get better, but we need a break. It's been tour after tour and you just booked us with another one. We are taking the time off. I will do interviews but I refuse to perform." I stated before putting milk and juice in the fridge.

"I see, we will discuss this again later. You are just being stubborn like always." Silver said before slipping his shoes on and waving goodbye before heading out the door. I don't get him sometimes, he's great and all, but a big grump like Paul.

"Alright, now that that is over for now; I'm heading to the gym then I'm going to grab some guitar picks, since I can't find half of mine." Paul stated before taking an apple out of the bag I had just put on the island. He took a bite of the apple, and I noticed he had his headphones around his neck and his usual workout clothes on. He said bye before slamming the door shut. Huh, something must be up with him too.

"Alright Ashy-boy, whatcha making for dinner tonight?" ugh, Gary, and followed behind him, Veronica. Oh yay, now I need to get out of here. Mind you that explains why Paul slammed the door.

"Did you boys notice that plumy was a little angry?" Veronica asked in that stupid, squeaky voice of hers.

I mumbled under my breath so that only Drew and Gary could hear, "He was perfectly fine until he heard you."

"What was that?" Veronica asked, before I could respond, Gary dragged her off into the living room.

"Alright, we really need to find a way to get him to dump her. And this is urgent." Drew said sighing before grabbing a handful of grapes before I put them in the fridge.

I had finished putting the groceries away and Drew and I made plans so that when Paul returned home, we would discuss a plan for operation breakup. Okay I know, I did horrible naming the plan. I mean you can't blame me; these schemes are in my past. No matter what, I will not go back to my old ways, the way I was when I was with her. Nope, those days are gone and in the past. I can do this; it is only one thing for the sake of the band.

Time had passed and Silver had finally agreed to no performances. But my big mouth landed me in an interview instead. Silver was driving there and I just sat and watched the scenery pass by through the window.

We passed a forest and I noticed all the Deerling playing around in the grass. I forget that feeling, the feeling of being able to do what I wanted. Since we had this record deal all we've done is work on music and we didn't get to have a lot of fun. Actually now that I think about it; it wasn't until the girls left that this happened. The impact they had. They were the ones that accepted us for who we were and then we down right changed. I mean I changed so that I wasn't that same boy, I was now a man and acting like how I used to wouldn't do me any good would it. The same thing would happen again. I know it would, she would leave me, my love would just leave me there to rot. The others I'm not sure about, well Paul I just don't think he will accept it, since Dawn was the only girl he ever truly cared for and the whole group had actually managed to break the barrier of anti-social Paul. We were the best of friends and I didn't think it would ever change; man was I wrong.

Silver had stopped the car and I looked around. We were in a parking lot and silver was getting out, that must mean we're here I guess. I walked behind silver into the building and then into the stage where the interview would be filmed. The worker had begun setting me up with a mic and wire, and doing the make-up stuff they had to. This stuff feels so weird how can girls wear this every day?

A shove to my back was what set me out of me thoughts. I realized it was a crew member pushing me onto the stage for my interview, I need to learn to stop going into my own little world. Note to self, wait no stop that! Bad Ash! "It's great to have you here Ash; I can't believe that I actually have a member of Night Shade here on my stage today!" Carla Summers, the peppiest interviewer ever. Of course Silver would put me on this show; he knows how much each member of our band hates this chick. Payback for not doing shows, I see how it is Silver, well played, well played. I greeted Carla back trying to be just as peppy as she was.

The interview went on and a particular question had me think. "So how has life changed for you since you finished high school?" this actually had never been asked to any member of our band before. Let's see, people still care about looks, celebrities are just like popular kids, we are still the skater, rock band. You know it really hasn't changed a whole lot.

"Actually Carla that is a good question, thinking about it, there are many similarities, between high school and real life...if that makes any sense." I explained to her my thinking and she agreed with me to my surprise. Soon the interview had ended and so had the show, since I had to wait there until the end of it.

Turns out Carla actually acted all preppy on TV just to get the views, she was laidback and wasn't very girly at all. This is good news to me; maybe I could get a laugh whenever the show appeared on the TV. Whatever, I was excused from the set and then went to look for the car which Silver had told me he was going to go get from the lot. I walked outside and I noticed the car.

I sat down and buckled my seatbelt, silver told me I did well and didn't make myself look foolish this time. A guy messes up once and you never hear the end of it. I mean sure I might have accidently almost ruin the entire set of the show because Gary and I were messing around back stage and a bucket got stuck on my head. But that doesn't mean that it will keep happening. You only get a bucket stuck once, and then you learn how to get it off easily.

As we drove home I couldn't help but think of that question I had been asked. Sure life had changed, but I mean not a whole lot. There are still the sports players, the celebrities, and the rich kids, when you think about it. Huh, I guess that means it just keeps going...holy shit, this could break us out of our writers block! "I got it!" I screamed as Silver slammed on the brakes, causing me to fly forwards a bit.

"How many times do I need to tell you to not scream random outbursts while I'm driving?!" Silver shouted at me.

"Uhhh, you never have."

"It shouldn't need to be said, it is just implied." He glared at me. "You're home. So get out. I need to go back to the office and talk to the tour manager." I got out of the car and said my goodbye before running up the rather long driveway up to the house to go write down my ideas.

Alright there you have it another chapter of Angel Sky completed and uploaded. It feels good knowing that I will be able to post this regularly Once March come around; mid march. Although it is kind of awkward knowing that it won't be posted for another month or so. Oh well, got to do this for you guys.

Anyways for now goodbye and Review!
