Chapter Four

A week later was Adrianna's big debut with The Glorious Steinems. Sure, they had played in front of a small group at school, but that was nothing compared to the number of people that were supposed to be there tonight. Part of her was nervous but she was also crazy excited.

Gia had driven her and her band mates back to the school that night to pick up their instruments. When they reached the building the doors were locked. Frustration quickly spread through the girls as they thought they were completely screwed. Almost immediately, they band mates started to bicker. That's when Gia had suggested that they go in through the roof. While the other girls ran around to the side of the building Adrianna started to follow with Gia.

"Uhm, You are a genius." Adrianna said relieved.

"Just you're number one groupie"

"Aw"

Gia pulled her girlfriend towards her saying "Come here," with the intention of kissing her. Cat chose that moment to run back around the corner telling the girls to hurry up.

Adrianna pulled away from the 'almost' kiss not wanting Cat to catch them.

Gia just looked at Adrianna. It hurt that her girlfriend still couldn't even kiss her when someone else was around.

"Oh," Gia said, clearly hurt.

"Gia" Adrianna said, wanted to plead with Gia so she understood.

"Whatever," Gia said rolling her eyes and walking to catch up with the rest of the girls.

Adrianna paused, watching her girlfriend walk away upset, before following.

The six girls managed to get up the fire escape and into the court yard without any trouble. It wasn't until they were heading out with the instruments that Adrianna tried to talk to Gia.

"Are you still mad?" she asked.

"I'm not mad, I just didn't realize we were still keeping this a secret," Gia explained, clearly upset.

"I didn't either. I just-I guess I'm just not ready for people to know yet."

"Awesome," said Gia, her response dripping with sarcasm.

"Gia, I'm sorry. I'm still trying to figure this thing out."

"Okay, step one: stop calling it 'this thing'."

The two girls rounded the corner of the courtyard to find Adrianna's band mates staring up at the wall a little perplexed.

"Uhm, you guys..." said Lila.

"So how are we supposed to get over the wall with our instruments?" Cat asked a little confused.

"Uhm," Gia responded with a grimace, "I hadn't thought that far ahead."

All six girls just stared at the wall wondering how the hell they were supposed to get out.

"Oh! Why don't were just go out the doors?" asked Lila.

"They're locked?" answered Cat who was wondering if Lila had at all paid attention to the fact that they had to climb a fire escape to get it.

"Yeah, but they are locked from they inside so they should open," she explained.

"Well," said Gia, "it's better than sitting here."

With that the girls picked the instruments and headed towards the door.

An alarm rang as soon as they pushed the door open and the girls screamed and raced to get all of the equipment into the van.

The girls were full of excitement and being total bad asses and breaking out of the school. They jumped into the van with shouts of "Yes!" and "We did it!"

Adrianna turned to Gia in excitement to give her a high five. She stopped when she saw the look on Gia's face.

"Oh, can we do that in public?" Gia asked accusingly.

Adrianna just sat back in her seat wondering why Gia was still so mad at her. Luckily, none of the other girls noticed the upset between the two girls up front.

Gia hadn't talked to Adrianna since they had gotten in the van. The girls arrived at the set and got themselves together, doing their make-up, hair and changing there clothes. While the other girls finished up their make up, Cat and Adrianna peeked through the curtain at all the people that were waiting for the show to begin. Lila turned around and immediately saw the anxiety in Adrianna's face.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Aid, what's wrong?" chimed Hannah

"I can't do this," Adrianna explained with fear in her eyes.

"What are you talking about?" Liv asked, worried.

"I've never sung in front of a crowd like this," Adrianna anxiously explained. "And I can't even take a drink to calm down."

Gia stood off to the side of the stage watching her girlfriend. She watched Adrianna as she freaked out. She wanted so bad to just run up behind her and wrap her arms around her and tell her that she would totally kick ass, but she didn't move. It's not like she didn't understand Adrianna's need for a drink either, if anyone understood that relentless craving, it was her, but the red head was still upset about earlier. She really liked Adrianna and she made her really happy and that's why she wanted everyone to know about them and she just didn't get why Aid wouldn't want the same. So, instead of engulfing the brunette in a hug and telling her that she could do it, she stayed rooted where she was.

"Don't worry, Aid, you're gunna be amazing," Cat said trying to comfort her friend.

"No. I'm sorry. I just can't do this." Adrianna was freaking out.

"What do you mean you can't?" Cat asked, hoping she was missing something.

"I just can't," Adrianna said, fidgeting with her hands.

Lila took hold of her hands. "Alright girl, you can do this. We are gunna be right behind you. You just gotta face your fears. Don't think about who's watching." Lila coaxed, trying to calm her.

Adrianna pulled her hands away. "I'm sorry," she repeated. "Sing in my place. Please."

"No way" said Liv, refusing to take that. "We're a band. Alright? It's all for one. And all that crap," she said as she put her arm around the nervous singer.

Her band mates nodded in agreement.

"She's right" chimed Lila. "We do this together or we don't do it at all"

"Guys, come on," pleaded Adrianna.

"Not a chance. There'll be plenty of other gigs" Cat explained. "The important thing is that we stick together."

Adrianna looked at the other girls expectantly.

"Put away the puppy dog eyes," Liv commanded. "We're not gunna rock this bitch without you."

Adrianna looked at all of her band mates, knowing that she couldn't let them down.

The girls took the stage to loud cheers from the audience. Adrianna tentatively walked towards the mic. She could see Silver, Liam, Teddy, Dixon and Naomi in the back cheering for her and she smiled a little. But she still had no idea how she was gunna pull this off. She knew that if she were to look off stage to the left she'd she Gia there, even though she had really hurt the beautiful red-head earlier. She had to fight to keep her knees from buckling. The girls started playing and she started to sing, looking at the faces around her, judging their reactions. She realized that she wasn't getting booed off stage and they really seemed to like the music. Adrianna smiled at this as she loosened up and relaxed a little.

By the end of their set Adrianna had completely relaxed and was having so much fun. 'So this is what it's like to face your fears' she thought as she smiled and bowed to the crowd. She was beaming from their cheers and yells for her and the band. To her left, Gia smiled and clapped for her. Turns out Gia couldn't help but be terribly proud of Adrianna. She walked to the side of the stage and walked up to Gia.

"Aid, I'm sorry, I was being stupid and I'll wait for you for as long as you need and you were absolutely amazing,' Gia rambled before Adrianna cut her off with a kiss. In front of everyone.

Gia looked taken aback but was definitely not complaining.

"I thought we were still trying to figure this thing out," she asked, a tad confused.

"I just had to face my fears, and not worry about who's watching." Adrianna explained.

"And don't call it this thing," she said, poking her girlfriend in the chest.

The girls kissed again and put their arms around each other as they walked off stage, leaving the rest of The Glorious Steinems to receive the cheers from the audience.

"You were amazing, Aid," Gia gushed.

"Yeah?" Adrianna asked shyly.

"Most definitely. I am so, so proud of you. You do realize that now you're gunna have a whole bunch of groupies, right?" Gia teased.

"Well, yeah that's bound to happen. It's not my fault people totally love us," Adrianna said smiling.

"Oh I think it definitely is your fault. I mean, you can't really blame them for totally adoring you. I guess I'll be reduced to fighting for your attention now that you have all of these followers," Gia joked.

Adrianna turned to look at Gia. "You will always by my favorite groupie," she promised as she captured Gia's lips with her own.

"Aid, you totally kicked ass," Liv praised as she dragged her drums off the stage.

"And you were nervous, why?" laughed Lila.

"Thanks guys" Adrianna blushed

Gia looked at Adrianna and smiled. She couldn't help but think Adrianna was absolutely adorable when she blushed.

"Anyone gunna help me with this keyboard?" Hannah asked, still on the stage. "P.S., Aid, you did awesome. And that was a pretty hot lip lock if I do say so."

The girls laughed and finished packing up the instruments.

the rest of their (adrianna and gia) night will be continued in the next chapter. remember, i love reviews, they keep me going =]
