Speed never took the time to unpack all the stuff that he was going to take with him to California, so a few weeks later he finally did. As he took out his keyboard, he ran his hands over the keys, and then put it along with his guitars and sheet music away. His dreams would have to be put on hold.
"Are you sure you really want to leave the band, Red?" Kyle asked.
"I don't want to, but I need to be alone. I just need to get away, to be able to forget about him."
"Dude, with you and Speed gone, we're just," he paused. "The Mind Explosion." They just looked at him.
"Where are you gonna go?" Mason asked concerned, and trying to ignore Wally's comment.
Jude sighed. "I don't know." She started crying as her three best friends hugged her. They had taken care of her until then, but she had to do things on her own now.
The next morning Jude woke up in an old woman's house that took her in in the middle of the night.
"I don't know how to thank you. But I don't think I have to give you anything in return, except for this." She gave her the drawing she made of the band, which was now painted in.
"Don't worry about it, dear. It was a pleasure. And this is absolutely beautiful. It'll go lovely in the family room."
Speed spent the night before and morning of his wedding to Karma getting drunk. Right before the wedding, Karma's sister found him outside the church holding a half empty bottle of vodka.
"Hey, enough of that. The wedding's about to start."
Karma walked down the aisle with her father, looking beautiful, but Speed just couldn't bear to look at her knowing that she was the reason he was so unhappy. Maybe if he didn't look at her, he would be able to go through with the wedding. Not like he had a choice or anything.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Vincent Spiederman and Karma Benitez." Speed started to feel sick and looked around for an exit.
"Speed, Speed where are you going?" She just wouldn't let go of him. "Where are you go-" Before she could finish the question she started yelling when he vomited all over her dress. "Speed! What are you doing? What is this?" She continued to yell as everyone stared and gasped in shock.
After Speed stopped and was able to stand up properly Karma asked, "What's happening to you?"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Brandon Spiederman could never of been more angry or disappointed at his son.
