Jason is so sweet. After we both got over the mini shock of Kim and Jack, we went to the movies to get out the rain. He paid despite my insistance that I could pay for my own ticket so I I insited that I pay for the snacks. Then we went to the arcade were we ran into Rider and Brent. We all hung out for a couple hours there before heading back to the condo.

"Has Dyland called any of you guys today?" Brent asked as he walked into the kitchen. JAson, Rider and I were there. Rider was cooking up something up in a pan. I had a late of vegitables in front of me that Jason and I were sharing. Brent's hair was slightly still wet from the shower he took when we got back.

"No, why?" Jason answered.

"He just called. He just got out of a meeting with Bobby. He said Bobby was really pissed, like really pissed."

"Why?" Rider asked. He dropped the spatula in the pan and turned suddenly. "He didn't find out about the tattoos did he?"

"No, thank goodness. He's mainly mad at Kim though."

"Why? What did she do?" I asked.

"She didn't tell him about her skipping the tour, did she?" Jason asked. Brent nodded.

"Yeah. Dyland let it slip accidentally. Bobby nearly flipped."

"Why is that bad?"

"We'll let Jason explain. Come on Rider. We have a date with a zombie." The two left the kitchen and jason started to explain.

"Bobby absolutly adores Kim, well not at first. But he grew to love her. At first he didn't like having a little kid bossing him around and telling him what and how to do things. But she was always right about everything. When we first got signed we where still really young like between 12 and 14. So when he had song writters writting for us he picked the songs like he did for every other client. Kim, being Kim got furious with what he was doing. She claimed he was trying to change us or someting.

He got so angry with her he just told her to manage us herself. So that's what she did. We were still technically signed so she had a acces to everything. She managed to get us to write and record two amazing songs in less then a week and get the word out about us to some small citiees acrosss the east and west coast. Bobby was reaally really peeved that a little girl that knew nothing about managing anything had acomplished as much as she did in the amount of time that she did. But she knew us and that's all that she really needed to know.

When Kim helped and got us to record enough songd for an EP he finally started to listen to what she had to say. He still didn't like her, in fact he hated her even more because she was doing his job better then she was and still keeping up with her normal life. She kept out of the lime light, gave all the credit for our fame to him and his record lable. But when he started micro managing us, setting up interveiws with magazines and trying to get us more known on a global basis it went in the opposite direction he wanted it to go. A local magazine in a small town outside of Philli just chalcked up to being a wanna-be's with no talent. Kim stepped in and called him out on it. He was literally shaking in his boots after being alone in his offfice with her for less than 10 minutes. That's when he started to fear her. She took complete control the band for a complete 4 months.

Writing, recording and then writing some more. Bobby was just the person that took care of the legal stuff. From the outside it would look like Kim was the boss and Bobby was her assistant. When Kim's mom found out after about 6 months what Kim was up to she actually laughed. After Kim put out the official EP and it reached #2 on the charts when when Bobby fully respected her. It was only 6 months after we got signed. He said it was the quickest jump into the light he has ever seen in a band our age that wasn't been on a talent show. She was pleased. No-one really find out how she did it with driving herself absoluly insane.

That's when Bobby actually started to like Kim. He took over as our manager again but listened to everything she said. He started doing little things like booking concerts and more of the legal shit while Kim took over more of the music stuff. She never allowed us to stray from who we actuallt where.

When Bobby said that he booked us on our first tour everyone was thrilled. When it started Bobby nearly went insain the the music. He never actully delf with any of our songs before, only what has been recorded and put EP and has been chosen to be on the album that was only half done at the time. Kim jumped in an had everything sorted out with what we would play and where. When that was done and we got back he nearly had a heart attack because Kim wouldn't be around to deal with the music since school was starting back up and she wouldn't be there much anymore. She managed to get the album done right before The flew back out to Seaford for school. That's when he started to really like her. She flew out for every vacation, summer and long weekend. Managing to still keep her GPA over a 3.5 was a merical and he adored her for it. When Bobby had a do our second tour he made she it wouldn't interfear with Kim being in school just so she could be there for all the music and junk that he knew nothing about with us. By the end of our second tour Bobby loved Kim. He couldn't live without her. He still knew very little about the music that we made since she refused to let him have any say in what we did because he said that he would most likle mess it up.

Our next tour is four next summer and Bobby is freaking out. Kim said she didn't want to go. Kim wanted to fly to London for a vacation. Last time she was there was for work but she wanted to go sight seeing. Bobby is really pissed that she wants to do that. He might actually have a heart attack if she doesn't go." Jason finish and stuffed a carrot stick in his mouth.

"Damn." I said. "Kim is way more awesome than I thought." And I thought I was good at multitasking. Kim puts everyother multitasker to shame. I ned to congradlate her next time I see her.

"Yeah. She is seriously a natural prooducer when it comes to us. I wouldn't put it past Bobby to come here to just to beg Kim to hold out one year and beg her to stay." His humorous tone welcomed. I relised I loved hearing about the bands history. It was actually interesting. It wasn't like others. Others didn't basicly get managed my a 13 year old girl who could make a miltimillionair quaking in their boots.

"How is it that Kim could get one of the most powerfull and feared people in the music buisness scared and in need of her but she still gets pushed around by Lindsey?" He shrugged.

"She's always wanted to eep her band life and normal life seperate. I guess she figured pulling the manager out of her all of a sudden would somehow combine the two." His smile grew in a matter of seconds. From happy to playful. He grabbed me hand ad lightly tugged me from my seat as he stood.

"What are you doing?" I couldn't help but laugh.

"We..." He lightly pulled again. "Are going to kill some zonbie with our friends." My laghter grew louder as he pulled me throught the condo to one of the boys rooms.
