"Hey. Did y'all miss me?" Freddy said jokingly as he and Kaydan enter the
room, "Everyone this is Kaydan Markham, she just moved here."
"Hi, nice to meet you, Kaydan. Freddy, where the hell were you? You're a fucking hour late," Dewey said angrily.
"I'm sorry that's my fault. I was driving but I needed to stop and pick up something," Kaydan replied with sorry sounding tone, "So, who is everyone?" And just as she finished saying that, Freddy handing her his drum sticks and winked. She grinned and set off to play.
"What's going on? Why is she going to drums...?" Dewey began.
"Anyways, that's Katie on bass, Zack on guitar, and Lawrence on keyboards. Alicia, Marta and Tomika all sing back up. Summer over there is the manager and of course the big guy is Dewey or Mr.S," Freddy interrupted, "Can Kaydan play for me? Or at least for some of the time?"
"Absolutely not Freddy. You know the drill." Dewey stated
"What the No Outside people allowed at practice drill?" He retorted, " Kaydan isn't outside people. She's here with me."
"She needs to leave Fredrick. And you need to play," Dewey said
"Then I'm going with her," Freddy shot back, "And don't ever call me Fredrick again."
While all this was going on, Summer sat there, totally unaware that Freddy just left, typing a message to Katie:
To: bass-girl From: lil-manager Subject: Freddy Message: Katie, I think I'm going to tell him how I feel. I can't hold it in much longer. Let me know what you think.
Summer
"Get back here Fredrick!" Dewey shouted, but it was too late. The only sound to be heard was silence.
Outside the studio, Freddy sat with Kaydan in her car. He notices that she is no longer smiling; in fact it looks like she was going to scream. A few more minutes of silence passed.
"What's wrong?" Freddy finally says, breaking the silence.
"Nothing," She replied, "You don't have to come with me, if you don't want to."
"I want to, Kaydan. I'll make it up to Dewey later," Freddy told her, "Wherever you go, I'm coming with you."
"If you want to," Kaydan replied. Freddy sat there waiting, wanting to see her smile but that didn't happen.
As the band, stood there in awe of what just happened, no one knew or really could explain why. That was totally out of character for Freddy. Summer was angry, and everyone else was silent. They were quiet for several more minutes, before Dewey broke the silence.
"Where is he going?" Dewey said finally, "We can't practice without him."
"Sure we can. He wanted to ditch us so that's his problem not ours," Summer stated, "We have the drum lines he recorded, so lets use those."
"That's besides the point. He needs to practice," Zack added to Dewey's comment, "I say we go find him."
