Chapter 8
Tess was outside waiting for Andrew and Monica. They got in the caddy and turned on the radio, 'Amazing grace' started playing. "Song number two?" asked Andrew "well, if you want to sing it" laughed Monica "seriously, it's up to you." "Ok it's our second song," replied Andrew.
When they arrived home they told Tess about the band. "they are a really good band, Tess, and we are thinking of doing a concert so they can get the chance to show people how good they are" said Monica as she made a cup of coffee. "Yes and they seem nice people too" replied Tess.
Monica drank her coffee and sat between her two friends. "We need to think of some songs for the band to perform in the concert. Have you got any ideas, Tess?" Monica asked, "Well, I think three songs would be enough and you have two already. I think you should ask the band tomorrow, they should know some good songs" replied Tess.
Meanwhile Tessa and Monique were trying to help Kathleen. They stood outside the cave and looked at the bars. "Ok how can we get her out?" asked Monique. "I don't know, but without her it's going to be harder to stop the angels helping the band!" replied Tessa
"Anyway what happened to them?" asked Monique "What do you think?" replied Tessa who was annoyed that the angels were Ok "they are all fine, Andrew helped Monica and Tess".
Kathleen had heard Tessa and Monique talking. She was still stunned at what Andrew had done to her. She didn't think an angel would do that. "Hey, Can you get me out" she shouted to Tessa and Kathleen. "We're trying" shouted Tessa who was trying to find a way in.
Monique found a loose bar and managed to get into the cave. "Kathleen" she shouted, "we've found a way to get you out". They walked towards the back of the cave and started to look for Kathleen. After looking for a while they found her and she looked terrible.
Kathleen told them what Andrew had done to her. "He did what!?!" screeched Monique "Ok well Andrew and Monica are planning a concert for the band, and we are going to try to stop it" added Tessa.
The following day Monica and Andrew told the band about the concert. "We thought it would be a good idea to have a concert, it's a good chance for people to hear your music" explained Andrew. "People don't want to hear our music," sighed Star "They do" he replied. "We were thought you could sing 'Amazing grace' and 'On the side of Angels', and another song that we were hoping you could think of" explained Monica.
"What about 'The Rose'?" suggested Gebe? "OK that would be a good song to do", replied Monica, "Do you know all three songs?" Yeah I think we do," she said "we sang 'The Rose' a while ago".
The band got to work on the songs while Monica helped Andrew to learn them. They got the CD's and lyrics and went in a small room in the back of the building. Monica sat on a chair and changed the CD's while Andrew sang.
Gebe and Jake worked out the backing vocals, Star worked on the Piano parts and Charity sat on the floor thinking, wondering if this concert would really be what the band needed. "Hey guys, do you think this concert well be good?" she asked, "Yeah I'm looking forward to it" smiled Star.
Star continued to work out the piano parts and was writing the notes on a piece of paper.
"That sounds terrible, Star" criticized Gebe "shut up, you can't say much" she replied "and Charity's guitar playing is just as bad" he continued. Charity turned around and stared at Gebe.
Charity got her guitar and left without telling the band where she was going.
Tess had joined the angels and was giving Andrew a singing lesson. Monica had gone to see how the band was doing. "Where is Charity?" she asked "I dunno, why are you asking me?" scowled Gebe "I don't give a damn where she is or what she's doing, as far as I'm concerned she can leave the band! "She's your friend," sighed Monica "SHE'S NOT!!!" screamed Gebe pointing his finger at Monica Jake and Star ran to get Andrew. "I won't tolerate this Gebe," warned Monica. "You have no right to talk to me like that, Charity has gone somewhere and you didn't even tell me?" Monica said, her voice full of anger. "I've told you I don't care about Charity anymore, she left ages ago!" He screamed.
Monica turned to see Tess and Andrew.
Andrew and Tess had heard the whole argument. "Miss Wings, come here," insisted Tess. Monica walked over to Tess. "Do you really think it was right to talk to Gebe like that?" she asked Monica. Monica looked straight at Tess and replied "Yes!" Tess hadn't expected that answer.
