A couple of days after the shopping fiasco, three-fourths of the quartet had awaited for Johnny to return. They had sent him out on a beer run, since he had to go and pick up someone at the airport anyway.
"Shouldn't he be back by now?" asked Ember, sounding slightly worried.
"Can't have your man away from you for more than a second now can you?" spat Lex, sounding uncharacteristically venomous.
"What's your problem?" Ember spat back, slighty more aggressively than she had wanted.
Lex just snorted and stuffed his head into another magazine. "Nothing."
Before she could question him further, she heard the door knob turn. She jumped out of her seat to greet Johnny with a big hug.
"Hey Em."
Ember looked up and smiled at him. Lex snorted again, causing her to swing around and glare at him. She then put her attention back on Johnny. "What took so long?"
"I told you. I had to pick up a good friend of mine. We were… catching up."
The slight pause made her suspicious. "Oh, so where is your… friend."
Before he could open his mouth to reply, a high voice came from the motel hall way.
"Johnny!"
A girl in hooker like clothing came running to him, eveloping Johnny in a hug. She had a red leather jacket and skirt, a black tube top, and heels. She also had green hair.
Ember could barely speak. "So… who's your friend?"
The hookeresque woman kissed Johnny on the cheeks. "I'm Kitty, his girlfriend. Who are you?"
Ember stuttered, trying to think of what she could possibly say. "I, I- um, I,"
Johnny interrupted her, "That's Amber, Kitty. She's the singer."
Kitty nodded uninterestedly and left the crowd to put her suitcase away.
The blue-haired singer looked up at him, hugging herself tightly. "My name's Ember… Johnny.
He merely shrugged. "You never told me you had a girlfriend."
He looked down at her. "Sorry. I didn't think it was something I should be broadcasting."
Ember clenched her arms, making her nails dig into her skin. "Well it is. Maybe you could have told me before-"
"Oo! Look at this. Hey uh, Amber! Can I have these?"
She turned around to find Kitty holding up a pair of fishnet stockings, the ones she wore to the audition.
Ember was too angry to really care. "Yeah. Sure. And my names Ember."
"Whatever."
Ember then reverted her attention back on Johnny. "You could have told me… before we had sex."
"What? You didn't enjoy it?"
She began fuming. "You made me a mistress. No, I didn't!"
"Your moaning said otherwise!"
"Shut up you pig! I love you!"
Johnny was struck slightly-very slightly- then shook his head. "I love you too, Ember. You're like a sister to me."
"A sister?"
He nodded, "Yeah. You're the little sister I never had."
Ember had no time to yell. Before she could, Johnny hit the ground, Lex's fist looming over him.
