Julliard School of Music
The music only seemed right in her ears, the bass guitar was right on cue, the drums where perfect, the guitar was the right tone and the vocals where the best part of it all. Abby smiled as she worked on her latest assignment for Mr. Leon. He said it was to be her master piece; Abby called it another song that he could tell her it was awesome then ask her again to sign with the record label. A knock came to the studio door but Abby didn't hear it over her head phones glued to her ears. Josh smiled as he walked into the studio closing the door behind him. He slowly wrapped his arms around her small shoulders from behind and kissed her neck. She smiled and took off the head phones and kissed a part of his forearm that was closest to her lips "hey" she whispered as if the room would collapse if she spoke to loudly
"Hey baby" he kissed her once more "what are you working on to make it such a late night?"
"A big project on classical art in modern music" she smiled proud of her work
Josh smiled and held onto her tighter "and how does this one sound Mozart"
A giggle parted her lips "well this one is…perfect" she turned in his arms
"As always" he re-wrapped his arms around waist
"Yes I know I'm the best" she airily laughed
"Can I hear it?" he asked in a whisper
Abby hesitantly walked over to the volume control never wanting to pull away from him. She pulled out her head phones and let the slow tempo of the song ring throughout the small studio. Josh smiled and pulled Abby back to him starting to sway back and forth with the music. It was another one of there perfect moments that he wished could never end.
Hayley and Gareth's apartment
They both sat panting tired from Hayley beating Gareth up for the mattress that none of them wished to sleep on. Gareth's laugh seemed to full the room as it mixed with Hayley's "I told you I'd get the mattress" she laughed "now go to yours I have to get to sleep for work tomorrow"
"Like I said before I'm not letting you sleep on a crappy old mattress that no one should ever sleep on" his head laid down beside Hayley's as there feet stayed on the cold floor
She sighed "fine, I'll sleep on the futon"
"Futon" he lifted his head as she walked to the couch "you didn't tell me it was a futon"
"Too late you wanted that mattress so bad" she swayed her hips on purpose while she walked to the futon
He let out a chuckle and laid his head back down on the mattress after taking his t-shirt "you know I love whoever invented indoor heat"
Hayley laughed as she dressed in a black tank top and a pair of girly boxers. She looked at his strong form on the mattress and decided she would get her way no matter what, being stubborn was life to her. Her legs slowly carried her to the mattress before she crouched by it "guess what, I get the mattress" she whispered
Hayley rolled onto the bed and laid down beside Gareth just far enough not to be touching him. Gareth chuckled and tensed a bit "you know I'm a little cold" he whispered over at her
"Sorry flash can't help you there" she whispered back at him as she curled up into a ball
"Oh but you can" he rolled over to her and wrapped his arms around her small form "see"
Hayley's eye popped open but she didn't protest against his actions, she was kinda cold too. They both lay silently and drifted into a dream filled sleep.
Matt, Elektra and Lily's apartment
A cloud of silence broke upon the apartment after Elektra called Matt. Lily was very apprehensive when Elektra tried to get her to bed and explained that everything was ok and mommy was ok. Matt 'watched' from the door of Lily's room as she put the two year old down. A half of and hour marched by before Lily fell asleep and Elektra walked silently out of the room. Matt reached for her hand and pulled her to his chest after they had reached the living room "are you ok?" he asked in a whisper careful not to wake Lily
Elektra hesitated "yeah…I'm fine"
Matt shook his head "no E. are you ok?"
"No" she sighed "I'm not. Someone tried to kill me right in front of my own daughter Matt, whoever this is toying with us he's put Lily in danger and I won't stand for that"
He gripped her tighter "If anything ever happened to Lily then I would go to no ends to kill anyone that tried"
Elektra let a tear fall out of her eye "Matt she has to go somewhere….somewhere safe"
"Where would she go Elektra there's no where to go" he buried his face into Elektra's shoulder
"There is one place" she lifted her head to him "Stick's compound"
"E you can't do that you hate it there" he lifted his head 'looking' at her
She sighed for the millionth time that night "I know but this is our daughter and I have to push my hate aside to keep her safe"
Matt closed his clouded eyes that where shielded by his sunglasses "if she's safe there and you want to take here there I'll go with you and keep both of you safe" he said as he pulled her ever closer to him "Elektra I love you so much"
"I love you to Matt" she kissed his lips for what seemed like ever "we have to go as soon as possible"
Matt nodded "yeah, we'll go in the morning but right now you should go to bed I'll get everything ready"
"I have to call Abby and tell her what's going on" she said
"In the morning but now go to bed" he let her go and let her walk to the bed room
This was a troubling night for all three of them and he knew it wouldn't be much better for a long time till this problem was fixed and if he had anything to do about it then he was going to fix it soon.
Abby, Josh and Nikkie's apartment
Nikkie sat on the couch eating some stale chips as she watched the T.V. Soon Abby and Josh walked thought the door and Abby walked over to her friend "hey ghetto fly" she smiled
Nikkie gave out a small smiled "hey white girl"
They both let out a small laugh "guess what it's your lucky night Mr. Hunt and I have given you a surprise beyond your wildest dreams"
"And what is that?" she asked still keeping a smiled on her face a good change from every other day
"Well Miss. Shine you'll just have to wait and see oh and get some good clothes" Abby laughed poking Nikkie's shoulder
"What's wrong with these clothed" she asked acting hurt
"Well there just not appropriate for where we are off to, now let's go chop chop" Abby clapped her hands
Nikkie raised an eyebrow but decided to go for it "okay" she said as she walked to her room
Abby looked over at Josh and smiled. Josh gave her two thumbs up and chuckled a little. After changing her clothes they finally got Nikkie into some cool clothes and they all walked out the door to Nikkie's surprise.
The 1, 2, 3 club
Nikkie stared at the rather large neon sign "oh hell no" she watched at Josh and Abby pulled her to the club.
"Aww common Nick this will be good for you, you have to get out now" Abby was latched on her arm
"Ab's no, no, no this really isn't me right now" she tried to back away
"If you go in here I'll let you have as many drinks as you want" Abby said
Josh laughed at the scene and walked up to the bouncer then entered the club with the other two girls. The music was loud, loud enough to break anyone's ear drum by standing near the speakers. The blue neon dance floor screamed at the dancers on it to keep moving. Black lights that emitted a purple glow lit up any light coloured clothing in the club. Abby pulled Nikkie by the hand to the bar as Josh followed behind them "two drinks, anything just make it hard" Abby yelled over the music to the bar tender. Nikkie looked at the sea of dancing people that seemed to make waves as there body's moved to the music. There drinks came but not before some guy had already picked up Nikkie and led her to the dance floor. Josh smiled, now that Abby didn't have anymore distractions and pulled her to the dance floor as well. Abby grinned at Josh and danced with him as the music pulsed. Abby was a good dancer and Josh surprisingly was too but when they danced together it was like a whole new world, and alias for both of them and they never wanted it to end. They both danced till some other guy pulled Abby into his arms but she never knew who it was but her kept her caged within his arms as she tried to pull away. The out of nowhere Josh punched the guy square in the jaw making him fall to the ground. Many of the dancers didn't notice but Abby looked on it horror before Abby pulled Josh out of the club and onto the cold winter streets "what the hell was that?!" she asked raising her voice a bit
"He wouldn't let you go" Josh explained as if he was offended
"I could have handled that you didn't have to go hit the guy" she snapped
"You didn't look like you didn't want to handle it" He snapped back before he even realized what he said
Abby's eye's widened "what! Are you saying I liked having a stranger grope me?!"
"No Abby that's not what I meant I meant-" he was cut off
"I know exactly what you meant and I don't wanna hear it…" she trailed of
Josh tried to reach for her but she backed away from him "Abby I'm sorry"
"Right" she shook her head "just leave me alone" she walked away leaving Josh breathing in the bitterness of his own words, leaving the awful taste of misery in his mouth.
