Chapter 8- A Change She Didn't Know About
A couple months passed after the incident that occurred that night with Nana's "parents." Takumi would space out at times thinking about it but it wouldn't be often. Just when they look like they're about to kiss, when she just walks away, and acts like nothing was about to happen it weirds him out. He wasn't anyone to care, though. The only thing he cared about was how his career would start or if it would even begin.
Takumi was just in his band's studio trying to make up the rhythm of a new song. When Reira popped out of nowhere surprising him, making him lose all concentration. This frustrated him deeply. It made him think if he was the only one who cared about getting a debut seeing how they all had so much potential, especially Reira.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! Can't you see I was really getting somewhere! Why the hell are you so frickin stupid for! What the hell!"
Reira got irritated and started to yell back. "What the hell? I just thought that you looked really serious and wanted to give you some company. Is that so wrong? Well I'm sorry you think our band is a one man band. Hmp." She said as she crossed her arms and turned around letting Takumi gaze at her back.
He looked down while sighing and just replied, "What ever."
Reira was worried by his respond. She wondered if he was worried about something else. After pondering it, she realized what was bothering him. She sat down beside him and put her hand on his shoulder, making it a comforting movement. She looked down with a sigh and looked back at Takumi who was in serious thought.
"It's about the producer isn't it?" She asked consciously. He sighed. "Look, its okay if you're afraid. We're all……"
"I'm not afraid." He sated strongly and bluntly.
"Okaaay. You're not afraid, but still. If we don't get a debut contract from this one there'll be other companies more then willing to hire us." Takumi looked at Reira.
"I know that. You're our ticket to success, Reira. But I really want to get this debut so I could leave this life and go on to a more successful life. If we get this contract we can be new people. Our dreams would be fulfilled. Your dreams would be fulfilled." He said as he looked at Reira. She let out a smile and laid on Takumi's shoulder. Takumi smiled back and started to play with his guitar again.
"I guess we're gonna have to wait till the live. The live that may change everything." She stated as she looked, stay laying on his shoulder. Takumi with a cigar in his mouth, playing his guitar.
Two Weeks Later
Nana was having lunch with Ren. She was happy that she was getting this time with him after so long. It was difficult to talk about anything, though. All they did so far was talk about how everything was going or how Nana was doing in school. Nana didn't know how to start a conversation. She was more comfortable with Takumi then with her own brother. There was no way she could talk to Ren about that, though.
"So, this is awkward. Isn't it?" He asked with the cigar in his mouth.
"Yea, kind of." She said while blushing and letting out a small smile.
"We're having a live performance today. Wanna come?"
Nana was surprised by this. Ren never allowed her to go to these crazy lives. She didn't even tell him that she had already been to one.
"Wait a second. You're not gonna get me that easily. There has to be a catch to this."
"A catch?" He said with a surprised look. He was taking the cigar out of his mouth, then following a blow of smoke.
"Yea, you know. It's weird that you would even ask me to go. You never say anything about it. Why today, huh? It's even weird that you said should we have lunch together. Ren, tell me the truth. What's going on?"
"Why do you think it's so weird that I asked you out for lunch?" With another puff from his cigar.
"Because……… You never let me go to these lives and the whole lunch thing. It's too weird. I don't buy it. What's going on?!" She yelled.
Ren let out a sigh. "Well, you're right. I asked you out for lunch so I could ask you to come to the live. There's something I need to tell you. It's important. You'll only find out if you come to the live."
Nana looked down at her lap. With a sad look in her eyes, she crunched her fingers on her pant cloth. "Will your girlfriend be there?" It was stupid of her to ask. Why wouldn't she be there? She was the lead singer in his band. She thought.
"No. She won't."
Nana looked up more surprised then ever. Crazy thoughts went through her head. What did this mean? What's going on? Did they break up? Did she leave?
Well that's it. Tell me what you think. Things seem to be heating up. I wonder what Ren meant when he said his girl wasn't going to be there. HMMMMMMMM. Well we're just going to have to wait and find out, onto the next chapter.
