Mel sighed, looking a bit disappointed. Oh well, at least she had Dave and Ella there to eat up her breakfast. Hopefully. Or maybe she would just give up on breakfast? Yeah, that sounded like a good idea. If no one would appreciate her kindness, she would just give up.

“Well, we are giving interviews today to try and find a manager. Remember? The first one will come in around five. So, it would be great if you would be back then.” There it was again, her nice side. Instead of demanding him to be there she was trying her best to make him like her. Why was she such a people pleaser?

With that she shut the door so that he could go on about his business, and then she turned and moved back towards the building. Thankfully, the two guys who had been checking her out had went on their own way.

As soon as she was back in their house, she ignored the pan sitting on the stove and moved off towards the bedroom she shared with the other girl. After unzipping at least three bags, and then opening her jewelry box she found what she wanted. She plopped down on her bed, with the syringe in her hand, and found the vein in her arm by lightly smacking her skin. When the needle went in she winced, but then she smiled when the drug spread through her.

Lying back on the bed she rested her hands on her stomach, and just stared at the ceiling. Dazed.

The band needed a manager. They were in between the stages of being completely unknown and being known just by locals. Soon they would be getting offers to open for big bands. They would need a manager to help them with their money and schedule. Also...they would be needing a name.
