Rock Lobster – Chapter 8
Bette didn’t sleep well at all that night. She kept staring at her phone, wishing for it to light up at any second. There were only several people in Bette’s life who she cared deeply for and one of them was Marina. Even though she considered Alice to be her best friend, Marina was always there for her too. She was good for those moments when she needed someone to listen without being judged. The three of them were practically like sisters and the thought of finding someone to take her place saddened her immensely. Even if she did come back, things would be different for sure.
She laid flat on her back, her arm on her forehead, staring at the ceiling. Tina’s arms were wrapped around her stomach, still sleeping soundly. Her phone buzzed, indicating that someone was calling. For a moment, she felt hopeful that it would be Marina finally reaching out but disappointment hit as soon as she saw Gabby’s name on the screen. She lifted up Tina’s arms gently and got out of bed. She waited until she got to the hallway before answering the call. She thought twice about picking up but knew that she would only be prolonging the inevitable if she ignored Gabby.
“Hello?”
“So did she call?” Gabby asked, getting right to the point.
“No.” Bette heard the defeat in her own voice. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed the bag of coffee beans in the cupboard and started pouring them into the grinder.
“So you know what this means, right? I have you girls scheduled to audition people at the studio by 2pm.”
“Wow. You don’t waste any time, do you?“
“Hey, don’t take it out on me. I’m not the one who went running away.”
“I’m sorry. This is just really hard. Can’t we at least give it more time?”
“I already gave you more time, Bette. I know it’s hard but this is your career we’re talking about. I’m only trying to do what’s best for you.”
Bette sighed loud enough for Gabby to hear.
“It’s time to move on, Bette.”
Bette didn’t answer her.
“I better give Alice a call too. I’m expecting you at the studio by 2pm.”

Alright, the gangs all here. Good thing it Shane showed up to save the day, cos if Bree had been hired Tina would have had to kill someone.
Damn, glad its Shane. I didn’t want to see some idiot trying to get with Bette all the time. Not like she won’t have enough groupies throwing themselves at her soon. PPS.
I knew it was going to be Shane, lucky for Tina cause that other girl was going to be trouble. I hope Marina is ok and when she gets back she has gotten rid of that freak Jenny.
Good thing Shane showed up or their choice would have been between cheese and stinky cheese. But what HAS happened to Marina and did that loathsome Jenny have anything to do with her disappearance? And Bette shouldn’t blame Gabby, she’s just doing her job (just as Marina isn’t doing hers). Although Gabby probably could have done a better job screening the applicants.
Man, where the heck is Marina?? I mean I can understand needing to keep going forward with the band but I would be losing my mind if one of my bandmates just done disappeared! I mean WTF?! Call out the lesbain search patrol and find this b*tch! LOL. Anyway, hope all ends well for the gals…
Drummer Shane strikes again! :D Not sure if anyone watches the US Big Brother but I was totally picturing Jen Johnson as Bree in this chapter. XD And uh, why don’t these other bands just tell Hank to shower more? It doesn’t matter how nice you are. If you smell like a rotten crotch no one will want to have anything to do with you.
Oh boy….Shaney’s here! Better than stinky and sexed up. Now, where could Marina be? Hmmmmmmmm!
fun but the story just not getting there for me…nicely written though
