“well then what is?” I asked him

““love I think, and that love can be for a boy or a girl or a place or a way of life or even for a family…but where you find it is up to you…where you gonna find that love?” he said

“I think I just need to go home…” I told him “…out of the city…” I said

“yeah…I was hoping you would say that…” he told me

A few days later I went to pick Aiden up at the airport…when I saw him he looked good, I missed him so much…I ran up to him jumping into his arms and he spun me around. It was like the feeling you get when you haven’t seen your brother in years then you’re with him again

“I missed you so much” he said putting me down

“I missed you too” I told him “you been working out?” I asked him punching him in the arm

“oh you know…maybe a little” he said laughing

“so how’s the money treating you?” I asked him

“um…not bad” he said “it’s not even the money…it’s the fact I loved making music and I can’t do that anymore…” he said as we walked to my car

“I know what you mean…I just got into this business to find bands that could change peoples lives, but my boss…I’m just the assistant…” I told him

“then quit…open your own label…you have the money to…” he said

“not really…” I told him

“you have your dads money Ashley…open your own label and make that dream come true…don’t work for some ass hole” he told me

Aiden was right…so the next day I walked into work and of course the first thing I hear is

“Ashley! What’s the name of that sushi place I like?” my boss asked

“You were wrong yesterday when you said the kids in the clubs were just there for decadence…it’s for romance, hope, and inspiration…and that feeling you get when other human beings pick up basic instruments and make sense of your world. And the day that I think it’s just about making money is gonna be the day where I betray everything I believe in, about music, life and myself…” I told him
