Life: Altered – 03.24 ~*~ Use To Be Me

            “We can’t find her.”  Keith said breathlessly as he came running up onto the stage and a very ***** piece of under age meat was playing Quin’s guitar.  He stopped short, smiling and his bright hazel eyes drank her in.

            “We are playing, four songs.  I talked to Marina; and Kit is going to fill in the rest of the night.  Everyone, Daisy, Daisy the band.  We are just gonna wing it.”  Quin said, and Daisy was reading the notes of the song memorizing them with quick eyes.  Quin kept tossing glance at her, feeling like she had met her already, in another life perhaps.

            “I like this one.  Changing Moments.”  Daisy said and Clapp looked it over, giving Quin a look.  Her handed the page back to Daisy and shot Quin a look.

            “We’ve never played this.”  He said, putting his hands on his hips.

            “I lost a bet, you aren’t playing that one.  That’s mine alone.”  Quin said to Daisy, and Daisy pouted.

            “How old is she?”  Doogie asked, having stripped down to his boxers and Quin shrugged, she hadn’t a clue, she was guessing 18 or so.

            “Minnow, how old are you?”  Daisy gave her a glared look; she pursed her lips and said with conviction.

            “15.”

            “OH *****!”  Doogie said, jumping back into his pants, leaving them all laughing as he fumbled and fell over, popping his head back up and smiling with a blush on his cute cheeks.

            “Excuse me.”  Alice said, pulling her cell phone out and answering it.  She didn’t look at the number; she had a feeling she’d known who it was.

            “Alice?”  Came Bette‘s strained voice; she’d been livid since the moment Tina‘d left and hadn’t calmed down yet.

            “Hey, where are you?”  Alice asked, and then she turned and looked at Tina and Cassandra, chatting up the table.  A look of knowing spread over Alice‘s face as she scratched her nose.

            “Is Tina there?”  Bette asked and Alice said in a cute tone.

            “Uh huh.”  Bette moaned, seeing Candace picking up the remnants of their food, having picked at the lunch, no conversation, just staring at their food and lost in thought.

            “That’s why I’m not there.  I’m sorry Al…”  Bette began, Alice cut in, a bit pissed at the way Quin had just treated her, and she really needed all the friends she could get at the moment.

            “You know what Bette, get your ***** ***** over here, and bring Candace too.  Sit on the other side of the room, but come?  You can’t just become a recluse cuz you were both ***** behind each other’s back.  We are all your friends and you guys are gonna hafta share us, like custody and all that *****, but quite being a snob and high tail it over here, now!”  Alice said, hanging up the phone with a snap.

            “You are going to Australia, that is all there is to it!”  Shane said, slamming her hand down on the table, making Lara and Dana jump, Shane reached for her glass and drank down the shot.
