Playing By Heart
“So what do you think of the new jam, Little P?” Alice asked me excitedly.
Knowing that my approval means a lot to them, I smiled at my loud-mouthed friend and nodded my head at the same time.
“Not bad Pieszecki. At least a top ten hit, for sure.” I winked at my sister.
“No way! Top five, hands down!” Carmen corrected me with a laugh and her hands on her hips as if to defy my prediction.
“I don’t know guys, we could work on the arrangement a little more.” Said Angus. “Something is a bit off.”
“You are your own biggest critic, you know that, Partridge?” I teased him. He was a perfectionist when it came to his craft. But then again, I was too, so it wasn’t surprising that I could sympathize with him. “It sounded great, guys. You’re definitely ready to showcase it tonight if that’s your plan.”
“You really think so?” He asked skeptically.
“Hey!” Kit snapped at him, immediately getting his undivided attention. “My baby sis knows her music, and if she says it’s good enough, then dammit, it is and we’re playing it tonight!”
“Relax, Kit.” I smiled at my older sister, not knowing if she was really being protective of me, or impatient with Angus’ unjustified concerns. “But yes, Angus. You have it down. Vocals sound great, and I didn’t think the arrangement was off key or measure at all. It was really clean. I can show you the video if you’d like.” I said pointing to my purse.
He looked back at Kit nervously, before our eyes met again. “Naw, Little P, I believe you. Just a little antsy about it that’s all.”
“I get it.” I empathized. “You guys have a setlist to show me for tonight?”

Tina’s House – Tina’s POV
I had been getting into the habit of turning off my phone whenever I was with Bette since Dana was, without fail, always interrupting moments that shouldn’t be interrupted, so I wasn’t surprised to see that when I turned it back on after Bette left, I had three missed instant messages from her.
The first was from yesterday afternoon, shortly after I had left the office on my one-woman quest to find Bette.

Did anyone recently tell you that your story is really great? Well, it is! I hope that you find the time – and the ideas – to continue this fantastic alternative universe story. Your characters are great, your story idea (the band, the music industry) seems to be thoroghly researched and .. well.. it is hot! Your style of writing with a lot of humor and funny dialogues just keeps me coming back to it again and again. Please update! My birthday is coming up so I’d like to make a wish for a new chapter…just joking ;) No really, I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants to read more and see what you might have in mind for Bette and Tina. Actually I was telling my girlfriend about PbH and had to translate some of it to her because her English isn’t good enough to read it herself. I really hope you’re not giving this up. Cheers!
Hi I just love this story,hope you will come back and continue it.
It’s a great story,i read it in 2 days,can’t stop!
J’aime beaucoup cette histoire. Votre style d’écriture est incroyable.
Je voudrais un nouveau chapitre ainsi que finir cette histoire. Merci beaucoup.
This is a great story and it is such a shame that it remains unfinished! I would really lovey if you finished it, please
Sassypants, would you believe that I haven’t logged into the site in quite sometime so I am just now seeing this? This past week I have been updating the story in terms of the technology used (phones, rideshare, etc) by the characters in this story and revising mechanical and grammatical errors so that it’s written a little better.
I have also had 3 additional chapters written for YEARS and just haven’t posted. My plan is to begin re-posting it so that it is all in one book (drop down chapters). I’d like to finish the story before that happens, and I’m a chapter (or two) away from making that a reality.
Anyway, it was nice to see a little nudge of encouragement. It’s nice to know that there is still some interest in this story.
xoxoxo,
MeLL
Hi, of course there is still interest in this story ( and not only from Gran:) ).
I really hope that you can give proper end for this amazing story!
Delighted to see your reply and look forward to your posts.
Love your writing and will enjoy the re-posting as well as the new Chapters I’m sure. Don’t be in a hurry to finish these two characters story because they’re great.

I agree with all the other comments, please continue…..for many more chapters!
You can definitely write, girl! And, I’m not a fan of being left hanging, or to my
own imagination to complete the story; as you would, no doubt, be so much
better at that task! Also, not in a hurry for this story to end, as I think there is a
plethora of plot lines to follow and embellish. Looking forward to more from you!!
Hi there, Dr. A!
Rather than copy and paste my previous comment I just posted to SassyGran’s recent comment, I will just point you to it (it should be right above this one) and extend my gratitude to you for reading this early little fic of mine.
Hoping to return soon!
