You got me crushed down
Scraping against the sheets we were in
You screamed to go on
Don’t stop

Carmen bobs her head to the music and pokes Shane, Why didnt you ever tell me Tab was this great?

Shane shrugged, leaning in closer so she can hear every word, Why say it when actions leave greater impact?

Because sometimes looks can be deceiving, she smiled and turned her attention back to the stage. While she enjoyed the music, the thought of Shane saying that lurked in the back of her mind. Why say it when actions leave greater impact. Does that mean that Shanes actions may be more than just for the moment?

The muffled notes filling the air
Percussion settling in
A broken record on an out of tune sax
We’re moving, rhythm metronome accelerates
And we’re close as this symphony grows
The climax is near, comes, and goes
A violin left to bring a numbing tune
It’s sweet cry asking for pleasure
Leaving this piece with an extra measure

The crowd screamed as Tab took a solo on the guitar. Tab would continuously look back at Jade and wink at her, sometimes even sing the lyrics at her. It was great stage chemistry, which made the feedback even louder. Among the swarm of people, Diane made her way through, and saw Tab for the first time in many years. She was amazed by her different look, but still saw that raw edge in her that Tab could never live without. She bit her lip and looked around for familiar faces. Near the bar, she found Shane and Carmen, and decided to walk over. Carmen. Shane. She greeted them with a warm smile. This is lovely, you two sure progressed in the last few hours.

Shane shrugged and took a swig of her beer as her arm settled in its now familiar place around Carmen, Got a problem with that?

Carmen reacted to Shanes words and placed her hands on Shanes stomach, Shane

What? She looked down at Carmen, who looked disappointed at how she talks to Diane.

Its okay, Carmen. Shane, Im not here to ***** things up with you two, got it? Im here to see Tab, Diane stared coldly into Shanes eyes and then walked away. With that, Carmen slips out of Shanes grasp.
