From All Ends

Waking up in the morning to Luka crashing into everything downstairs is getting old. He’s been spending so much time getting the bar ready to go and working at another you’d think he’s drunk, but instead he’s just exhausted. I pulled the covers off and stood at the banister watching him throw himself on the couch and decided to just leave him there, it’s time for me to get to work anyways have some meetings at Warner Brothers-my record label, having to plan the next tour and figure out when I’m getting back into the studio, hoping they will approve studio time before a tour though, I’ve got lots of starters and ready to get things laid out. I quickly showered, straightened my hair and did my makeup. I threw on a plaid long sleeve button up, rolled the sleeves to my elbows, and tied the bottom to sit right under my chest, put on a pair of jean shorts, and my favorite boots and headed out the door to LA.
As soon as I hit the outskirts of LA my phone rings and it’s my manager Nikkole “Ya?” I answered, “So how are you?” “Running late, I take it that’s why you called?” “Yep, we’re all here waiting for you. Think that you’ll make it anytime today?” “Omg Nikki, I’m almost there give me like 30 minutes.” “30 minutes isn’t almost here.” Click, I hung up the phone on her, god she can be annoying.
I finally make it to the building and park and run into where I know the meeting is held. “No worries I’m here!!” The meeting itself last about an hour we decided that I’d do a mini tour three month long, about 30 to 40 dates and of course interviews; try to get people excited for an album I’ll start officially recording when I get back but they agreed to get me in so I could start putting somethings together that I have been working on. They had my normal crew on call and we were going to start in an hour with one song that I had completed. I walked out and saw my uncle Larry standing and talking to a tall guy, shaved head, and lots of tattoos. From the back he looked good. I walked closer to my uncle and he saw me and waved me over.
“Hey princess, what are you doing here?” “Just had a meeting about tours, and studio, you?” “I had a meeting as well. Excuse my manners, Matt this is my niece Braelynn, Brae this is Matt from Avenged Sevenfold; one of the bands I manage.” I looked up and saw the most gorgeous eyes ever and a dimpled smile that could make a girl go weak in the knees. “Hi, nice to meet you.” He stuck out his hand to shake, “You too.” We held eye contact but I knew we were polar opposites of each other and our paths would never cross. Larry cleared his throat to get our attention, “What are you doing now Brae?” “Just going to my car to grab my book and then heading to studio 14 to work with the crew a bit, we have started playing with a couple songs and they agreed to give me a studio this afternoon; stop by later?” “Of course.” He gave me a kiss on the top of my head and a hug as I pulled away. “It was nice to meet you Matt.”
As a I walked away I heard Larry tell Matt to stop thinking about it; that I wasn’t his type. I can only imagine how the rest of the conversation went.
I was in the studio with my regular crew for a couple hours and we had just finished the music to go with one of the songs and just finished recording the guitar piece and starting to record the vocals when Larry walked in with Matt. I smiled and waved as my music started. When I was done I walked out and decided I was done for the day; I just wasn’t feeling it and the other pieces needed to get into the studio.
“Larry I’m going to the bar, Luka said he was doing a soft open on it tonight; will you be there?” “No, I’m going to head home, I got things I need to get done, but you be careful.”
I left the studio and headed home to Long Beach to change and head to the bar.
I walked into the bar, had a decent amount of people in it for the first night being open. I saw Luka behind the bar and went over to talk to him. “Hey sis, how was the meeting?” “Good, going to get one song done now, and tour for 3 months, and then I’ll be full time in the studio after.” “When do you leave?” “I think in a month, or month and a half.” “Did you see Larry today?” “Yep, he introduced me to one of the guys he manages for, and then they stopped by for a bit before I left.” “What band was it?” “Avenged something or another, I don’t know. The guy’s name was Matt.” “Should I be disappointed that you don’t remember my band’s name?” I heard from behind me. I turned around and saw the hazel eyes I fell in love with earlier. “Matt, I didn’t expect to see you here. This is my brother Luka, the owner of this bar.” “I asked Larry what bar you were talking about and he didn’t want to tell me but finally let it slip. I wanted to see you again, and my friends were looking for a new bar to hit up.” “Are you from here?” “No, I live in Huntington Beach, not too far.” As Luka sent down my drink a tall guy with brown eyes, and dark hair stepped up beside Matt. “Hey beautiful, I’m Brian. Are you the girl Matt met earlier?” I looked at him and recognized the face from the pictures and put two and two together and realized he was my brother. Now I knew what band it was that Larry managed and now I knew how he knew he could help me meet him. I turned at looked at Luka “Sorry, Luka I hope tonight is great, I’ll be back for the grand opening next week but I have to go. Get up early and stuff.” Luka just nodded his head, I don’t think he realized who he was but I know I’ll be drilled later. “It was nice to meet you guys but I have to go.” I quickly grabbed my bag and headed out the door. What I didn’t know is Matt was right on my heels. “Hey, wait. Where are you going?” “I’m sorry Matt; I have to be up early.” “I thought we could talk more, I’d really like to get to know you.” “Matt we are complete opposites. You’re a hard rocker, I’m a country princess. If you hoping to get to know me to be more than friends it would never work, even just friends wouldn’t work. We’re different.” With that I got in my car and left, knowing deep in my heart that I hoped something would happen, but if he’s friends with the Haner’s, which it looks like he is there is nothing that would ever happen, I’m not ready to confront them.
