Don't Change The Way You Think Of Me

A Plan Comes Together



Zacky's POV
Sometimes trying to reason with Brian can be a total waste of time.
After his bitching and moaning all the way down to the coffee shop, I had it.
"Stop being a jack ass! This band is our chance man! I know you think you're better than all of us, but you need us just like we need you."
"I get that, but we don't need her!" He growled.
"We do need her, we need everything we can get to help us."
"Why the hell does it have to be her?"
"I don't know for sure, but I think it's because she's the newest person and paid the least. You know Paul is doing this as a favor to Larry."
No matter how much he's paying her, it's too much."
"Damn! She really has gotten under your skin! I honestly like her and think she could be great for us, she's got spunk and she doesn't take shit from you. That's a pretty good quality if you ask me."
"Fuck you Baker. What the hell is taking so long? I'm not sitting her all fucking day while they kiss her ass!"
"Shut the fuck up, you don't have anything else to do today. It's your fault if they have to kiss her ass."
He was silent after that, just mumbling every now and then as he sipped his coffee.
"Total bull shit...snooty bitch...make me say I'm sorry...fuck this shit."
Then all the sudden he practically yells.
"Where the fuck are they? I'm going back up there." He got out of his chair and turned around running smack dab into Jimmy's chest.
"I don't think so buddy, you've done enough damage today." Jimmy said quietly as everyone in the coffee shop was staring after Brian's outburst.
"We're heading back home, Zacky's driving and you're going to listen to us and keep your fucking mouth shut." Matt whispered through gritted teeth.

Brian's POV
The whole way back to Huntington Beach, I was lectured and scolded like a fucking child. Finally, I had it.
"I'm not going to play nice with this bitch. I'm sure Larry can talk to his friend and get us someone else.
"Do you realize that she almost lost her job thanks to you!" Matt said.
"Sounds like her problem, not mine." I said, determined not to be forced into a guilt trip.
"Do you care about anyone, Haner!" Matt practically yelled. Jimmy was finally the voice of reason.
"Brian is one of us, if he doesn't want to work with her for whatever jacked up, selfish reason, then we have to respect that."
"What?" Matt growled with surprise, glaring at Jimmy. Suddenly he calmed down
and knew he was defeated.
"What the fuck?" Zacky called from the front seat.
"He's right, Zacky. If Brian is against this, then we have to respect that."
"You're kidding right? You're going to let him dictate all the fucking decisions?"
All the sudden, Zacky said "Ouch!"
"What the fuck is going on?" I asked.
"My leg just cramped from driving so long, I'm fine. But hey, that's my problem, right?"
"Not if you get us killed."
"I'm fine and we're almost home. I'm not going to say anything else about this subject, obviously nobody cares." He said.
"Good, I'm tired of talking about Paisley Callahan."
"That's amazing how you remembered her last name, since you only heard it once." Jimmy smirked.
"What's amazing about that? I'm sure you guys all remembered it too."
They all said "Nope" in unison and then laughed.
"What's so damn funny?" I asked.
"Nothing man, nothing." Matt laughed.
We were finally home, they dropped me off me off at home first. I was glad, I just wanted to have a few beers and forget this fucked up day. I ended up drinking almost a whole case of beer and passed out after an eight-hour solitary drinking binge.

Matt's POV
I knew when Jimmy winked at me when I turned around from the front seat and asked what he was talking about, that he had a plan. Zacky took a few minutes to figure it out after I punched him in the leg in the front seat where we were both sitting, but at least he covered well. Brian was so wrapped up in himself and his anger that he couldn't see that we were bullshitting him.
"Okay, what the fuck are we doing?" Zack asked as soon as Brian was out of the car.
"Let's head to Johnny's and have a couple beers, I'll tell you and we can get it going. First thing we need to do is get to know Paisley without Brian around."
"How the hell is that going to help?"
"I know" I said, "She liked the rest of us and she REALLY liked Jimmy. He had her eating out of his hand"
"I still don't understand."
"It's going to take a strong person who won't take any bullshit to put up with Brian and the rest of us all the time. She is strong, and she is a fighter, I can tell it. If she gets to know us better and wants to help the rest of us, she won't put up with Brian's bullshit and eventually get him into line."
"I did tell Brian that was why I liked her, she didn't put up with his shit and she has spunk. She's a fucking knock out too!" Zacky was in on the plan. I was too.
"I liked her too. What's the next step?"
We walked into Johnny's and decided to play pool, it wasn't very busy that night and we did out best thinking as a group when playing pool.
"We need to spend some time with her, getting to know her."
"What? Take her to fancy restaurants and stuff?" Zacky asked.
"We don't have the money for that and even if we did that, she wouldn't know the real us." Jimmy explained.
"We can't be fake, once she sees we aren't who we seemed to be she'll be out."
"I have an idea, she just moved here from New York, right?" Jimmy said.
"How the hell do you know that?" Matt asked.
"After she said she was willing to give us a chance and you were going over contracts and stuff with Larry, I was chatting with her."
"Jeez, did you get her whole life story?"
"No dumb ass. I noticed her accent and asked where she was from."
"I didn't think she sounded like a New Yorker."
"I didn't either, I asked because I noticed that every once in a while, she seemed to have a little bit of a southern accent." Jimmy said. "Turns out she was born and raised in Kentucky and went to college in New York. She ended up marrying her college sweetheart and lived in New York until they divorced, she moved to LA six months ago."
"Did you happen to get her phone number as you were finding out her life story?"
"Yes, I did!" Jimmy said waving a piece of paper in the air.
"Good, but we still don't have a plan."
"Show her around, take her out and show her the sights."
"What about Disney Land?" Zacky blurted out.
"That's stupid." I said.
"Actually, it's fucking brilliant!" Jimmy said.
"How is that?"
"She'll be relaxed, we'll be relaxed, and we will all be having fun. What better way is there to get to know someone?"
"Okay man, but I'm not sure she'll agree to spend the entire day alone with the three of us."

"The only way to find out is to ask. You assholes stay here." Jimmy strolled over to the pay phone and dialed the number she gave him. We couldn't hear what he was saying, but we could see him smiling and laughing. He talked to her for about 5 minutes and then came back with a big grin on his face. "Guess where we're going tomorrow?"
