Shattered Glass

Echo Smith

I didn't want to talk to my parents, after what happened yesterday. So after I woke up, I got dressed, and walked to the studio. The band called me and said they wanted to talk about 'something'. The studio is not far, but I had to walk up high streets. When I got there the band didn't fist bump, high five, or arm wrestle. They took my hand and told me to sit down. They started talking about how great I sounded in the video "Cool Kids". I knew something was wrong, but I didn't want to send the wrong message. I kept trying to get them to talk to me about what they were hiding, but I failed. Here is what I said:
"So you guys wanted to talk to me.
"Isn't that what we're doing.
"Yeah, but I thought you said it was something important.
"Isn't this important.
"Not exactly....... I mean I guess.
Instead of arguing one of the boys kicked another in the knee. I could see that they wanted him to talk to me. He looked down looking a little shy, then started talking. He took me in the massage chair. Put in five dollars, and said.
"So you know how your the only girl in the band.
"Ye...ah.
"Well we want to be a boy band.
"What are you trying to say.
"Boy bands are the most popular kind of bands these days, and we wanna be popular.
"And.
"So we want you out of the band.
"But we're a team.
I said with a tear in my eye. I could see they started talking but I quickly ran. They called my name, but I didn't care. I can't believe them, they knew that band was my life, but they still took it away from me.
