6:30 pm.

"Shit,shit, shit" The girl scrambled across the bus seats after just waking up to the lightning striking outside the windows. "So sorry!" She ran up the aisle best as she could in
the four inch heels without busting her ass. The avoidance happened as soon as she made it to the front as her guitar case caught onto one of the seats. She let out a huff as she landed on the edge of the seat across the aisle. The bus driver just stared in annoyance as she got up and set the coins into their hand. She groaned feeling the splash onto her feet as she hopped down the steps and held her guitar case above her head to guard her big blonde hair. Not only was she late, but she forgot her backup bag at her mothers. She needed to get out as quickly as she could.

"Fucking shit Amelia" She mumbled, entering the backdoor of the venue. The sound of the loud music echoed her ears immediately and the blonde grimaced as she pushed past the strangers with small 'excuse me's'. She entered the small dressing room and was immediately met with four figures. She paused in her spot at the door frame and raised her eyebrows,"Oh my god! I'm so sorry, I completely forgot!" A gasp left her lips and she set down her guitar case. "It's okay we understand," An accent that definitely was not from the area spoke up and she looked up,"Ohhh a brit?" She smiled and held out her hand ,"Amelia Watson. You're Smoking Roses correct?"

The tallest one of the four that reached Amelia's height with her heels nodded as he sat himself back down onto the small worn down couch, causing the other blonde of the two to speak up,"Yes the early ones! I'm Dallas!" He said with a small laugh afterwards. Her face froze until she broke out into a loud laugh,"Oh fuck off,you're rotted," She teased as she sat into one of the small vanities and pulled out her makeup bag. She could hear the British blonde scold him as she rummaged through the bag and she made eye contact with them through the mirror. "The rest of you are?" She questioned as she began to cover her fully freckled cheeks.

The other three besides the one on the couch began talking over each other. It was clear that this was the beginning for them.  She hadn't been working very long here but the owner allowed her to start booking gigs for others when she asked. She knew how hard it was just to get one so as she saw the name, she knew she had to book them. Even though she was the late one here and looked like a drenched birthday clown. 'What a first impression Lia,' she thought. They flowed into easy conversation about how the four all got together about almost a year ago in school and began creating their love of alternative music. She learned their names were Sloan,Dallas,Daniel and King and they were just as nervous as she was. It was cute, it was something she wish she'd had but she preferred to perform alone and be care free.

The blonde finished the coloring in the large wing of her eyeliner and glanced over at them as they fell silent into their sibling like arguments. "Barbie on acid," The blonde male spoke his thoughts aloud and she tilted her head back to laugh. "I know it's fucking crazy but I like it! Dolly and your neighborhood clown had a toy created type mug you know?" She giggled at her own dumb joke as she looked back into the mirror. The harsh lines and contour fit her chubby cheeks perfectly and her over lined lips and eyes were all enough to make her feel beautiful. Though her parents ridiculed her for it and said it looked stupid, she absolutely loved the look. It was just for her signature and how women don't have to look like the perfect stereotype the arts give.

She snapped out of her thoughts to Sloan and King warming up their set list on the couch. She knew immediately this was something she could get used to but didn't want to get her hopes up. "Want anything to drink?" She spoke as she got up, pulling her white knee high socks on to go that went with her pastel yellow dress, a small bow on the front.  After the faint yes', she tossed the red bulls, sprites and lastly the sprite cranberry their way.( ICANTBRETAHEHEBRII)
"Wait no this is the last one," Lia said pulling the sprite cranberry back and crinkled her nose. "Oh come on barbie i'll do the whole commercial for it now!" She stared at Dallas and groaned. "Fine cunt,after your set but you're getting me more," The two continued their banter until it was time to perform.

It was about two hours until the night was finally over and Amelia entered the small dressing room again full of sweat and exhaustion. She laid across the couch and eventually the other two besides King and Daniel entered the room. She opened one eye to look at them as they counted their first tips of the night. "Nice for the beginning huh?" She asked sitting up. "I still barely make that much,it's nice to save though." She said softly, pulling her drenched locks into a ponytail.
Sloan watched her with a small smile and nodded quickly,"Hey, would you like to come with us for dinner? Just take out,it's nothing special?" She asked politely as she rocked on her heels. Amelia smiled widely at the invitation until she looked at the time and sighed,"I wish, it's late and I have to sneak back home but thank you so much," She said buckling her guitar back into the case. "It's okay, thank you for booking us last minute. I know our styles are total opposites but it was so much fun!" Sloan spoke with a higher, chirpy tone and Amelia giggled as she threw the case sling over her shoulder,"Of course, everyone who comes in here is family so welcome anytime you want,"
She said, shaking their hands again and entered the cold,rainy night again. That's what they would be for a really long time, their own little family.
