The Damsels' of Destruction
Allan Cotterill
"God I can't wait 'till I'm 18" I said as I got into the passenger seat of Zora's car.
"Why, what did Darrell do this time?" Kat said from the back.
"Nothing, he was just being a dick as usual" I said.
"Ember, don't fucking lie to us! I can see a bruise on your cheek" Zora said.
"How come you can stick up for me when I'm gonna get beaten, but you can't stick up for yourself?!" Kat yelled.
"It's different Kat, nobody fucks with my friends, I honestly don't care if I'm beaten though. If I don't listen to what Darrell says or if I try to fight back, I'm screwed. For all I know the bastard will send me to Peru" they all laughed at that as it was meant to be a joke, but honestly I don't know what Darrell is capable of doing to me. We arrived at school and I walked with Willow to our lockers.
"I'll see you in wood shop!" Willow said with a smile on her face and she walked away. I continued to search for my Algebra binder in my locker when I suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
"Hey Ash" I smiled at the nickname and turned around to see Seth standing there with his green eyes locked on my brown eyes.
"Hey" I said with a smile. He leaned forward and kissed me eventually turning into a make out session. His hands slid down and I pulled away. "We're in school" I said looking at him. Thank god the bell rang, I ran out of his reach to Algebra class. Soon two periods had passed and it was time for wood shop. I walked in and stood next to Willow at our station. There were two other girls talking to her.
"Hey" I said looking at the blonde girls.
"Oh hey!" Said Willow. "This is Lila (she said gesturing toward the girl with her hair down) and Lita (she pointed to the one with her hair up)
"twins!" I said smiling at the two. "Hi, I'm Ember"
"hi!" Lila said cheerfully
"we're new here and Willow has been the only person who has been nice to us" Lita said.
"Yeah, we have a lot in common" Lila said smiling and looking at Willow. The day sped by and before I knew it school was over and I was off to work. I work at this little shop that sells CDs and music equipment, we also fix instruments etc. Once I walked through the door, Bruce my manager started in with me.
"Well about time, those CDs' over there need to be organized" he said to me with a disgusted look on his face. I nodded as I put in my headphones and turned on my music. I was neatly putting CDs' where they belonged. Teenagers by MCR began to play and I started to jam out and sing along. I just began to sing the chorus when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Shit" I whisper under my breath taking out my headphones and turning around expecting to see Bruce standing there. Instead it was a man with black medium length hair and brown eyes.
"Hi, you have an amazing voice" he said and he had an accent.
"Uh, thanks" I said feeling my cheeks become warm.
"Oh my apologies, I am Allan Cotterill from Snow White's Poison Bite" I felt my eyes almost pop out of my head as I recognized who he was.
"Holy shit! This isn't real!" he laughed at my reaction. "Oh I'm Ember" I reached my hand out and he shook it.
"That's exactly what my reaction was when I heard your voice" I felt myself blush again.
"It's not that great, I only practice with my band like once every two weeks" I said.
"You're in a band? I don't think I've heard you, what's the name?"
"well we aren't famous, it's just a hobby..and The Damsels' of Destruction" I said continuing to stack CDs'.
"Hmm..well I'm thinking about making you famous" he said and my eyes lit up.
"Shut up!" I shrieked.
"I'm serious, I'm honestly jealous of your talent" he winked at me and I stood there speechless. "Here" he said pulling out a pen and taking my hand, he wrote down a phone number. "My bus is outside waiting, text me" and with that he turned around and I went back to work with a grin plastered upon my face. When I got home I looked at my hand and pulled out my phone
Ember: Hey, Allan? It's Ember from the music store
Allan: Hey, I have some good news
Ember: what?
Allan: I got a hold of some people, I want them to hear your band, I'll send you the details. Be ready by Sunday ;)
"Why, what did Darrell do this time?" Kat said from the back.
