Rachel is storming out of the room in a huff. "So much for being honest" I say to no one

in particular. I throw on the rest of my clothes and slowly make my exit down the stairs and

out of this poor girls life forever I’m sure. Seriously I really have to stop drinking I think to

myself. Ashley gets to her sky blue escalade and hops in and speeds out of the driveway.

"Shit , what time is it, I am suppose to meet LiL today to go over my performance tomorrow.

I pull up to Capone’s and jump down and run into the bar, I spot LiL talking to one of her

bartenders.

"Hey LiL"

"Oh hey ash, how have you been? I haven’t seen you since you where like sixteen.

She pulled me into a warm embrace, and I actually accepted it. I don’t really do touchy feely

shows of emotion, Thanks mom.

"I’m really good LiL, thanks for asking, how have you been?

"Oh you know how business is, up and down, but other then that I’m great, its so good to see

you, and thank you soo much for performing for my bar.

"LiL, you know its not a problem, any time you want me to I would be here, anything for a

good friend of my fathers.

"By the way love I am so sorry to hear about his death.

"Thank you LiL, that means a lot.

" No problem sweetie, so anyway what are you planning on singing for me?

"Well if you don’t mind I was thinking a couple of my original songs and then a couple of my

dad’s old tracks, what do you think?

"I think that would be fantastic ash.

"okay, great then its settled, what time do you want me to get here?

"Well I was thinking 7, that gives you enough time to unwind and relax, have a couple of drinks

before you go on. I am going to have my head bartender take care of you, her name is Spencer

"sounds good, hey LiL, is this Spencer chick hott?

I smile as LiL looks at me with a sideways glance and shakes her head.
