AJ
AJ clicked the drumsticks together and began to bash out the beat to the song they were practicing.
It was some work trying to keep Noah - and the drum set he'd given her - from her mind during practice, and this was only their second one since Tasha, David and Ross had surprised her the day she'd gotten back. Of course, they hardly believed she'd been to America in the first place, and thinking of the way she'd woken up on the 4th... it was almost like a dream.
It was easy to simply assume that meeting both the lead singer of her favourite band and the absolute guy of her dreams never happened.
The song came to an end, and she brushed the hair out of her face.
"Next one?" came Tasha's voice.
"Wait a moment," David insisted, having a drink of water.
"Haven't we had enough for today?" Ross screwed his face up.
"You wanted in," David shrugged.
AJ threw her drumsticks down and got up.
"Back in a second."
"Are you alright?" Tasha asked.
"Yeah," AJ waved her off, then headed into the backyard.
The three bandmates looked at each other, before Tasha put her bass down, and followed her.
She found AJ sitting in a chair, her head in her hands.
"Hey..." she began softly.
AJ looked up, then away.
"Sorry."
"What for?"
AJ shook her head.
"I'm not sure."
'Sorry for wanting to be with Noah more than wanting to be with you.'
