All You Need is One: Chapter Thirteen

There is no privacy that can’t be penetrated, no secret can be kept in a civilized world, Society is a masquerade ball where everybody hides his real character then revels it by hiding. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Razan

I can’t understand her. Why is she still treating me like old times after all I did to her? I thought as I was walking down the hall. A girl hit me by mistake as she was running. I lost my balance I was about to fall on the floor.

She caught me. My books fell on the floor. “’Anata wa daijōbudesu ka? (JP)’ Are you okay?” She asked. I nodded. I had this urge to hug her then I remembered that things aren’t like they used to be.

The talk I had with Tariq came to mind. Why would someone who betrayed me still act that nice toward me? “Sienna, why are you helping me? After all what happened.” I demanded. "Because I’m your knight, remember?" She answered.

She picked up my books and gave them to me, and then she walked away. After school Feras picked me up. “Razanii, what do you have tomorrow?” He asked. “Nothing, are you taking me on a date?” I asked.

“Well, let’s just say that I got two tickets to attend a talent show!” He said as he showed me the tickets. “Awesome, who’s playing?” I asked. “A new band called unspoken words.” He explained. “I’m sure it will be great!” I said.

Sienna

“Sarah how many songs will we play tomorrow?” I asked. We were sitting in the studio. “We’ll play two songs.” Sarah answered. Aseel whispered something in Sarah’s ear. “Sienna, Ron says that Razan and Feras will be coming.” Sarah said.

I grinned. “That will make it easier to choose the songs.” I said. Tariq left the studio. “Now seriously Sie, are you in love with that girl?” Aseel asked. “Yeah, seriously just between us.” Sarah backed her up.

“No, I’m not.” I rolled my eyes. “I saw what you did today.” Aseel raised her eye brow. “Are you stalking me?” I demanded. Sarah looked at Aseel. “What did she do?” Sarah asked. “She was like a true knight she caught the princess before she fell on the floor.” Aseel answered.

“She didn’t.” Sarah was shocked. “Excuse me I’m right here.” I said. “Sie saved the day.” Aseel shrugged. “Wasn’t it hot?” Sarah asked. “It was I was almost turned on.” Aseel answered. I put my hand on both their mouths. “To your instruments…” I demanded.

Tariq entered the studio. We all looked at him. “I’m not even going to ask.” He said. Sarah and Aseel started laughing. “Sie, did you decide on the two songs?” Tariq asked. “Yeah, Believe and Right Here by Staind.” I said.

“I didn’t take you for the alternative type, Sie.” Tariq commented. “Isn’t it obvious Tariq?” Aseel began. “She’s doing it for Razan.” Sarah finished. Tariq laughed. I can’t remember, since when was it that easy to see right through me?

“Do you not like the songs?” I asked. They all looked at me. “I do like them.” Tariq answered. “Then we’re playing them.” I insisted. We practiced the songs all night, till they were perfected.

Farah

“Get your cloths we’re leaving.” Mom said. “Are we leaving him for good?” I asked. Mom nodded. “Why now?” I asked. “Farah Just get your cloths and help your siblings with theirs.” She shrugged.

We got our cloths and we were out of that house for good. When we got to granny’s place I had an incoming call. I picked it up. “Hey you.” He said. “Hey Pete.” I answered. “How are you doing sweetie?” he asked.

“I’m doing well, what about you?” I said. “I’m great, now that I heard your voice.” He said. I blushed and softly giggled. “What you doing?” he asked. “We’re moving to grandma’s place. Mom and Dad are splitting up.” I explained.

“Sorry to hear that.” He said. “Don’t be, it’s for the best.” I commented. “You really think so?” he asked. “I know so.” I replied. “Farah, we’re friends now right?” He asked. I don’t know why but when he called us friend it felt wrong.

“Sure.” I answered unwillingly. “There is something that I wanted to talk to you about, that I can’t talk with Sienna about.” He said. “I’m listening.” I assured him. “I’m in love…” He trailed off. My heart ached.

“I don’t know how to tell that girl that I love her… I mean she means so much to me, I don’t want her to misunderstand me.” He said. “How can you be sure that you love her?” I asked. “I know that in ten years, I want to wake up next to her.” He said.

My heart was aching so bad, I almost forgot how to breathe. “Did you try to simply tell her that you loved her?” I managed to say. “No.” He replied. “Then tell her that. I’m sure she’ll appreciate it.” I said. I started shivering. My eyes were teary.

Does that mean I have feeling for him? “Okay, I love you Farah.” He said. My tears started falling. What did he just say? Why am I crying? “Sheesh Farah, don’t cry.” He said. “Can you repeat what you just said?” I sniffed.

“Farah, don’t cry.” He said. “No, I mean before that.” I giggled. “I love you, Farah.” He said. I grinned. “Thank you. I feel the same way.” I said. “I wish I can hold you right now.” Waleed said.

Waleed

I really do love her. I’m very happy that she shares the same feeling. I want to see Farah. I haven’t seen her since the dance. So, I invited her to the talent show today. I wondered why she didn’t know about it.

We were on stage two hours before the talent show starts. I was helping them with the set up since Tariq was the only guy there. I was surprised to know how much Sarah was familiar with the stage set up and all.

“Sienna, may I speak with you for a minute?” I asked. “Sure, what’s up?” She said. We got off the stage and went somewhere quite. “I don’t know how to tell you this…” I said. “You can tell me anything Pete.” She replied.

“I’m in love with your friend Farah.” I said. She grinned. “That’s… Awesome! Did you tell her that yet?” she said. “Yes this leads me to the other subject…” I trailed off. “Which is?” she asked.

“Why aren’t you guys speaking?” I said. “What do you mean?” she asked. I sighed. “Farah didn’t know about the band till I told her, and you had no idea that I confused my love for her.” I explained.

She looked away. “Did you ask her that?” she chocked. I reached to hug her. She backed away. “Take good care of her.” She grinned and left me. I texted Farah:

‘Farah, what’s going on between you and Sienna? –Waleed’

‘What the hell did she say? –Farah’

‘Nothing… She asked me to take good care of you. –Waleed’

‘Then nothing is going on between us. –Farah’

‘Right… when are you coming to the talent show? –Waleed’

‘I’ll be there in two hours. –Farah’

‘Take care sweetie and see you then <3 –Waleed’

So I’ve waited to see her.

Sienna

We’re going up on stage next. My heartbeats racing, I’m going to live that dream for the next 5 minutes. Sarah was having a smoke and Aseel was sitting on her lap. Then I saw Aseel walking away.

“Sienna when I’m gone, take care of Aseel for me, alright?” Sarah said. “You’re not leaving her, are you?” I asked. “We don’t know what tomorrow might hold for us.” she shrugged. Then she looked at me, “Promise me that you’ll take care of her.”

 I nodded. Aseel came back with a bottle of water in her hand. She handed Sarah the bottle. They’re good together. “Up next is Unspoken Words.” The presenter said. “’Gambatte Sie.’ Good luck Sie.” Sarah said.

My heart was beating so fast. I have no idea how to handle this. The crowed was pretty big, unlike the time I sang at the café. I’m on stage now. It’s so huge. “Hello, we’re Unspoken Words…” I said through the microphone.

We started playing right here by Staind:

I know I've been mistaken,

But just give me a break and see the changes that I've made.

I've got some imperfections,

But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face

[Chorus]

But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting

You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting

And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting

Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I hope you're not intending

To be so condescending, it's as much as I can take.

And you're so independent, you just refuse to bend

So I keep bending 'till I break

[Chorus]

But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting

You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting

And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting

Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I've made a commitment, I'm willing to bleed for you

I needed fulfillment

I found what I need in you

Why can't you just forgive me?

I don't want to relive all the mistakes I've made along the way...

But I always find a way to keep you right here waiting

waiting

I always find the words to say to keep you right here waiting

But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting

You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting

And if I chose to walk away, would you be right here waiting

Searching for the things to say to keep me right here waiting

I could see her there with the audience.

Razan

When they called Unspoken Words, I thought it was another boy band though it was Sienna who was on stage. I was stunned. She was amazing. She was that knight of mine. She was all I’ve known her to be.

The song ended. “That song was dedicated to a special someone, I’m right here waiting…” Sienna said.  “This next song is called Believe by Staind.” She finished. After the end of the second song, I hugged Feras tight and my tears won’t stop falling.

“Hey princess, Let me take you home.” he said. I nodded. He dropped me off my place and told me that he’ll see me tomorrow. I should confront him tomorrow. Sienna can’t betray me like that.

Waleed

Two hours have passed. Unspoken Words are up next. No word from Farah yet. “Pete, you look troubled. What’s the matter?” Ron asked. “Farah is not here yet.” I said. I looked at my mobile and a message was there. It was Farah.

‘Look to your left. –Farah’

I turned left. There was this beautiful girl wearing a long sleeve mini dress. She waved at me. “You look Amazing.” I said when I stood closer to Farah. She blushed. “Thank you.” she said. I held her hand.

“Do you want to go somewhere else?” I asked. “It’s okay.” She said. We went outside. The night was so serene. “Farah, I don’t want to start on the wrong foot here.” I said. “What do you mean?” she got confused.

“I don’t believe the fact that nothing happened between the two of you.” I said. “And why is that?” She asked. “Because at the party, she sang that song for you and as I told you before that girl care about everyone but herself. So it’s pretty obvious.” I explain.

“Do you think dancing with her was an acceptable thing?” she asked. “You stopped talking because she danced with a guy? Or was it because that guy was me?” I asked. “It was a little bit of both.” She said.

“Boy, am I lucky.” I commented. She blushed.

Farah

My heart was beating so fast. Heat rushed through my body, I was burning still. “The dance was my fault forgive her for that… and I’m yours only now.” He whispered the last part. He was standing so close to me.

Still holding my hand, I felt his lips on my cheek. I let go of his hand and left the place.

Aseel

I can’t believe that we won the talent show. “You were amazing.” Sarah whispered in my ear. My face went red. She hugged me from behind. “You know what I love most about you?” she asked. I shook my head. “No.” I looked at her.

“All your reacting are the same as when we first met.” She explained. I looked confused. “In other words, I love the fact that I can still make you blush. Just like that.” She said. I giggled. “We should go home.” She said.

“Don’t you want to go to the after party?” I asked. “No, we have better things to do at home.” she said. “Better thing to do?” I asked. “Yeah like stripping and...” She was saying. “Better thing to do.” I interrupted her. Sarah nodded.

We were at my place. I showed Tariq my prize and made sure he was tucked in bed. Then, I went to my room with Sarah. I was about to turn on the lights. “Keep it this way.” She whispered. I left the lights off and locked the door.

She took of my shirt and started kissing me violently. “Sarz wait.” I said. Sarah was on top of me as I was lying in bed. “Okay?” She said. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “Nothing…”  She said and started kissing me down my neck.

I was losing myself slowly. “Seel, can you promise me something?” She asked. “Anything.” I answered. “When am gone, don’t look for me.” She said. “No, I’ll look for you.” I replied. “But I’m right here.” she pointed at my heart.

“So promise me you won’t look for me.” She said. “I promise. You’ll never leave my heart.” I said. “I want tonight to be the night you’ll never forget.” Sarah whispered.

Razan

There was a strange movement on my bed that led me to wake up. It was Feras jumping on my bed. He grinned. “Wakey Wakey Princess.” He said. I threw the pillow that was next to me on him. “Out.” I said.

He was wearing a long face as he left my room. I got out of bed and got dressed and then I went to the living room. “Who let you in?” I demanded. “You’re mom did.” He answered. “And who gave you permission to enter my room?” I asked.

He didn’t answer. “Whatever…” I said and went back to my room. I minutes later I heard knocking on my door. I didn’t answer. “Razanii, I’m sorry.” He said. I rolled my eyes. “I’m truly sorry Razz, I didn’t mean to upset you. I should’ve waited outside.” He said.

“Yes, you should’ve waited outside.” I said as I opened the door. It’s my chance I can ask him to tell me the truth now. “I should’ve.” He said and kissed my forehead. “Shall we go?” I asked. He nodded.

When we were outside next to his car before he opened the door for me, “Feras…” I said. “Yes princess?” he said. “I’m just asking for honesty.” I said. “What is it?” he said. “What did Sienna say when she called you?” I asked.

“She said that she wanted me.” He said. “You’re saying that Sienna said, ‘I want you’?” I asked. “Yes.” He replied. “Sienna would never say something like that.” I commented. How foolish was I to believe him?

“Wait Razan…” He began to say. “Don’t even try.” I said as I walked away.

All You Need is One: Chapter Twelve

         The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.

Razan

Flash back:

“Who wrote that?” I asked while looking at Sienna’s name on her notebook. “I did.” Sienna said. “How come your dad’s name is written so beautifully?” I asked. “Hmm… maybe it’s because I love him.” She answered.

“So you only write the name of the person you love beautifully?” I was trying to understand. She nodded. “Write my name!” I requested. She smiled and started writing. She wrote it so beautifully.

I hugged her. “So Sienna loves Razan.” I commented. She hugged me back

She was the only friend I had back then. How did it come to this? I hugged her note book tight. Then I remembered Feras. She betrayed me. I threw her note book away. My eyes started tearing. I don’t understand… why?

I calm down a while after. I copied all the homework since there was no way I could do it on my own. I’ll give her back her note book on Sunday.

Sienna

That weekend I wrote the song lyrics, and finished playing all the games I had. I had an unexpected visit on Saturday as well. While I was in the studio with Tariq the studio door opened. I looked behind me and it was Waleed.

“Hello.” Waleed said. “Hi.” I replied and looked at Tariq.”You guys wanted to record a duet together, didn’t you?” Tariq asked. “Yeah.” I answered. “Well, that’s why I’m here.” Waleed said. “It’s a cover song that we can release on your album Sie.” Tariq explained.

“I have to tell Aseel and Sarah about this.” I said. “They’re on their way. I’ve already told them.” Tariq assured me. “Alright, what’s the song?” I asked. “Believe by Staind.” Waleed answered. “But that’s not a duet!” I argued.

“We’ll make it one.” He grinned. “What are you making without us?” Sarah said as she entered the studio with Aseel. Tariq laughed. “We’ve been waiting for you actually.” Waleed shrugged. “Right…” Aseel commented.

“Oh Sienna, this is the lyrics. The parts where you’re going to sing have your name on top of them.”  Tariq explained. “Sie will be singing the Chorus together.” Waleed added. I nodded. This is how the lyrics were:

Sienna

I sit alone and watch the clock

Trying to collect my thoughts

All I think about is you

And so I cry myself to sleep

And hope the devil I don't meet

In the dreams that I live through

[Chorus]

Believe in me

I know you've waited for so long

Believe in me

Sometimes the weak become the strong

Believe in me

This life is not always what it seems

Believe in me

Cause I was made for chasing dreams

Waleed

All the smiles you had to fake

And all the shit you had to take

Just to lead us here again

I never have the things to say

To make it all just go away

To make it all just disappear

[Chorus]

Believe in me

I know you've waited for so long

Believe in me

Sometimes the weak become the strong

Believe in me

This life is not always what it seems

Believe in me

Cause I was made for chasing dreams

Waleed

Its my life

Its my choice

Sienna

Hear my words

Hear my voice

Waleed

And just believe

Sienna

I sit alone and watch the clock

Trying to collect my thoughts

And all I think about is you

Waleed

If you believe in me

Life is not always what it seems

Believe in me

Cause I was made for chasing dreams

[Chorus]

Believe in me

I know you've waited for so long

Believe in me

Sometimes the weak become the strong

Believe in me

This life is not always what it seems

Believe in me

Cause I was made for chasing dreams

So, we sang. After recording and everything, “Hey Sienna, I want to talk to you about something.” Sarah said. “Sure.” I replied as we sat down. “We were thinking about playing a live show. What do you think?” Sarah suggested. “Okay, but where?” I said.

“At my school…” Sarah said and showed me the ad of a talent show. “Tomorrow is the last day to register. Shall we join?” Sarah completed. The ad said that the show is on Thursday. “Yeah sure, let’s join.” I said.

“One problem though…” Aseel said. “What?” I question. “We need a name for our band.” Sarah completed. She handed me the registration form. I took a pen and wrote ‘Unspoken words’ next to the band name then gave the paper back to Sarah.

Both Aseel and Sarah looked at the paper. “Now that’s a cool name.” Aseel laughed. “You guys can fill the rest and register.” I commented. Sarah nodded. “So, what’s your band name Ms. Sienna?” Waleed asked as I was leaving the studio.

“Unspoken Words.” I said. “Sweet.” He commented. Later that night Tariq came to my room. “Sienna.” He called. I was sitting in bed reading The Da Vinci Code. “Yes?” I said as I looked up to see him.

“I’ve been wondering… is Razan back together with Feras?” He asked. “Yeah they’re back together.” I answered. “Why isn’t she visiting lately?” he asked. “She’s busy.” I answered. “Oh! I see.” He commented and left.

Razan

Tariq was standing by my bedroom door while I was having a video call with Feras. “I have to go. Talk to you late.” I said as I ended the call. I turned and faced Tariq. “What do you want?” I asked. “Razz, we need to talk. It’s important.” He said.

“If it’s about your sister… I don’t think we do.” I replayed. “Yes it’s about her and you know we need to talk about it.” He insisted. He stepped in and sat on the edge of my bed. “How well do you know that Feras guy?” He asked.

That question surprised me. “I thought it was about your sister.” I shrugged.”It is, but since you stopped talking with Sienna when you got back together with him. I believe he is part of the problem.” He explained.

“Who sent you here? Didn’t she tell you what happened?” I tried to make sense of it. “No, she refused to talk! She just said that you were busy, and that’s why you’re not visiting us lately.” He answered my confusing.

He went on, “but you know that girl can’t lie it was written all over her face that there was something more. So tell me how well do you know him? And for how long have you known him?”  he said. “I knew him well enough. It’s been 3 months now.” I answered.

“By 3 months do you think you know him better than Sienna?” he questioned. “No, but what she did is unforgivable.” I defended my actions. “And what did she do exactly?” he asked. “She tried to steal him away from me.” I said. He laughed so hard.

It felt as if I just said a joke. “It’s not funny.” I commented. “Do you honestly believe what you just said? We’re talking about Sienna here” he said. “I saw her number in his phone and she didn’t deny calling him.” I explained.

“Razz… He’s the guy that broke your heart a month ago. She’s the girl that shared all your sorrow. Think about that and you’ll know why she called him.” He said and pets me. Why would she call him?

Sienna

Aseel and I were sitting in the computer lab waiting for our first lesson to start. “Are you writing any new material by any chance?” Aseel asked. “Yes, No… Maybe.” I answered. She laughed. “Do you want me to choose an answer?” she asked.

“If you may…” I answered. She laughed. “Sienna you’re losing it.” She commented. My jaw dropped open. “Am I?” I was being sarcastic. The class door was open. I looked behind me and Razan and Farah were standing there.

“Crazy much?” Razan commented. She threw my notebook at me and it fell on the floor. “I believe this belongs to you.” She said. “I’ve been looking everywhere for it, thank you!” I said. Razan turned and walked away.

“Bitch.” Aseel murmured. “Aseel stop it!” I said. “Sienna seriously that girl is acting like a bitch.” Aseel Complained. “Stop talking that way ASEEL!!” I demanded. “What, you can’t handle the truth?” she argued.

“You’re no different from the rest…” I commented. That was the last we spoke that day. When I got home, I decided to practice bass for the talent show and all. Someone was knocking at my door. “Come in.” I said.

The door slowly opened. It was Sarah. “Hello.” She said. “Hi.” I replied. “Is your house always that crowded?” she asked. “You met my family?” I shrugged.

“Wow! That was your family, five sisters and two brothers?” She asked. “So you met the whole family and the fifth was probably my mom.” I answered. “Awesome.” she commented. “Oh! You’re practicing for the show?” she asked. I nodded.

“Our registry got accepted, we’re in!” she said. “Amazing!!” I commented. “So, what happened between you and Aseel?” she asked. “Nothing.” I answered. Sarah sat on the edge of my bed.

“Sienna, I don’t think my girlfriend would be crying for nothing… you’re the only friend she has. You know that right?” Sarah said. I nodded. “She’s crying?” I asked. She nodded. “Take me to her.” I requested.

When we passed by the living room, “Mom I have to go see Aseel, Sarah is taking me there.” I said. “Wai3, t7achay 3adil ge6e3a.” Fatima said. “Ro7ay la t25reen.” Mom said. “Your family is adorable.” Sarah whispered in my ear. I faked a smile.

“Ana wedy afham hathy eshlon et6ee7 3ala nas eb hal jamal?” Latifa commented. “5alaw Sienna eb7alha.” Jassem defended me.  “Ee mashalla wallah refejatha ehablon.” Manar commented.

“What were they talking about?” Sarah asked when we were outside the house. “Wait you don’t speak Arabic?” I asked. “No I don’t” she said. “They said you were beautiful.” I said. She laughed. “Your family is bold.” She commented.

“Tell me about it” I laughed along with her. I don’t know how to explain things to Aseel. I can’t bear to see her sad. When we got to her house little Tariq opened the door. “Sienna he said and hugged me.

“Tariq, where is my hug?” Sarah complained. He hugged her and she gave him a kiss. “Aseel is in her room.” Sarah told me. I nodded. I went to Aseel’s room. I can hear a whimper from outside the door.

Aseel

Someone was knocking on my door. “It’s opened.” I said my voice was shaking. “Aseel.” Sienna called me as she opened the door. I wiped away my tears when I saw her. “Yes?” I said. “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to hurt you. I shouldn’t have taken it out on you.” she said.

“What did I do wrong Sienna?” I asked. She came and sat next to me. “You didn’t do anything wrong… it’s just that I was judging passed on my thoughts rather than understanding your point of view.” She said.

What did she think of me? “I’m very sorry.” She apologized again. “What were your thoughts?” I wondered. She sighed. “Remember when you were at my place… the way my sisters bullied me?” she asked.

“Yeah.” I answered. “I thought you knew how that felt… I thought that maybe you’re the only other person in this world that didn’t want to be like them. Though that is still no excuse for my rudeness…” she trailed off.

“I might even be turning into one of them.” She finished. “Hey your nothing like them… don’t say that, I’m the one who should be apologizing to you.” I explained. “No, you have nothing to apologize for. I know you were trying to be a good friend.” She assured me.

“I just don’t want to be like them… that’s all.” She explained. I can tell how much it hurts her. I hugged her tight. “You’re a great person Sienna. Don’t ever change.” I assured her. I looked up and Sarah was standing by the door.

“Finally my girlfriend has a smile on her face.” She commented. My face went red. I love the fact that she keeps calling me girlfriend. “Sarah you told her about the talent show right?” Sienna asked. “Right!” Sarah answered.

“We still need a band logo though.” I said. “I’ll work on it.” Sienna offered. “Cool!” Sarah commented. “I have to make a call excuse me.” Sienna excused herself. When she left, “You’re welcome.” Sarah said.

I hugged Sarah tight and kissed her. “Wow! You guys should fight more often.” Sarah said. I didn’t understand what she’s talking about. “That was one heck of a Kiss.” She whispered in my ear. My face flashed red.

Sarah was about to kiss me when I noticed Sienna at the door. I laughed. Sarah turned and looked at the door. “It’s just Sienna.” Sarah complained. “I just wanted to tell you that I’m leaving.” Sienna said. “Bye.” I waved.

Sienna left. “Where were we?” Sarah said. “I believe we should lock the door first.” I commented. “Oh! Better ideas…” She commented. I locked the door.

Farah

Whenever Waleed tells me that he sang with her. I get this feeling that I don’t understand really. As I was going to school today I overheard my mom talking to my grandma, saying that she wants to leave dad.

It’s about time she realized that he wasn’t going to change, I thought. When I got to school, I wasn’t aware of what was happening around. What will happen to us though? I though. Suddenly, someone pulled me in the corner.

I was about to scream but my mouth was covered. "Sheesh, it’s just me." Sienna said, and uncovered my mouth. "What do you want?" I demanded. "What did I do to you? I mean, why aren't you talking to me?" Sienna asked.

"It’s not about me, it’s about Razan how could you do that to her?" I asked. "That’s unbelievable not you too. He broke her heart once before, I was trying to do what’s right for her." Sienna said.

"Since when you’re capable of telling right from wrong? Just watch your actions first." I argued. "What does that supposed to mean?" Sienna asked. "Yah just keep act dump, I'm talking about what you did at the party." I shouted.

“I didn’t do anything wrong." Sienna said and started walking away. "That’s just so typical of you Ms. Sienna. Deny the truth whenever you don’t like it." I said. "I'm not denying anything. You’re the one who has no idea what is she talking about." Sienna said.

"I know that you were dancing with Waleed the whole night and your saying that you didn’t do anything wrong?" I shouted angrily. “Are you mad because I dance with Waleed?” Sienna said in a very calm cold tone.

"Yes. Can’t you see how wrong that is?” I admitted. “I don’t hold any feelings for him, don’t worry.” She assured me. Did I just feel jealousy and she sensed it? Aseel was standing next to Sienna now. “Now you’re having back up?” I commented.

“I’m no one’s back up. People are watching… stop arguing already.” Aseel said. “We were just talking.” Sienna said. “Whatever.” I rolled my eyes and left them. What’s happening to me? Whenever I hear of say his name. It feels funny inside.

Waleed

About the band, we’re still playing at that café. We finished recording our EP. We’re going to release it next Friday by playing a Special show. I wanted to know how the song went. So I called up Tariq.

“Hey, what’s up Tariq?” I said.”Hey Pete, I’m in the studio mastering Believe.” He said. “I actually called you, to ask about the song. How is it sounding?” I asked. “It sounds amazing listen.” He said and played the song.

The song sounds amazing. “Great job Tariq. Keep up the good work!” I complemented. “Thanks man, Will do.” He said. “BTW is the talent show thing conformed?” I asked. “Yeah, Sarah said we’re in.” He answered.

“Wait your playing with them now?” I asked. “Yeah.” He answered. “Awesome.” I commented. “I guess.” He said. “You’re still with Burning Corps though, right?” I asked. “Right.” He said.

“Good luck with the mastering and the upcoming gig.” I said. “Thanks man! Much appreciated.” He answered. “See you.” I said and hung up.
