Two Wrongs Don't Make It Right

[b] Chloe’s POV[/b]

The drive to their practice space was short. I sat in the back with Vic while Jaime Drove and Mike was in the passenger seat. Jeremy, Tony, and Autumn were in Jeremy’s car.

“Are you okay?” Vice asks me quietly.

“Yeah just a little shocked.” I say back. “She didn’t say anything to me about any of this. I knew she loved preforming with Kellin. I could tell how ecstatic she was when she was telling me about it. Her face lit up like a kid in a candy store. We started the line while I was still in high school. We never really had the chance to think about doing something else after it took off. But it has always been me that been more into the actual designing. She put her input in and told me what to change or try if something didn’t work. She always had more to do with the marketing and business end of the line.”

“Are you upset that she is doing this?” he questions.

“I don’t think so. I know it will be different if anything comes of her band. She will be gone more, but I know she will still want to be part of the line. She knows that is isn’t impossible to do both. Other musicians do it all the time. I am really happy that she is doing something that makes her happy, and if it helps her cope with the whole Austin thing when I am all for it.” I tell him smiling.

“You are a great best friend.” He tells me.

“I am just doing what I know she would do for me if I were in her shoes. I want her to be happy. I know music makes her happy, it always has.” I state.

He smiles at me lacing our fingers together and squeezing it.

“You know that you will be able to go with her. She would make sure of that. You would set up a booth with the merch. It would be great exposure.” He smirks. I smile knowing that he was right.

We pull into the house and park. I get nervous. I really want this to work out for her. We get out and I call out for Autumn.

“Can I talk to you for a minute before we go in?” I ask.

“Of course, you guys go in we will be right there. What’s up?” she says turning toward me.

“I just want to tell you that I am glad you are doing this. I want you to be happy no matter what it is you are doing. I know you are still going to be part of the line, but you need to be able to go to sleep at night knowing that you are doing everything in you power to achieve you goals. And be content with how you are living your life.” I tell her.

“I am sorry I didn’t tell you about it before. I didn’t want to get my hopes up before anything was really finalized. Of course I still want to be part of the line, it’s our baby. I could never give that up.” She says smiling and pulling me into a hug.

We walk inside and I fell a lot more at ease having had talked to Autumn about this. I walked over to Vic and he wrapped his arm around my waist. He gave me a questioning look and I smiled and nodded.

“Guys this is Aaron he plays drums, Cory is bass, Jeremy is our guitarist and sings, and Levi play guitar. Obviously I sing and we are Through The Looking Glass.” She tells us. “Other guys this is Tony, Vic, Jaime, and Mike of Pierce The Veil. And my best friend/business partner Chloe.”

We all shake hands and they start to set up as we sit down. I was excited to see them play. I could tell by the faces the guys were making that they were too.
