She's With The Band (Warren Rojas x Fem!OC) [DJTS]

KAREN: Daisy got back before Chris did, about two months later. Warren was moving on, thinking she was gone forever. I knew she wasn't though, because she was still fully moved into the laurel canyon house where Eddie lived. She wouldn't have abandoned things like that. She put too much meaning into it, into her image and lifestyle in LA.

BILLY: I was just trying to hold this thing together.

"So you want to start the set with Aurora?" Daisy asked as she picked up the setlist. "That's what we decided, yeah." Billy shrugged. "Interesting." She played with the gum in her mouth as she looked through the whole list. "Warren, when you're ready.." Billy tried to start off the rehearsal. "And these are the songs you want to sing?" Daisy cut in before they could start. "That's right." "So no Regret Me, no Look At Us Now?" Her brows furrowed as she placed her hand on her hip. "Well if you wanted to weigh in, the time for that was weeks ago. When we first started rehearsing." Billy stared blankly at Daisy. There was a moment of silence.

"Do you guys need a minute?" Karen exasperatedly said what the rest of the band was thinking. "No. Warren, count us in-" Billy started. "Yes, actually, we do." Daisy ended it by spitting her gum out into the setlist, then walking out the back door. Billy followed as the rest of the band dropped their heads.

Graham walked over and slowly slipped money to Eddie. Karen caught sight of this and immediately figured they were doing something dick-ish. "What the hell are you two doing now?" She slumped over and switched off her keyboard so she could rest her arms on it without making unnecessary noise. "Oh.. nothing." Graham looked guilty. Karen shot them both a look.

"Fine.. we were betting on who would be back first.. Christine or Daisy.." He sighed. Eddie elbowed him in the rib. "Ow, man." He said quietly. Warren spun around, looking upset. "Are you two serious?" Karen's brows furrowed as her mouth dropped slightly open. "Yeah, what the hell?" Warren added. There was a moment of silence as Eddie and Graham dropped their heads. "You two put money on it and excluded me?" Warren threw a spare drumstick and aimed at their heads. It missed Graham, but hit Eddie in the head. "You're all idiotic." Karen's head fell into her hands.

"Hey, can I try your keys?" Warren smiled goofily. Karen hesitated before standing up. "Don't break them." As Warren walked over he handed her his sticks. She smiled back and went over to his drum set. Eddie and Graham started playing some random tunes as everyone just started messing around and enjoying themselves and their lack of expertise in each other's skills.

A few moments passed before Billy re-entered the room, and with him, the thickness of tense air. The room went quiet again. Billy stood at the microphone and held his guitar, putting his strap over his shoulders and letting the instrument hang. Warren and Karen slowly started to switch back to their correct instruments. Billy crossed his arms as Daisy entered. "It's gonna be a long tour so if you'd prefer to sit this one out, please be my guest-" "There is no tour without me, you dumb son of a bitch." She stated as she turned around to the band so they were in the conversation as much as Billy was, but she was still in charge. "We're playing Regret Me." She turned back around to her microphone. "Fine." Billy sighed as he followed and turned to his mike. "And Look At Us Now." "No." "Yes." "I said no, Daisy!" Billy raised his voice as Daisy looked at him, with an amused, sort of surprised, wide-eyed, slightly grinned expression on her face.

"Warren, count us in, for the love of fucking god!" Billy sighed. "What'd I miss?" Some random ass man walked into the room. Everyone turned, confused. This was a private studio, so obviously it wasn't some guy off the street, but, it's what they all assumed. "Who the fuck is this guy?" Eddie said, tired of all the piling shit going on.

"Everybody," Daisy started as she smiled and turned her head towards the band. "This is Nicky. My husband." She grinned with an arm extended towards him. "Hi." Nicky stood in the center of the doorway. Warren turned around to look at Graham who was smoking beside him. His eyes darted to Warren at the same time as they had the same thought. They both turned back to look at Billy, who was practically glaring at Daisy before he turned to Nicky.
