Mindblown

Chapter Thirteen

A/N: Sorry it's a day late guys, I fell asleep early last night lol :P

Chapter 13

Standing in front of Kevin, Avi waits patiently for some approval.
     "Where did all this come from?" Kevin asks.
     "Well those two are new, wrote 'em last night. And the other four just clicked with me, I don't know why. I mean I always thought they were shit but now they make sense Kev, it's great. With a few more songs and a lot of work I reckon I could have another album out by the end of the year."
     "I know why they all make sense now Avi, they're love songs, or at least romance in some way."
     Avi frowns, "No way."
     "Hey, I'm just reading what you've written. I suppose the older four could be read differently, but the new ones are about Kirstie. You've only been dating for three weeks and already she's had a huge influence over your writing, it's probably because you've been helping her. That and you're in such a zaza land that you have actually given me one terrible song," he slides one of the papers aside. "Don't like that one, but we start work on the other five immediately while you're in this zone, please just continue making music put them to guitar, go."
     "Hold on," Avi takes back the papers, "Maybe not just guitar."
      Kevin's eyes widen, "Who are you? Writing quick, not just guitar. Certainly not Avriel Kaplan."
     "Shut up."
     "Get going, you can do whatever, company might actually thank you for it."
     "Hilarious," Avi chuckles as he leaves the office.

T@mayLunaevans: 'Today's a good day to make some music ;D #creative'

T@KirstieMaldonado: 'I knew it! @mayLunaevans'

T@mayLunaevans: 'So what. I can make music if I want, saved my best songs for myself anyways @KirstieMaldonado #bitch'

Kirstie frowns at her phone, why did May just call her a bitch? She isn't being mean, she kind of wants to congratulate her. Kirstie looks at the tweet again, maybe she'd read it wrong?
     Nope.
     'Should I tweet back?' she texts Mitch and Candice.
      One reply came in immediately, 'Yes queen, slay! ;)'
      Candice's took a moment longer, 'Don't you fucking dare!'
      "Oh," she says to herself. She wasn't expecting to get two different answers. Mitch's made her smile, while Candice's made her feel like she's already done something wrong. She needs another opinion. Avi won't have seen it, but she could still ask him, give him the general scope. Or Kevin is always a good voice of reason, he'd never steered her wrong before. But she has a new number in her phone too, one Avi gave her because he thinks this is one of the smartest people when it comes to this kind of stuff, Esther Kaplan. This one she has to call, and she does.
     Esther picks up almost immediately, "Hi you've got Esther Kaplan here."
      "Hey Esther, its Kirstie."
     "How did you get my number?"
     "Well Avi gave it to me, but I'm sure I could have googled it. I need your opinion, please?"
      She sighs, "Fine, what?"
     Kirstie smiles, "Thank you, so I may have gotten into something on Twitter, but I never said anything mean, she just called me a bitch, do I set the record straight?"
     "No, leave it, she works at the K.O building, talk to her there, sort it out in person. Then if she's still mad at you, you say something nice on Twitter about her and be the bigger person. I'm actually really glad to hear you're thinking this through."
     Kirstie is taken aback at Esther's words, that is the first almost nice thing Esther's said to her since her and Avi have been dating. She is starting to get the impression that Esther doesn't like her, but this is a step in the right direction.
      "Well thanks, it means a lot that you'd help me."
     "I'm not helping you. I'd do anything to help my brother in a heartbeat, so remember that if you post something stupid about him. Think twice or I'll be on to you."
    "Is that a threat?"
     "Might be. Just keep your head on straight and we won't have a problem."
     "Okay then. Bye."
     Esther hangs up without a reply and Kirstie stares at her phone for a moment, "Wow," she mutters to herself.
     'Where's your tweet?!?!'
     'Not happening,' she replies to Mitch and throws her phone down on the couch. She should have just asked Kevin. At least Candice will think Kirstie listened to her for once.

"So apparently she kept the better songs to herself and I literally have been singing shit for the past three years."
     Avi nods as Kirstie speaks and they walk the halls of the KO building, Kirstie searching for May and Avi just follows along.
     "It's okay you're working on stuff that I'm sure is better again, no need to worry about it. Where are we going anyway?"
     "I told you, I'm looking for May." She opens a door at random and looks in, empty.
     "If she's recording, then wouldn't it be likely to find her in the recording booth?"
     "No way, that's too obvious," she shakes her head.
     "We should check there anyway though right?"
     "Yeah probably," she sighs, pulling another door shut.
     They make their way down to the floor with the recording booths and find Kevin leaving one to go into the other.
     "Neither of you are recording today right? Because I'm exhausted enough and I really don't want to open the third room," he gestures over his shoulder.
     "You have two in at once?" Avi frowns.
     "Yeah they double booked me, but it's bound to happen when they sign two new people to the label and stick me to both of them and expect albums by July.
     "Who'd they sign?" Kirstie asks, confused as to why they hadn't been told about this earlier.
     "Well May, you both know May, and they poached Scott Hoying from Bram's. Avi's Grammy is a huge draw card right now."
     "Yeah but he's pop, and I'm assuming she is too, I'm not pop," Avi points to himself.
     After being quiet and taking a moment to process the information Kevin has given her, Kirstie speaks up, "Did you say Scott Hoying?"

A/N: Oooooo what do you think happened with Scott? :o

Sorry again with the whole mean Esther thing, but to as to be done.

Hope you liked, please vote and comment,
