**Mikaylla's POV**

I got to the store before Josh so I got the store ready.

"Good morning!!"

I turned to find a heavly tattooed women standing in the store

"Can I help you?" I asked

"I'm Ryan. The owner. Can I help you?"

"I'm Mikaylla. I was hired a few months ago"

"Josh told me. He's at the Philly store today"

"Oh, ok. I'm gonna go make a phone call"

I ran out of the store and called Josh

"Ello?" Josh answered in a bad British accent

"Why didn't you tell me Ryan was coming in!?!?!?! I wasn't prepared for this!!"

"I'm sorry. I'll be back tomorrow"

"Fine" I hung up and went back into the store

The afternoon went well. That was until I had to leave to get Watson.

"Hey Ryan. I have to go get my nephew I'll be right back"

"Oh, ok. Are you bringing him here?"

"Josh normally let's me. Is that ok?"

"Yeah, sure"

I left the shop, got Watson, then went back to work

"I'm back!" I said

"I'm tattooing" Ryan said from the back

"Okay"

I was cleaning up the front a bit when a girl came from the back where Ryan was tattooing

"Can I help you?" I asked with a smile

"No, I'm just looking. My boyfriend is getting tattooed"

"Oh, ok."

She chuckled "are you Mikaylla by chance?"

My eyes wided "How did you know?"

"My boyfriend is in the band Balz used to be in."

"Okay?"

"Ryan has talked about you"

"Somehow I knew he was to blame" I said shaking my head

"I'm Kylie by the way"

"Mikaylla, and this is Watson" I said pointing to the boy watching cartoons on my phone

"Is that your nephew?"

I nodded "Yeah."

"I'm sorry about your brother in law"

"Thank you. It's been hard"

"So,"

"So"

"You like Pensylvannia?"

"Yeah, it's very different from California"

"You're from California?"

"Yeah, L.A."

"I'm from San Diego"

"No way!! That's awesome!!"

"What made you move here?"

"My mom grew up here and so when my grandparents needed help my sister moved her after her divorce. So, after my grandparents passed I moved here after my divorce"

"You've been through a lot"

"Hasn't everyone?"

"Guess so."

**Ryan's POV**

"Ghost is getting his tattoo done then we'll practice" Chris said

"Can we cut practice short today?" I asked

"Why? Got a hot date?" Vinny asked

"No, I just have plans"

"With who?" Ricky asked

"No one! In case you forgot I have a new apartment I need to put together"

"Do you want some help?" Vinny asked

"No, I don't"

"Just tell us. Who are you gonna go see?"

"No one!! Now shut up!! There's Ghost"

"I met Mikaylla" Ghost said walking in with Kylie

"Good for you. Grab your bass"

"She said she's excited to see you tonight"

"I knew it!!!" Vinny yelled

"She didn't say that. He's just trying to get a rise out of Ryan" Kylie said

"Now let's practice" I said playing the start of 570
