Chapter 47

"Are you sure they're not mad at me?" Ernaline and Perth hold hands as they trace the silence of the hallway here inside Senri's condominium building.

Ernaline didn't want to show up in the band because she was ashamed of her life's dramas, but Perth insisted.

"It's fine. I think they'll be surprised if I bring you there," They took the elevator. Perth himself pressed the button on the floor of the condo where they were staying.

Ernaline is nervous and shy because like Perth, she also left them during the times when her mind was confused and she felt jealous of Serenity since the woman has arrived.

The elevator rang and it opened. Ernaline's grip on Perth's hand tightened as she pulled him out of the elevator. Her chest was throbbing, she wants to run and just hide but she's here, she'll just face the anger of their bandmates.

Perth opens the door in front of them before they enter. Ernaline heard the noise of Kaizen and Jasper who looked like they were doing something silly again. Ernaline thought they would be surprised but she’s the one who is surprised because of a certain person.

"Saviel?" Ernaline grabbed everyone's attention. From Jasper, Kaizen, Senri, and Kyle their attention are all on her. The people in the living room are having fun.

"Would you please pinch me if what I see is correct?" Jasper asked. Kaizen kicked Jasper as he wished so the man fell on the sofa.

"Damn! Why did you kick me?" Jasper complained to his friend.

"You said it, idiot. You're not dreaming you dumb!" Kaizen replied to the man. Kaizen is obedient at any time like this.

Ernaline badly missed the noise of the two of them.

Ernaline was about to speak when they ran towards her and hugged her.

"Queen," The four men shout simultaneously as if they haven't seen each other in years.

Ernaline almost fell over with the force of the impact as they throw themselves towards her. The girl also let go of Perth's hand because someone removed it and she didn't know who it was. The four of them surrounded him to hug him, feeling that he would be squeezed tightly when they hugged him.

"It's good that you showed up," Kaizen teased while still hugging the woman.

"Did you know we were sad when you left? We didn't continue those projects until you were gone." Jasper will feel it.

They released as they hugged Ernaline and guided her to sit on the sofa. Perth was left standing in the doorway.

"Why didn't you continue?" Ernaline with a curious tone in her voice.

"We don't like the song that Senri made, that's sad boy," said Jasper who received a punch from Senri.

"Do you want to see yourself hang on this building?" Senri gave Jasper a death glare.

"You're not kidding pre you know we love you. Come here please?" Jasper.

"Fuck off!" Senri said.

"Jasper, Senri is just for me. Don’t snatch him away from me dude," Kaizen interjected at the two's annoyance.

"Quit fooling around you idiots." Kyle scolded.

"Our porcelain girl is jealous, Kai. Come here Kyle when your white face is smeared on the wall! How many more bottles of glutathione have you swallowed?"

Jasper and Kaizen chased Senri and Kyle who were disgusted with their antics around here throughout the living room.

Ernaline has also not counted on Kyle since she admitted to him that the man likes her. Maybe Kyle is not that serious about her. Ernaline's eyes landed on Saviel who was just quietly to one side so she approached the woman.

"What drama is that?" Ernaline asks the woman.

"No. I just want to, is it bad? I just came home from Japan. Did you leave the band just because of that caterpillar? Seriously Ernaline, do you know anything?" Ernaline's palm landed on Saviel's head. Saviel is the one who didn't say goodbye to her who just disappeared and then suspected that Ernaline had a brain disease?

"But I missed you witch," Saviel bowed as she hugged and almost laid them down on the sofa.

Just like the old days, the whole condo was still noisy whenever the five of them were together, Saviel and Perth just added. Ernaline realizes the treasure she throws. A friend’s that she can rely on she can see it to them.

"After all you're coming back. We don't need Dezrail anymore." Kaizen said.

They sit in a circle here in the living room while eating snacks they bought at a fast-food chain.

Perth leaned back on the sofa as his arm wrapped around Ernaline's back waist.

"Why?" Ernaline asked in astonishment.

"We'd rather be with you on stage than that airhead. He was been a hermit since you left and that asshole doesn't even pay attention to Serenity. Then you know --- asdfghjkl"

"Eat." Perth slapped a burger in Kaizen's mouth which was once again overwhelmed by the chatter but Ernaline wanted to hear Kaizen's story.

"You are a beast Fynrell. You have a day with me someday." Kaizen looked bad next to Ernaline but the man just averted his gaze.

"Let us Ernaline to text you all that Fynrell is doing when you left. We have a group chat, don't we? Dezrail's not there right, so we'll tell you there." Ernaline just shook her head with the two men as she continued to eat.

Ernaline thought they were mad at her. Why didn't he think of communicating even though they already have a group chat on Social Media?

'You're so broken and dramatic so you didn't realize things are just simple'

Ernaline leaned against half Perth's body while listening to the antics of the four during the times she wasn't there in their condo. They only stayed in the condo for three months, ignoring all the projects that have been offered. Calvin can't do anything because Black Hand is bringing billions of pesos into his company.

Ernaline was busy writing a new piece for their new song when someone splatters a liquid in her table. Ernaline lifted her face to see who had been pouring drinks into her notebook. It was Serenity, sitting comfortably at the end of Ernaline’s table holding an empty cup.

Ernaline has been returned to the CDC then this demonic creature opens up to her?

"What do you want?" Ernaline asked the woman.

"I didn't know you're so persistent, Ernaline. You left, why did you come back?"

Ernaline stared at Serenity like she's a bug she wants to crash.

"It's simple Serenity, history repeats itself. Like you left Perth, you did come back too. The only difference is, I was accepted again ...while you were thrown away. And at least they welcomed me again ... unlike you," The woman's face shows anger because of what Ernaline said.

Serenity started and then she has the guts to get angry? This woman also has a brain disease! Ernaline just threw the notebook in the trash bin and it didn't even read its contents. Everything she had worked for was all erased! Ernaline seemed to want to swallow the notebook into Serenity’s filthy mouth until she died but Ernaline wasn't so brutal as to think of things that she would share with her in the end.

Ernaline's face was grim when Saviel saw her so she approached Ernaline and asked.

"You have a problem? Are you fighting again with Dezrail?"

"No. It's funny because that Serenity poured what she was drinking into my notebook," Ernaline grumbled.

"Just a notebook, I'll buy you a new one,"

"That's where all the songs I wrote Sav."

"What?"

Ernaline folded the chair in great annoyance. It's okay if she changes the notebook, she memorizes everything written there.

"How is that possible? You'll have a gig later at Trev's bar,"

"I don’t know."

****

Serenity picked up the notebook that Ernaline had thrown away after she left the studio with Ernaline. It was a magic liquid she splats on Ernaline’s notebook. It will fade the content for about a minute. Serenity opens the notebook and scans ‘it’ with her eyes. She was impressed that Ernaline’s song is not a joke.

The woman immediately stuffed the notebook in her bag that Ernaline had thrown away before Serenity left the studio and went to K Entertainment.

Katelyn is the owner of K Entertainment, Serenity’s best friend. They are both war freaks, spoiled brat rich. Everything will be done to get what they want. Serenity is also not unaware that Dezrail prefers Ernaline more than her.

When Serenity arrived at the opposite K Entertainment with the tax, she immediately went to Katelyn's office. Serenity found the woman kissing another man inside her office.

Serenity let out a sigh to grab Katelyn's attention which she immediately paid attention to. Katelyn pushed the man away before facing the friend.

"What brought you here bitch?" Katelyn raised an eyebrow at Serenity.

Serenity walked over to her table and just sat in the visitor’s chair in front of her table. Serenity took the notebook from her bag before throwing it in front of Katelyn.

"Just like what you wish for, I stole her notebook," Serenity said.

Katelyn reached for the notebook and looked to see if it was indeed Ernaline's notebook.

The woman smiled. "Good girl bitch, you're also useful somehow,"

Serenity's eyes just rolled in emptiness at the woman. If he just didn't know the woman, he probably would have jumped in the swivel chair earlier.

"I did my part, airhead. What's the next plan?"

Serenity couldn't wait for Dezrail to be with her again. To be honest, Serenity will only love Dezrail as long as she breathes in this world.
