~See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows
How far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go~

They say that there are no accidents. Sometimes reality comes crashing into us. Other times, it dawns on us slowly, despite our best efforts to ignore it.
Elizabeth sat down in the studio listening to a recording that the band did of a cover of 'Don't You Want Me'. She really liked it, but she wasn't in a good mood to really enjoy it.
"You sound amazing" she heard Carter say. She turned it off and looked at him.
"Thanks" she said "I thought you were supposed to be in Europe"
"I was. But then on Thanksgiving I got a text from a number I don't know that you were gonna need me. And I know it's not Drew or Matt because I asked them so that leaves either Chuck or Nate. And I don't think Nate would tell me that you need me so that leaves..."
"Dammit that Basshole. He sat with me after Thanksgiving and let me cry it out and ever since then he's been checking on me. That's very big of him to text you of all people. He hates you." she replied
"True but we both love you, and as much as I hate putting me in the same category with him, it's true. I didn't want to see it at first. In fact I purposely tried my best to ignore it but I can't anymore. And I can't ignore that you love him too"
"Carter" she said then spotted the calendar in the corner. "Oh no"
"What?"
"Today's the anniversary of Bart's death so Chuck is gonna be in a foul mood"
"When is he not?"
"Carter" she said. "He's my friend and his dad dying destroyed him last year."
"See" he replied
"Carter" she replied.
"Guess who should love me" Drew said coming down "Oh hey Carter"
"Hey" Carter said "This looks like band business so I'm gonna leave"
"Back to Europe?"
"Back to Europe. Yes, since I see your in one piece" he said then she hugged him. "We will talk about your feelings another time"
"Thank you" she replied and he walked back upstairs.
"So Guess?" Drew said.
"Me?" she replied.
"You need an escape from Manhattan and we need the gig to put us on the map. I happen to have the answer to both. So love me"
"Alright?"
"A movie producer in L.A is throwing a massive New Year's Eve party. They've invited over 15 bands to perform at it"
"Drew were a no body band how..."
