You don't have to move, you don't have to speak lips for biting.
You're staring me down, a glance makes me weak eyes for striking.


"Hm, so far this demo is actually really good", Keith said as he continued to listen to the music,
"What do you think? Should I give them a call?" asked Keith.


Grey didn't respond, she sat in her chair with her fingers intertwined.
Her expression looked dull and displeased. Were Keith's senses off?
After the demo was completely done playing, Grey got up out of her seat and
parked herself in front of Keith.


She gave him an intense look, "I'll let you know when my schedule clears", she said.
"Wait what?" Keith said puzzled.
"I want to meet them", Grey said.
"That's a first", Keith said astounded.
"Just make sure they're here by then. I don't like to waste my time", Grey said.

"Asia, why haven't you touched your food?" asked Lee.
"I'm not that hungry, sorry", Asia replied.
"Can I have her food?" asked Aito.
"No, you didn't even finish your peas!" Lee said angrily at his son.
"Dear, just let it go", Stacy said trying to calm down her husband.


"No I will not let it go. This has gone on long enough! Why haven't you been eating?" Lee questioned.
"I ate before I came home, okay", Asia said troubled.
"What? You were out with that boy again weren't you?!" Lee said angrily.
"What if I were?" Asia replied.
"You are not to see that country bumpkin any longer. Hear me!" Lee yelled.
"Lee, she is a teenager. It's only natural that-", Stacy said but was cut off.
"I'm pregnant", Asia murmured.
"What?" Stacy said confused.


"I am pregnant with that country bumpkins' baby", Asia repeated.
"What?! What?" Lee said blown away.
"You heard me Dad!" Asia shouted.
"How could you?" Lee asked heartbroken.
"How could I? How could you? You've kept me caged up my entire life.
And the one night I actually was set loose, this happened", Asia argued.


"Don't you dare blame me for your mistakes child", Lee said.
"That's right, blame your mother", Karina said looking at her daughter-in-law.
"Excuse me Karina? How would you prevent something like this in today's society?
People are not traditional anymore. So don't you ever talk about my parenting!" Stacy snapped.
"This is why I don't like to visit often", said Asia's older brother Toni.


"You have two choices Asia: get rid of that thing inside of you or get out of my house.
Which will it be?" asked Lee.
"Lee, you shouldn't force her to choose", said Stacy worried.


Asia sat there silently staring at her father's face.
She had never seen him so angry in her entire being.
"Asia, you better answer me before I answer for you", Lee said rushing her.
"I...I...I, um", Asia stuttered.

Flint dragged himself to answer the front door.
"Asia? What are you doing here and why do you have luggage?" Flint asked worried.
He was about to say her name again, but then he realized the tears that were streaming down her face.


She stood there silently with a bare look on her face.
"Asia what happened? Did you get a ride here?" Flint asked but still didn't get an answer,
"Asia! Answer me dammit!".


"He..he said to choose one: get rid of the baby or leave. So..I left", she finally explained.
"My own parents kicked me out! Isn't that great?" Asia said hysterically.
Flint stared at her shaky palms. She was scared.


He walked up and put his arms around her, "It's okay, everything is going to be okay", he said.
Aware, Flint began to feel as Asia's tears rolled onto his t-shirt.
"Eh..is it?" Asia cried.
"Yes, it is" Flint reassured her.


Asia began to cry even more, "Sh, sh, it's okay", Flint said comforting her.
"Noah, let her inside already", Jeff said standing behind Flint.
"Were you guys there the whole time?!" Flint asked embarrassed his parents were watching them.


"Grrrrrr", growled Rufus.
"Rufus no!" Jeff said disciplining him.


"So this is Asia? Wow, my grand baby is going to look pretty. Hurry up and let her in son!" said Jamie.
"Hurry up before she catches a cold boy", said Jeff.


"You told them about us?" asked Asia.
"Yeah, I tell my parents everything", said Flint.
"I wish my parents were more understanding", said Asia.

Looks like Asia got the boot.
Does that mean she's living with Flint now?
Anthony was about to make a move on Mimi, but why did he back out?
Sounds like Grey is interested in the band, will they meet?
