Author Notes: ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ indicates passage of time or change of POV
.
Liz is somewhat based on myself, because well, first rule of writing = Write what you know. And I know me…so there!! *grin*
I’m sooooo sorry it took so long for me to get this chapter out, but as some of you know, I was on vacation for three weeks, and when I got back my computer crashed, so I had to get it repaired and that took another two weeks. Then my computer comes back, and I don’t have time to write because my sister and her boyfriend is staying with me for two weeks, and just to make matters worse…I have writers block!!!!
So if this chapter majorly sucks…I apologize in advance! I was starting to think I wasn’t meant to write the damn thing! LOL
Please remember to feed the hungry muse!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They had just arrived at Orlando’s flat when Liz’ phone rang,
“You don’t mind if I get this, do you?”
“Nah, we’ll just go look at some take-out menus while you talk!” Elijah said while leading the way into the living room.
Liz stayed behind, rummaging through her bag for her cell phone.
When she finally managed to find the phone, she had missed the call. She looked at the display, seeing that it was Jack, from the band, who had called. She decided to call right back, just in case se forgot later.
She dialled the number and waited a few moments before Jack picked up.
“Hi Jack, you just called yeah?” She said.
“Hey Liz! Yeah, I called about the ultimatum you made yesterday.” He told her.
“Oh…so you’ve come to a decision then?” Liz asked.
“Yeah we have actually…”Jack said.
Liz didn’t like the tone of is voice. It really didn’t sound promising for her.
“So what is it then?” She asked, although she wasn’t sure she wanted to know the answer. Jack had been quiet for too long.
“We’ve decided to let you go…” He told her, “I’m sorry Liz.”
“Yeah…” Liz said, trying not to let her emotions show, “I’m sure you are…Bye Jack!”
She hung up the phone and took a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions inck. ck.
“Fuck!” she whispered to herself, “Fuck, fuck, fuckety fuck!”
She really hadn’t expected them to fire her. She had done so much for them, and she would have been able to do so much more.
When she started managing them they hadn’t even recorded a demo yet. She had gotten them gigs. She had helped them earn enough to pay for studio time, so they could make demos. She had set up meetings rec record companies, bar owners and the like. They never would have gotten so far on their own. They had an enormous fan base considering they’d never released an album, and that was in large due to her hard work promoting them.
“Shit!” Liz slid down the wall to the floor. She needed a minute to collect herself before joining the others in the living room.
Orlando, Elijah and Brie were all chatting away, discussing whether they should get Japanese or Italian, when Liz entered the room.
“Hey Liz!” Brie said, “Japanese or Italian?”
Liz, taken aback by the sudden question took a moment to think before answering,
“Er…Japanese?” she said smiling, although her smile didn’t reach her eyes.
“Thank you!” Brie said raising her hands, “Elijah was insisting on Italian even though Orli and I were voting for Japanese!”
“Oh Liz,” Elijah sighed, “I was so counting on you!” He shook his head disappointedly.
“Yeah, sorry about that ‘Lij, but I’m really in the mood for some rice and veggies…”Liz said chuckling.
To Orlando it was painfully obvious that something had happenhilehile Liz was on the phone. He decided to find out what it was.
“Liz can you help me get some drinks from the kitchen?” He asked, “Then we can order our food when we get back.”
“Yeah, sure!” She replied as she followed him into the kitchen.
When they entered the kitchen Orlando closed the door and turned to Liz,
“Are you alright luv?” he asked her.
Liz’ eyes widened, surprised by the question, but she decided that he probably just meant in general.
“I’m fine!” she said, smiling at him, “Where do you keep the glasses?”
Orlando went to the refrigerator,
“Over there.” He pointed to a cupboard, “Don’t lie. I can tell you’re not fine.” He continued.
Liz went to the cupboard, where she took out four glasses,
“Well it’s nothing important, so don’t worry about it.” She said turning back to face him.
He smiled softly at her, setting the drinks on the table before walking to stand in front of her. He brushed a stray hair away from her cheek before saying,
“You’re still lying.
Liz sighed, “Look just forget it ok? I’ll get over it.”
“I know you will, but I don’t want you to feel miserable for the rest of the night, so just tell me alright?” he said, bending his knees to be able to look into her eyes.
“Fine! Jack called. They fired me!” She said, sounding angrier than she felt. In reality she was more hurt than she was angry.
“They fired you? Why?” Orlando asked surprised.
“Well I guess it’s my own fault really,” Liz said, “I gave them an ultimatum. Either they got rid of Matt, or they got rid of me. Obviously they chose to get rid of me.” She walked over and sat down on one of the chairs surrounding the table. “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, they’ve known Matt much longer, but I really thought they wanted the ban to go somewhere, and as long as Matt is there, that isn’t going to happen. He just causes too many problems.” She leaned back in the chair and looked down at her hands.
“Well you know what luv? It’s their loss!” Orlando said, taking one of her hands in his.
“I Know.” Liz said, “I know that, but I can’t help but feel like I failed somehow!” The tears were silently trailing down her cheeks as she continued, “For the past year I’ve been working my butt off for them. I’ve spent every single spare minute of my time trying to get them gigs or a deal or something. God! I even used my own money, the money I earn waitressing which isn’t a lot, to help pay for their studio time.” Liz sniffled and wiped her eyes with her free hand.
Orlando reached up and wiped one lone tear that Liz had missed, before engulfing her in a hug.
“You know, it’s their loss!” He said softly.
“You“You said that already.” Liz chuckled, “But you’re right. It is their loss!”
“Right!” Orlando agreed smiling at her, “You’ll have another band to manage soon enough…a better band!”
Liz laughed slightly at Orlando’s excitement. She stood up from the chair before giving Orlando a hug and a kiss on the cheek,
“Thanks Orli! I feel better now!” She said.
Before Orlando could respond, they were interrupted by Elijah walking into the kitchen.
“Jeez! What’s taking so long?” He said before noticing Liz and Orlando with their arms around each other, “Oh…never mind!” He continued smirking, “but could you finish up? Brie and I are starving!”
Liz couldn’t help but laugh at Elijah’s whining,
“Relax Frodo! You’ll get your food soon.” She said grabbing the glasses before walking past him into the other room.
Elijah gave Orlando two thumbs up before following her.
Orlando laughed and shook his head before following the other two with the drinks.
When Orlando came into the room, Brie and Liz were sitting together on the couch looking at the menu for the Japanese food, while Elijah was looking through Orlando’s CD collection.
“So have you all decided what to get?” Orlando asked sitting down in an armchair.
“I’m definitely getting some Kappa Maki rolls!” Liz said smiling at him.
“Ok, that actually sounds good!” Brie said, “I think I’m with you on that one.”
“Yeah but you have to have more than that!” Elijah piped up.
“Right!” Liz said, “Which is why I’m also having the rice with veggies and tofu!”
“Oh and you know what else?” Elijah said after putting Coldplay on the stereo.
“No Lij’,” Orlando said, “What else?”
“We should get some Saké too!” Elijah said sounding like a little kid.
“Oh! I love Saké!” Liz said, “Besides, it would be wrong to eat Japanese food without Saké!”
“Liz! Don’t encourage him!” Brie laughed.
“But it’s true!” Liz said looking at Brie with wide eyes.
“Right…so I guess we’re having Saké!” Orlando said, “So should I order now?”
“Yes! Please! I’m so hungry I have a hole in my stomach!” Elijah said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Two and a half hours later they had eaten their food and drunk their sake and a couple of Japanese beers.
They were all sitting in front of the TV watching a movie and just hanging out.
The s has had decided, not consulting the guys that they should watch “Down with Love”, and they were now busily discussing the hotness of Ewan McGregor.
Orlando and Elijah did their best to ignore the conversation and just watch the movie, and after about fifteen minutes the girls finally settled down.
Brie and Elijah were taking up one couch, and Elijah was leaning back against the armrest with Brie leaning against him. He had his arms around her waist and was tg tog to discretely kiss and lick her neck. The whole secrecy thing was of course destroyed by Brie giggling every time he touched a ticklish spot, and there were many of them.
Liz and Orlando were sitting next to each other on the other couch and Orlando was watching Liz more than he was watching the movie.
Liz was completely lost in the movie, her eyes locked on the screen. Every once in a while a small sigh would escape her lips when something romantic happened, and that would make Orlando smile.
It became clear to Orlando, just by watching Liz, that she was a sucker for anything romantic. He decided that he would have to use this new knowledge to win her over. Another thing had become apparent as well. He was falling for her, and he was falling fast. This surprised him, as he was really not one to just go falling fore gie girl he didn’t really know, but what little he did know had him desperately wanting to know more.
He consoled himself by remembering that he wasn’t in love with her, not yet anyway, but he really really liked her.
He shook his head slightly and tried to focus back on the movie, but he clearly wasn’t succeeding as his eyes kept drifting back to Liz.
She was nothing like the girls he usually went for. The only thing she really had in common with his former girlfriends was her blonde hair and blue eyes.
Liz was a slightly chubby girl, not the skinny model type he was known for dating. She seemed confident andnd-ond-off-ish, like someone who didn’t let anyone get too close. The kind of girl who would scare most guys away, but Orlando was pretty confident that most of it was just an act. He could tell, even from just knowing her for less than 24 hours, that she wasn’t as together as she would have people believe.
