Acceptance

“I can’t afford another scandal.” Matthew announced sadly. “But considering the fact that our songs sounded amazing, and there were no visible signs that we were under influence, this time it’s not a bad situation.”

“If we weren't under the influence, we wouldn't even be singing.” Jo admitted honestly, but seeing the consternation on the faces of her companions, she knew that she had to explain what she meant. “This is not my opinion, only my sister and my parents think so.”

“Fuck it all, badass. We're adults, we're allowed to drink alcohol.” Patrick summed up. He had stopped living up to the high expectations of his father or the rest of the family a long time ago.

He didn't plan to show off his face in public at all, and he didn't want his music to be associated with him personally, but he knew perfectly well that he couldn't go back in time. What happened in the past stays in the past and he had to face the consequences.
