Ombre & The Beats: Chapter One.

In Julian's room, Nick, who is 15 years old with his camera sneaks into Julian's room to record him. "Here he is, in his native habitat." Nick whispered. "No! Nick, not now." Julian shouted. "An eager, free-spirited artist ready...to share his songs with the world!" Nick said. Julian slammed his drawer full of songs. "Seriously, stop it! Can I not have five seconds of privacy? You know I don't like it when you sneak up on me." Julian said "Cool it, J. I come in peace." Nick said. "Two things. First of all, your hair is a total mess. As always." Julian said while criticizing Nick's hair. "Okay, whatever. What's the second thing?" Nick questioned.

"I don't like being on camera. Get out! Get out!" Julian shouted.

Now, I know what you're thinking. This many boys under one roof, recipe for disaster, right?

Well, if you're thinking that, you're stupid, and you should be ashamed of yourself. Because we actually get along really well. We're a family. Yeah, that was a lie.

"Calm down!" Shane shouted. "No! I'm not going to calm down! I spent my own money on this!" Nick responded shouting. "I need you to listen. Hello! Anybody? What's happening?!" Julian asked. "I was just trying to help out our little Saint Nick , and the next thing I know he's going all Katniss on me." Shane explained. "Look what he did to my favorite jean shorts. He turned it into a denim napkin." Nick said. "Denim napkin's actually a really good idea." Shane said. "Hey, so, if anyone asks I was here all morning." Ahmad said when he busted through the door with a bag of chips in his hand.

"We thought you were." Julian said.

"Exactly." Ahmad said.

"Look, I'm just tired of you improving my clothes, okay? I don't want to look like a fashion refugee from 1985." Nick said. "What do you mean? I think it's fine." Ahmad said. I'm glad you think that, Ahmad, because he did the same exact thing to your favorite leather jacket." Nick said while he threw the leather jacket into Ahmad's hand. Julian can see the frustration in Ahmad's face and he tries to calm Ahmad down. "Do you remember what Dr. Owen said about breathing before we react?" Julian questioned.

"I love it. It would way better like this." Ahmad when he ripped the left sleeve off of his grey leather jacket. "Why would you do that? What the hell are you doing?" Shane shouted in anger. The boys started arguing from left and right. Their Uncle Jermaine came back from the grocery store and seen the boys arguing and forced them to harmonize together so they could get along.

"Very nice. Nick, you were a little flat. Shana, you were a little sharp." Uncle Jermaine said. The boys started laughing. "Nick, I would love nothing more than to get you all a new wardrobe, but the store's not doing great. Money's tight until we sell the house, and I'm just trying to make the most of what we've got. And I know that I messed up and I'm sorry." Uncle Jermaine explained. "While we're coming clean, I might've possibly borrowed these without asking you." Ahmad gave back Julian's silver infinity ring his Dad gave him before he died. "I have a problem. Sorry." Ahmad apologized. "My room is locked." Julian said. "Yeah, but not in any serious way." Ahmad said.
