Pushing open the door of the gym Thorn shook her head and let the earphones fall to her neck. She took a look around for a moment before slipping her membership card from her jacket pocket and scanning it. Stepping through into the main area of the gym she again paused to look around as she slipped her jacket from her shoulder. She was wearing a plain black tank top and a pair of extra long shorts that looked more like jeans that had been cut up. Drops of different coloured paint could still be seen on them. Carrying her jacket over her shoulder she walked over to a exercise bike and climbed on, slipping her earphones back in. Thorn was glad the gym was 24 hour because once again she was having trouble sleeping and didn't much feel like going to a club. She hadn't been out much lately and was spending more time by herself or with close friend.

Erika was pedaling quickly changing the gears to make it more difficult. She hadn't been able to sleep and was feeling upset with herself and her family. She had picked up a messege from her mother asking if she would be there to visit anytime soon. Yeah right, as if she would submit herself to that anytime soon. She shook her head and pedaled faster the music in her iPOD pounding in her head. She stopped pedaling and yanked the phones out of her ears, she bent her head; this was giving her a headache.

Thorn leaned against the handlebars as she pedalled, she didn't seem too bothered about the exercise but was flicking slowly through the music on the iPod she was holding. Keeping healthy wasn't really the reason she was here but she had hoped the exercise would help make her tired so she could get at least a few hours of sleep.

Erika glanced around the gym; it was kinda empty there was another girl nearby on an exercise bike as well. Erika nodded to her and started slowly pedaling again she left her earphones out. The humming of the bike wheel was kind of soothing.

Thorn glanced up as she noticed an odd movement through the corner of her eye. She glanced up to see a girl on one of the bikes next to her. She nodded back in response and looked the girl over for a few moments before looking back down to her iPod, still trying to find something to listen to.

"I guess the people in this town are friendlyer than-" Erika's thoughts were cut off as she saw the girl give her the "once over" "She's gay..." she shrugged to herself then said to the girl "Rough night?"

Thorn nodded a little though she did not look up from her iPod this time. "Yeah, not really good at the whole sleeping thing" it was obvious from her accent she was british though it was only so thick because she had been home only a few days before. "and you?" she asked.

Erika sighed "Coudln't sleep either...to much on the brain." She went back to pedaling, it seemed that allot of people in the world had the same kind of problems they just dealt with it in a different way. She figured excercise was her best bet at dealing with problems instead of eating comfort foods. She could lose wieght thanks to her problems.

Thorn nodded as she finally found something that suited her mood. Music was a main part of her life and always had been, always would be. She put in one earphone but let the other continue to swing from her neck, not sure if her conversation with this girl was over. "Anything bad?" she asked, not sure the girl would want to talk about it if it was.

Erika hesitated before answering, she didn't like telling people she really didn't know all about her and yet this girl might understand. "My parents aren't very happy with my life choices, first I decide I want to act and then I tell them I'm bi." She laughed "Sure made my mom's day, now she wants me to come and visit more often but why should i go over there when I know she'll just act all mad at me?"

Thorn laughed shortly before letting a smile slip onto her face. "Ah know all about that love" she said, her eyes on the opposite wall now as she continued to peddal. "Every christmas my parents expect me to fly back home so they can try push a guy on me" she explained "plus the whole singer/artist thing didn't really go down too well with them either. Rich family" she said, adding the last part as an afterthought.

Erika smiled "I see. I guess they don't get that the best thing they can do for us is let us be who we are." She was quiet for a moment then said "So you're a musician too?" She normally wouldn't have kept talking but she was tired and when she was tired her guard went down.

Thorn nodded just a little "it's more of a hobby, I love it but I doubt I'll ever make anything big out of it. Mostly it's just a chance to have a laugh with friends on stage, doubt I'm good enough for much bigger" she answered, though the answer didn't seem to bother her at all and she seemed quite happy with it. "It pays, I guess you can say I do a bit of everything. It's all good" she added

Erika nodded "Cool. I write and sing too." She stopped pedaling and leaned forward "I met this girl who offered to help me in my acting, she was pretty nice." (sorry short post)

Thorn nodded a little "you were lucky then, not everyone around here is as kind as that" Thorn replied, still leaning forwards over the handlebars as she spoke. "I'm Thorn by the way" she said, realising she was yet to give her name.
