The twilight characters are not ours. If they were breaking dawn would be much naughtier. ;)
Chapter 1: Damn Alice
I have a migraine.
But that just comes along with the territory when you work at a Record Label.
You would expect me to be used to it by now after working at Sinful Sounds for a year and a half. But this was not what I had expected to be doing with my life. I had gone to college and majored in literature hoping to become a lyricist at some point. After graduating college I took a job as a secretary here along with my two best friends Rosalie and Alice in hopes of making connections in the music industry. Soon my boss Mr. Newton took notice of me and told me I had an ear for music. So he offered me a job as a type of talent scout that would listen to auditions and figure out who to sign and who to say goodbye to. That's what I was doing today.
I sat in front of the sound proof window that separated the sound booth and the area in which I did my work and played with one of my brown curls. I looked up in time to see yet another Screamo band finish some song about death.
The band exited the sound booth and came over to where I was seated.
"What did you think of that Ms. Swan?" the lead singer stated with a proud grin. As if you could even consider what just occurred within that booth music!
"I'm sorry Mr. Newton the head of Sinful Sounds is interested in a different genre of music." I told the man as kindly as I could.
Oh how I wish I could sit upfront and sign in names with Alice and Rosalie my two best friends. But no, I had to have an ear for music and sit in here listening to horrible bands with pants that are way too tight for them.
My internal rant was interrupted when the lead singer cleared his throat.
"Well, I'm interested in your opinion Ms. Swan. Did you hear or see anything you liked." He asked with what I can only assume to be his attempt of a flirty smile.
I tried to hold back the little bit of vomit that had begun to form in my mouth and told him "No I'm good."
"If you ever change your mind here is my number" he said as he passed me a piece of paper with his digits.
"Ok, will do."
As soon as they left I threw his number out and cleaned my hands with Purell.
"You got another one, and I have a feeling about them" Alice stated as she ran past my door.
Where that little pixie got her energy from was beyond me.
I popped another aspirin and seated myself as comfortably as I could in my chair and awaited the next band. What entered was not what I expected.
I'm not saying I'm against all girl bands its just that usually the prettier and more fashionably they dress the less they were into the music. And by the looks of things they were going to suck. I doubt Alice will be right about these girls.
"Hello, we were told to ask for Miss Swan." The tall brunette with aqua colored eyes (reminding me of a tropical paradise) and an amazing figure said in my direction.
"Yes, that would be me."
"Oh, well its nice to meet you I'm Sydney Amore lead vocalists/guitarist, and this is Roxy Petit our drummer" she said as she pointed to her right towards a 5"2 fragile looking girl. She had shoulder length brown tresses and a fashionable swoop bang. Roxy smiled up at me sweetly, her brown eyes twinkled. She reminded me oddly of Alice except Roxy was tan.
"And Angela Weber our base guitar player" a modest looking girl waved at me shyly.
"Together we are called My Anti-Drug" Sydney said.
I quickly took down some of their information and band name.
"Nice to meet you, you may head into the booth" might as well get on with the torture.
(Let the Flames begin By Paramore)
"What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things
A memory remains just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen,
So let the flames begin
So let the flames begin"
Oh. My. God. Was that the Amazonian beauty singing? Sydney has some pipes and was incredible on guitar.
I stared at them awestruck. Roxy had amazing rhythm and was extremely skilled on the drums. I looked over at Angela and saw her playing the base guitar with such concentration it was inspiring.
"Somewhere weakness is our strength,
And I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret such selfishness
My pain and all the trouble caused,
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all, and
Growing beneath it all, and...
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing out loud
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what will be, oh glory
Reaching as I sink down into light.
Reaching as I sink down into light."
I continued my staring until Roxy noticed me gawking and told the other girls to stop playing. She looked over at me and yelled in a chime like voice "Is everything alright?"
I quickly regained my composure and motioned for them to exit the booth.
They all quickly exchanged confused glances and began making their way towards me.
I could not hold myself in anymore. "Wow that was amazing! You're exactly what Sinful Sounds has been searching for!"
They looked at me as if I was crazy.
Not that I could blame them. I would think someone was crazy too if they were screaming at the top of their lungs while I only stood a few feet away.
But soon what I had just said registered in their minds and their looks of worry changed to those of unexplainable joy.
"Are you serious?" Sydney said.
"Completely, on behalf of Sinful Sounds I would like to sign you under our label." Damn Alice was right….
I know short. Sorry guys we just need to set a few things up here it will all work out in the end and I promise the chapters will get longer. Yes, we created new characters, but don't worry, they are just being used to aid the story!
