A Little Bit Farther: Chapter 1: Running Away
I slowly started to strum on my guitar in the middle of the sidewalk. My best friend, Trinity, and I had ran away from our adopted fathers house after he had tried to beat us. Trinity and I met for the first time about six years ago, I was ten and she was eleven then. Well as we cycled through we would almost meet up at some point in the system very often. Well that was the start, see we have a connection. Some say it's like were twins because we can pretty much talk without talking. Really it's just I know her facial expressions and her enough to know how the conversation would go. It was actually pretty cool, and really useful at most times. Anyway, I'll tell you what we look like now. Trinity has black hair that has long bangs that kind of frame her face and cover her eyes. She has grey eyes and was currently wearing grey jeans with a blue dress that the bottom reached her knees. I had black hair with dark blue eyes, and my hair was longish and straight and there were two pieces that framed my eyes. I was wearing dark jeans and a black shirt with black sunglasses and gloves. So we ran away from that drunken idiot, and decided to go on the streets since Trinity would soon be eight-teen and could just become my legal guardian for the short time until I was eight-teen as well. We could both play the guitar and I could play the piano as well, we decided to sit on a sidewalk and play one of the songs I had written. Oh, yea I forgot to tell you that we can sing, and people say our singing is 'excellent' or 'magical'. Although I was lead vocal, Trinity's Voice and mine fit together almost like it was made to be. Well we needed some money so we opened our guitar cases and put them in front of us and we started to sing one of the songs I wrote while we were in the system. It was called Nobody's Home.
I couldn't tell you ,why he felt that way,he felt it everyday.And I couldn't help him,I just watched him make the same mistakes again.
as we finished the very first verse a car with windows went past us and I saw a teenager look at us and listen to our music as he past. He had brown curly hair and my eyes followed the car until it was out of sight.
What's wrong, what's wrong now?Too many, too many problems.Don't know where he belongs, where he belongs.he wants to go home, but nobody's home.It's where he lies, broken inside.With no place to go, no place to go to dry his eyes.Broken inside.Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why.You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.Be strong, be strong now.Too many, too many problems.Don't know where he belongs, where he belongs.he wants to go home, but nobody's home.It's where he lies, broken inside.With no place to go, no place to go to dry his eyes.Broken inside.His feelings he hides.His dreams he can't find.he's losing his mind.he's fallen behind.he can't find his place.
He's losing his faith.he's fallen from grace.he's all over the place.Yeah,ohhe wants to go home, but nobody's home.It's where he lies, broken inside.With no
place to go, no place to go to dry his eyes.Broken inside.he's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeahhe's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yea
(Nobody's Home, by Avril Lavigne and altered by me.)
As Trinity and I finished there was applause from beside us and standing there was a man. He started to walk over to us.
" That was good." he said " Are you here alone?"
Trinity and I nodded our heads
" Are they Alive?" he asked
Again, we both shook our heads
"Ah, well my name is Peter and I have a deal for you." said Peter
Then peter explained about how he wants to sign us up for Hollywood Records, and was actually here scouting for talent after some guys named 'The Jonas Brothers' were found here. I looked at Trinity and we weighed the pros and cons, and finally we decided to try this new life Peter was giving us a try.
" Excellent, now I would also like to be your legal guardian so that we can do this properly" Peter said
" Okay, as long as were not adopted but your only a legal guardian, then it's fine." we stated at the same time.

So now me and Trinity are at Hollywood records, recording for our first CD. Peter has been great helping us adapt and now were actually starting to get pretty famous. Once our CD hit's the stores Peter says that we may go on tour with some band as their opening to get more famous, then go from their. We now had a drummer and a bass player. Their names are Jessica and Miranda. Miranda plays drums and Jessi, Jessica, plays bass. I know, I am the only guy in the band. Sad really.
" Okay guys Fully Alive for you last song then were done with the CD" Peter Said
"Fully Alive"Telling Layla's story spoken'Bout how all her bones are brokenHammers fall on all the piecesTwo months in the cover creasesFully aliveMore than mostReady to smile and love lifeFully alive and she knowsHow to believe in futuresAll my complaints shrink to nothingI'm ashamed of all my somethingsShe's glad for one day of comfortOnly because she has sufferedFully aliveMore than mostReady to smile and love lifeFully alive and she knowsHow to believe in futuresFully aliveMore than mostReady to smile and love lifeFully alive and she knowsHow to believe in futuresFully aliveMore than mostReady to smile and love lifeFully alive and she knowsHow to believe in futures
"Good Job, Sage Your voice was perfect, Trinity the guitar was awesome, Jessica great on the bass, and Miranda no one can match you on those drums."
A month after this and our CD came out, and the band, Comet Dust, walked in to find peter talking to someone on the phone and he sounded really excited.
" Okay, will do. Thanks again Mr. Jonas" Peter said as he hung up. Jonas, it sounded familiar. Oh well.
"Guys you have a tour officially booked." Peter stated proudly
" No way" said Trinity "with who?"
"The Jonas Brothers" said Peter
" They're famous, but our music is really…different from theirs." I said out loud
"Yes, but they have a lot of fans and they're friendly so it's perfect." He said
" Okay so they're will be two buses one for the boys and another for the girls" he said as fast as he could
" Ok" I murmured, then I thought about what he had said and…
"WHAT!" I yelled "Why can't I go with the girls?"
"So they have privacy" said Peter
" Fine" I said as Trinity gave me a look
" Be at the this address tomorrow at 5:30 A.M so we can go and you have your first concert that night" said Peter, and as I drove my car to the house so I could go to sleep, I groaned at how early we had to get up. Small price to pay for our first tour ever though, I thought excitedly. As soon as I got I home I fell to sleep dreaming about concerts across the U.S.
