Morning Glory Chapter Two
Tam's POV
"Remind me why we're doing this again." I told the others.
"Doing what?" Megan asked, struggling her way through the underbrush.
"Oh, I don't know, sneaking off into the woods to practice a song when we each have a perfectly good house we could use!"
"Who woke up on the wrong side of the bed?" Kayla teased, walking easily behind Megan. I just shake my head. Sometimes there's just nothing you can say in reply.
"We're here!" Roxy exclaimed, "finally!" We all emerge in a reclusive corner of the local park. I look around, no one is there. Good. It's bad enough that I'm letting them talk me into this as it is. There is no way I am letting anyone else see me do this. Megan sets her iPod down on a rock.
"Ready?" General nodding and agreements follow. "Okay, go!" Megan scrambles so she is in front of the rest of us. The sound of drumsticks being clicked together starts to flow from the iPod.
We all sing together.
I don't want to make a scene
I don't want to let you down
Try to do my own thing
And I'm starting to figure it out
That it's alright
Keep it together wherever we go
And it's alright, oh well, whatever
Everybody needs to know
Megan took it from here, letting her voice pour from her lungs in an invisible river.
"You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try
And you need to know that you're the reason why"
Together again.
"Everybody needs to know
I don't even care when they say
You're a little bit off
Look me in the eye, I say
I could never get enough
'Cause it's alright
Keep it together wherever we go
And it's alright, oh well, whatever"
Roxy.
"You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try
And you need to know that you're the reason why"
Together.
"If it was raining, you would yell at the sun
Pick up the pieces when the damage is done
You say it's just another day in the shade
But look at what a mess we made"
Kayla.
"You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try"
And I finish
"You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?
You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly
And it's crazy that someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do, I'm not afraid to try
And you need to know that you're the reason why"
"Yes! She's gonna love it!" Roxy shouts as the music comes to a stop. And I agreed. I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins, I savored every second of the rush. That was when I heard the clapping.
We all whirl around at exactly the same second. There are two of them, one has darker skin and is wearing a black helmet, while the other is pale with dark hair. They look vaguely familiar.
"OHMYGOSH!" Roxy screams. "You're half of Big Time Rush!"
"Yep. I'm Logan," The dark haired one says, presumably for me, the girl standing there with a totally confused expression on her face.
"And I'm Carlos!" The guy in the helmet says, jumping up.
"I'm Isabella, but everyone calls me Roxy." Roxy says, apparently over her bizarre fan girl moment. "That's Kayla, Megan, and Tam." Megan is oddly silent, but I can see her sneaking glances at them from the corner of her eye. Kayla gives them a small wave.
"Cool." Carlos says. There is a small moment of awkward silence.
"We heard you guys singing." Logan blurts out. "You guys are good, really, really good."
"Thanks," Megan whispers, smiling slightly. Okay, what is up with that girl?
"So what brings you guys here? We thought you guys would be in LA, I mean, you're not on tour or anything, right?" Roxy asks.
"Actually, we're with Gustavo. The head guy, Griffin, wants him to find another vocal group." Logan says.
"He means band." Carlos tells us. Another moment of awkward silence. I look over at Kayla, she is trying really hard not to laugh.
"Would it be okay if we called him and asked him to see you guys? Because you really are really, really, good."
"YES! Girls, call Moms!" We each pull out a cell phone and call our Mom. A brief summary of the phone conversation, each set of parents said yes, but only if we do it at Kayla's house, and they get to see us perform too.
*Fifteen minutes later*
Kayla POV
"Parent Huddle!" My living room was filled to bursting with people. All of our parents huddled together, talking in hushed voices. Tam, Roxy, Megan, myself, Logan, Carlos, Gustavo, and his assistant Kelly all watched them excitedly. All the little brothers and sisters had their own huddle, except for Roy, who somehow managed to get excepted into the parent huddle, too. "Okay!" My dad said, coming out of the huddle, apparently having been elected parental spokes person. "The girls can go,"
"Yes!"
"IF! Only if they promise to each call their parents every night and if they take Roy with them." Ahem, WHAT!
"Yeah!" Roy chipped in.
"So you trust Kayla's twelve year old brother, but not three seventeen year olds and a sixteen year old?" Roxy asked. "How does that make sense?"
"WHO CARES?" Gustavo shouted. "I HAVE MY NEW BAND!" Wow, that guy is loud.
He does have a point. The girls and I all gathered together and started to do our happy dance. "We're going to Hollywood! We're going to Hollywood!" I pulled Carlos (That guy is SO cute!) into it, and Roxy did the same for Logan. Roy joined up, and soon everyone was jumping up and down and laughing.
So ends Chapter One.
