AN: Quick note. This is sort of a interview after the band breaks up.

Young with Fame

Prologue

"I never understood why Noah wanted, me in a band-with himself in it. I thought that it would be a... it would be a nice side project and maybe good on a college application for Julliard. I-we never thought that the band would become so big. It didn't occur to me that our band had become so big in just- just our little town of Lima, Ohio. Never. And I never in a million years thought or dreamed that our band would ever become as big as it was."

"I remember- one of my first memories was attending a concert with my father. My father left when I was young, too young to remember any memories of him. But I remember my first concert with him, I have no idea who played what day or whatever but I remember being on his shoulders and him looking up at me with a smile. That was one of the reasons why I decided I wanted to become a musician because I wanted other fans to have that special moment and remember it forever."

"I was self conscious the whole time I was in school. Even when I was in the band, even when there were screaming fans yelling my name. That was what drove me to accept the offer that Puck gave me when he wanted to start the band-the confidence that I never had. I thought 'Hey, do this and live a little and it might give you some confidence in yourself' and so I did. But even when those fans chanted my name when I would sing a song or when I would walk down the street I still didn't have the confidence.

"There was this girl I was dating at the time when the band just started. She meant the world to me- I had bought her a promise ring: promising I wouldn't hurt her in anyway and I would be by her side when we did get married. That focused me on wanting to be successful and not just in music but anything I would do. I wanted to provide for that girl and give her everything I could. I wanted what she wanted and I thought she wanted what I wanted."

"I thought I was the biggest thing Lima had ever saw even before the record sales and the sell out tours; I was the captain of the football team, basketball, and baseball. Every girl who walked down the hall stared at me- even Rachel. Slowly as I began to mature later in life I figured it wasn't because I was this great guy with an ego it was because of my status in school or of my band. I had been a complete douche through my early life."

"And when we were on top I never had a nightmare where we were at the bottom. I thought we were running on a forever-lasting gas that would power us through till the end. But we ran out of the gas, fast, especially in the lime light of the world. They saw every brake down, every crash, every stop on the way."

"Some where from the beginning to the end we all had lost what was important. We all thought it was promoting, public appearances, spending money, we had forgot about the real reason why we did this: the music. Music begin to become sloppier and not in a good raw kind of album it was a wreak with bad riffs and bad lyrics."

" BUT when on a stage preforming, I had all the confidence in the world and once I finished a performance I would come back down and wreak my life. I had confidence once I was on something that didn't make at all the person I was. I relied on a toxic for my confidence that toxic was my friend and my only friend from that moment."

"Having a relationship in the public eye is tremendously hard. This person is hooking up with this person. This person cheated on this person with that person. This person divorced this person because of whatever reason. I failed to do what I promised; I disappointed my family I disappointed that special someone I disappointed myself."

"On stage it was my music I made I wrote; backstage it was those fans are mine those girls are mine these staff are mine. In public it was take my picture this is my fame the I bought this with my money. MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE. Douche."

"We made it fast and we all destroyed it fast."

AN: Another quick note. I just wanted to say that my other story "From the moment on" is currently in the works but i really wanted to publish this and focus my attention on this. I wanted to do a story like this because I really haven't seen a story where the characters start at high school, so, thats why I wrote this.

So what did you think? Can you guess which one said which?
