Chapter 1
"Come on!" Ashley yelled, grabbing my wrist and turning me towards him. "This demo actually sounds really, really good." I sighed and looked at him seriously. I took in his dark jeans and Misfits tee shirt. It's been his style since seventh grade, which also happened to be the same year he handed me his first demo. They haven't gotten worse for say… but they haven't gotten better either. I looked into his pleading brown eyes and sighed.
"Look, you said that the last- what ten times? What makes this different?" I asked him, trying to save myself from having to listen to the CD on the way home.
"We have a new singer and he is amazing! It's ridiculous!" He exclaimed as we walked out the school. He's handed me about five demos since our two years here. He put his hands on my shoulders and stood in front of me. "Please?" He asked softly. I tried to look anywhere but his face but failed miserably. I stepped away from him and ran a hand through my hair.
"Darn you and your Bambi eyes." I muttered, sighing. "Fine. Fine, give me the disk. I better not regret this." I said.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He said, a grin splitting his face.
"Yeah, but really this better be good." He looked at me with a mischievous glimmer in his eye.
"Since when have I given you a bad demo?" He asked.
"When did you first give me a demo again?" I asked, smirking. He started walking towards me- in turn making me walk backwards. I bumped into the wall which was right by the door. He smirked as I neared me once again. I tried my luck and bolted for the door. He wrapped his arm around my waist and yanked me off the ground and over his shoulder.
"Hey!" I screamed. "Put me down!" I noticed four guys walking out from the school. I panicked and pounded my fists on his back, causing him to laugh harder then he already was. I rolled my eyes and reached up for his hair. I grabbed the hair that hung by his shoulders and yanked as hard as I could. He released me but I fell forward. I screamed, closed my eyes, and put my arms out in front of me. I expected to feel impact on my hands in about three seconds when I felt something push my body and catch me. I peeked through my lashed to see a mass of black hair and pale skin. I was in a guy's arms, a foot or two away from where I was supposed to land. I heard Jinxx, Jake, and Christian talking to Ashley as laughter arose from the group. I groaned and stood up. Ashley looked up at me.
"What did you pull my hair for?" He asked, still rubbing his scalp.
"What did you drop me for?" I shot back. The guy who caught me snickered. I turned to him. "Thanks for catching me." I said. He shrugged.
"No problem." He stood up and I got a good look at him. He had shoulder length black hair that was parted on the right, causing some of it to cover his face. He wore black jeans, a black tank top and a black denim jacket with a black scarf. I finally made eye contact with him and was captivated immediately by his piercing blue eyes. He held out a hand. "Andy." His voice was so deep. I quickly composed myself and shook his hand.
"Dana." I said with a slight nod. "So you're the new lead singer?" I asked. I could feel the guy's gazes on me. Even though I wasn't in the band, if I didn't like the kid he didn't stand a second look. He nodded and leaned in towards me.
"To be honest, they really need me." I grinned.
"If you're as good as they say you are you better not leave." He chuckled and pulled away. I slid a hand behind my back and gave the guys a discreet thumbs up. I heard them release a breath and turned to watch them relax their tensed positions. Christian was the first to break the silence.
"So are we going to practice or what?" He asked. After a chorus of yes's we all piled into Ashley's car and drove to his garage. The guys plugged in their basses, guitars, and mics while I sat on top of one of the taller amp's and scrolled through my twitter feed.
"Fall out Boy, Asking Alexandria, Bring Me the Horizon, and Sleeping with Sirens- you really listen to these guys?" Andy asked, appearing behind me.
"Yeah. Something wrong?" I asked. He shrugged.
"Just surprised. You don't seem like the kind of person who would listen to that." He said.
"Yet I just hang around with a rock band?" I asked sarcastically. He rolled his eyes.
"Hey Andy! We don't have all day!" Ashley yelled. Andy smirked and walked over. He walked up to the mic and closed his eyes as he waited for his cue to sing. When he opened his eyes, pure determination glittered in them and a dark smile filled his face. He opened his mouth to sing and as he did, I was frozen and my mouth fell open.
Tell me what you think! Thanks for reading and as always...
Fly On!
