Hey guys! So, the other day I was just listening to a playlist on spotify and I was inspired immediately. I thought I would share this with you. Just letting you know this isnt betad. But if anyone is interested in helping me as a beta, let me know. Anyway, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the songs. Enjoy!
The sounds that they were making caused a wide smile to stretch upon Alec's plump lips. His eyes fell shut as he allowed his fingers to work at the strings of his guitar in synchronicity with the music pumping around him. These were the moments he lived for. When everything just fell into place. They had been working on this song for weeks and nothing was working. Until now.
Alec was the lead guitarist of Shadowhunters, a band he created with his adopted brother Jace, his sister Isabelle, and their friend Lydia. They had started the band when they were seniors in High school. Five years and two albums later, they had finally made it big. In just two weeks time, they were headlining their own national tour. Everything they had been working towards for years was finally paying off.
Isabelle's voice faded out as the song came to an end. Turning the face the others, she was beaming. "I think we got it guys. Just in time for tour too!" That earned an excited 'woop' from the rest of her band mates. Unhooking the guitar from around his muscular shoulders and placing it on its rightful stand, Alec nodded in agreement. He had written this particular song, and it gave him a rush when they managed to make one of his songs work.
"As exciting as this is guys, we really need to decide on the supporting act." Alec said. They had managed to narrow it down to three bands. "I vote no on Rock Solid Panda. They're too indie for our sound." Lydia chimed in, adding a nonchalant shrug. Jace nodded along in agreement.
"Okay, so Rock Solid Panda is out. What do we think between King of Thieves and Liar Liar?" Alec asked as he took a seat on top of an amp pulling his laptop open. "I don't know. Liar Liar has an amazing sound. And that lead singer is kind of nerd hot." Isabelle said, a smirk upon her lips. "Our tour is not a way for you to get laid, Iz." Lydia said with a roll of her eyes.
"I agree with Izzy, they have a great sound. But I don't know. I think King of Thieves has a fire that Liar Liar doesn't." Jace added with a shrug. Alec had pulled up the email with the pictures of the bands that their manager, Hodge Starkweather had sent through to them. Everytime, his eyes were immediately drawn to the front man of King of Thieves. He had to agree with Jace, they had a fire that Liar Liar just didn't have.
"I agree. I think we should go with King of Thieves. What do you guys think?" Alec asked as he managed to pull his eyes away from the images on his screen to look at his sister. Isabelle just gave a nod. Lydia mimicking the action. "Awesome. King of Thieves it is. Ill let Hodge know."
Two weeks had never passed as fast as they had for Alec. All of a sudden they were loading their bags onto the bus they would be spending the next few months of their lives on.
"Wow." Gasped Izzy as she boarded the bus. It was fancier than Alec had anticipated. He didn't think that they had enough money to afford a bus like this.
Of course Jace had already claimed his bunk and Lydia had found the bunk with the closest power outlet. Izzy had slung an arm around her brothers shoulders a bright smile consuming her features.
"We've made it big brother. We're finally going on tour." Isabelle's words brought a smile to Alec's lips as he nodded his head. They definitely had made it big.
It took them a while to get to the first venue. By the time the bus stopped, they were fighting to get out.
As soon as they had loaded their gear into the venue, they were taken to their individual dressing rooms. Alec was glad to have some peace and quiet. Of course he loved being around his band mates. But sometimes when they were excited they could be really really loud.
They had 45 minutes to themselves before they had soundcheck. And so Alec pulled out his green leather-bound notebook that Isabelle had gotten him for his birthday and began to write lyrics.
His songwriting process was different everytime. Sometimes the melody would come first, sometimes the lyrics would come first. It wasn't an exact science. But through the entire bus ride here, he had a chorus running through his mind.
Putting pen to paper, he allowed the lyrics to just flow through him.
I just wanna stay in the sun where I find
I know it's hard sometimes
Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind
I know it's hard sometimes
Yeah, I think about the end just way too much
But it's fun to fantasize
On my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was
But it's fun to fantasize
Alec sat back, reading over the lyrics on the page in front of him before beginning to hum a sort of melody. Shaking his head, he cleared his through before trying another one.
Fifteen minutes later he heard a knock on his door indicating it was time for soundcheck. And time to meet the other band joining them for the duration of their tour.
Okay, so I know this is a slow starting fanfic but it will get there, I promise! Let me know what you think. Ill try and update again as soon as possible.
I have a lot of ideas for this one so it could turn out to be a long one. Hope you stick around!
Remember guys, reviews are love. Let me know what you think!
