12:59a.m.
Gustavo was nervous , he has to think of something fast. Griffen, the CEO of Rocque Records and his boss, was going to show up in the next 5 hours .Shit. The record company was currently doing pretty good considering that he hasn't found a decent band since big time rush .He shook his four doofuses are something else . Lately though , a lot of CD sales were dropping .He had to come up with something quick before Griffen finds out . "Damn." He mumbled and quickly typed you tube .There had to be some sort of talent on there right ? A video of a girl with honey colored hair popped on the lower half of the screen . Gustavo had already watched over 30 videos , he prayed that this one had some sort of talent . He clicked on it . The girl, whoever she was , had such a powerful voice . Her voice was a cross between alto and soprano ,like a hint of Shakira and mixed with the pop /rock sound of the current teeny bopper ,Demi Lovato. His facial expression changed when he was Aaron Kelly , but he had to give the boy credit .The two of them sounded amazing together .
" Maybe a contest would help.." He thought outloud , while a grin played across his face .Gustavo got up and frantically searched for the colorful sticky notes that his assistant Kelly had brought for him yesterday. Once he got them , he wrote down the title and logged on to his account , RocoRocqueRecords. Yeah try saying that 20 times really fast .As soon as he did , he made a huge bulletin post . Gustavo rarely had good ideas , that worked . He also , barely thought most of them through . So as a result he wasn't completely sure that this was going to be successful . He typed up whatever came to his mind and clicked submit .
The next day~
"You might want to check your you tube ."
Marissa half smiled , half smirked . I stared at her with suspension as I clicked and logged on . The butterflies started growing deeper and deeper as I saw my performance that only happened a week ago .The little digital bulletin starting blinking like crazy . I hesitated and clicked . I scanned all the other users but my eyes stopped once they hit RocoRoqueRecords . I guess Marissa's did the same because the two of us were yelling "Oh my god!" A huge smile spread across my face and I clicked it as Marissa started to read it .
"We hear at the record company are turning to you tube in hopes of finding a new fresh face of music .There's so many talented people out there in the world and we would be thrilled to record a demo of one of your original songs and you to be featured on the new single , that big time rush is currently writing as I type .But , there will be auditions . Half of the expenses will be paid , such as the arrival and hotel . Only four will be advancing , the judges will be Logan , Kendall, Carlos and James , plus myself .Big time rush will be attending the auditions and of course the demo recording .I have listed four songs for you to cover do a cover of. Taylor Swift -Cold as you , Nick Jonas -Stay ,Bethany Dillon - Beautiful and jojo-too little too late .Have fun .. don't suck at this please . You'll be notified by a message on April 23rd . "
My Mouth dropped and Marissa smiled .
"What song are you going to sing ?" She said while getting the webcam ready for me . I sat there in the roll Chair for about 15 minutes , because my mind hadn't processed the fact that this was a huge opportunity for me if I was chosen .
"Helllooo Zariah." She waved her hands in my face and I shook my head and grinned .
"Okay here's the deal , I'm going to try out for this but there's no way my parents are going to let me go all the way out to Los Angelos 's for this audition -
Marissa put her hands up , stopping me from continuing any further .Her eyes got that glim in them . That only happened when she had a master scheme coming up . I was scared . She grinned and I waited for her to start .
"So here's what's going to happen , your going to tell your mom that my big brother Spencer invited you up to the cabin for the whole summer .Your mom's not going to have a problem with his because my family and I are already going to be up there by the time you make it to L.A. I'll have Derek , Marissa's dad, cover for us . He wont have a problem with that either because he owes me . You have that audition , meet the james .. Possibly fall in love while your there…"
"Are you serious! There's no way that this plan isn't going to work ."
Marissa's smile darkened . "Ohh believe me it will and you wont have a thing to worry about ."
I rolled my eyes , "Um hello I will, the money for the trip back when I donnt make the cut !"
Marissa sighed and pushed me .
"Oh my gosh , you will make it because you have a sick amazing voice , hello James will be all over that and you'll be famous and we'll go shopping in Paris and I take over the runway ." I laughed sometimes I wonder were her mind is .
I nodded and clapped my hands .
"Okay lets do this ."
After a couple of test runs and arguments over what song to sing because James was going to be watching this and Marissa wanted me to sound hawt . Yes she said hot like that . I sighed as she gave me the thumbs up
"Hey I'm Zariah . Zah- ha- rah .That's how you say it , um anyways I'm just a girl who sets around in my room writing songs , playing piano or guitar .I taught myself how to play piano when I was just 8 , gutiar came later on .I gues I just knew that music was in my blood . My family just doesn't understand that this is what I want to do with my life . Here's a cover of a song ." I smiled at the screen and breathed .
I was so unique Now I feel skin deep I count on the make-up to cover it all Crying myself to sleep cause I cannot keep their attention I thought I could be strong But it's killing me
I grabbed my piano and started playing . I loved the way it sounded when my fingers hit the keys . It was like a lullaby so soothing to me .
Does someone hear my cry? I'm dying for new life I want to be beautiful Make you stand in awe Look inside my heart, and be amazed I want to hear you say Who I am is quite enough Just want to be worthy of love And beautiful
My voice bellowed out as the the lyrics stared speaking to me . I love this song , it was very special to me , it helped me out when I didn't have good self esteem
Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me Fighting to make the mirror happy Trying to find whatever is missing Won't you help me back to glory I want to be beautiful Make you stand in awe Look inside my heart, and be amazed I want to hear you say Who I am is quite enough Just want to be worthy of love And beautiful You make me beautiful You make me stand in awe You step inside my heart, and I am amazed I love to hear You say Who I am is quite enough You make me worthy of love and beautiful
I finished off the song and smiled at Marissa who was wipping what looked like a tear? I looked at her and then stared back at the computer screen .
"Thank you for this , I live for this. Its everything to me . I gave this my all with no regrets. Oh and James -
I looked at Marissa , who's mouth was open . I cant believe I'm saying this right now .
" I'd love to sing with you sometime ."
I clicked end and pressed submit .
Roque Records~
Gustavo had watched 45 videos and counting . He was getting a huge headache from all the no talent . Well there was 5 that he liked a lot but they had no emotion . He grabbed his iphone and dialed Kendall .
"Come over ." Kendall sound ed like he was arguing with james about.. Hair gel? What the hell? "Gustavo .. We cant right now ,James is being overly dramatic about gel ." He could hear James yelling that gel made him look sexy . He rolled his eyes . "look dogs I need your help with this audtion tapes . Come over NOW or you will be scrubbing my feet for the next 5 months ." he hung up the phone and sighed . 30 Minutes later , Kendall was banging on the door . Once he let them through, they all toppled on him . Gustavo 's face grew red . "Get off !"
After 12 minutes on full on yelling matches he got them to watch some of the videos . James stared at one in particular , not because he thought the girl was hot . He hit play and started listening to her voice . Kendall and the others were still debaiting about who's fault it was that landed on Gustavo first . James had started getting a headache .
"Shut up and listen to this girl .She could really make it guys ."
They took the hint and started listening to her. Kendall was in shock of her voice . She was so into her performance that very lyrics she sanged had meaning . He was on the edge of his seat , both because of her voice and because Logan and Carlos were pushing him was into the whole thing from beginning to end , he could relate to her though he didn't know anything about her .Logan started tapping to the sound , he liked the beats and her voice . Carlos was just.. In love with her voice . He had never heard such a strong sound come from anyone . All four band members had to meet this girl they all agreed on it . Even after all the pre audition tapes where watched , Logan couldn't get her voice out of his head.
