One of my quickest updates I think... kind of a filler but still important. Alright enjoy!
Chapter 3
Stella POV
I'm sitting down in the dressing room reading the text over and over in my head. I hear a knock and quickly snap my phone shut before someone comes in. I wipe my eyes quickly and see Charlie come in. I'm so glad it's not Mo or Olivia I'm not ready to tell them what just happened.
"Hey, come on we're heading to Sony studios to do our test recording session." I fake a smile and get up, "yeah, let's go."
I walk down the hall in silence as thoughts fill my head. First of all I can't believe he had the nerve to… I can't even think about it. Charlie is humming to himself a happy song that I can't configure. Once we reach the van he slides into the seat beside Mo and gives her a hug.
I look away and take my ipod out. Staring at the window I see the sunny L.A view as Greenday's Wake Me Up When Semptember Ends pours through my earphones. I feel like crying right in the van but I tell myself I at least have to find a bathroom first.
Shortly after we arrive at the studio and I quickly get out of the van. I might've trampled Olivia a bit as she says OW but I need to be alone. Ms. Reznik is already out of the car and one of the people working at the company tells us to follow her. "I really need to go to the bathroom, where is it?"
The lady named Jenny says down the hall to the left. I quickly rush by and slam the stall door behind me just as I start crying. My make-up from the show starts running down but I don't care. I then start to sob quietly, I may be extremely depressed but I won't let anyone hear me. I go on for at least three more minutes before I hear the bathroom door open.
I bite my lip shutting my sobs up and I quickly grab some tissues out of my pocket. I wipe my face and wait for the person to leave. Opening the stall door slowly I check for anyone. All clear, I quickly check my reflection and see my face is like a retarded princess. I quickly wipe everything away with water and use concealer for my eyes. Yes I have make-up but only concealer.
I walk out just as Olivia is about to enter, "hey, I was about to check on you." I smiled at her, "sorry it's that time of month again and I was a bit hormonal. OH AND I'M SORRY FOR TRAMPLING YOU EARLIER!"
She chuckles, "don't even worry about it, now let's go record!" She was excited which made me slightly excited. We piled onto the elevator and Jenny pressed the 7th floor button. We got off and were soon escorted to one of the studios at the end of the hallway.
We entered the studio and my mouth dropped for the second time today. In the studio recording a new song was the people I thought I would never get to meet in my life.
They took off their headphones and waved at us. Beside me I could see Mo and Olivia waving frantically. I was just standing still as I thought this was a prank.
The producers and song writers introduced themselves and then the guys in the booth came out. I wanted to go down on my knees and say they were my idols because I loved their music. "You're 5 seconds of summer!"
Mo said and the guys in our band were really confused for a second. They smiled and my heart literally melted at that moment.
Ashton giggled and said, "that's right, and you guys are… Lemonade Mouth right? One Direction told us you guys were going to be doing a testing recording session." Just then the door opened and the One Direction guys piled in.
I was going to have a fangirl heart attack, if that was a thing. Mo and Olivia held onto each other as they were going to fall over. Even though this was our second time meeting them I was still in disbelief that they were in our presence.
"Alright, now hurry up and get out. Lemonade Mouth has to record!" Harry said in a semi serious tone. He made a shooing motion with his hands and was smiling at the guys of 5sos. They slowly piled out groaning things like 'you're so bossy Harry' or 'yeesh mr. sassy'
They got out and I was literally staring at them. Suddenly Charlie said, "oh you guys are the Australian band, Luke, Calum, Ashton and Michael right?" I felt so embarrassed that he said that but before Ashton left he said, "yeah! Here think fast" he threw his drumsticks at Charlie and Charlie caught em.
Charlie said, "don't you need these?" and Ashton replied with, "nah you can keep em dude." They walked away and my jaw dropped. They were seriously attractive, is someone trying to prank us? Is it Ellen part 2?
My attention snapped back as Louis said, "so as you guys know we helped 5 seconds of summer by letting them open for us and they were soon signed by the same recording company."
Scott interrupted by saying, "so you guys want to help us out by letting us try to get a record deal with your company I'm guessing." I wanted to shut Scott up for interrupting the wonderful One Direction but since I couldn't I sent him a glare.
"Actually, after we saw your concert during the summer we got very busy. It wasn't until the 5sos guys showed us one of your songs on Youtube did we remember how great you guys were. After that they said they wanted to sign a band on their conjoined record label Hey or Hi records and it was you guys" Niall said.
Oh my gosh I was about to scream with giddiness but they stopped me by saying, "but they are conjoined so they have to get approved by the big guys which is Sony. These guys sitting right here are the best producers we've ever worked with" Liam gestured to the people sitting on the chairs.
I finally thought I caught on until Harry surprised me with his explanation, "since we kind of founded 5sos Sony wanted us to see if you guys are worthy if being signed. Of course 5sos has to like you too but they already liked pretty much all of your Youtube videos so you don't need to worry."
"HEY! WE'RE TOUGH CRITICS TOO!" I heard Calum yell from the outside too. He gave a cheeky grin and thumbs up before Liam said, "yes you are, now stop interrupting us" him away. They all pouted at the window and the guys rolled their eyes before they left.
One of the producers sitting near to us said, "alright, let's get this started." I nervously laughed, sure no big pressure there right? Just performing in front of One Direction and the best producers of Sony right?
Slight Time Skip
Once we were settled in with earphones on and we had instruments in our hands we were ready to go. The producer who spoke to us earlier whose name is John said, "alright, ready to go?"
I nodded and took a deep breathe. I stood next to Scott with him on my left and Mo on my right. Wen was on piano and Charlie was on drums behind us. In front of all us was Olivia who was obviously very nervous. She hadn't said a word since we came into the studio. We saw One Direction through the glass and they all seemed to give us encouraging smiles.
It was nice because we barely knew them, it just shows that they are still really nice people. Even though we just found about recording today we felt like this depended on whether we could go on to the next level of our music careers. It's because IT DID and I knew as one of the leaders of the band I had to calm us down without showing my nerves.
"Give us one second John" I yelled and he nodded. I motioned for everyone to get in a huddle and they did, "alright, we all know that this could be a big break through for us even though we're doing well right now. This could take us to a new level but we need to perform genuinely like it's just us cause that's what our fans like about us. If they don't like it then they don't like Lemonade Mouth. Alright?" They nodded and I smiled, we put our hands in the middle and we said, "Lemonade Mouth!"
They all looked slightly less nervous as Wen started his intro for Determinate. By the time we heard Olivia sing her first lines we were all focused and ready to play like professionals.
