We had only played 3 songs so far but I had only made tiny mistakes with my sticks colliding a lot and I missed a couple of entires and one fill. But I think I was doing ok. I think the audience was screaming that loud that they probably didn't even notice. I had found Amber and Ashley in the crowd and Ashley was jumping around and screaming like maniac and Amber was just dancing calmly. I actually made most of my mistakes because I was laughing at them. I kept getting heaps encouraging looks from everyone on stage and surprisingly I was having fun. At least I brought my lucky sticks, couldn't have done it without them! I can't wait to tell my mum!!!
When the concert had finished the boys went running off the stage and I was instructed to stay on the stage and wait for a while. I sat behind my drum kit smiling broadly at Amber who was trying to calm down Ashley. I saw them leaving the stadium and I was told to come off the stage.
'You were awesome!' Joe shouted at me when I got off the stage and pulled me into a hug. Sept he was all sweaty so it was kinda icky.
'The best!' Nick shouted out.
'I told you, you'd do amazing.' Kevin added hugging me after Joe did.
'Come with us.' Joe said and grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him. He lead me to the room I was in before the concert and Kevin and Nick followed us. As I stepped in the door I was attacked with hugs from Amber and Ashley.
'That's defiantly going in the book!' Amber shouted in my ear.
'Argh. I can't see!' I shouted back she had nocked my glasses off onto the floor. I heard a loud crunch and I groaned loudly knowing it was my glasses under someone's foot.
'Oh crap MY BAD!' Ashley shouted out and handed me my glasses. I put them up in front of my eyes and one of the lenses was totally smashed. But the other one was good so I could see ok.
'At least we can now get you better looking glasses.' Amber added and pulled me into the room.
'What's wrong with these ones?' What ever I wear… she never likes any of it. She gave me a look and I pretended to couldn't see through my glasses. If you wanted to know my glasses are square with like a half a centimetre Black rim around them.
'Anyway… You really rocked!' She continued.
'Yeah best drummer ever!' Ashley added jumping around in front of me. 'You three were awesome as well!' She shouted at Joe, Nick and Kevin and hugged them all separately.
'Yeah… I guess they were ok.' Amber said sarcastically. 'Well I mean Zahra was on stage so they had a big competition!' Sill sarcastic.
'Well I get that sometimes.' I replied just as sarcastic. 'You guys are awesome!' I added not being sarcastic.
'We know.' Joe responded and I don't think he was being sarcastic.
'I'm starving. Where's the food.' Amber randomly spat out after a while.
'Every thing in this room is eaidable, Even I'm eaidable, but that is called cannibalism my dear children, as is in fact frowned apon in our society.' I said imitating Johnny Depp from Charlie and The Chocolate factory… Something I do a lot. Imitate movies that is. Amber burst out laughing and Ashley look at me in a way a mother looks at a child when they do something silly.
'Best line EVER!' Amber shouted out between laughing fits.
'No I believe. I've got a jar of dirt, I've got a jar of dirt. And guess what's in side it! Was better.' I replied. Amber nodded and started laughing again.
'Sigh… Johnny Depp… My hero.' She managed to get out.
'Are you too quiet done?' Ashley shouted out in a motherly way. I swear that little girl is more of a mother than my mother is. We both nodded innocently at her as she unfolded her arms. Ashley then looked over at Nick, Joe and Kevin who were trying with all their might not to laugh. I couldn't not laugh I burst out again and I was slapped hard on my arm by Ashley but I couldn't stop. After I was hit everyone else burst out laughing. After about 5 minutes of solid laughing and Ashley shouting we finally stopped and all fell onto the couch.
'Now THAT was funny.' Amber announce. Everyone just laughed in response, well except Ashley.
'We got to go now. We'll come back.' Joe said as he and his brothers got up and walked out of the room.
'Did you notice my mistakes?' I asked once we stoped laughing.
'One… but only coz of the look on our face.' Amber answered.
'Ok. Must remember to keep a neutral face.'
'As if YOU could do that. I'm sorry, your glasses they just look so funny.' Ashley said and burst out laughing again.
'Well your buying me new ones. Is it still funny.' I replied keeping a straight face. Ashley stopped laughing and looked worried and I couldn't hold it back any more I burst out again.
'Best night of your life?' Amber questioned.
'Best night of my life.' I agreed.
'Me too!' Ashley shouted.
'Yep I'm gonna have to say, Me three.' Amber added.
We spent the next hour sitting on that large couch reciting our favourite movie lines and laughing hysterically. Can I stay wid you?… What?… Can I stay wid you, Please?… Of Course… Really?… NO… Come on you got to let me stay, you don't know what it's like to be consider a freak, well maybe you do but that's why we got to stick together, come on you got t let me stay please?!… alright alright one night only… this is gonna be great we'll stay up all night swapping mainly stories and in the morning, I'm making waffles, where do I sleep… out side!… well I guess that's cool since you don't know me and I don't know so outside best, here I go. Was one of them, me doing Donkey's voice and Amber doing Shrek's voice… yes we know Shrek off my heart and don't pretend you don't cause I know you do! We were in the middle of a fantastic four Johnny imitation when the same man that pops up every where came into the room.
'Good your still here.' He said and walked over in front of us.
'Sure am.' Me and Amber said in unison.
'How would you like a permanent position?'
'Do you mean on this couch. Coz that could be cool, it is pretty comfy.' I replied.
'No, not the cou… as the bands drummer.' He said as if it were obvious.
'What band?' I questioned.
'The beetles.' He replied and I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
'Isn't that Ringo's job?'
'Zahra, jut shut up and listen.' Ashley shouted at me.
'The Jonas Brothers. You did great tonight and we would like to stay the bands drummer.' He continued.
'Are you serious. I mean just like that?' I questioned. I noticed that Ashley's jaw was hanging open.
'Yeah, there is a tour coming up in a week. We'd like you to join the back up band on that tour.' He smiled.
'Travel around with those golden oldies?' I asked sarcastically. 'And when I say golden oldies I mean golden young rocking 30 year olds.' I quickly added.
'Yeah they are twice you age… Wait… you could go on the brothers bus!'
'Brothers?' Now I had no idea where he was going with this.
'Kevin, Joe And Nick.' he said sounding a little annoyed. Hang on is this happening, did I just get asked to go on a tour? No that can't be right. I'm just an Australian teen drummer who filled in for them once, they wouldn't want me to do that all the time. This is a dream, I gonna wake up… Now!… Now!
'Zahra!' I heard Amber shouted and she pulled me out of my thoughts. I half expected to open my eyes and be laying in my bed looking up at her while she shook me awake. But I was in the same room with the same people and the same question. I must have been taking too long to answer.
'She'd love to go! But she will have to ask her mum.' Amber answered for me. This snapped me back into full focus.
'Good it's settled, can I have your number so I can call your mum?' The man said. Amber quickly wrote my telephone number on the piece of paper he handed her. 'And get new glasses before we go.' He quickly added before walking out of the room.
'OMG, your going on tour with the Jonas Brothers!' Amber screamed at the top of her lungs.
'Did I even get a choice in this?' I question trying to sound mad.
'Nope. You're so lucky. Ashley was right bout you being the luckiest person on the planet! Can we switch lives?'
'PLEASE?' I pleaded. Amber shook her head and Ashley was still stunned I think. I shook her shoulders slightly and she snapped out of it.
'You know what I said before about being my best friend?' She started to say. 'I take it back! I hate you now!' She shouted trying to sound mad but she had a huge grin on her face.
'I'm not going.' I responded.
'Pigs bum you not going!' Amber shouted at me. 'Your mum is going to say yes and in one week your going to be getting on a bus with the Jonas Brothers and Travelling all over the country side.'
'Am not!' I shouted back. 'What if I don't want to. Damn mum for buying my drum sticks for my 7th birthday!'
'Don't act as if your not excited. We both know you are!'
'We just heard! That's so Awesome! You're the best drummer ever! Although now your stuck on a bus with us for 3 months.' Joe shouted as he came bounding into the room. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly as Kevin and Nick joined in on the hug.
'But… I… and he… and then… you… and… WHAT?!' I stuttered.
