Hi Guys!
I know, two chapter in two days! And, if I'm good with my homework then its possible I can do another tonight, but if not, then maybe Tuesday.
Hope you like this one. I had a few 'Rose is bad tempered' remarks so she's got a part in this to try and persuade you other wise. Rose isn't bitchy, just slightly mood swingy. Sorry Rose, I do still love you.
Hope you like this. Guess who Iszy's about it meet?
I was leaning against the bar when the last bars of the song slammed to a stop and Charlie leant his guitar against the speaker. He exchanged a shoulder thump with Alex and together they jumped down from the stage and fought through the crowd towards us. Magnus waved over the swarm of people at him and leant over the bar to order a drink for him and Alex.
I started hyperventilating. They were coming over. I was about to meet Alex Winchester!
Liv saw my distress and spun me round to grab my shoulders and look into my eyes. "Pull yourself together" She said slowly and firmly. "They are going to think you are a complete spaz if you just act like a crazed stalker."
I nodded and tried to slow my breath down. "How close are they?"
She glanced over my head and immediately straightened, wiping the serious look from her face. "Charlie! Good to see you again, that was amazing."
I heard Charlie laugh and Liv dodged me to give him a hug. My shoulders were tense. I turned slowly and found myself face to chest with a wall of black t-shirt.
I gasped and looked up into the face of Alex Winchester. He frowned and stepped back quickly, leaving me with a cold rush of air from the space he had vacated.
Charlie stepped forward and hugged me, "Iszy! You look a bit star struck."
I felt Liv's elbow in my ribs and snapped out of it. "Really? No, I'm fine. That was really good. I love Stella."
He smiled. "Thanks, it was all this guy though." He patted Alex's shoulder and pulled me forward to introduce us.
Don't spaz out, Liv's voice was calm and slightly warning in my head.
I smiled up at Alex, who remained solemn throughout.
Charlie glanced at our stares. "Alex, this is Iszy, Magnus and Nico's cousin. She's the singer of their band. Iszy, Alex, who I'm sure you know a lot about."
I grinned and held out my hand. He raised an eyebrow and slowly looked me up and down before taking it reluctantly and shaking it firmly. "Nice to meet you."
The coldness surprised me slightly, he seemed so much more alive on stage than now, he must be either tense or slightly awkward.
"You too! I was introduced to your music when we met Charlie and I love it! It's so good. You've got everything in there, the music, the deep lyrics, but it's all really fun to listen to as well." I recognised the usual symptoms of babbling and stopped myself before Liv had to elbow me again.
"Thank you." He said stiffly and walked past me to stand next to Charlie, who passed him a beer and went back to chatting with Magnus.
My eyebrows raised. What was his problem? Thank you? Was that it? I had never met any musicians who wouldn't talk about their music with a fan. And I knew the business, I understood it more than many others. He could at least ask about Sixty Second Countdown.
Maybe he's just tense after the performance. The adrenaline did get to people sometimes. I turned and smiled at Liv, who nodded at a drink on the bar for me and we started chatting about the band.
Rose's P.O.V.
Crap, could the bouncer take any longer looking at my ID? I had just heard the cheer from outside that meant I'd missed the band. Traffic in this dammed city was shitty on nights like this. Sooner I could get in the better.
The guy finally nodded at me and handed back my card, letting me push past him into the smoky dark club.
The stage was empty, with tech guys running back and forth to clear off the speakers and instruments. I'd just have to take Liv and Iszy's word for it on whether they were good or not.
Charlie, that was Magnus' friend, I knew that. And Iszy talked my ears off about Alex bloody Winchester that I would know that name anywhere now.
I looked down into the mosh pit which was dispersing now there was no more music. Shame, I was looking forward to seeing them in action.
I brushed my hair out of my eyes to look harder, the strange coloured lights turning it purple instead of its normal red. But the smoke still got in the way, making me look like an idiot as I tried to wave it away. My collection of band bracelets stuck to my skin but provided a good fiddle item for when I was slightly nervous. I twisted one between my fingers and squinted through the crowd, looking for my friends.
I heard my name shouted from the other side of the room, by the bar. Liv was waving wildly over the other's heads and I waved back, braking into a relived grin.
There you are! Liv's voice jumped into my head. Traffic again?
Yeah, this city sucks, were they good?
Really good! You have to meet Charlie, he's really nice. She pointed discreetly towards a curly haired guy with his back to me, talking to Magnus and a giant guy in black. I saw Iszy sending surreptitious glances at his back and realised that this was probably the famous Alex Winchester. Magnus caught my eye and grinned. The sudden stop in conversation made the curly haired guy turn to have a look at whoever Magnus was grinning at.
Oh God.
I could seriously go for that.
He had sandy brown curly hair that kept falling in his eyes, even when he pushing it away to get a better look. He was slightly lanky, but not scrawny. He looked like a musician, if that makes any sense.
His eyebrows were raised and he stared at me, making me feel awkward and self-conscious. I glanced down at my coat and band bracelets. Maybe I should have worn a skirt.
I immediately stopped myself. I hated wearing skirts, I liked my coat and bracelets. And these were my friends, except maybe Curly and Winchester who looked terrifying. What's the worst they could do?
Well, the little self-conscious voice in side my head whispered, do you mean apart from crush your self-esteem and make you throw away your favourite clothes because you now feel uncomfortable in them?
Sighing, I realised I could not go and change, only hope that Liv and Iszy would have my back.
I squared my shoulders and stared walking down the stairs towards the group.
Good?
Please tell me as i need to know and it will slightly boost my self respect, meaning more chapters.
Right, homework, then wattpad check, then chapter, then supper, then Downton Abbey. See you soon.
