"You're the rock god baby brother!"
Liam shook me, almost violently. I just don't know. Do I throw away my life for a brief moment of fame? Or, do I continue my studies?
He's giving me that look again. He looks desperate, almost manic. It's a little unnerving. I stuff my hands into my pockets. Time to decide.
"Alright, we'll do it."
Liam's face lights up.
"On one condition, if things get too crazy, we walk away," my gaze caught his. I've heard about the dangers of being a rock star and there's no taking any chances.
"Oh you won't be sorry baby brother! I'll take good care of you," he puts his arm around me, a goofy grin flits across his face.
I look him square in the eye and say, "Promise me? If things get too crazy, we walk away."
I put my hand out. He looks at it, with a vacant expression on his face. Again, I put out my hand. Finally, he takes it, with a firm grasp.
"Yeah, alright. We walk away."
I smile, that's my big brother. With a quick slap on the back, I run back to my dorm to get packed. Good-bye schooling, hello fame and fortune!
You All Everybody!Maybe I was too pessimistic when I first heard of Liam's crazy scheme. Now, life is great. Drive Shaft is about to break out and my song, "You All Everybody," it's at the top of the charts! Liam's been acting funny lately. I'm a little worried about him. But it's probably nothing but pre-show nerves. We got a big gig tonight in Manchester. I can almost hear the girls screaming my name, what a rush! Basically every other night, I wake up to find some smoking hot chick in my bed. This beats college any day!
It's my song.
I can't believe him! Liam stole my song tonight. "You All Everybody is my song, I wrote it and I sing lead vocals! Liam sings back up. What the 'ell was he thinking!
The night had started out fine, the crowd was screaming and carrying on, then we, Drive Shaft emerged on the stage. Liam and Sinjin strumming madly on their guitars; Patrick beating the crap out of his drums, and me, oozing out my soul through my bass. "Merge" was the perfect opening number. Then we went through a number of songs from our first album and then our second. The crème de la crème was saved for last. I was pumped, adrenaline was flowing in my veins; I took my place at the mike, and was about to play the first few chords of the song when suddenly…Liam!
