Love Institution Chapter 30: Band Practice and Getting a deal, a four brothers fanfic

"Band Practice and getting a Deal"

Jack held the guitar and in front of the mic.

"Okay guys,remember the routine remember Kelis hit that note high.Okay?"

"Gotcha!" Kelis smiled at Jack.He held his guitar,ready to rock out.

"Okay,one,two,one,two,three go!" They began playing the song.

"Mountain"

All these dreams and all these plans
I built them all with these two hands
Everything I've relized my dreams

The city lights shine down and they blind me sometimes
But through it all I was lost but I found my way

So tell me what you want 'cause I will give you anything
Tell me what you need and I'll go get it
I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now
I'd give up everything and I'd forget it

I wasn't on the moutain
When it came to me
All my life's been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams

So here we are
Let me lift you up and show you this world over me
And all these things that I've gained and what I've seen
It can't compare to the love that you could give to me

So tell me what you want 'cause I would give it to you anything
Tell me what you need and I'll go get it
I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now
I'd give up everything and I'd forget it

I wasn't on a moutain
When it came to me
All my life's been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams

Years go by
And nothing's slowing down the time
Years go by
And then they're wasted
All this time
I thought that I gained everything
If your not mine
I'm so empty

I wasn't on a moutain
When it came to me,when it came to me
All my life's been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams!

So please come back to me,I'm right here waiting
So please come back to me now...

Jack smiled back at the rest of his band members.

"Guys you were awesome!" Jack put up the rock sign.

"No you were awesome Jack!Tonight's the night I could feel it" Raphael said as he got off the seat.Jack smirked and took his guitar off of him.He walked over to his bag and pulled out a book with songs and a disc while everyone took a breather.

"Hey guys,remember the songs I had that I told ya'll about?" Jack held the book in his hands and the disc.

"Yeah" They all said in unison.

"I decided we could use another song for tonight.You see I mixed something on this disc and I thought you guys should listen to it" Jack walked over to the stereo and placed the cd in.Everyone sat down on the couch.

"Listen and tell me what you think" Jack pressed the red button and everyone began listening to the hard rock Jack had on it.How did Jack put it together?Well,since he knows how to play giutar,bass,and drums he simply did it all in different takes and he mixed it all together.Jack's not as stupid as his brothers make him seem.Everyone was bopping their heads to the music,they loved it.When the song went off,Kelis,Raphael,Jimmy C,and Randy all clapped for Jack.

"I loved it!" Kelis smiled at Jack.

"Wonderful!" Jimmy C said in a state of shock.

"I have no words to explain how good that was Jack" Raphael shook his head and smiled at Jack.

"I thought it was astonishing!Awesome Jackie!" Randy patted Jack on his back.

"Thanks guys.I didn't exspect you guys to really like it" Jack seemed surprised.

"Well Jack,you are the band's leader and a damn good one at that!You make the right decisions Jackie,you totally rock" Kelis smiled at Jack and Jack's cheeks began getting red.

"Oh stop,please!Your making me blush" Jack smiled,"Okay guys,I remember the lyrics to it and we should try it out" Jack got up and went over to the mic,"Did you guys remember the beat I had in the song because if you don't we could always listen-" Kelis interupted Jack.Randy went over to the turntables.

"Jack,come on man!Your talking to us!We're professionals at this.Let's do this" Kelis put up the rock sign.

"Let's do it then" Jack threw up his rock sign,too.

"Jack,I'm gonna do the turntables part,okay?"

"Yeah we could do that" Jack held the guitar and cleared his throat.

"Ready when your ready boss" Jimmy C said as he held his bass.

"One,two,one,two,three" And they began rocking on!

"Don't Stay"

Sometimes I, need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I, need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I need you to go

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay

Sometimes I, feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I, just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I need to be alone

I don't need you anymore, I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day of you wasting me away
I don't need you anymore, I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day of you wasting me away
With no apologies

Kelis,Raphael,Randy,and Jimmy C were all shocked at Jack.Normally,Jack doesn't roar like that,he sings like a punk rocker that he is.They couldn't believe how much Jack changed.First it's his haircolor,then his body figure (very attractive!)then his eyes,and now his singing?What's going on with Jack?He's completely change and he really didn't notice.

"That...was awesome" Kelis breathed heavily.

"Really,you liked it?" Jack asked innocently.

"Dude,you were just roaring.Do you know what league your in?" asked Raphael sitting at the drums.

"Yeah,I'm in rock n'roll.Why?"

"Jack,that wasn't rock n' roll.That was metal what you were just doing.Jack are you okay?" asked Jimmy C.

"Yeah I'm okay" Jack said in a confused way.

"Apparently,your not.Jack you'd know the difference from rock and metal.It looks to me like you were just doing Numetal" Randy crossed his arms.

"So what?"

"So what?!Jack,we have a reputation of being a really good punk band.We can't screw that up by adding roaring in on,just sing like the regular Jackie we knew before" Jack frowned.

"Listen guys,in order for us to succeed we have to try new things.Now,this might not be the best thing,so to say,but that doens't mean we can't bring something new to the audience.I'm sick and tired of these punk bands and I'm tired of these kids following those stupid-ass punk bands.It's become a fucking fad!We gotta change it.My father always told me,"When it seems like the entire world is going to hell, when your in the deep shit of bulls,you still can get out by washing yourself".Let's wash ourselves.We gotta make a change in our approach at this music.Let's hit this hard!Let's not settle for less.We gotta hit the shit and be done with it" Jack sounded like a football coach,"Let's not settle for a trend...we're a band,a really good band!" Raphael,Jimmy C,and Randy all smiled at Jack.So did Kelis.

"...Well I guess we could do somethin' here with this music" Raphael grinned.

"Yeah,maybe we could try something new" Jimmy C looked worried.

"I guess it's a okay" Randy smiled.

"So what do ya say?" Jack asked.

"Yeah..." Rapahel had his looked down but he was smiling.

"I say yeah" Randy smiled.

"Let's do it!" Jimmy C shook his head up and down.

"You don't even have to ask me.I was all for it from the beginning!" They all began laughing.

"Thanks guys,your really gonna come through for me"

"You better not screw this up for us Jack!" Raphael yelled.

"Alright!I won't,I promise" Jack smiled at them.

They all had a group hug and the rest of their time they laughed and joked around.

Herbin 8:00 PM

Many people came into the lounge/bar just to see Jack and his band,"Die Sherly".Kacela,Charlie,Bobby,Angel,and Sofi came along.As usual,Jerry couldn't come because he had the children to take care of.They all stood in the front to get a clear view of Jack.Backstage,Jack was a little nervous.The way for him to get his nrevousness out,he eats two Hershey bars.

"Here Jack,you dropped your eyeliner" Randy picked up the eyeliner and placed it on the table,"Jack you gonna put your eyeliner on?"

"Uh?!Oh yeah I gotta put the eyeliner on.Thanks for reminding me" Jack placed his Hersheys on the table and picked up the eyeliner and applied some under his eyes.

"So Jack,why did you choose the color black to be your hair color?"

"I just wanted to see how I look with black hair.Plus,I love the color" Jack focused on how much eyeliner he puts on.

"Ready for tonight?"

"Yeah,lemme finish the last of my Hersheys and I'm good" Jack thought it was enough eyeliner and closed it up.He sat back down and gobbled down the last of the Hershey bar,"Okay,I'm ready" Jack said as he chewed on the chocolatey chocolate.He got up and walked out the room with Randy,Jimmy C,and Raphael.Kelis was waiting behind the stage.

"Hey guys,there's a lot of people here" Jack saw Kacela.

"Good,she came"

"What you thought she wouldn't come?" Kelis asked curiously.

"No,I'm just happy she didn't stay too long at the hospital" Kelis took her guitar,Raphael took his drum sticks,Jimmy C took his bass,and Randy headed up to the turntables,and Jack took his guitar.The lights shut off and the audience was all excited to see the band.All the groupies and crazed fans were screaming.Although all the chaos and noise was going on,the agent was standing in the back watching how good they could give a show.Kacela knew the agent was at the back but she wanted to see Jack up,close,and personal.The lights flashed and fog was all over the place.Everyone began screaming when the band came out,especially because if Jack.All the girls began screaming because of how good-looking Jack was.He hoped Kacela wouldn't get angry because of all the wierd boards they made for him and all the crazy teenyboppers that were there.Kacela kept her cool and stood there smiling at Jack.They began the show slowly.

"What's up guys!You all came for us and you know we're gonna give you a great fuckin' show tonight!Yeah!" everyone began screaming at the top of their lungs,"Okay,hit it!" they began the song and everyone was jumping,including Kacela,Bobby,Angel,and Sofi.

Sometimes I, need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I, need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I need you to go

Sometimes I, feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I, just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I need to be alone

After the song,everyone screamed and Jack smiled at the crowd.He was sweating a little but he was still up for giving the people the show of their lives.

"Ready for another one?"

"YEAH!!!!!!!" the crowd screamed.

"What?!"

"YEAH!!!!!!"

"Okay,this song is dedicated someone very special in my life right now.She's the best person ever and I love her to death.Greatest person you could ever meet in your life.Okay babe,this one's for you!Hit it!" The song began and Jack began playing,Kacela smiled at Jack while he sung.
