Chapter 10

"Things have changed for me and that's okay. I feel the same. I'm on way."-That Green Gentlemen (Things Have Changed), Panic! At The Disco.

Hayley's P.O.V.

"What?" I asked, after Alex stood up.

"Emerald Moon wants to sign us," he said in the most calm voice.

"Emerald Moon Records wants to sign us!" he yelled.

"Holy shit!" Jack yelled.

"Exactly," Alex said.

"So, then what was the phone call for?" Kori asked.

"We have to have a meeting with them and if things go well and we agree to everything, then we get signed," he explained.

"And when do we meet them?" Rian asked.

"When our parents agree on a time," Alex said. Rian nodded.

"Okay, so then what the fuck are you waiting for?" I asked. "Go talk to your parents!"

Jack left first, dragging Kori with him. We followed him upstairs and a few minutes later Rian and Zack left. Alex was last to leave.

Abby was in the kitchen sitting on a bar stool eating cereal. I walked in a took a bite of it when she wasn't looking.

"Cocoa puffs?" I asked. She nodded.

"You look extra happy. What's up?" she said.

"All Time Low might get signed to Emerald Moon," I said with a huge smile on my face. Her eyes grew wide.

"Really? Wait, is that why Alex and Jack screamed 'holy shit'?" she said.

"Yeah. They have to have a meeting with the record company so they left to ask their parents when they can go have that meeting. I guess if everything goes well then they get signed and go on tour and stuff," my Mom walked in as I finished.

"Hayley, Abby, I have to go on a business trip to Seattle, Washington. Do you think you'll be okay by yourselves for a week or so?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't we be?" I asked. She shrugged.

"Because Hayley, you're a junior and Abby is an eighth grader." she chuckled.

"We can handle it Mom," said Abby. I nodded in agreement.

"Good. If you need anything go to Mrs. Barakat," she said.

"When do you leave?" I said.

"Tomorrow morning at 9:30."

"Oh. Okay. Hey, Mom. All Time Low might get signed," Abby said.

"Really?" she asked. We nodded. "Wow, well if they do while I'm away tell me," and with that she walked upstairs.

. . .

"Hey, Mrs. Barakat," I said.

"Hello Hayley," she let me inside their house. "Jack's in his room. You can go on up." I nodded and quickly walked up the stairs.

I stepped into Jack's room, where he was looking at his clothes hanging in his closest. Here's how his room was set up: if you were facing the window, the closet was on the right side, the dresser directly next to the window on the right side with a stereo on top that was playing "For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic" by Paramore, the desk on the left side of the window with his guitar, and his bed was in the middle with the door to the left. And there was little things scattered in between everything.

I jumped on his bed, landing on my back with my head facing the closet. He spun around.

"How's it going, Barakitten?" I asked.

"Uh, good. How long have you been in here?" he replied.

"Like, 30 seconds," I giggled.

"Oh," he turned back to his closet.

"Need some help?" I asked. He nodded. I squinted, looking at all of his clothes.

"Blue plaid button up," I pointed to the shirt, "and black skinny jeans," I pointed to them, then looked at his shoes on the floor of his closet, "and black converse." I pointed to the shoes.

He grabbed all of things I listed and started changing.

"Whoa, dude. Let me close my eyes first, gosh!" I said. He chuckled.

"Sorry. Close your eyes, Hayley." he said and I did so. Five minutes later he said, "All done. Are you wearing that?"

I looked at my red shorts and my white tank top and shook my head. "I need to help you make a good impression for Emerald Moon if I'm coming with you."

"Yeah, by the way, how the hell are you wearing that in the middle of November?"

I shrugged. "I was just coming next door so I didn't grab a jacket."

"Whatever, come on let's go to your house for your clothes," he said and grabbed my wrist. He pulled me down the stairs and next door.

"Hey Hayley is Abby coming with us?" he asked.

I shrugged. "If you want her to." he nodded enthusiastically. "Help me pick out clothes first."

He walked over to my closet and pulled out about 5 shirts. "Pick one," he said.

My choices were a purple shirt with white stripes, a green v-neck that required an undershirt, a black shirt that required an undershirt, a red t-shirt with ties down the sides, and an orange t-shirt.

"I'm surprised you didn't pick anything slutty," I said as I picked up the red one and grabbed a black tank top to put under it.

"You don't have anything slutty," he said.

"True. Now pick out pants and shoes."

"Someone's demanding."

"Yup," I popped my lips on the "p". He handed me a pair of white skinny jeans and sky blue converse.

"Leave," I said, pointing to the door.

"Aww," he whined. I chuckled.

"Just go."

"You're no fun," he said as he walked out. I quickly changed and walked over to Abby's room.

"Abby?" I said. She opened the door.

"Want to come to with us?" asked Jack. She smiled and nodded. I walked over to her closet along with Jack. He had pulled out a short sleeve white button up and a dark blue long sleeve shirt and a pair of green skinny jeans.

"Put these on. Wear those black hi-tops," he said pulling me out of the room.

"How come you can dress other people but not you?" I inquired. He shrugged.

"I have no idea. Kori's riding with Zack and Alex and Rian are riding together."

"And we're going together?" he nodded. Abby opened the door.

"Ready?" I asked. She nodded.

"Lez go." she said. We walked to Jack's house to get his Mom. Then we got in the car and drove to the record company, getting there in about 45 minutes.

When we walked inside, everyone was already seated at a round table so we joined them. Two minutes later a guy in a suit and what I think was his assistant came into the room.

"You're All Time Low?" he asked.

"Yes we are." said Alex.

After everyone introduced themselves there was tons of discussion. In the end, they ended up getting an extended play and a full-length CD. They would have to meet up again in a week to record the EP, so that gave them time to decide what songs to put on it.

"Hell yes!" Alex yelled once we got outside.

"Language," Alex's dad said. He frowned.

"So you guys are going back to Hayley's?" his mom asked. I nodded.

"No parties," Jack's mom said.

"There won't be one." Yet. I added in my mind.

They drove us back to my house, where we started to talk about their songs.

"Put 'Memories That Fade Like Photographs' on your EP," I said.

"I like that idea," said Rian.

"Did you think of a name for the song you wrote about Daniel?" Zack asked. Alex shook his head.

"What about 'Lullabies'?" Abby asked.

"Lullabies?" Alex said.

"The chorus says 'sing me to sleep'. What do you sing someone when you sing them to sleep?" she replied.

"Wow," I said. She nodded.

"I like it," said Jack. Rian nodded.

"Me too," said Zack. Alex thought for a moment.

"I'll call it that," Alex said with a smile. They finished choosing the songs. Rian, Zack, and Jack fell asleep in my living room taking up the couch and recliners. Alex was about to curl up on the floor when I said, "You can take my bed. Me and Kori will just take my Mom's."

"You sure?" he said. I nodded and walked up stairs, with Kori, Alex, and Abby in tow.

"Night Abby," I said before she walked into her room.

"Night," she replied.

Kori walked into my room to change leaving me and Alex in the hallway.

"So it's a reality now," I said.

"Yeah. I'm still waiting for it to sink in," he said.

"I still say you're going to get big."

"I'm gonna hold you to that." I chuckled.

"Then do so," I said.

He gave me a quick kiss. "Thank you for being there for me," he said.

"It was completely worth it," I replied.

"Your turn," Kori said walking out of my room and into my Mom's. Alex walked in after he said goodnight because I was already changed. I laid down on the bed.

"So what do you think about all of this, Kori?" I asked.

"Uh, it's amazing!" she said with a laugh.

"I agree. Night Kori," I said.

"Night Hayley."

I laid in bed for about an hour before I actually fell asleep. I'm happy I moved away. I'm happy everything that happened, actually happened, otherwise I wouldn't know All Time Low or Kori and I wouldn't be dating Alex. Things were finally starting to go my way and I couldn't get used to it. But I guess some things are best kept that way so they never get too boring. Hope arises in possibility, but that doesn't mean possibility is out of reach. If there is one thing I learned moving here, it's that sometimes the things you hope for are actually possible, so those things actually happen.

Author's Note: This is the longest chapter I have written : ) I'm proud of myself lol.
