Authors Notes: Hey XD Chapter 9 XD Please review, I would love to know what everyone thinks XD I own nothing and no one, apart from the following: Johnny, Liam, Cayden and Jasper. Please review XD
I don't think I know any songs in the 60's/70's so I'm going to use songs I know now – some maybe old, some not –, and we can pretend XD Though it's songs mainly Remus does.
Chapter 9
Remus
Johnny, Liam, Cayden and I were already set up when people walked in. We were at the side of the stage, where no one could se us. There were seven reserved tables. One for each of our families; one for the guys' girlfriends; one for our friends; and one for James, Lily and Sirius. I saw all of them take their seats. And I saw Jasper. I cringed a little. Last time I saw him, was last year. Oh, bloody hell. Worse thing was, he was going to be worse because he knew about Sirius, and Sirius was here tonight. Great. The owner of the local hall said 'hi', and introduced the band. He mentioned how we hadn't performed in three years. As soon as he was done, the four of us made our way onto the stage. Johnny was on drums, Liam on bass and electric guitar – he switched –, Cayden on piano/keyboard, and me on acoustic/electric guitar and vocals. I stepped up to the mic.
"Uh...hi. So, as you were told, we haven't performed together in three years. This is the first time I've performed since then. So, please be nice to us. We mainly do covers of songs. For those who don't know what that means, it means we take a song and change it a little to make it our own...kind of. Anyway, so first of all we're gunna start with Another One Bites the Dust, written by Queen. Our amazing drummer Johnny shall be the vocals for this. " I said.
We started playing. It was so easy just to perform with these guys. Everyone just watched as. Smiling. I had missed this.
After Another One Bites the Dust, Johnny sang Killer Queen...again by Queen. Then we went to Liam. He sang Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers and It's Not Unusal by Tom Jones. An old classic, with a bit of a modern twist by us. Thirs, we went to Cayden. Cayden always sang the Beatles. He sang Here Comes the Sun and I Saw Her Standing There. We put our own little twist on all of the songs, to make them our own. They sounded pretty good. And then it was my turn.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our led vocalist and guitar player, Remus Lupin! He shall be taking the main mic now!" Johnny shouted.
I laughed a little and everyone just cheered. Especially James, Lily and Sirius. I sang a range of songs. Many by The Click 5 – like Flipside, Catch Your Wave, When I'm Gone, I Quit I Quit I Quit –, and Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. That's only a few of them. I missed just singing and playing guitar. And it looked like I'd be pushed to doing it a whole lot more.
When I finished the last song, the cheer for us was amazing. I forgot how much of a rush it was.
"Thank you, and goodnight!" the guys and I shouted into the microphones.
We walked off the stage. I put my guitars back in the cases, and so did Liam. The hall emptied out slowly...which annoyed me. I just wanted to get out there. See my friends, see my family, see the girls...see Sirius.
