Y/N'S POV
Mom and Ginny left to go set up for casino night and I went over to the O'connor's house to practice a little before the battle of the bands. They forced me into singing lead for tonight, Ares took over my spot as guitar for the night. We're doing Complicated by Avril Lavigne. Hopefully I sound as good as Avril herself.
"Hey, God. I know I usually don't do this, but please, please help me not fuck up tonight." I whispered to myself.
"N/N, don't worry you'll do great tonight. You sound amazing. You're gonna' be a badass on that stage." Jackson encouraged.
"Thanks, J." I smiled.
Artemis and I went to her room to fix ourselves up a little bit more, even though we're both fucking goddesses.
"Y/N, you seem so stressed, release some of the tension. You're gonna' do great!" She says whilst smoking out her eyeliner a bit at the bottom.
"That's not what I'm stressed about, but I'm not talking about it tonight."
"Good, release all stress from your system."
I sighed and continued getting ready.

We walked into where the battle of the bands was being held and I saw my sister being serenaded by Hunter and everyone fawning over that shit.
He can't even sing.
"Y/N!" Marcus yelled to catch my attention as he walked over to me, he looked a bit off, maybe it's from the horrible singing.
"This is a shit-show." Letty whispered to me before she walked off to find 'Lene.
"Marcus, please tell me you hear what I hear." I cringed.
"Yeah, my ears are bleeding."
"I swear if he wins just because he dedicated this shit to my unfaithful sister, I will flip my shit. Nobody's gonna be safe."
"By the way you look hot." He whispered in my ear changing the subject.
"Oh really? Will you be my personal groupie tonight? Will you throw your boxers on the stage for me?" I teased.
"Maybe." He kisses my forehead.
"You missed. I think you meant to go for my lips."
He hummed then gave me a kiss on my lips.
"Y/N, we're on in like two minutes!"
"Good luck."
"I need it."
We walked on stage and started getting ready.
These next four minutes and five seconds better be the luckiest ones in my life.
We started the song and I was doing pretty good. I got comfortable enough to take the mic off the stand and walk around the stage a bit, the space that was there for me to walk on.
"Somebody else, 'round everyone else, you're watching your back, like you can't relax, you try to be cool, you look like a fool to me, tell me"
I looked at Ginny and sort of singled her out because her friends were pointing at me then back at her.
"Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated" I sang while still looking in her direction then I started walking the other way, so more people wouldn't notice.
"And you take what you get, and you turn it into, honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you faking, no, no, no" I finished the song, the crowd went kind of crazy, and we all left the stage.
Once I was off the stage Marcus was standing there waiting for me.
"You didn't throw your boxers at me, so I'm a bit upset." I fake pouted.
"Next time I will." He said while pulling me in for a kiss.
"Ew, get a room." Artemis gagged.
"We'll just go to mine later." I teased.
"We sure will." Marcus mumbled and I smirked.

I was pissed. Hunter sounded like shit and still won.
"Bro, that shit was rigged!" I complained whilst walking into the house with Marcus behind me.
"Dear, what's wrong?" Mom asked while coming out the living room.
"We lost. Ginny's boyfriend won with his non-singin' ass."
"Well, um, I don't think you wanna say that right now."
"Why?" I ask and she points to the living room, signaling that Hunter was here with Ginny.
"Hey, Hunter! It was a romantic gesture but, you can't sing, buddy!" I yelled, being super immature, but I said nobody was gonna be safe if his non-singing ass won.
Marcus busted out in laughter and Mom tried to contain hers.
"Seriously, Y/N?" Ginny groaned from the living room.
"I'm just keeping my word, dearie!" I shout while dragging Marcus into the kitchen with me.
"Oouu, cheesecake." I say while getting a fork and going to sit next to Austin and Marcus sat next to me.
I dug my fork into the cheesecake, pulled it out, and opened my mouth to eat it, but Marcus snatched my fork and ate it.
"You asshole." I grumbled.
"Here." He held the fork to my mouth, which had more cheesecake on it, and I ate it.
"This is good, right Austin?"
Austin nods whilst going in for more.
"I've gotta go, my mom wants me back home. See ya' tomorrow!" Marcus says whilst getting up and rushing out the door, not even giving me a chance to say goodbye.
"Bye." I mumble to myself and get up to go to my room.
