The Opening Act

The Opening Act - Intro

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. 8AM.

Grace's POV:

"GRACE! ARIANNA! IS ANYONE HOME!?" I heard Ricks voice shouting from the Balcony. I was just about to jump in the shower. "Ugh, why can't he just ring the doorbell like a normal person?" I whined as i quickly put on a T-shirt to cover myself up. Rick was our manager. He was a pretty good at his job, but we haven't really accomplished anything other than a EP and a few singles here and there independently. I ran downstairs, not expecting any surprises from him. "What is it?" I said as I slightly opened the door. He pushed the door open, nearly squishing me like a bug between the wall and ran to our apartment without saying a word.

I slowly started walking up the stairs thinking to myself, what could it possible be? He's always been dramatic but today he seems a little bit too hyped. I open the door to my apartment to find that he already managed to wake up Arianna, who isn't really a morning person.

"This is it girls! This is it!" He says as he hugs us both at the same time, squishing ariannas face to mine."Jeez Rick, just get to the point" Arianna complained as she pushes him away. "Pack up, we're leaving to Sydney in two days!" He shouted.

SYDNEY? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MAN TALKING ABOUT !? HAS HE GONE MAD? "Woah, hold on, what?" Arianna was just as confused as I was. "What do you mean Sydney? Thats all the way across the world?" Arianna exclaimed. "Yes, I know. The management of Hi or Hey records want you two to open up for the upcoming tour of-" "Oh my god." Arianna mumbeled. "5 seconds of summer!" Rick shouted.

I stood there completely confused and simply looked at Arianna. We've been best friends long enough to understand eachother through our facial expressions. "Okay, okay, so you're telling us that we are going to be the opening act for 5 seconds of summer?" I said trying to confirm whatever I just heard. "Yes." He nodded calmly.

My body froze. "Please excuse us for a second Rick" Arianna giggled nervously as she pulled me into her room. "Dude, this isn't fucking happening" I said as gripping onto my hair with anxiety. "Dude, this is it! Just like we dreamed of when we were 16." She jumped of happiness. "5 Seconds of Summer, one of our favorite bands, touring with us!" she looked like she was gonna cry. I didn't even know how to feel. I was completely numb and emotionless. I couldn't even think straight. "Grace!" she shook me from my shoulders. "You're gonna finally meet Luke Hemmings!" Holy shit. I was definitely not prepared for this.
