This is it gang, the big one. 

I took a little break from writing, sorry bout that. I'm not overexerted or anything, I just didn't feel like writing this chapter.

*Hailey POV*

Months of work have all led up to this one day.

We need to play our best, otherwise, all of this was in vain.

98% of the stress sits on Jake. If he makes one mistake, everyone will hear us and our points will go into the shitter. Maybe I should just do the singing...

No, I can't think like that. 

This will probably be the hardest day of our lives. 

For the competition, we have to cover one shorter piece and then perform one of our own songs. This year, the competition has some twists.

 Each band needed 6 members, and for the cover, there could only be three. The track didn't count as a 'band member' so we didn't need Sean. In the end, we decided to put Milly, Luke and Jake on stage.

We were going to cover the song 'Roar of the Jungle Dragon' because it was very simple. It had vocals, drums, a track and an electric guitar part.

As for our original song, we were going to sing the one Jake and I wrote, 'Loved By Your Love'.

I've replayed this day hundreds of times over in my head, I've just been stressing myself out. Now that it's competition day, I'm stressing more than ever. I need to take a chill pill, so I called Jake.

Thankfully, he picked up the phone.

"Hey, Jake! Can we talk?"

"Uh-oh... Uhm, sure!"

"Alright then... Meet me outside the theatre."

"I'm already here..."

"Okay, I'll be there in 5!"

I hung up the phone, grabbed the keys and dashed out the door.

*Zander POV >:(*

"YOU'RE BEING A FUCKING CLOWN! THE LIGHTS NEED TO GO HERE, YOU IMBECILE!"

At this point I was FUMING! 

These IDIOTS can't put the lights for our act in the right place. We know the owner of the theater and we were given permission to use custom lighting during our performance. We're hoping it'll give the audience a better experience and prove to the judges that we go above and beyond.

Maybe I was stressing, maybe the lights were in the best place...

I haven't slept in 36 hours. I'm getting really sleepy...

"I'm gonna go to the car real quick so don't do anything stupid!" I told the crews.

I walked to the parking lot, sprawled myself on the backseats of the car and dozed off.

♪♪ But I know I'm gonna change that tune ♪♪

♪♪ When I'm back on top, back on top in June ♪♪"

"Hey, Jake!" Hailey exclaimed, making me scream like a little girl.
