It's in the accent (Chris's story pt1)

It has to be a dream

"Happy birthday by the way" Dimitri murmured as he handed me my boots

"Thank you" he kissed me

"I have a little something for you" I looked at him as we walked up to the house.

"Now I talk from firsthand experience it's not a little something" he paused for a moment and then groaned as I started to laugh.

"One hot night and you're..."

"In love with a hot Russian" I put my hand on the door handle "That helps me forget the bad stuff"

"Love you too" he chuckled as we walked into the kitchen "And I'm glad I can help"

"Happy Birthday" was yelled at me

"Thank you" I smiled as Elena handed me a coffee

"How come you guys are all here?" I sat down as Dimitri rubbed my shoulders

"Business meeting" Elena smiled putting plates of eggs and waffles down in front of all the guys. "eat you need the strength" she nudged Dimitri, he looked at here "Надеюсь, вы использовали защиту с ней (I hope you used protection with her)"

"Mama really" He turned beet red as Niko snorted Orange juice down his nose.

"Mama leave the guy alone" Niko laughed wiping his face

"I was just saying" I looked at Alfie who just shrugged as the door bell rang. Elena walked out of the kitchen coming back in with Dad in tow.

"Happy birthday honey" he kissed my cheek"Dad?" I pulled a face

"Don't worry all of our parents are coming as well" Pete nudged me his mouth full of waffle. "God this food is amazing" Within 30 minutes all of our parents were there apart from my Mother. Lukas and Simon walked in with a guy I'd seen walking round the arena yesterday.

"Okay let's take this into the dining room" Elena said her demeanor becoming totally business. 

We followed her she directed the four of us, We were all so confused; Alfie, Me, Pete and Kerion to the one end of the table out parents sat on one side with Lukas and the others next to Elena.

"So you were all there last night to see these kids do something that not many can people do" Lukas started looking round "and to impress one of the biggest bands in the world to the level that these guys did it means they are something very special" Kerion nudged me and grinned wide

"We're all very proud of them" Alfie's Mom smiled looking at all of us "Christine coming to the school three weeks ago has certainly made a huge impact"

"Three weeks; you guys have only been playing together for three weeks?" the new guy shook his head

"Yes Sir" I nodded "I moved from Wisconsin 3 weeks ago" he pulled out a phone and left the room coming back a couple of minutes later.

"Chad is even more impressed now" he sat down "By the way I'm William Jones I'm the tour lawyer for Nickelback along with Lucas who is their tour manager " We all smiled at him nervously "We have a proposition for all of you"

"Okay" Pete said as I gripped the arm of the chair I was sat in, 

"Well we have songs written by the band that they haven't used" he pulled out a stack of papers and put them down for a price they are yours" William looked at all of us

"We'd love to but we can't afford something like that" I sighed "Were just high school kids"

"Let me finish" he leant on the table and handed some more papers to Elena "The band are willing to give them to you for ten percent royalties from any sales that you may have from them if they are released; and you have three weeks to get them down and up to the standard that you have on the songs you already know"

"So what does that mean" Pete's Dad said shaking his head as the four of us sat stunned

"These guys have three weeks to pull the songs together; we have them on a these he scooted four memory sticks across the table to us Alfie picked them up each had one of our names on it "Then they will all be flown out to Europe to support Nickelback for a month" It felt like all the oxygen had been sucked out of the room and Pete grabbed my hand "We know they are all seniors in high school; so they will have four hours of tutoring per day while they are gone and as they are all now eighteen, thanks to them having the birthday's that they do, they don't need a chaperone apart from Elena" he smiled "they will be signed to the record label and given every opportunity to make it in this business. natural bond and talent like theirs doesn't come along too often. We want to be the ones to make it happen. Nickelback have already said they're going to be right there for these guys". 

I don't think I took in anything of what he was saying. I still swear I was going to be woken up from this crazy dream at any minute.
