PhrozenFire: A Band Story

Chapter 4

-Finny's POV-

“Hello?” An unknown voice came from the phone.

“Uhh, hi. Who is this?” I asked in a calm tone.

“This is Sebastian. And who may this be?” Sebastian asked in an equally calm tone.

“Finny. Isn’t this Christophers phone? I called to confirm a date.”

“Indeed it is. However Chirstopher is out with the rest of the band for the day, and he, being idiotic as always, left his phone at the hotel. Are you wondering the date for you and your band to preform at Killing Jello?”

“Of course” I said with an annoyed tone. I didn’t want to talk to anyone besides who I called for. It just drags the conversation on longer than it needs to be.

“Very well. The date is set for Thursday. Your band will be opening for ours.”

“Thanks Sebastian. Bye bye now.” I said, hanging up without letting him have a chance to respond.

Why would they plan a date so early? Its Tuesday, that only leaves us today and tomorrow to practice! Idiots.

On another note, Rockel could not obsessing over Chirstopher. Its always like this when she meets a guy. She wont finish a sentence without saying his name, and being around her all the time, it gets quite annoying. Though I’m always afraid of them hurting her. And by the looks of it, Christopher is an idiot from what Sebastian says.

Sebastian is the drummer for Dead Soul. He wasn’t there at our first concert where Christopher met us, but he seemed to know what was going on. He wore a lot of black. Black hair, jeans, and his eyes are a crimson colour.

“GUYS. WE ARE PERFORMING ON THURSDAY. THAT MEANS WE NEED TO GET OUR SHIT TOGETHER AND PRACTICE!” I yelled so everyone could hear me throughout the hotel room.

“PIPE THE FUCK DOWN!” Rockel's voice flooded the whole hotel, as she yelled even louder than I did.

“Calm your tits Rockel. Finn's right, we need to practice if we only have 2 days. Where shall we go to practice?” Mira said as she walked into the main room of the hotel.

“I say we go rent a room down at Sound Theaters. Their rooms are nice, and they also have cookies whenever I go” Said Tessa, walking beside Mira, dropping cookie crumbs on the snow white floor.

“You need to clean that up when we get back. I will not have a mess of a home to live in” I said, looking over the trail of cookie crumbs that were being dropped.

-----------------------------------------

“Rockel, this song is supposed to be energetic. Not a slow song, raise your voice” Mira said as the music stopped in the middle of the song.

We needed to get this song perfect, since we're only playing one song. And there will be a big audience. Dead Soul is way more popular than us, we only have a couple hundred fans on our page on facebook. But this gig should really bring us a lot of fans if we don’t fuck it up. And a band like this, acknowledging our existence?! We were really getting a good deal.

Tess was playing perfect, Mira was playing perfect, and Rockel had begun to sing perfectly, but I couldn't get the beginning right. Its so easy, and yet I seemed to mess it up. My mind was just to focused on the gig that we were going to play. I didn't want to let Dead Soul down, even more, I didn't want to let my band down! This is the early stage of our career, any screw ups and we've lost our chance.

“Finnnnnnnnnnnn, come on, why are you screwing up? Its so easy?” Rockel said.

“I'm trying. I'm really sorry..” I said truthfully,

“Its alright, she'll get it” Stated Tess.

“I wont let you guys down.. I promise, lets just end this for today. We can perfect it tomorrow and be ready by Thursday..” Mira said, looking exhausted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we got back into the hotel, I immidiatley went into my room. I put on some more comfy clothes and sat on my bed.

“Finn, come out and play rockband with us.” Mira said, walking into my bedroom.

“Uhm.. Sure” I said. I wouldn’t turn down a chance to play rock band.

I put my hair into a high ponytail and walked out of the room. It looked like everyone was in pyjamas. Mira had pyjama pants and a tee-shirt on. Tess had on a onezee which had cookie monster on it, and to top it off, she had cookie monster head slippers. Rockel had on comfy looking shorts, and a loose sweater. I had on baggy pyjama pants and a white tank top.

“Release the frogs!” Yelled Mira, as a hundred frogs came out of a box.

“What the literal fuck?!?!” I yelled, as all the frogs ran past my feet, not fasing me at all. I could care less what they did, because I would not be the one to clean it up.

“AAAHHHHHH” A high pitched scream flooded through the room. We all looked over to Rockel as she was laying on the floor surrounded in frogs about to cry.

The rest of us just fell to the ground laughing so hard.

----------------------------------------------------------

After the mess of frogs was cleaned up by Mira, we all sat down around the TV. The TV was pretty big, and it had a nice surround sound as well. My drums were set up in the middle of the 3 couches arranged in a half circle.

We played for a good couple of hours. We all loved that game, its what started our band career and dream.

After a while, we all retired for the night. This night took my mind off of the big day that was coming up. I felt more confident.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Guys, we are so close to perfecting the song. We just need a little more practice. One more round through it and we should be okay for tomorrow night” Mira said when the song ended.

We were back at Sound Theaters, practising once again.I was still screwing up, but not as bad as yesterday. I was determined to get this perfect.

The song started and I kept to the beat. I did the intro perfectly, and kept a steady beat throughout the rest of the song.

“WOW guys, we were good! Amazing work today. Now lets go home and have dinner, because I'm starving” Rockel whined.

“I agree. We should also get some rest, tomorrows a big day.” I said in a more serious mood.

------------------------------------

We were all sitting on the couches in the main part of the hotel room. We were all in our pajamas again, ready to go to sleep. I could see the tiredness in my band mates eyes. Even Mira looked like she was going to pass out, with her eye patch and all on.

“Alright, I'm going to bed now. Seeya guys in the morning . Don’t stay up to late” I said getting up about to walk to my bedroom.

An unexpected knock came from the main hotel room door. I looked over to my friends sitting on the couch looking confused. No one knows where we live, so why is someone knocking?

I walked over to the door, and paused before opening it. To my surprise, it was the 4 people I didn't want to see the most. Fucking Deal Soul in their pyjamas, at our door.

“Hey guys, I thought since you guys are going to have a big day tomorrow, we would stop by and hang out for a while.” Christopher said, as I let them into the room.

“How do you guys know where we live?” Asked Tess.

“Oh, we have our connections.” Said Leo with a wink.

Just. Fucking. Great.
