Overture (Jinxx)

Chapter 2

Carolyn

We were finishing the recordings for the day when Jinxx came up to me.

"Can we talk, in private?" He asked me.

I nodded and got out of my chair, leading Jinxx outside of the studio.

"What's up?" I told him.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you who I really was. I was drunk last night and hungover this morning-but you know that. From what I remember, you're a really nice girl. I would love to stay in touch. Especially now, since you're recording our new album."

"Yeah. That would be nice." I said, keeping my green eyes away from his blue ones.

"Give me your phone."

I handed him my phone and he typed in his number. He handed me his phone and I put in my number.

"Jinxx!" I heard Andy say. "C'mon dude! We gotta go!"

"Alright!" Jinxx said. "I'll be out there in a minute!"

"So, do I still have to call you Jeremy, or should I call you Jinxx now?" I asked him.

"Whatever you want." he leaned in and kissed my cheek before turning and leaving with the rest of the band.

~~~~~~~

"Okay." Myra said. "So at the club, you met a guy named Jeremy. You ended up sleeping with him and found out he was this guy named Jinxx. And he happens to be the rhythm guitarist for the band Black Veil Brides-who's your favorite band. And now you're responsible for recording their new album."

"Basically, yeah."

"That's messed up! How on earth did you manage to sleep with an artist and I slept with a nobody. He wasn't even good!"

I giggled. "Apparently, great things happen when you sit at a bar."

"Fuck yeah. Next time, I'm staying with you. You must teach me your ways."

"Alright." I laughed.

We drove back to the apartment in silence. I opened the car door and went up the stairs and unlocked the door to our apartment. I went inside and made a bee line to the kitchen. I grabbed a piece of pizza I found in the fridge. I took a bite from the pizza and went into my room. I finished my pizza and changed into a pair of sweatpants and pulled on a sweatshirt. I climbed into bed-even though it's only eight PM-and fell asleep.

~~~~~~~

I woke up, showered, and changed into a pair of jeans and a black Pierce The Veil shirt. I brushed my hair and teeth before leaving the bathroom. I walked into the kitchen to grab something to eat before I headed out to the studio. I was drinking my coffee in peace when I got a text.

Jinxx:
Hey beautiful ;)

I blushed a little when he called me beautiful.

Carolyn:
Hi

Jinxx:
What's up?

Carolyn:
Drinking coffee before I go to the studio.

Jinxx:
Want a ride? I'm heading out the door now to the studio.

I thought about it for a minute before replying.

Carolyn:
Sure! Here's my address.

I sent him the address as I set my coffee mug in the sink and went to grab a jacket and my black and white Converse. We may live in California, but it gets cold in the winter and spring mornings.

Jinxx:
That's not far from my place! I'll be there in five.

I pulled on my jacket and slipped my phone, keys and wallet in my faux leather over-the-shoulder bag and left the apartment. I stood outside of the apartment complex as I waited for Jinxx to pick me up. Not long after, a black Mustang pulled up in front of me. The window rolled down to reveal Jinxx.

"You coming?" He asked.

I opened the door and sunk into the soft leather seat.

"Nice huh." he said.

"Yeah." I said.

Jinxx pulled out of the parking lot and drove into downtown where the studio was located. He parked the car in front of the building and we walked inside. We walked past the front desk and towards the studio the new album was being recorded. I heard a crash coming from the room. Jinxx an I ran into the room to see a mess. All the papers were scattered across the room, The equipment was messed up, and everything inside the booth was a mess. I turned to the four boys who was standing in he corner. Jake, Ashley and Andy all pointed at CC.

"CC did it!" They yelled.

I let out a loud sigh and got down on my knees to pick up the papers first. Jinxx helped too. We got all the papers together and I got to the equipment.

"CC, what the fuck did you do!"

"I just wanted to playback what we had."

"Well, you ended erasing everything! Two weeks of recording down the drain!"

"Two weeks?!" They all said.

I put my elbows on the table and buried my head in my hands. Gone. Everything's gone. Four finished songs, three of Jake's guitar parts, two of Andy's vocal parts, one of CC's drum parts, and one-and-a-half parts of Jinxx's violin quartet.

"Gone. everything, gone. What are we supposed to do!" I said.

Just then, a phone started ringing. I looked up and turned to see Andy on the phone, leaving the room.

"What about the papers?" I asked.

"Andy and I were trying to find a song, and CC-being the dumbass he is-ran into us and all the papers flew out of our hands, causing the songs to be out of order." Jake said.

I leaned back in the spinning chair and ran a hand through my thin hair. Andy came back in a minute later.

"So, that was John. The tour was bumped up a week. We leave in six days."
