(Y/N's POV)

"No i know, i can't believe they are trying to replace me. I basically started the band." I almost screamed into my phone. "All they did was come up with the stupid name." I complained again "Yeah i know, and like the name sucks." Amelia said. I looked over at the clock on my bedside table. It was almost 3:00 P. M. I had to go take my younger brother to a Christmas party. I had to drive him since our mom got a DWI and cant drive for another 48 days. He's only a few years younger then me. I hung up the phone and slipped on my shoes. When i walked into the living room he was already there sitting awkwardly bouncing his leg. When i reached the living room he quickly got up and started walking towards the car in a rush. It was probably like 2:58 now.
When we finally got there it was 3:15. I had nothing really to do so i drove to where my band would be playing without me. When i got there The girl behind the counter greeted me. The stage was small and probably a little less than a foot tall. As i was wondering around I heard the ringing of someone playing a bass horribly. I can't believe they are replacing me with someone who sounds like that. I thought as i went back up to the bar and just ordered a bottle of cream soda. The girl reached behind her and opened a fridge a pulled out a glass bottle. She handed it to me and i gave her a 10 dollar bill. I sat at one of the long tables with the perfect view of the entrance.
The soda tasted like shit. It was flat and also just had a bad taste. I threw it out and headed home. Once i arrived i got on my laptop to do some homework. After i finished i checked my emails. I had one new one from my tennis coach, it said that our matched was canceled because of snow. 'Damn i went from having to much stuff happening to nothing'. I thought to myself
I checked my phone and noticed i had 17 miss calls and 9 missed texts. It was 7:38, and i was supposed to pick B/N (brothers name) at 5:00. I quickly grabbed my keys and rushed off to where he was. When i finally got there. I knocked on the door a little harsher than intended. The door quickly swung open, and an older woman's head popped out from the side of it. She was holding her dogs collar so it would not get out of the house. "Hey, i'm here to get B/N" i said "Oh he left a few hours ago" i had a shocked look on my face and quickly got back in my car. 'I can't believe she let a 12 year old just wonder home on his own' I thought as i started the car.
I drove around for nearly 2 hours when i finally decided to head home. I would have to wait 24 hours before i could file a missing person report. My heart was basically beating out of my chest. B/N barley ever went out, he never had anyone to take him anywhere cause i was always busy, and mom could not drive. I was so worried, my hands were shaking so much, and i'm pretty sure i was going way over the speed limit.
When i finally got home i fumbled in my pocket and pulled out the key, and slid it into the lock. When i made it inside i saw B/N sitting on the couch watching family feud with mom eating a hot pocket. I let out a breath i did not know i was holding in. I rushed over to him not bothering to drop my bag or the keys in my hand. "Oh my god i thought you were kidnapped" i said engulfing him into the biggest hug. He did not say anything instead he pushed me away and started eating his hot pocket again.
I decided it was not worth trying to defend myself i would just let him cool off and talk to him tomorrow. I left to go take a shower. When i finished i noticed i had a miss call from gary. He also left me a voice message. "Hey so Dennis really does not want to admit it, he even said that you turned to the dark side, but we need to back please just rethink it everyone we auditioned sucked, and it just feels weird without you." Then the message ended.
I knew i would accept their offer, i just could not let them know that the tennis match was cancelled because that would just be embarrassing. So i texted him back and told him i would play. He responded within a few seconds.
