Your Band, My Band, and Our Band

Charlotte's POV

Luke asked us if we wanted to stay over for the night and it's not like there is anything wrong with that it's just we haven't done that since we were all ten. Now we're sixteen and well I don't know maybe I'm just being weird. I knew my mum won't mind. All are parents were really close.

"Hey mum!!!" Luke yelled.

"Yes. What is it Luke!?" She yelled back.

"Since the guys are staying over, can Charlotte, Joanna, and Tyler Rose stay too?" He asked.

"Well I guess." She answered.

"Ok this is great and everything but it's 1:15 in the morning and I have a date with Matt tomorrow so I need my sleep." Tyler said getting a blanket out of the hall closet because we have all been here enough times to know where everything is.

"Wait you don't mean Matt Gibson do you?" Ashton asked.

"Yeah we're going to the movies tomorrow. Why is that a problem?" She looked at Ashton.

"No it's just that he is so not your type. he's in detention more than Joanna." Ashton exclaimed.

"Thanks man." Joanna nodded.

"Ok if you think you know my type so well then what is it?" Tyler raised her eyebrows.

"Well you know nice guys that treat girls right and whose after school plans don't include breaking the law." Ashton chuckled.

"Well it's my choice and I think that if we start going out that I'm might have an effect on him that will cause him to be ya know less of a delinquent." Tyler smiles.

After that we all just kinda sat there and did our own things. Joanna, Calum, Tyler, and Ashton were all on their phones or laptops. Luke was sound asleep, and Michael was playing a couple things on guitar.

"Hey Charlotte?" I heard Michael say as I was half asleep.

"Come with me." He says and we head down the hall. The window at the end of the hall lets us get on the roof which we do all the time so I knew that's where we were going. We both hoped out the window and onto the roof.

"Charlotte can I tell you something?" He looks at me.

"Yeah you can tell me anything."

"Do you think we have a chance to ya know make it?" He looked at the stars then at me.

"Of course I do! You guys are my best friends and Joanna, Tyler, and I are behind you one hundred percent." I put my around his neck.

"I know that and I couldn't thank you guys more but we have like a one in a million chance of getting there."

"Mikey," I say taking a breath," don't you get it? You guys already have made it. You're making music with your best friends and you guys already three biggest fans! Isn't music all you've wanted? You guys don't need fame and fortune. All you need is the music." I look into his eyes.

"I guess you're right Char. I love playing guitar but the thing is that's all I want to do.....for the rest of my life." He sighs.

"Then do it! Make it happen! Preform a show somewhere. In fact I'm gonna help you do just that." I say as I think of a great idea.

"How?" He asks.

"My dad's boss owns a hotel and maybe I can get you guys a gig or something." He smiles which makes me smile.

"That would be awesome!! Uh thank you a million times!! I fucking love you for this!" When I hear that we both stop and look at each other.

"What?" I didn't know what to say so I just said the first thing that came to mind.

"Well uh ya know that umm I always tell you guys that." He tried to pull it off with a laugh.

"Yeah but usually it's over text. You've never said it in person." We both just sat there and I could tell he was a little embarrassed.

"Well I fucking love ya too mate!" I break the awkward silence and playfully punch his arm, and we both laugh.

"Well since you told me something I think I should tell you something." I let out a sigh and look at him as he looks at me with interest.

"Well you know how I'm always at school early and sometimes stay after?" I look at him and he nods. "I uhh am actually not trying to get homework done early. I'm kinda in the music auditorium instead." I say grinning at him.

"Ok and so why is that a bad thing?" He asked. "I don't know I just don't want everyone to know cause if everyone knows then my parents might know and I don't want them thinking I'd rather spend all my time on music rather than school, even though I do. Plus they only know I can play piano. They don't know that I can play the guitar, bass, violin and all that other shit." I sigh once again this time even louder.

"Wait I didn't know you play the guitar. Play me something." He says handing me his guitar.

"I don't know. I mean you're a lot better than me and I-" his hand was covering my mouth.

"Char just play the damn guitar." I didn't say anything else and started to play. I played ghost of You by My Chemical Romance and In Bloom which Kurt taught me when I was twelve.

"Wow! You're amazing!"

"No I'm not shut up. You're way better than me." I laugh.

"I'll be right back." He says crawling through the window. He comes back with Luke's guitar.

"I figured I could teach you some stuff and you could teach me." He smiled sitting down next to me. We stayed out there all night teaching each other and playing different songs. After a while we started to see the sun begin to rise.

"Looks like it's morning." He tells me and starts to yawn.

"Yeah I guess we really did stay up all night." I look at my phone and it's almost 6:00 AM.

"Do you wanna get some pizza?" He asks me laying down on the roof.

"Michael, it's almost 6:00." I giggle.

"I know but we missed pizza night. Plus it's never to early for pizza. There is probably some in the fridge." He says and I nod.

"Ok sounds good to me." We both crawl back inside and to the kitchen. Sure enough there was pizza in the fridge. We headed back upstairs with the pizza box and into Luke's room. Everyone was passed out. Ashton fell asleep on a beanbag chair. Tyler was leaning against the beanbag chair. Luke was sleeping peacefully in his bed, and Joanna was........sleeping on top of Calum's chest?

"Umm question. What happened here?" I say taping Michael's shoulder then pointing at Joanna and Calum.

"Uhh well I don't know maybe she was cold or something." He said scratching the back of his neck. I looked at both of them again. Calum was smiling and had his arm around her waist. It was weird but also kinda sweet.
