In These Coming Years

Chapter 1

*Alice's POV*

" I can't believe you're playing your first show already!" Jessie said throwing her arms around me.

" I know. Thanks to Brendon of course. He's the one who showed me to Fueled By Ramen & they decided to sign me," I shrugged.

" Hey, be thankful. Now you get to tour with us for the Gospel Tour," Brendon said.

" But he's gonna look after Vegas Isabella?" I asked.

" Breezy can do it. She's already taking care of Knox. She can take care of another," Dallon said.

" When are we even leaving for tour together?" I asked again.

" Next month. We have time, so don't freak out," Spencer said.

" Trying not too because I still have to practice with the new band," I sighed.

" What's the band called?" Dallon asked.

" Dirty Diamonds," Brendon replied for me.

" That sounds pretty bad ass to be honest. What do you mean you still have to practice with the new band?" Spencer asked.

" I've only met with the people I'm set up with about twice. We haven't really practiced, we all just needed to get comfortable around each other & stuff since we're all staying in the same bus. The drummer keeps mugging me."

" That's how Spencer was when he first met me!" Dallon chuckled.

Soon we all went our separate ways. Brendon drove us back to our house. We just ate dinner with Jessie, Dallon & Spencer.

When we got home, Vegas was already asleep. We both snuck off to bed ourselves.

The next morning came. Today is the day I practice with the new band. I hope it's not too awkward as it was last time. I'm pretty awkward around them. The drummer & bassist seem to know each other already. They talk all the time. The lead guitarist just ignores us all, but talks when forced to by the drummer.

The drummer seems to have a lot of attitude. I'm not sure if I could REALLY get along with this band or if this band could really get along with each other.

After thinking about the new band, I finally got out of bed to cook some breakfast. Bacon & eggs are the best type of breakfast I could cook, so I just decided on that.

After setting the table, I called Brendon & Vegas out to the dining table. I watched them walk out from the mini studio we have.

" Good morning, love," Brendon kissed me before sitting down between me & Vegas.

" Hi there & good morning to you, Bells," I smiled at her & she smiled back.

" Oh! Mommy! I wanna show you something that daddy taught me," she said.

" What is it?"

" He taught me how to play on the keyboard."

" That's cool. I can't wait to hear it after we eat."

*Brendon's POV*

I washed the dishes as Vegas showed Alice the few notes of The End Of All Things that I taught her. She's a quick learner.

I finally finished the dishes & grabbed my phone. I saw a few texts from Dallon.

Dallon: Need you at the studio.
Dallon: You can bring Alice & Vegi if you want.
Me: I'll be there, but Alice has to meet with DD today. Do you mind if I bring Veg to Breezy?
Dallon: Not at all! Just drop her off at my place & come to the studio.
Me: K thx

I walked over to the mini studio. I saw Vegas sitting on Alice's lap, both playing the keyboard together.

" Hey babe. I gotta head over to the studio with the guys. What time are you meeting with your band?" I asked leaning on the doorway.

" Okay & in about an hour. I'm gonna get ready now," she then looked at Vegas. " Hey, we gotta drop you off at Aunt Breezy's today, okay?"

" Okay! I like spending time with her & Knox!" Vegas smiled.

" Alright. Let's both get ready!" Alice got up & held Vegas's hand as they walked out of the room.

" Can you put my hair in the double bun again?" I heard Vegas ask.

I walked into the bedroom & grabbed some clothing for today. I grabbed my black sweater, black jeans, black vans & beanie. I grabbed my glasses & keys.

I saw Alice wearing a leather jacket, black undershirt, black ripped skinnies with a red plaid shirt wrapped around her waist & Doc Martin's.

Vegas was wearing a little black dress with black converse & her double bun hairstyle which looked adorable on her.

I put Penny in her cage which was in Vegas's room & we were out of the house.

I dropped Vegas off at Breezy's house first, then drove over to the studio. Alice & I are working in the same building but separate rooms.

" Alright, so I'm on floor 12," I said walking into the elevator with Alice.

" I'm on 13," she replied.

We stopped on my floor. I gave her a quick kiss. " I'll see you in a bit, okay? Don't be nervous. You've met them before right?" I asked.

" Yeah but they hate me. I'll see you later, babe," I let go of her hand & walked over to my studio.
