The Look Of Knowledge

10. Someday

Julian's POV

I don't enjoy this shit.

Nick was trying to fit his fucking pinky in my ear while Richard and I were at a staring challenge.

I knew he was flirting with her and somehow it made me mad. Not only because of him but she was probably liking it. I gotta admit the guy's great at it. But fucking respect me dude, I'm the one who's brought her here, not you. Don't steal her from me.

"Julian what the fuck" Nick whispered in my ear. I looked at him taking my eyes of Rich and Mika.

"What?"

"Stop it man, we've been photographed. Just look at the camera so we can go" he said. I did what he told me for a couple minutes and then we were done. She was talking on her phone.

"Alright, get ready. You're out in 15." Ryan told us while he handed me the setlist.

Last Nite

Someday

"Ryan why is there no new songs?" I asked

"I think you should start playing them once you record some more, so that way we're not promoting something that doesn't exist yet. I Can't Win, You Talk Way Too Much, 12:51 and Between Love And Hate are the ones you got by now right?"

"Yes but I'm working on a new one. It's kinda-" I said before he cut me off.

"Great Jules, that's great" Ryan said turning to Fab "You know the set right?"

"Si señor"

"Guys you're the band that plays right now?" Mika asked getting off her phone. Niko told her that we were.

"Alright, I'm gonna go see you guys from the crowd, break a leg!" She said heading to the hallway.

"But why don't you just watch with Ryan and Rich? You'll get a better view" Albert suggested. If he didn't I would.

"No, it's fine, my friend really wanted to see you guys and I told her I'd watch with her"

"Tell her to come" I dropped quickly before she headed out then turned to me.

"Really?"

"Yeah no problem, if she's as pretty as you are then you could introduce her to Nick who's desperate, aren't you honey boo-boo?" Fab said placing his arm around Nick's waist provoking him to punch his stomach and making Mika laugh really cutely.

"That's awesome guys, thank you! I'll call her" she said getting on her phone again.

"You're welcome" Albert whispered glancing at me.

Was I really becoming that transparent?

Mika's POV:

"Thanks" Julian said picking up some panties from the stage he's been thrown at and putting them on the mic stand. I saw Albert approach to him and mouthing something which made him laugh.

"Alright, this is the last song for the night, it's called Someday"

The guys started playing and Julian went to the base of Fab's drums to drink the leftovers of his 3rd beer, then drunkly walked back to the front and started singing.

In many ways they'll miss the good old days, someday.

Someday.

It hurts to say, but I want you to stay, sometimes.

Sometimes...

"They're fucking great!" Nicole yelled into my ear above all the noise.

I was sort of really hypnotized by Julian's vocals, it was so sensual and deep. Certain parts he would sound like off-key but it actually felt right, it was weird. It was more like his voice was like a string and at the end of a sentence it broke and then it was like nothing happened, like it was normal. It just felt right.
