"Ladies and Gentlemen, a round of applause for skullflower."
With an embarrassing amount of anxiety, I stepped on stage.
The stage fit:
I looked around at everyone in the audience and my knees almost buckled, wuh-oh.
I looked at the floor as Hunter started speaking,"This... is a little song about," I cringed,"-The Machinery of Torment!!" Oh..! Nobody cheered or anything and I almost perished when the only notable sound was someone's phone notification.
Okay. It's all good, just play and you'll be fine.
My spirits were slightly raised when I saw the huge grin Clay had whilst watching us play. And then, other people started to... vibe? The power of metal, man. When people started moshing I knew I was fucked so I looked over at Hunter, not being miked and yelled,"Take my fucking solo, babe!" Which sounded kinda badass, I can't lie (insert cool emoji).
He gave me a questioning look as if I was crazy but I just nodded and let him do it, just in time for the solo.
He started playing it and fuck, was he good. It looked like he was having some kind of out of body experience, not paying attention to the crowd or anything around him. However, all good things come to an end.
I almost screamed as I saw Hunter get pushed back into the amps, one of them falling ontop of him. My guitar was dropped on the floor and I ran over to him, pushing the amp off.
I almost vomited at what I saw, his bone was STICKING OUT OF HIS KNEE!!!!!!! I took his hand in mine as a pretty useless attempt at comforting him. Well, shit!
Hunter ended up being taken to the hospital, getting a cast put on, all that shit but I'm going to spare you the grotty details and I'm gonna take you right to the end, a few days later.
The four of us were sat in Hunter's bedroom/basement and talking rehearsing, talking about the battle of the bands and general hanging out.
Each of us were messing around with our instruments and I lightly chuckled at Hunter as he talked about how numb his toes were,"What are you laughing at!?" He playfully jabbed me in the side with his guitar,"Fuck you," I briefly stuck my tongue out at him before attempting to tune my own guitar.
"Ugh, this fucking bow is fucked!" Emily threw her bow out, accidentally hitting Hunter with it,"Ow! Dude." He complained,"Ohh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she said half sarcastically,"Dudes are such whiny bitches," I said to Emily, obviously joking and she laughed quietly.
Her newer bow made a prettier sound and she hummed in approval, the both of them playing together a little until
Mr. Sylvester interrupted,"Congratulations. Bronze medalists!" He grinned as he walked down the stairs."Silver medalists. We came second," Kevin quickly interrupted him,"Oh, hey. Looks like you're going viral,"
Mr. Sylvester took out a newspaper with us on the front page,"Well, atleast I didn't get arrested, so progress?" Hunter spoke quieter than usual."Well... no bad publicity, right?" He patted Hunter on the shoulder,"Alright, well, I got a date. Yeah, she's a pediatrician. Big tits, natural.. Not a client!" I wanted to laugh at that but when he had left the room I let out a pretty awkward chuckle.
...
"I can't believe we lost." Kevin said like the punk he is,
"It's fine, it's cool." Hunter smiled,"Their nice guys. The people have spoken, this is what they want." Low-key, I was proud of him for finally having an ounce of maturity.Kevin on the other hand,"No, fuck 'em."
"Fuck 'em. Every single one." Emily agreed,
"Who are people gonna remember? Us. That is us headling!"
"We were pretty good," Hunter smirked,
"No, we were fucking great!""You smashed that intro, dude," Hunter admitted to Emily,
"Yes she did, that was some Yo-Yo Ma shit!" Kevin complimented,"Oh yeah, I was tempted to leave Hunter and steal you from Kevin," I laughed,
"I'm gonna ignore that," Kevin said,"But Y/n you were awesome too with all that technical shit,"
"Fuck yes, she was!" Hunter high-fived me."Guyss! Omg no, I'm blushing!" I fake giggled,
"And your solo.." Emily turned to Hunter,
"Holy fuck, I was unreal but what this motherfucker?" He pointed to Kevin,"Oh, my man slapped them in the faces with his double-bass dick!" Emily said somewhat comically."... Yes. Ah, yes I did," Kevin nodded,
"You know what?" Hunter asked rhetorically,"Let them have their fads, fads come and go but not us. We're forever,"
"Now it starts for us, now people know our name," Emily nodded,"We're skullflower." Hunter grinned,
"Skullflower!!" We all chanted.Fuck, we rip!
