All because of you... [Sam Bettley fan fiction]

Chapter Two

Satuday 11th April

(Oscar POV)

Right now, we were making our way to the Summerian Records offices. 

I was really excited, as you could gather from my yelling last evening. I had been a fan of metal since I was about fifteen years old. 

I lived in London originally, but I met Joey, our guitarist in a bar when I was eighteen. I'm now twenty before you ask.

He started speaking to me, telling me about his band from York, and how he was in London looking for a bass player who likes rock and metal. I of course leaped at the chance to be in a band.

They were already signed to a small label, which we're stuck in now. So I went for it, I'm so happy that I did. As before, I'd normally try to sleep in as many parks as possible in London. 

My parents got divorced when I was about ten, I was forced to stay with my mum who I've never got on well with. Our relationship never improved, I had to get two jobs just so I could afford a bass and amp. 

My mother would always kick me out, so I was ready to leave when I was asked to move here in the states. 

And this is where we're at now really. We are small compared to some other bands on this Asking Alexandria tour that we're going on, but at least it will mean I get to meet my idols and our fanbase could be increased.

"So, I wonder what we'll have to agree with on this contract." Rachel said to everyone in the car. 

"We don't know yet, that's why we're meeting our manager there, so he can make sure we get the best deal with this band. I'm sure we'll be given enough of the profit to be able to buy new equipment and get our second EP going." Joey replied to her. 

He didn't look at her though, as he was trying to drive us all. I was sitting in the back with Hazel, she was looking out of the window, listening to Motley Crue through her headphones. Humming away every now and then.

Hazel was like a best friend and sister to me. But not totally, as I did have slight feelings for her, she's only a year older than me and we click really well. As we're forced to be together almost all of the time, because Joey and Rachel have been dating since sometime last year, we get on well enough.

I think she's beautiful, inside and out. She was the first to move over here, she was totally on her own, but she needed to get away from England, it just isn't the right place for her to live. Without her grandmother that is.

"We're here." Joey said, cutting into my thinking time. 

I looked infront of me at the bulding, I started getting really happy about it all, I just couldn't wait to get in there, sign everything. Then be able to get onto the tour.

An hour later..

(Hazel POV)

"Yes, yes. That's fair enough, but don't you think we could have....." 

Our manager was talking for us in the offices of Summerian Records. Some guy in a suit was sitting at a posh table smiling at us and nodding along to the conversation. The manager of our band had read through our contracts and now he was trying to make an offer with the managing director of the whole label.

I sighed, rolling my eyes. This was so boring, I just wanted to hurry up and leave so I could actually be excited about the tour. 

"Well yes then. That's a deal sir." The director said to our manager, we all stood up and shook his hand. I hadn't heard much of the whole conversation, it was gibberish to me. I'd seen everyone else in the band listening and nodding every now and again. But I bet they hadn't got a clue what they were talking about either.

We sat back down and I leant forward, now signing and reading through myself, the terms and conditions of the tour. It seemed fair enough, then I handed it back to him.

"Well then, thank-you so much everyone. We can't wait to announce the news to the rest of the bands and the fans of course." The managing director said to us all one last time, as he said good-bye to us all.

We all smiled at him and waved back, saying thanks as we left.

We got back into the car, and as soon as we drove away far enough, Oscar started being a fanboy again and screaming about how excited he was to be going on tour with Asking Alexandria, back home in England.
