Banding. I love it. I live and breathe music, always have. Countless times, Luke and I have sat down and talked about the future, what we want to be when we grow up. Mine has always been a songwriter, his a rock-star, it's never changed.

Since Ash entered the band and we found a name, we've just been getting better and better. Our sound has developed and we all have more enthusiasm to make this work than we ever did before. I think the whole enthusiasm part is due to Ashton though, he is constantly telling us to get back on track and "make even better tracks then we did the night before".  It was tiring but well-worth it.

Right now we are rehearsing, Jasey Rae by All Time Low. All acoustic,it sounds great we've really pared it back. Pared-back to the point of Ashton playing a bongo drum. As we finish up I usher the boys over to the couch.

"What's up?" Calum says, grabbing a bottle of water, the rest of us followed. I pick my words carefully, I wasn't ready for Luke to grill-into Ash quite yet. I glance over at Ashton and he nods in understanding, he's obviously thinking the same thing.

"Uh.. So I was..." I get cut off by Mikey saying, "wait a sec" holding up his phone to his ear.

 When he returns I start again. "So I was on YouTube, and I found a video of this girl doing a cover of 1. I looked down the page and she had so many views, guys. It was, like, incredible how many views she had." I paused to dramatize what I was saying. " I thought, if you guys want to we could do the same thing, it seems like a really good opportunity to get our name out there that's all." I say, "We don't have to if you don't want to..." I trail off, waiting for their response all of them processing except for me and Ashton who had done the same thing the night before.

"I think it's a great idea." Mikey said first, and then was followed by a chorus of nods and mumbled yes'.

"I think we should, start right away." Luke said looking at me and smiling. "I was hoping you'd say that," I say getting increasingly more excited. "Because I already set up a page." I say grinning, teasingly. The boys just laughed. They'd obviously gotten used to me jumping the gun a little bit.

A little while, after we'd all rehydrated we got into setting the camera up in front of the couch, as it was more comfortable then the ground, where we'd been rehearsing before.

When we'd finished, I looked around at the boys as we all stared at my laptop screen. Waiting for the video to load. We all shared a look of anxious-excitement. This could open doors for us, for the band. When it'd loaded, we refreshed the page, and watched the views go up and up. 1...7...15...24. We all stared at the screen completely absorbed in what we were seeing, it didn't seem real. These people were watching us! Our band, insane.

However we were pulled out of our trance by someone knocking on the garage door. We all look around in confusion. Calum reached over and pulled the rope, opening the door. We were greeted by a pizza-man?

Mikey started to walk over and pay him. "You seriously ordered pizza to our garage?" Luke began to laugh. When the rest of us comprehended this we started to laugh too.

"This pizza-addiction is getting serious man..." Calum laughed. Mikey started walking back to us, "Victory pizza?" he shrugged, stuffing half a pepperoni-slice into his mouth, and resuming his position on the couch.

"Michael has an undying need for pizza at all times." I informed Ash still laughing. "Don't we all?" Ash responds giggling. We all collapse in fits of laughter again, as Mikey continues stuffing his face with pizza.
