Chapter 6

Julie’s P.O.V

Destinee and I sat on her couch cuddled up in our zebra and giraffe blankets, a bowl of popcorn in between us, with The Great Gatsby playing on our flat screen TV. Gatsby was talking to Nick about Daisy when our house phone began to ring.

Destinee threw her blanket aside with a frustrated sigh before walking into the kitchen.

“Hello?” I heard her answer the phone, before loud footsteps banging over to the doorway.  She quickly returned with shock written over face. She placed the phone on speaker.

“Hello? Destinee are you there?” A familiar voice spoke through the phone.

“Hi…” I spoke unsurely.

“Hello, Julie! We’re The Wanted!” Five voices yelled at once. The Wanted?!

“The Wanted…as in Jay, Nathan, Max, Tom and Siva?” I asked flabbergasted.

“Yes, it’s us babe.” Jay replied coyly.

“OMG BRO!!! It’s The Wanted!!” I screeched at Destinee before we both started yelling and happy dancing about her living room.

“I ccan’t believe this!!”

“AHH! Why did cute sexy Wanted call us?!” Destinee screamed.

“Um…girls? We can still hear you.” Siva whispered, quickly drawing our attention. We rapidly stopped dancing and screaming.

“You-you heard that?” Destinee’s voice dropped as she spoke.

“I’m afraid so, babe.” Nathan replied, his voice thick with smug.

“Oh no…” We groaned before they began to speak again.

“Well anyways, we were wondering if you girls would like to record a single with us, possibly sometime today?” Tom asked sweetly.

“Like? We would love to!” Destinee and I screeched in unison.

“Good, we’ll see you at Jake Recording Studio at 1.” Max spoke.

“Okay see you then.” We replied before the line went dead.

“Bro what are we going to wear?!” I yelled as I ran to my phone, checking the time. 11:38.

“I don’t know but we better hurry and shower because we smell awful.” Destinee cringed, holding her nose.

“Very true, I’ll meet you back up here at 12:30!” I snatched my purse and blanket up, dashing out the door to my apartment.

“Do I look alright?” I questioned as we stood in front of Jake’s Recording Studio gate.

“You look amazing, don’t worry.” Destinee smiled.

“Thank you, you look amazing as always.” I grinned back.

Destinee wore a pair of dark wash jeans with mint green and gray top with a pair of black low chunky Jeffery Campbell boots. Her bangs pulled back by some bobby pins. I picked out my pale pink skinny jeans with my white poka dotted sweater paired with my white converse.

“Are you girls going to go in?” Alex called to us from the Jeep. We turned around, and gave him thumbs up before he continued to speak.

“Come on, we can’t be late!” Alex quickly ushered us in. We were quickly greeted by Scooter Braun.

“Hello girls, I’m Scooter. I’ve heard a lot about both of you.” Scooter stuck out his hand for us to shake.

“Hello, I’m Julie.” I smiled as he shook my hand before moving to Destinee.

“And I’m Destinee.”

“It’s nice to meet you girls. The boys are back here.” Scooter motioned over his shoulder before showing us the way. We entered a room with multiple coloured titles on the walls. The boys were all in the glassed side of the room, with beats on.

“Hey Julie! Hey Destinee!” Tony waved at us as soon as he saw us walk in.

“Hello.” We chorused as we waved back.

“How are you girls?” He asked sweetly before the boys as for the music.

“We’re good, and you?” I replied as Jay and Nathan caught my eye. They were pushing and shoving each other.

“I’m good-boys! Don’t break my equipment!” Tony shouted through the two-way mic. The boys quickly snapped their attention to Tony, before they’re eyes found us. Destinee and I waved shyly waved as the boys came bounding out of the recording booth.

“Hello! We’re The Wanted!” They happily introduced themselves.

“I’m Max.” Max bowed.

“I’m Tom.” Tom smiled widely.

“I’m Siva.” Siva politely stuck his hand out for us to shake.

“I’m Jay.” Jay grinned waving at us excitedly.

“And I’m Nathan.” He smiled.

“Hello, I’m Julie.” I smiled before waving.

“And I’m Destinee.”

“It’s nice to meet all of you.” We spoke together.

“Whoa! That’s cool, are you two like telepathic or something?!” Max asked with pure excitement. Destinee and I busted out laughing before Scooter spoke up.

“So girls, we’ll be recording We Can’t Stop and She Walks Like Rihanna.” Scooter motioned for Tony to give us the music and lyrics. Tony quickly handed us the papers before continuing.

“We couldn’t decide which song we wanted for our single so we’ll record both and see from there.” Scooter smiled at us before Alex and him excused themselves.

“Nath and NeeNee in the booth!” Tony pointed to the glass booth before setting up his soundboard.
